Title: Generating residual stress in hollow body during cure to deflect composite body on relaxation
Inventor: MCMILLAN ALISON JANE
IPC: B29C70/54
Filed: 2010-11-04
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a component comprising a hollow axisymmetric body formed of a cured composite material. The method includes the step of positioning the constituents of the composite material in a mould corresponding to at least a portion of the hollow axisymmetric body. The composite material is cured into a composite part, and residual stresses are generated in the composite material during the curing by controlling the temperature of the constituents in the mould. When the composite part is released from the mould, relaxation of the residual stresses causes one or more regions 32 of the composite part to deflect in the radial direction of the hollow axisymmetric body, the position of greatest radial deflection of each region having a radial deflection which is at least 0.1% of the greatest diameter of the hollow axisymmetric body. An effect of the deflected geometry can be to provide additional stiffness relative to the load cases that the component is intended to withstand. The residual stresses may be generated by the application of thermal gradients during curing, the use of bracing elements 38 integrated into the composite part such as ribs 36 or flanges 40 or regions of thicker composite material 38.

Title: Debris catcher with retention within screen
Inventor: DAVIS JOHN P
IPC: E21B27/00
Filed: 2010-08-20
Abstract: A debris catcher uses induced circulation from a venturi to urge debris laden flow into the lower end of a housing. An inlet tube maintains velocity so as to keep the debris moving with the fluid stream as it goes up the inlet tube. A screen fits over the open end of the inlet tube and runs down around the inlet tube toward the entrance of the debris laden fluid into the lower end of the housing. There is a clearance around the cylindrical portion of the screen so some flow can exit that way. There is also an open exit through the top of the screen that can be reached after the fluid stream makes two hairpin turns. Many modules can be stacked. Each module has a large screen area for flow to exit and progressive modules can have smaller screen openings in an uphole flow direction.

Title: A method of differential etching of the subterranean fracture
Inventor: LESKO TIMOTHY
IPC: C09K8/62
Filed: 2008-02-19
Abstract: A method of differential etching of the subterranean fracture in which particles which are initially non-tacky/non-adhesive are pumped into the fracture by means of a fracturing fluid or other means of conveyance. At a prescribed time, the particles exhibit adhesive properties. The interaction of the adhesive particles with each other or the fracture surface leads to the non-uniform distribution of material within the fracture, and the particles of agglomerated material impede/restrict the flow of reactive fluids through them, and require the fluid to flow around them. The particles may be plates, beads, ribbons, fibers or mixtures.

Title: Food mixing arrangement
Inventor: PENDLETON OLIVER
IPC: A47J43/07
Filed: 2012-12-14
Abstract: A tool 60 that is attachable to an electrically driven stand mixer is configured, when suspended into a bowl and driven in planetary motion by the stand mixer, to perform a mixing operation that involves folding ingredients together without substantial expulsion of air from the mix. The invention aims to automate the folding action by providing a food mixing arrangement in which a tool having a wing-like volute blade 62 and which may comprise a part spiral form is suspended by its shaft from a drive outlet of the stand mixer and executes a planetary motion within a mixing bowl. The blade is twisted along its length and has curved surfaces formed to gently lift and turn ingredients to be mixed in the bowl so as to simulate a gentle folding action similar to that achieved manually by an experienced cook. The leading edge 66 of the blade may be thinned relative to the remainder of the blade, the leading edge may also support a flexible elastomeric material.

Title: Resource allocation in a wireless local area network (wlan)
Inventor: TONG FEI
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2013-01-03
Abstract: In order to improve network throughput for networks with a high number of stations and with wide network coverage, stations are divided into groups. Wireless resources for communications between access points and stations are partitioned and allocated on a group Â­by-group basis. The stations are then able to compete for usage of the resources allocated to their respective group(s) using CSMA/CA. Stations may be allocated to groups based on MAC address, service data rate or location. The access point transmits periodic beacon signals including allocation information and resources. A station may transmit a list of nearby stations to the access point which may trigger allocation to a group of stations in the vicinity.
