Patent GB-0427659-D0 (GB)
Title: Moisture content sensor and related methods
IPC: G01N33/24
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: A moisture content sensor for measuring the moisture content of a medium. The sensor includes a probe that injects an electrical signal into the medium. Complex impedance circuitry located between the probe and the electrical signal source allows sensing electronics to generate a signal that represents the moisture content within the medium based on changes in the permittivity of the medium. The complex impedance circuitry minimizes the influence of temperature and conductivity of the medium on the sensed signal. The sensing electronics may be adjusted to optimize the sensor for varying medium conditions and to vary the linearity of the response curve based on volumetric water content of the medium.

Title: Apparatus comprising an end fitting connected to a body
Filed: 2009-08-26
Abstract: An apparatus includes a fitting connected to a body. The fitting has an engagement portion including a channel formed into a peripheral surface of it and an axis. The body includes an axial layer provided around at least some of the peripheral surface of the engagement portion of the end fitting and a hoop layer provided around the axial layer at a location corresponding to at least some of the channel so as to urge at least some of the axial layer into a portion of the channel. The channel is arranged such that at least some of it defines a pathway that is non-orthogonal with respect to the axis of the fitting, such that at least some of the surface area of the channel defines a load bearing surface for the transfer of torque between the fitting and body when a rotational force is applied to one of them.

Title: Non-intrusive agitation of fluid medium
IPC: B01F31/42
Filed: 1983-11-25
Abstract: Impeller means 4 and 5 is provided in a container 2 for agitating fluid. The impeller means is movable to effect fluid flow. The impeller means includes an impeller 4 which is separate from a wall portion of the container to a point of which the impeller 4 is connected by supporting means 5. Movement of the impeller means relative to the wall portion is achieved by making the impeller means flexible.A vibrator 6 may be provided to cause movement of the impeller means. The characteristics of the components can be chosen so that when the vibrator is activated the impeller vibrates with a greater amplitude than the wall portion 3. This can be achieved by vibrating the wall portion at a frequency approximately equal to a resonant frequency of the impeller means.

Title: Extensible suspension device
IPC: B65H75/44
Filed: 1985-01-12
Abstract: For suspending an article or object such as a hanging basket normally in a raised disposition in such a manner that it can be drawn down and subsequently returned to its raised position, easily and without use of tools or disconnecting the article or object, the suspension device comprises a suspension band (32) wound upon a drum (20) biassed by a spring (62) towards its wound-up condition. A ratchet disc (30) turns with the drum (20) and has a pawl (44) co-operating with it. Lobes (50) of the disc (30), between adjacent notches (42), are of increasing height so that upon rapid draw-off of the band (32) the pawl (44) will tend to ride over the notches (42). Upon slowing down of the draw-off, the pawl (44) engages into the next subsequent notch (42) to retain the object suspended from the band (32) at the height down to which it has been drawn.
