Title: Reworkable pressure vessel for a superconducting magnet
Inventor: FEUVRE MARK JAMES LE
IPC: F17C13/00
Filed: 2007-12-18
Abstract: A pressure vessel or a method of making a pressure vessel, suitable for a superconducting magnet, comprises first and second parts made from fibre-reinforced thermoplastic which are able to be repeatedly bonded together and/or separated apart by the application of a thermal process. The thermal process can be used to open or close the vessel such that the vessel can be reworked if a fault in the vessel assembly is identified. This can provide savings in the processing time required and the levels of waste material generated during the production of such an assembly. The thermoplastic material may be polypropylene or polyethylene. The thermoplastic material may be suitable for recycling via granulation and moulding processes. The thermal process may be hot tool welding, infra-red welding, laser welding, spin welding, ultrasonic welding, vibration welding or resistance welding forms of fusion bonding. The same or a different thermal process may be used for the bonding and separation of the vessel parts.

IPC: E04F13/14
Filed: 2007-12-20
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a natural stone quoin or corner cladding element includes forming mitred edges (7) on natural stone slabs. Connector holes are drilled (8) in top and bottom edges of the natural stone slabs adjacent but spaced inwardly from the mitred edges. After drying (25) the mitred edges, adhesive is applied (30) to the mitred edges which are then brought together to join the natural stone slabs to form an L-shaped quoin cladding element. Clamp pins are inserted (42) between the connector holes in the natural stone slabs in a top and bottom of the quoin cladding element. After drying, the excess adhesive is removed and outer faces of the quoin cladding element are finished (54, 57) as required. The external edges of the element may be chamfered and recesses may be formed for the clamp pins.

Patent GB-2464086-A (GB)
Title: Tip-in control after closed throttle downshift
Inventor: CHAUDRON JEAN-BAPTISTE
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2008-06-27
Abstract: A vehicle with an engine and an automatic transmission has an accelerator pedal and means for sending a positive torque request to the engine at a beginning of tip-in of the accelerator pedal. This reduces reaction time to about 250ms or 30% after a slight tip in of less than 50 % during a closed throttle downshift. A transmission positive torque request forces the engine to override its tip-in torque management functions and provide a faster torque increase which at the beginning of the tip-in improves considerably the engine response time. In a process of controlling the automatic transmission the positive torque request is sent to the engine only if a driver tips-in on the accelerator pedal and keeps a foot on the pedal, the actual engine torque request is lower than a torque management request and the transmission and engine oil temperature is between 0° and 130°.

Title: False alarm identification for malware using clean scanning
Inventor: NIEMELA JARNO
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2009-06-10
Abstract: Received files, for example in web traffic, are scanned when entering the computer system, by at least one malware scanning engine to determine whether or not the file possesses properties that are indicative of malware such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, rootkits, adware and spyware. If it is determined that the file does possess properties that are indicative of malware, then at least one cleanliness scanning engine is used to determine whether or not the file possesses properties that are indicative of a clean file. If it is determined that the file possesses properties that are indicative of a clean file, then a false alarm is signalled. The system may therefore determine for example where the software does not make application programming interface calls, include graphics, sound, is in multiple languages, have clear text strings or has been known to the system for sometime, then it may be identified as being safe and therefore is released from quarantine by signaling a false alarm by the cleanliness scanner.
Patent GB-2463149-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for ion mobility separation and measurement
Inventor: RATHER OLIVER
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2009-09-01
Abstract: According to the invention, a jet 27 of ion containing gas is produced by the adiabatic expansion of the gas through a nozzle 6 into a vacuum to push ions of sufficiently low ion mobility over an electrical field barrier. No ion guide 8 is necessary if the field barrier is located close to the exit of the nozzle (see Figs 6 & 7). If the field barrier is located at some distance from the nozzle 6, an ion guide 8 may serve to canalize the ions to the field barrier. By changing the height of the field barrier continuously, the measurement gives the integral over the mobility spectrum, and its differentiation provides the mobility spectrum. A second version of the spectrum acquisition method involves temporary storage of the ions in the ion guide and results in a direct measurement of the mobility spectrum. The nozzle 6 is preferably a Laval nozzle (see 6 in Fig 8).

Patent GB-884706-A (GB)
Title: Polymerization with organo aluminum compounds
IPC: C08F20/12
Filed: 1958-03-31
Abstract: Esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids are polymerized with the aid, as a catalyst, of an organo aluminium compound of the formula <FORM:0884706/IV (a)/1> where R, R11 and R111 represent hydrocarbon groups, although one R may represent hydrogen, the polymerization being carried out in the substantial absence of water, oxygen, or any other substance which would interfere with the reaction. Polymerization may be carried out in bulk or in solution in an inert solvent such as benzene, toluene, xylene, naphtha or diethyl or dibutyl ether.  Organo aluminium compounds specified are those in which the hydrocarbon groups are alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl groups, e.g. trimethyl, triethyl, tripropyl, triisopropyl, tributyl, tricyclohexyl, triphenyl, tritolyl, trinaphthyl and tribenzyl aluminiums, and diethyl, diisopropyl and diphenyl aluminium hydrides. Preferred polymerizable esters are those of the formula CH2 = C(R)COOR DEG  where R is hydrogen and R DEG  is an alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl or aralkyl group, e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, methlcyclohexyl, phenyl, benzyl, methyl benzyl, allyl, pentenyl, undecenyl and oleyl groups.  The process may be employed to homopolymerize the above esters or to copolymerize them with one another.  At the end of the reaction, and before the destruction of catalyst, the tendency for the polymer to cross-link on exposure to oxygen may be overcome by treating the reaction product with a compound having a reactive hydrogen atom, e.g. a C1-C4 alkanol, a methanolic solution of hydrochloric or acetic acid, an ethanolic solution of acetic acid, a nitroparaffin, a malonic ester or an acetoacetic ester.
Patent GB-909054-A (GB)
Title: Purification of tolylene diamines
Inventor: GARDNER CYRIL
Filed: 1961-03-17
Abstract: A process for the purification of mixed tolylene diamines obtained by the reduction of the dinitro compounds produced by the direct nitration of toluene comprises treating the diamines with a solvent of a temperature of from 20 DEG C. to -20 DEG C. preferably from 0 DEG C. to -20 DEG C. and removing the undissolved purified aromatic diamines from the solution.  Suitable solvents are water, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and isopropanol, and mixtures of such alcohols with water, and mixtures of chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and xylene, with aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, isooctane, cyclohexane and mixtures thereof, for example light petroleum (boiling point 40 DEG  to 60 DEG C.) and o-dichlorobenzene.  The solvent is preferably used in an amount from half to ten times the weight of the diamines to be purified.  The process may be carried out by mixing the aromatic diamines, preferably in a finely divided form, with the solvent at the desired temperature, and agitating the mixture until all soluble material has dissolved.  Alternatively the diamines and solvent may be mixed at an elevated temperature, for example at 50 DEG  to 100 DEG C. until all soluble material has dissolved, and then cooling the mixture to the desired temperature range, when the undissolved purified diamines are removed by, for example, filtration or centrifugal means.  Examples are given of removing the ortho isomers as impurities in a mixture of 2:4 and 2:6 isomers of diaminotoluenes using isopropanol and ortho-dichlorobenzene as solvents.
