Title: Aircraft vacuum toilet unblocking tool
Inventor: JONES GLYNNE LEWIS
IPC: E03D9/00
Filed: 2013-09-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a tool for unblocking aircraft vacuum toilet pipes. The tool has an attachment means in the form of a rubber bung 2 to secure the tool to the pipe which is blocked. By rotating a wingnut 4 the rubber bung 2 is forced to compress which therefore expands radially in the aircraft pipe 13C. The bung 2 in the pipe13C is then securely fixed to the pipe walls, which also seals the pipe 13C at the inserted tool end. This enables compressed air/nitrogen from the bottle rig (17figure 6) to flow through the coupling 5 and also through pipe bung retainer 1 into the pipe to clear the blockage. The tool also comprises a safety valve 8 to limit the air/nitrogen pressure through the tool.

Title: Lowering buoyant structures in water
Inventor: STÉPHANE BOMBINO
IPC: F16L1/16
Filed: 2015-02-18
Abstract: A method of lowering a structure 10, e.g. a pipe, through water and installing that structure 10 at a subsea location comprises the structure 10 carrying a denser than water ballast material 26, such as sea salt, which can be dry or wet in its ballasting state. Upon being lowered with the aid of the ballast material 26, the structure 10 is anchored at the subsea location. Water is then introduced to dissolve, suspend or dilute the ballast material 26 and it is evacuated or dispersed from the structure 10 in a liquid or fluidised form. For example, a solution or suspension of the ballast material 26 may be entrained in a flushing flow of water through and from the internal space of a pipe or other hollow structure. The internal space is then available to perform another, primary function in subsea operation of the structure, for example as a flowline to convey oil or gas. The flushing flow of water may be controlled and driven via valves 30 and pumps 32. A sensor can be used to determine the composition of fluid emanating from the structure 10.

IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2015-12-07
Abstract: An image capture apparatus [Fig. 1B, 200] comprising; a first display for displaying a captured image [Fig. 5]; means for detecting a user designated position 506 on the first display screen; a means for transmitting the photograph to an external apparatus [Fig. 1B, 300] (e.g. smartphone, or tablet) which is configured to display the captured image on a second display screen [Fig. 8], and detect a user designated position 804 on the second display screen; means to obtain position information of the user designated position. The camera further comprises means for selecting a partial region of the picture, in the following cases; the detection means determines the position information of the user selected area 506, which falls within a first region 505, of the photo on the first display [Fig. 5]; the external device determines the position information of the chosen point 804, which falls within a second region 801 of the second display [Fig. 8], where the second region is different to the first region. The crux of the invention is that when a user selects a partial image region on the camera display, this is performed differently from when it is selected by the associated device.

Title: Eco- throttled 2-stage compression and expansion wankel rotary and piston engines & turbo boosting thereof
Inventor: PETER JOHN BAYRAM
IPC: F02B37/00
Filed: 2015-12-18
Abstract: An internal combustion engine (ICE) 6 having at least one exhaust powered supercharger, the supercharger comprising at least one adiabatic compression-expansion engine (CE) 4 in the intake stream, at least one adiabatic compression-expansion engine (CE) 2 in the exhaust stream, and first and second variable speed motor-generators (MGs) 1, 5. The CEs 2, 4 and first MG 1 share a common shaft 3, and first and second MGs 1, 5 are electrically connected. Expansion of exhaust gas causes the exhaust CE 2 to rotate the shaft 3, which causes the intake CE 4 to compress, i.e. supercharge, the intake air. MG 1 acts as a generator when the ICE is being throttled, by generating electricity which is stored in a battery (not shown). When acceleration is demanded, the speed of MG 1 is reduced which causes MG 2 to output power to the ICE. When heavy acceleration is demanded, the nominal speed of MG2 is reduced to less than that of the ICE which causes MG 2 to output power, via MG 1, to accelerate the turbocharger shaft therefore increasing supercharging. The CEs 2, 4 may be cylinders (2, 4, figure 1) or Wankel rotary engines.
