Title: A turbomachine casing assembly
Filed: 2012-01-25
Abstract: A turbomachine casing assembly 100;200;300 comprises a first casing element 110;210;310 locatable radially outward of one or more rotating aerofoil elements 130 of a turbomachine, a second casing element 120 located radially distal to the first casing element110;210;310. A void 134 is provided between a radially proximal face 114;214;314 of the first casing element 110;210;310 and a radially proximal face 124 of the second casing element 120, at the first end 112;212;312 of the first casing element 110;210;310.  The first end 112;212;312 of the first casing element 110;210;310 is located against a corresponding first end 122 of the second casing element 120 by an energy absorbing element 140;142;230;340, with the first casing element 110;210;310;comprising a cantilever 180. The cantilever 180 is arranged in a region extending along the first casing element 110;210;310 from the first end 112;212;312;and having a pivot axis 182 at a mid portion thereof.  Release of one of the rotating aerofoil elements 130 results in the element 130, or part thereof, impacting the first casing element 110;210;310 which results in the cantilever 180 bending into the void 134 provided between the first and second casing elements110;210;310,120. This enables the rotating aerofoil element 130 to be trapped within the casing assembly 100;200;300.

Title: Method for joining superconducting wires and superconducting joint
Filed: 2012-05-02
Abstract: A method of electrically joining superconducting wires comprises: stripping matrix material from the wires to expose superconducting filaments 16; placing the filaments 16 between electrically conductive pieces 10, 14 and apply magnetic welding to the electrically conductive pieces 10, 14. This forms a superconducting joint wherein the filaments 16 are cold welded with molecular bonds between each other and between the filaments 16 and the two electrically conductive pieces 10, 14. One of the electrically conductive pieces may be an electrically conductive cup or tube 10 with at least one open end 17 and the other electrically conductive piece may be an insert 14, wherein the magnetic welding step drives the insert 14 into the cup/tube 10 with the filaments 16 positioned between the insert 14 and the cup/tube 10. Before the welding step, the filaments 16 may be wrapped around the insert 14 or formed into a loop and placed within the cup/tube 10 or wrapped over the tapered end 15 of the insert 14. The tapered end 15 of the insert 14 may then be aligned with open end 17 of the cup/tube 10 in preparation for the magnetic welding step.

Title: Apparatus and method for image content replacement
Filed: 2012-06-12
Abstract: A camera image receiving unit (44) receives video images (21) from a camera (20) observing a scene including a subject (10). A mask signal generating unit (46) generates a mask signal (43) that defines marked areas of the video images corresponding to the subject. A content substitution unit (47) substitutes the marked areas with alternate image content (42) according to the mask signal to output modified camera images (41). An image selector unit (48) selects the alternate image content amongst at least a first alternate image content (42a in fig. 4) when the subject is determined to be in a first condition within the scene and a second alternate image content (42b in fig. 4) when the subject is determined to be in a second condition within the scene. The first and second alternate image contents may be selected based on a determined camera zoom value or a camera angle. The subject may be marked using active illumination, e.g. using infra-red LEDs, and detected using a detector (60).

Title: Self-contained patient monitor
IPC: G16H40/67
Filed: 2011-11-18
Abstract: A device for continuous, uninterrupted patient monitoring includes a portable, self-contained Patient Worn Hub (PWH) device. The PWH is a compact, lightweight patient monitoring device designed to remain with the patient for the duration of care. Parameter measurement devices connect to the PWH. Third party parameter measurement devices connect to the PWH via the use of a connection assembly that translates the information provided by the third party device to the protocol embedded within the PWH. The PWH is able to communicate with a bedside monitor via wired cables or wirelessly. Measured values are shown on external displays and/or on an optional integrated PWH touchscreen display. The PWH includes internal memory for storage of patient data and trends. The PWH optionally includes a docking station for providing operating and battery charging power. The PWH is assigned to each patient and will remain with that patient across multiple departments throughout the care process, thus eliminating the need for re-cabling patients.

IPC: G01S17/933
Filed: 2001-06-06
Abstract: An obstacle advisory system determines the likely trajectory 16 of a vehicle and possible waypoints 17, 18 and 19 at predetermined intervals  DELTA  chi  along the trajectory 16. The system determines if the trajectory 16 is straight or curved and dependent on this determination uses an associated equation to determine the distance  DELTA  chi  between waypoints 17, 18 and 19 along the likely trajectory 16. <??>For a straight trajectory the interval  DELTA  chi  between waypoints 17, 18 and 19 is calculated by: <DF> DELTA x = 2<SQRT>R<2> - y<2></SQRT> </DF> where R is the radius of a spherical region 20, 21 or 22 around the vehicle and y is the radius of a notional minimum sphere that encloses the vehicle. <??>Then analysis determines whether or not a region 20, 21 or 22 centred around its respective possible waypoint 17, 18 and 19 includes an obstacle. If the region 20, 21 and 22 does not include a obstacle then the system can disregard the volume enclosed by the region 20, 21 or 22 from further analysis thereby saving processing. Alternatively, the system subdivides the region into smaller regions for further analysis and determination as to whether or not the region still includes the obstacle. <??>The results are displayed to an operator of the vehicle. Calculation of waypoints for a likely curved trajectory is also disclosed. <IMAGE>
