Title: Extracting power from a fluid flow
IPC: F03B17/00
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: An apparatus for extracting power from a fluid flow comprises a fluid driveable engine, a conduit, disposed to enable fluid communication between a portion of the fluid flow, the fluid driveable engine and a transmission fluid, the fluid in the fluid flow and the transmission fluid being different fluids and the portion of the fluid flow being at a lower pressure than the transmission fluid by virtue of its flow rate, thus causing the transmission fluid to be drawn through the conduit to become entrained in the fluid flow, the fluid driveable engine being arranged such that the flow of the transmission fluid along the conduit acts to drive the fluid driveable engine.

Title: Electronic image capture with reduced noise
Filed: 2006-07-31
Abstract: An electronic image capture system for capturing a reduced noise image of a scene includes a detector array and an image processing apparatus. The detector array provides to the image processing apparatus data representing at least one image of a scene detected by the array. The image processing apparatus holds a noise model that characterizes the noise performance of the image capture system. Based on the image data and the noise model the image processing apparatus identifies one or more portions of the scene that are predicted to contribute disproportionately to visible noise in an image formed from said image data. Based on the identified portions of the scene and the noise model, the image processing apparatus determines an exposure pattern for the image capture system that is predicted to produce multiple exposures of the scene that are combinable to produce an image with a minimal predicted noise.

Title: 3D Imaging system
Filed: 2008-04-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method for computing a three dimensional model of a surface of an object are disclosed. At least one directional energy source (106-109) directionally illuminates the object (101). An imaging assembly (104), having at least two spatially separated viewpoints (111,112) at fixed positions relative to each other, records a series of images of the object at each viewpoint when the object is illuminated by the source. At least one localisation template (102,103) having predetermined geometrical features is visible to at least one of the viewpoints simultaneously with the object. The images recorded at the viewpoints are analysed so as to determine the location and pose of each viewpoint relative to the template for each image in the series of images. Photometric data for the object is generated using the calculated location and pose of the viewpoints and the image data. Geometric data comprising an initial three dimensional model of the object is generated by performing stereoscopic reconstruction using optical triangulation. The geometric data and photometric data are then combined to construct the three dimensional model.

Title: Separating particulate materials
IPC: B03C7/04
Filed: 1983-11-16
Abstract: Particles having different properties (e.g. particulate fly ash and carbon) are separated by moving the particles forwards along a horizontal electrode plate (1) above which is mounted a second electrode (2) having two plates (4) each extending sideways from a central block (3) of dielectric material at an acute angle (a) to the horizontal. An alternating electric field is generated between the electrodes (1, 2) by a high voltage AC power source (14). The field lines (16) from each plate curve to the side and impart centrifugal forces to particles charged by friction or conductive induction, which forces separate lighter, more highly charged particles from the others.

Patent GB-8507711-D0 (GB)
Title: Fusion joining of thermoplastic pipes
IPC: F15B21/02
Filed: 1985-03-25
Abstract: The apparatus increases the hydraulic pressure in rams 16 until one pipe moves towards a heater plate 14. The movement is detected by a limit switch 26 and a microprocessor-based control system 28 adds a pre-programmed value of pressure to that pressure which caused the movement (drag pressure). The total pressure is applied to force the pipe ends against a heater plate 14 to form end beads (bead-up). After heating for a pre-programmed period the control system automatically initiates plate retraction and forces the pipe ends together (fusion) for another programmed period. The applied pressure is the sum of the recorded drag pressure and a pre-programmed added pressure. Operator judgement of bead size, pressures and time periods is eliminated. Pressurised fluid is supplied to the rams 16 from a pump and accumulator combination. The sense of ram motion is determined by changeover valves controlled by the control system 28.

Title: Cyclonic vacuum cleaner
IPC: B04C5/12
Filed: 1999-10-20
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner comprises a cylconic separation unit with a dirty air inlet and a cleaned air outlet at a first end and a dirt collection portion at a second end. The separation unit is supported on the cleaner such that the inlet is located in a lower portion of the first end and such that, in normal use, the longitudinal axis of the chamber lies in, or can be brought to lie in, a substantially horizontal position.
