Title: Landing on emergency or unprepared landing strip in low visibility condition
Inventor: EDWARD JAMES PARKER
IPC: G08G5/02
Filed: 2018-06-22
Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products that facilitate landing comprise a processor 106 that executes computer implemented components stored in a memory 104. A selection component 108 selects candidate spaces from a navigation database or sensed data for landing an aircraft. Machine vision data gathered by sensors such as LIDAR on the aircraft may be overlain over the data on the navigation database. A guidance component 110 guides landing the aircraft on a landing strip selected from among the candidate spaces in low visibility conditions. The guidance may be in the form of information provided to the flight crew or may involve the use of the autopilot. The landing strip may be a runway, an emergency landing strip, an unrepaired landing strip or an areas such as field, which may be ploughed. The landing strip may be selected manually by a pilot or operator or may be chosen automatically. The systems, computer-implemented methods are suitable for use on manned or unmanned aircraft and autonomous UAVs.

Title: A sprinkler system
Inventor: IAN GARDEN
IPC: A62C35/68
Filed: 2016-12-19
Abstract: A sprinkler system for salt water environments, comprising: a fluid inlet; a first and second nozzle branch each comprising a nozzle, and a fluid delivery line extending from the fluid inlet to the nozzle branches. A fluid delivery line filter is surprisingly provided outwith the fluid delivery line, on a further branch, to remove debris from the main delivery line extending to the nozzles. The fluid delivery line filter is provided in a housing, the internal diameter of the housing normally being larger than the internal diameter of the first and second nozzle branches, to facilitate the accumulation of debris. A fluid outlet is provided downstream of the fluid delivery line filter. The fluid outlet draws debris outwith the main delivery line and away from the nozzle branches, mitigating the possibility of nozzles being blocked. Fewer or less inline filters may be used in the main delivery line, thus mitigating problems associated with such inline filters blocking. Certain embodiments may be provided at the intake end, comprising a branch and filter system with an exit to atmosphere, also drawing debris away from downstream nozzle branches.
