Title: Improvements relating to aircraft
IPC: B64C39/06
Filed: 2000-06-10
Abstract: A ring-wing aircraft suited particularly, although not exclusively, to use in micro-unmanned air vehicles (UAV's) with ring-wings. An aircraft (10) according to the invention comprises a ring-wing (11) defining a duct (16) with a longitudinally-extending central axis (31), propulsion element (15) located within the duct and moveable aerofoils (13, 18) for controlling the aircraft in flight, the ring-wing being truncated obliquely at one end, that end being the rear (11b) when in horizontal flight, to form a ring-wing with opposed sides of unequal length. This arrangement produces center of mass offset from the central axis of the ring-wing, the pendulum effect will ensure that the aircraft will roll so that its center of mass will always be at the lowest height possible when the aircraft is airborne. Therefore the aircraft has a preferred orientation, and the control surfaces can be oriented with respect to this preferred orientation. In addition, the oblique truncation at the rear keeps the center of mass towards the front of the aircraft thereby giving improved stability in all three axes.

Patent GB-8304402-D0 (GB)
Title: Vehicle spring suspension arrangement
IPC: B60G11/10
Filed: 1983-02-17
Abstract: A vehicle such as a 6x2 tractor having at least three axles is provided with a novel leaf spring suspension (1) for its middle axle. When the load, imposed on the chassis by a semi-trailer, exceeds a predetermined threshold, the free, rear, end of the leaf spring (1) engages the under-surface of the upper portion of a slipper bracket (4) attached to the chassis, and the middle axle takes a proportion of the load. With loads below the threshold, the free end drops through a vertical "air gap" and is held by a lower supporting arm on the slipper bracket, the middle axle being unloaded. The rear, driving, axle is thus more heavily loaded whenever the vehicle is part-laden, ensuring greater traction.

Title: Method and contact lenses for treating presbyobia
IPC: G02C7/04
Filed: 1990-04-17
Abstract: A method of correcting or alleviating presbyopia in humans comprising (a) fitting a first contact lens to a first eye, and (b) fitting a second contact lens to the other eye. Each of the lenses has a first power provided by the shape, curvature and material of the lens to provide a refractive corrected image and a second power provided by diffractive means to provide a second corrected image, the second power being additive to (or subtracted from) the first power. The lenses are fitted so that one has a refractive near image optical power and the other has a refractive distance image optical power, and the diffractive means of the lenses are arranged so that the amount of the light directed into the near image by one lens is substantially greater than that directed into the far image by that lens, and the amount of light directed into the far image by the other lens is substantially greater than that directed into the near image by that other lens. In this way the wearer sees an image of relatively high intensity and retains a large amount of stereoscopic vision. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-9610829-D0 (GB)
Title: Screening of agents for treatment of azlheimers disease
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1996-05-23
Abstract: A method of screening an agent for potential use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, comprises reacting, in the presence of the agent, tau protein with a suitable sulphated carbohydrate under appropriate conditions to form filaments, and monitoring for the presence of filaments. Tau protein and sulphated carbohydrate, e.g. sulphated glycosaminoglycan, will react under appropriate conditions to form filaments, either paired helical filaments or straight filaments. If filament formation is affected when the reaction is carried out in the presence of an agent being screened, this is possibly due to an interfering, inhibiting or blocking effect of the agent. An agent which inhibits assembly of PHFs in vitro may also have an inhibiting effect in vivo and thus have potential therapeutic value in delaying the dementing effects of Alzheimer's disease. The invention can thus provide a screen to identify agents worthy of further investigation for use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
