Title: Securing Wire Rope
Inventor: BOALER DEREK
IPC: F16G11/00
Filed: 2008-06-12
Abstract: An arrangement for securing a small diameter wire rope (10) having a loop (11) at one end comprises a crimped or swaged ferrule (12) having an annular flange at its end adjacent the loop, and a washer (18) having a slot (19) that is a sliding fit over the wire rope (10) extending from a hole (20) to its periphery (21). The arrangement can be used to secure the wire rope (10) to a post (23) (or a structural member). The hole of the washer is sized so that the flange of the ferrule flange cannot pass through it. The arrangement can be used with a post which has a hole (22) through which the loop (11) and ferrule (18) can be passed. The slotted washer (18) is then slipped over the wire rope (10) to abut the flange (15) at one side and the post (23) around the hole (22) at the other side to prevent the arrangement from being passed back through the hole. The end of the ferrule remote from the flange may protrude through the hole in the post or structural member to prevent the rope from chafing.

Title: Genotyping bovines for SCARB1 polymorphisms
Inventor: THOMAS NATALIE LOUISE
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2008-09-26
Abstract: The present invention provides methods of genotyping bovine for desired milk or tissue colour or   b  -carotene content traits by determining the SCARB1 genotype of said bovine, particularly as the presence or absence of the C or G allele at the C-321G promoter polymorphism in the SCARB1 gene is associated with variation in milk or tissue colour or   b  -carotene content. The methods include determining the SCARB1 allelic profile of the bovine, determining the genetic merit of the bovine and selecting or non-selecting it accordingly. Detection of the SCARB1 polymorphism may utilise linkage disequilibrium, expression or activity of the gene or gene product. A kit for genotyping a bovine, suitable primer sequences and the SCARB1 gene sequence are also provided.

Title: Analysis device comprising a transducer with stiffening elements
Inventor: MONAGHAN PAUL BRENDAN
IPC: G01N21/17
Filed: 2009-09-03
Abstract: An analysis device to detect the presence of an analyte in a test sample comprises a transducer 109 formed of a layer of pyroelectric or piezoelectric material sandwiched between first and second electrode layers. The transducer is arranged to produce an electrical voltage across the electrode layers in response to heating or straining of the material layer. The device also comprises first 111a and second 111b planar stiffening elements sandwiching the transducer for maintaining the transducer in a flat condition. Each element exposes a portion of a respective electrode layer of the transducer for electrically connecting the transducer to an external test apparatus, the exposed portions being laterally offset from each other such that the exposed portions are each supported across the whole of their area by the stiffening element on the opposite side of the transducer. Noise in the electrical output signal caused by environmental effects is reduced by keeping the transducer flat.

Title: Hydrogen resistant optical fiber/grating structure suitable for use in downhole sensor applications
Inventor: HOMA DANIEL S
IPC: C03C13/04
Filed: 2008-05-15
Abstract: A hydrogen-resistant optical fiber particularly well-suitable for downhole applications comprises a relatively thick pure silica core and a depressed-index cladding layer. Interposed between the depressed-index cladding layer and the core is a relatively thin germanium-doped interface. By maintaining a proper relationship between the pure silica core diameter and the thickness of the germanium-doped interface, a majority (preferably, more than 65%) of the propagating signal can be confined within the pure silica core and, therefore, be protected from hydrogen-induced attenuation problems associated with the presence of germanium (as is common in downhole fiber applications). The hydrogen-resistant fiber of the present invention can be formed to include one or more Bragg gratings within the germanium-doped interface, useful for sensing applications.

