Patent GB-2580622-A (GB)
Title: Method to improve the pressure variation tolerance of gas measurement devices
Inventor: STEVEN DINSDALE
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2019-01-17
Abstract: A sample probe 1 takes sample from a source of emissions such as an engine, which may be at sub-ambient or super-ambient pressure. The sample probe supplies sample gas to a gas analyser 6 via a capillary tube 5. Downstream of the entrance to capillary tube is a short continuation of the sample probe. Downstream of the continuation is a diffuser 7 which recovers static pressure lost due to wall friction in the continuation. Downstream of the diffuser is a chamber 3 held at constant pressure connected to a vacuum source 4. The combination of the constant pressure chamber, the short distance from the capillary to the chamber, and the diffuser improve pressure isolation of the end 8 of the capillary tube from sample pressure fluctuations, and thus also isolates the flow in the capillary tube to the analyser from sample pressure fluctuations. This ameliorates inaccuracies in the analyser flow rate changes due to pressure fluctuations at the sample source. The analyser may be flame ionisation detector (FID) or a chemiluminescence detector.

Title: Controlling movement of landing gear or landing gear bay doors
Inventor: SEAN KERR
IPC: B64C25/26
Filed: 2019-06-27
Abstract: An aircraft landing gear control system 100 has at least one position sensor 131,132,133 and a controller 140. The controller receives a signal from the sensor of the position of a part of either a landing bay door 111, or a landing gear 121, during their movement between stowed and deployed positions, and controls movement of the other part on the basis of the signal. The positions of both parts may be sensed, and parts relative position used by the controller to control the movement. The sensors may sense angular position, linear position and/or curvilinear position, and may continuously or repeatedly sense the position along a path, the controller determining the speed of movement of the sensed part. The controller may be used to initiate movement of the controlled part; rate-controllable actuators 114,124 used to move the controlled part with the controller varying the speed of movement on the basis of the position or speed of the sensed part; alternatively, on the basis of additional signals such as: bogie pitch, another landing gear status, engine status, component failure or defect, and/or crab angle.

Title: Continuous Ink Jet printer and print head assembly therefor
Inventor: STEPHEN JOHN COOKE
IPC: B41J2/41
Filed: 2019-07-24
Abstract: The print head cover (83, Fig.6) of an electrostatic deflection inkjet printer is made of a material having an electrical surface resistivity of no more than 1012 ohms per square or an electrical volume resistivity of no more than 109 ohm metres and is electrically connected to an earth line 93, 97. This prevents build-up of electric charge on the cover. The resistance from the surface of the cover 83 to a place where a cover earth line 93 joins a signal earth line 97 or enters the umbilical 7 is at least 16000 times the resistance from that place to earth. This prevents an electrostatic discharge to the cover disrupting the electronic circuits. The high resistance earth connection for the cover avoids the need for an earthing wire braid in the umbilical. The electrical resistance from every uncovered place on an external surface the cover to an electrical reference location being at least 100Ω. The cover may be moulded from an antistatic or static dissipative material.
