Patent GB-2348615-A (GB)
Title: Showerhead engine assembly
Inventor: GREENBERG ILAN
IPC: B05B15/522
Filed: 2000-03-17
Abstract: A showerhead assembly comprises a main body 15A, a stator 20, a rotor 30, an engager 40, a seal 50, a pressure plate 60 and a face plate 80. Water enters the showerhead through a hose attached to the main body and proceeds through the stator to the rotor. The rotor blades 34 are angled so as to cause spinning of the rotor as water passes over the blades. Arcuate pads 37 attached to the blades provide a stop surface for the water, thus spinning of the rotor provides alternately an open passage and a stop surface to the water flow, resulting in a pulsating flow. Face plate 80 is equipped with two sets of spray jets (92A) and (92B), which can be aligned with holes in the pressure plate to generate a deflected and a non deflected spray. The face plate also engages with engager 40 in a camming manner, such that rotation of the face plate causes axial movement of the engager. When the engager is moved axially into the showerhead, it prevents the spinning of rotor 30. In use the faceplate can be set in any of four positions. In one position jets (92A) are aligned with the pressure plate, while the engager is positioned axially inwards, in a second position jets (92B) aligned with the pressure plate whilst the engager is positioned axially inwards, in subsequent positions either set of jets are aligned, whilst the engager is positioned axially outwards. Thus four types of spray can be created, a deflected spray or a non deflected spray, either spray being pulsating or non pulsating. Also disclosed are means for generating an aerated spray, which may either replace the deflection means in, or add another spray control method to the showerhead, and provision for the various components of the showerhead to be standardised, such that they may be 'mixed and matched' to provide a range of showerheads from a small number of components.

Patent GB-2357537-A (GB)
Title: Subsea control module
Inventor: PARKS WILLIAM C
IPC: E21B33/035
Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: A subsea control module consists of three primary sections. The lower portion consists of a plate for carrying hydraulic couplings and hydraulic passages from valves to couplings. The lower portion contains a sub-assembly containing electro-optical couplings with direct sealed passages and wiring to a dry electronics chamber. The valve manifold has multiple pressure supply sources and a plurality of valves mounted therein. An outside portion of the valves are exposed so that the valves are externally accessible without disassembly of the subsea control module assembly, which facilitates an increase in accessibility and a reduction in maintenance times and costs. Electronics, wiring and solenoid valves are located in one atmosphere, dry nitrogen purged chamber in a pressure vessel dome. The dry chamber has direct access to transducers and solenoid valves, thereby eliminating subsea cables. A mandrel extends below the device for engagement with a central locking mechanism in a receiver baseplate. Since the mandrel is located below the SCM rather than extending therethrough, space within the device is not occupied by the mandrel. Therefore each module is of a reduced size, which permits the retrieval and immediate replacement of the module by an ROV, which reduces the need to make several trips between the surface and subsea.
Patent GB-2357821-A (GB)
Title: Method of manufacturing gas springs
Inventor: JEFFRIES MARK STEVEN
IPC: F16F9/346
Filed: 1999-08-20
Abstract: The method includes making a fluid communication channel (44), which has a selectively variable cross-sectional area profile, in the inner face of a gas spring cylinder (32) so as to permit fluid communication at different selective rates bypassing around or across the piston assembly (68) of the gas spring (52) as the piston assembly (68) moves within the cylinder (32). Preferably the cross-sectional area profile of the fluid communication channel (44) is initially substantially the same throughout the length of the channel (44) and is thereafter selectively changed in certain portions of the channel (44) so as to restrict and in some instances block gas or fluid flow through the fluid communication channel (44).
Patent GB-2373100-A (GB)
Title: Patch antenna
Inventor: MCKINNON JOHN PETER BRUCE
IPC: H01Q21/00
Filed: 2001-03-06
Abstract: A layered antenna assembly (2) is made of a sandwich of a conducting back plane (6) and interlocking upper and lower complementarily shaped pieces of dielectric material (8, 12) that compress between them a Mylar (RTM) film (10). The film (10) carries an antenna network (40) of radiating patches (42) and feed tracks (44). The lower piece (8) of dielectric material defines an array of plateaus (60) separated by valleys (62). The plateaus (60) are positioned in the areas of radiating patches (42) in the antenna network (40) with the valleys (62) coinciding with the position of main feed tracks (46). The film (10) is folded against side faces (64) of the plateaus (60) when it is sandwiched between the two pieces of dielectric material (8, 12). The use of a non-planar antenna network allows the dielectric spacing between the back plane and patches to be greater than the dielectric spacing between the main feed tracks and the back plane. This provides a broader band, higher gain patch arrangement than conventional patch feeder ground plane arrangements. The sandwich can be held together by use of a two-part plastics housing. An upper part of the housing (14) comprises a radome for the antenna.
