Title: A method of manufacturing a hollow shelled component and a component
Inventor: CARL PERRIN
IPC: B23K33/00
Filed: 2017-05-11
Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a hollow shelled component, opposed longitudinal edge regions of a blank 50 of thin-gauge sheet metal are folded out of the plane of the blank in the same direction to produce flanges. The blank is then bent to bring the longitudinal side edge regions together and define a hollow section with the flanges located proximal one another projecting inside the hollow section. Opposed longitudinal side edge regions of the blank are then joined together by welding or brazing to form a longitudinal seam, with the heat source 86 applied to the outside of the hollow section. The method is particularly suitable for forming an exhaust mufflerfor a vehicle from stainless steel. An internal mandrel and external clamps may support the hollow structure, (72, Figure 11) and an inert gas may be located within the hollow structure during welding. The flanges may comprise notches which are aligned in the assembled shell and which locate baffles introduced into the shell. The slots may have an angled lead-in (94, Figure 16) to aid insertion of the baffles. End plates may locate in end-plate notches in the flanges. The blank may be laminated.

Title: Exercise cord apparatus
Inventor: PETER GEORGE RODWELL
IPC: A63B21/06
Filed: 2017-05-15
Abstract: An exercise machine comprising a cord 1 having a grip 2 secured to a first end, and a sliding element 3 on the opposite end mounted for linear movement along a guide 4. When a user applies force to the grip, it is resisted by tension in the cord. The sliding element is caused to slide solely by the tension in the cord, so it tracks the movement of the user. The force resisting movement of the grip acts in a direction substantially perpendicular to the linear movement guide. The cord may be inextensible, coiled around or within the sliding element. The guide may be connected for rotation and the sliding element may be mounted for rotation with the guide. There may be an electric motor to provide resistance in one embodiment (figure 2). In another embodiment, the cord may be elastic and extensible, such as a resistance band used with a barbell (figure 3). The guide for the sliding element may be mounted in a horizontal plane or a vertical plane, with the force resisting movement always perpendicular to the sliding element guide.

Title: A display device and system
Inventor: STIG MIKAEL COLLIN
IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 2020-06-02
Abstract: A logic circuit outputting a stream of pixel positions for a row of a pixelated display device for calculation of software functions based on the pixel positions, for display on the display device. In particular, the software function is a Fourier transform for displaying a holographic image using a spatial light modulator (SLM), and the crux of the invention is a unity adder, or binary counter/incrementor circuit 100 that is arranged to output multiple consecutive binary values representing pixel positions per clock cycle. The incrementor 100 comprises a first unity adder/counter/incremetor 102 outputting consecutive values, each value then being passed to multiple parallel appending units 104. Each appending unit corresponds to a two bit index, v, (for example, representing values 0-3) and appends the two bits corresponding to its own index to the input value. The result is that, for each value output by the first unity adder, the parallel appending units output four consecutive binary values. The purpose is to provide a dynamically generated stream of pixel position quickly enough such that an SLM can obtain enough calculated pixel data per clock cycle to function correctly.
