Title: Single mode waveguide with an adiabatic bend
Inventor: ANDREA TRITA
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 2017-05-25
Abstract: A single mode waveguide with a straight portion (215,240) and a curved portion (210), the curved portion (210) having the shape of an adiabatic bend. The single mode waveguide has a curved portion that is shaped according to an adiabatic bend, with a curvature that varies continuously, and that vanishes at a point (220) at which the curved portion is contiguous with a straight portion of the waveguide. The absence of curvature discontinuities avoids the coupling, within the waveguide, of optical power from a fundamental mode (225) into a higher order mode (230) and the curvature of the curved portion results in attenuation of optical power, in higher order modes, that may be coupled into the waveguide at either end.

Title: Container facilitating measuring dimensions
Inventor: Ryder Magnus Iain Meggitt
IPC: B65D85/18
Filed: 2019-07-08
Abstract: A container (10) and a method facilitating measuring a member, for example measuring the perimeter of a user’s calf or ankle. The method comprises aligning and locating a first datum (24) of the container (10) against a second datum on the member followed by rolling the container’s perimeter relative to a section of the member to be measured. Measurement is complete when the container (10) has rolled from the first datum (24) along the minor surfaces until a point of the container (10) reaches an extremity of the member/dimension being measured; the extremity may be the second datum, where a circumference of a member is being measured. When rolling the perimeter of the container (10) is complete a point of the container face (12) will be aligned with a point representing the extremity of the dimension being measured or the second datum. Alignment of two points at the extremity of the measured member is indicative of the dimension of the member. The object might be a compression stocking, so that a customer can check it will fit their calf and ankle without opening the container.

Title: Magnetic filter for a central heating system
Inventor: SIMON DOWNIE
IPC: B01D35/06
Filed: 2017-08-10
Abstract: A magnetic filter 10’ for a central heating system comprises a separation chamber 12’ in which magnetic particles are captured in use, a magnet (16, figure 1), and a closure such as a fitment 14’ to open/close an open end of the chamber. The separation chamber is releasably connected to the closure by a screw thread connection, and a compressible seal such as an O-ring is provided between the closure and the chamber. A stop face, which may be any rigid surface on the closure or the chamber, limits compression of the seal, ideally so that damage of the seal by over-tightening is prevented. A removeable clip 28’ prevents rotation of the screw thread connection when the clip is fitted so that unintentional re-opening of the screw thread connection (e.g. by vibration) is avoided. Ideally the closure is secured to the chamber by a threaded ring 22’ having a flange that bears against a corresponding flange of the chamber, the threaded ring screwing onto an external thread of the closure. The clip ideally has a profile that is complementary to an outer surface of the threaded ring.

Title: Pressure sensor and pressure relief valve testing
Inventor: NIGEL ALLEN
IPC: G01L27/00
Filed: 2020-12-22
Abstract: A pressure sensor assembly 11 for remote testing of a pressure sensor 15 adapted to monitor the air pressure developed in an interior 21 of a container (1 in figure 1) such as a silo holding particulate material. An enclosed chamber 25 has a first opening 31 arranged to communicate with the interior of the container/silo and a second opening 33 arranged to communicate with the pressure sensor 15 for monitoring air pressure developed in the interior of the container/silo. The chamber 25 defines a channel for transmission of pressure between the first opening and the second opening and contains a constriction 55. An air injection system 45 is adapted to inject a test pulse of air 47 into the enclosed chamber between the constriction and the second opening (leading to the sensor) so that it creates a back pressure. The functional operability of the pressure sensor is verified based on the pressure measured in response to the test pulse of air. Also claimed is a pressure relief valve having a biasing means to close a valve plate over an aperture in a silo such that the valve plate opens when the pressure exceeds a threshold. A telescopic actuator may be used to release the valve plate to test that it is operable.
