Title: Apparatus for inhibiting the propagation of a flame front
IPC: F04D27/02
Filed: 2005-03-07
Abstract: Apparatus is described for inhibiting the propagation of a flame front ignited by a pumping mechanism drawing a waste stream from a process chamber. A combustion chamber comprises an inlet for receiving the waste stream exhaust from the pumping mechanism and means for generating a flame for burning a flammable component of the waste stream. A pressure detector detects a pressure at a location through which the waste stream is drawn by the pumping mechanism, and a flame detector detects the presence of a flame in th combustion chamber. A controller regulates the delivery of at least one process fluid to the process chamber if the detected pressure is greater than a pressure above which the flame front can be sustained by the waste stream, or if there is no flame present in the combustion chamber.

Title: A stormwater gully
Filed: 2008-05-09
Abstract: A stormwater gully comprises a chamber in which an outlet assembly is installed. The outlet assembly comprises filter units connected to an outlet housing. In use, stormwater can flow from the chamber in an upwards direction through filter units into the outlet housing. The outlet housing has an outlet, which extends from the gully. At high rates of flow, the water level in the chamber will rise until water can flow into the outlet housing through bypass inlets. The bypass inlets are connected to the interior of the housing by siphons defined by arched regions of a top cover. The siphons allow rapid discharge of water until the water level returns below the level of the bypass inlets. A slow drain down feature is provided which enables the chamber and outlet assembly to be drained below the level of the primary inlet.

Title: Locating towed marine object
IPC: G01S15/74
Filed: 1983-09-14
Abstract: A system and method for determining the position of towed marine object relative to a towing vessel. The system comprises a towing vessel, a slave vessel, and the towed object. An acoustic transceiver is located on either the towing vessel or the slave vessel with an acoustic receiver located on the other vessel. One or more acoustic transponders are associated with the towed object. The distance between the towing vessel and the slave vessel is determined, for example, by radio navigation which is calibrated by a high precision range-range system. The acoustic transmitter emits an interrogation signal which causes the transducer(s) to emit a response acoustic signal which is recorded at the two receivers. Using the time for the response signal to reach each of the receivers and the velocity of sound in water, the distance of the transducer from each vessel is calculated. With the three distances the location of the transducer relative to the towing vessel is determined by trilateration. The system is especially useful for determining the horizontal profile of a towed seismic cable, where a series of transducers are located along the cable. The interrogation signal will interrogate each transducer sequentially and by trilateration of each transducer a very accurate representation of the horizontal profile is obtained.

Abstract: A system for generating instructions down-loadable onto an applications platform, such as a speech applications platform. Instructions are defined by a plurality of parameter dependent operations, identified as blocks, which are linked together to specify an applications topology. Before parameters are entered, the validity of the skeleton of linked blocks is validated. Parameters are then added after a skeleton has passed a validity test. After parameters have been entered, so as to define the complete system, simulation is performed, including speech simulation. Simulation may be performed on a development platform or on a speech applications platform. A block may define a call to an external routine. The originally defined system is automatically converted into down-loadable instructions. The down-loadable instructions also include the call to the external routine, so that said routine may be called during on-line operation. Alternatively, stub blocks are included that allow C code to be embedded within down-loadable code.

Title: Syringe pumps
IPC: A61M5/145
Filed: 1999-07-03
Abstract: Syringe pump has plunger head retainer (10) with two retainer arms (111 and 112) mounted on shafts (113 and 114) extending parallel to the syringe axis. Each shaft carries gear (121 and 122), which is engaged by common gear wheel (142) mounted on threaded shaft (146). After the syringe (3) has been loaded in the pump, the plunger head retainer (10) is driven forwards until a pad (107) coupled with a force sensor (108) detects contact with the head (36). This causes the retainer arms to be swung in across the forward side of the plunger head (36) and to be pulled rearwardly against the plunger head. The pump then reduces the force applied by the retainer arms to ensure that the force sensor (108) can respond to force on the plunger (35) during expulsion of liquid from the syringe.  <IMAGE>
