Title: Shut-off valve for oscillating water column turbines
Inventor: HALL RUSSELL
IPC: F03B15/00
Filed: 2014-05-27
Abstract: Fixed guide vanes do not permit isolation of a turbine rotor of an oscillating water column from incoming pneumatic power. As a result, the turbine cannot be stopped during periods of excessive input power, for example, during storms. Thus, a shut-off valve for a turbine of an oscillating water column may include a plurality of guide vanes configured to control a fluid flow into a flow passage defined by the turbine. The plurality of guide vanes may be at least partially disposed within the flow passage and may include a plurality of fixed guide vanes and a plurality of movable guide vanes. The plurality of fixed guide vanes and the plurality of movable guide vanes may be sequentially disposed in an alternating pattern in the flow passage.

Title: Multi-channel fluorometric sensor and method of using same
Inventor: TOKHTUEV EUGENE
IPC: G01N1/10
Filed: 2014-09-26
Abstract: An optical sensor may include multiple optical emitters configured to emit light into a fluid sample via an optical pathway. Light from the emitters can cause fluorescence from the sample and/or scatter off of the sample. Scattered and fluoresced light can be received by an optical detector in the sensor via the optical pathway, and used to determine at least one characteristic of the fluid sample. A second optical detector can provide reference measurements of the amount of light emitted to the sample. In one example, the optical detector can detect scattered and fluoresced light simultaneously. In another example, light is emitted and detected alternatingly. The sensor can be part of a system that includes one or more controllers configured to control the emitting and detecting of light to and from the fluid sample. The controller can use detected light to determine at least one characteristic of the fluid sample.

Title: Humanoid robot with an autonomous life capability
Inventor: MAISONNIER BRUNO
IPC: B25J11/00
Filed: 2015-04-17
Abstract: There is a need for a humanoid robot capable of living an “autonomous life”, as a human being does, who is capable of behaving in a determined manner, depending on the environment he is evolving in. Described is a solution that aims to overcome the limitations of known robots by providing a robot that is capable of determining autonomously sequences of its life adapted to the context it is evolving in, without any intervention of a programmer. A humanoid robot and a method for controlling a humanoid robot are described where the humanoid robot has at least a memory connected to a processing capability for retrieving and storing activities for execution by the robot, an activity composed of a pair of a pre-programmed behavior of the robot and a manifest file with launch conditions of said behavior. Extractors of image, sound, touch and inertial signals are characterized by one or more of a situation, an event and an interaction with a human being in a scene surrounding the robot. The humanoid robot also has actuators of one or more action of a light signal, displayed information, a sound, a speech, a movement, said one or more action belonging to a behavior. The humanoid robot further has a mind module for automatically creating a prioritized list of activities, selecting at least one activity in the prioritized list and commanding execution of said activity to one or more actuators.
Patent NZ-731442-A (NZ)
Title: A fitting, a method for connecting corrugated tubing to a fitting and use of a fitting
Inventor: TREICHEL STEVEN A
IPC: F16L25/00
Filed: 2015-10-21
Abstract: Flexible Gas Piping (FGP) system, also referred to as Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST) and formerly Interior Gas Piping (IGP), requires that the corrugated tubing can be easily and safely connected to gas devices such as gas meters, gas consuming devices, gas supplying devices and other. Thus, it is known to provide the corrugated tube with a threaded fitting to form a metal-to-metal flange seal between the corrugated tube and the fitting by compressing a part of the end of the corrugated tube between a flat radial extending sealing surface of a nut and a corresponding flat radial extending sealing surface of a body. Both these sealing surfaces are configured to extend perpendicular from a center axis through the fitting. However, this fitting design entails that much force is required to ensure a tight seal. Disclosed is a fitting (1) for use with corrugated tubing (2) having a series of peaks (3) and valleys (4). The fitting (1) comprises a nut (5) having a passage (6) therethrough for receiving the tubing (2) and at least one retainer (7) arranged in the nut (5), wherein the retainer (7) has a retainer sealing surface (8) for placement in a valley (4) of the corrugated tubing (2). The fitting (1) further comprises a body (9) having a pointy annular body sealing edge (10) arranged so that the apex (11) of the body sealing edge (10) is pressed against the retainer sealing surface (8) when the nut (5) and the body (9) are forced toward each other. The retainer (7) is substantially symmetrical around a plane through the middle of said retainer, said plane being perpendicular to a longitudinal center of axis (14) of the fitting. The pointy annular body sealing edge (10) is arranged to form a linear seal at an end of the corrugated tubing (2) and is formed along the edge of two abutting body surfaces (12). One of said two abutting body surfaces is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal center axis (14) of the fitting, wherein both surfaces have a mutual angle (MA) of between 10° and 170°. By forming one of the body surfaces substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal extend of the fitting (and the tube) the retainer sealing surface can be formed sloping — in relation to said longitudinal center axis — which enables that the end of the tube can be pushed forwards while forming the seal. This will enable a smoother deformation and compression of the corrugated tube requiring less force when compared with known fittings to form the seal.

Title: Raschel machine, net, and use of the raschel machine to produce a net
Inventor: KARATZIS ANTONIOS
IPC: D04B27/24
Filed: 2016-10-13
Abstract: Nets are commonly used as a material for non-airtight packing of loose goods as e.g. hay, straw, vegetables, raw cotton or other plant parts. Nets can be produced by, e.g., Raschel machines. Such Raschel machines are for example manufactured by Textilmaschinenfabrik Karl Mayer GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany. A Raschel machine (100) comprises a plurality of first guide needles (110) arranged along a first direction for guiding warp threads (210), a plurality of second guide needles (150) arranged along the first direction for guiding weft threads (220) and a plurality of needles (180) arranged along the first direction and configured to move to create interlocked loops formed by warp threads, whereby the interlock loops are created. The first guide needles (110) are held by a first needle bar (120), the second guide needles (150) are held by a second needle bar (160), and the second needle bar (160) is configured to be moved back and forth between two respective neighbouring first guide needles (110). The space between neighbouring first guide needles (110) is greater than 25.4 m (1 inch). By using the Raschel machine according to the invention, a net with a greater space of neighbouring warp threads can be produced. Accordingly, the number of warp threads is reduced with constant width.