Title: Electro-optical system
IPC: H04N3/12
Filed: 1938-04-01
Abstract: 493,687. Television. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. April 1, 1938, No. 10091. Convention date, June 4, 1937. [Classes 39 (i) and 40 (iii)] Each source of light 101 in a line 100 is rendered effective individually and successively and co-operates with a transverse scanner 250. Received signals modulate a local oscillator 30. Synchronizing signals are separated by an amplitude filter 60, reversed in phase by a valve 70 and cause an approximately sawtoothed current in the output coil 81 of a valve 80. This is so coupled to the tuning circuit of the oscillator 30 as to cause it to pass through a frequency range covering the natural frequencies of piezo-electric crystals 171. Each crystal is energized in turn and passes the appropriate signal through an amplifier 181 to the corresponding light 100. A condenser 191 prolongs the activity of the light source, but is shunted by a resistance 192 such that the charge leaks away during the scanning of a line. The individual beams of light are kept separate by lenses 210, 240 in tubes, Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown). The frame scanning is produced by a mirror drum 250, which is driven through gearing 340 by a motor 320 controlled by a synchronizer 300. The synchronizer is a synchronous A.C. motor with a rotor having as many teeth as the number of scanning lines, and stator with similarly angularly spaced toothed poles, Figs. 5 and 6 (not shown). The source of light may be of the crater type, Fig. 10 (not shown), or of the cathode-ray type, Fig. 11 (not shown), employing fluid cooling, Fig. 12 (not shown). If the circuits do not pass the D.C. component, a proportion is byepassed and used to bias the light sources, or the bias may be adjusted manually, Figs. 13-16 (not shown).

Title: Process of treating aluminium containing raw materials
IPC: C01F7/22
Filed: 1934-04-03
Abstract: Aluminiferous materials having a high percentage of silica, such as kaolins, clays, and certain bauxites, and not more than 12 per cent of iron are preferably roasted and then treated with hydrochloric acid to obtain a solution of chlorides which after separation from undissolved silica &c., is treated with calcium aluminate to precipitate aluminium hydroxide and obtain a calcium chloride solution.  A part of the hydroxide precipitate is converted to a sodium aluminate solution from which pure aluminium hydroxide may be obtained, whilst the remainder is mixed with the calcium chloride solution, the mixture evaporated to dryness, and after optional pulverization, heated in the presence of steam to obtain hydrochloric acid for re-use in dissolving more raw material and calcium aluminate for re-use in precipitating aluminium hydroxide.  In a modified process the chloride solution is precipitated with a mixture of calcium aluminate and calcium carbonate, the resulting mixture of aluminium hydroxide and calcium chloride solution dried, pulverized, and heated in the presence of steam to obtain hydrochloric acid for re-use and calcium aluminate, a part of the calcium aluminate is treated with sodium carbonate to obtain calcium carbonate and sodium aluminate, the other part of the calcium aluminate and the calcium carbonate is re-used for precipitating the chloride solution, and aluminium hydroxide is recovered from the sodium aluminate solution, as by treatment with carbon dioxide to obtain sodium carbonate for treating fresh quantities of calcium aluminate.  Undissolved silica recovered from the chloride solutions may be mixed with Portland cement to adapt it for use in concrete structures below the surface of water.ALSO:Silica obtained as a residue when aluminiferous materials such as Kaolin, clay, or bauxite, preferably previously roasted, are treated with hydrochloric acid, is dried at a low temperature and then mixed with Portland cement, say in the proportion of 3 parts cement to 1 part silica, to adapt the cement for use in concrete structures below the surface of water.

Title: Improvement in and relating to apparatus for measuring frequencies
IPC: G01R23/00
Filed: 1963-03-15
Abstract: 971, 291. Measuring frequencies of electric Signals. SUD-AVIATION SOC. NATIONALE DE CONSTRUCTIONS AERONAUTIQUES. March 15, 1963 [March 19, 1962 ], No. 10453/63. Heading G4H. To enable the frequency of a signal to be measured over a short period by counting cycles, the unknown frequency 2, Fig. 1 is multiplied by a fixed number at 1 and cycles of the product frequency 3 are counted at 4, the frequency 2 being determined by dividing the count by the multiplier number and the time interval. The multiplier 3 may consist of a series of doublers as shown in Fig. 2, the transistor 6 giving antiphase signals on the collector and emitter which are halfwave rectified by diodes at 7 and added to obtain a series of positive halfcycles. This signal is smoother at 8 to provide a double frequency signal. Instead of using transistor 6 a transformer with centre-tapped secondary may be used. Because of harmonics this sort of multiplier is unambiguous only if the frequency does not vary over a range of 1-1. 5. For greater expected variations the range of operation of the multiplier is reduced by adding a large constant frequency in a single side band modulator 10, Fig. 4 multiplying as before and subtracting a frequency equal to that added times the multiplier number. The modulator frequency may be derived by dividing the demodulator frequency by a number equal to the multiplier number. This may be 256 obtained by using 8 doubling and halving stages.
