Patent GB-0203950-D0 (GB)
Title: Method and system for balancing thrust demands
IPC: G05D1/08
Filed: 2002-02-20
Abstract: In the control of spacecraft, thrusters must generate a commanded force or torque that is computed from the control algorithms in order to maintain a certain attitude or orbit. In general, there is an infinite number of solutions as to how the thrusters are fired in order to achieve the commanded value. However, additional imposed constraints on the mass flow allow only a small subset of those solutions to be feasible. By way of example, two constraints are considered in this invention: first, the mass flow of each thruster must exceed a minimum value and second, the total mass flow of all thrusters for any generated force/torque must be constant. If only a non-feasible solution is found, known methods turn it into a feasible one by reducing the commanded force/torque until the constraints are met. Reducing the commanded force/torque is, however, a disadvantage because the performance may decrease and even lead to instability of the closed loop system. This invention concerns a simple and time efficient method/system for improving an unfeasible solution in such a way that reducing the commanded force/torque can be minimised or even completely be avoided and, therefore, higher feasible generated forces/torques than those with known methods can be generated.

Title: Lock arrangement for cartons
IPC: B65D71/00
Filed: 1987-01-13
Abstract: This relates to a lock arrangement particularly adapted for use in locking together closure panels of paper board cartons and the like. The lock arrangement utilizes a conventional basic type of lock including a primary locking tab and a secondary locking tab. The primary locking tab engages in a cutout having as part of its boundary a straight line primary locking shoulder. The new feature of the lock arrangement is an arrangement for receiving the secondary locking tab. This arrangement is in the form of a cut line which will define an opening through the associated closure panel and also define a secondary locking ear for engagement beyond a prong on the secondary locking tab. The closure panel in which the cutout and the cut line are formed is provided adjacent the cut line either with an opening or a hinged locking flap with there being between the cutout and either the opening or the locking flap a narrow strap. When a nose of the secondary locking tab engages the panel between the narrow strap and the cut line, the panel is locally bowed through a twisting of the narrow strap facilitating the opening of the panel along the cut line so as to automatically receive the nose of the secondary locking tab.
Patent GB-8708986-D0 (GB)
Title: Article
IPC: B29C61/00
Filed: 1987-04-14
Abstract: An article including at least one segment which is capable of being elastically shirred along at least a portion of its length subsequent to manufacture of the article, preferably by mechanical manipulation of a predetermined portion of the elastically shirrable segment. The predetermined mechanically manipulatable portion of the elastically shirrable segment preferably comprises an elastomeric member (20) which is maintained in a prestretched and tensioned condition in the desired direction of shirring. The opposed ends of the elastically shirrable segment in the article are interconnected to one another through the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member. The prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member is also secured in fixed relation to at least one rigidifying member (15,16) to form a composite structure (10) which is strong enough to resist collapse in a direction parallel to the tensile forces acting upon the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member prior to mechanical manipulation of the composite structure. The article is elastically shirred by mechanically manipulating the predetermined portion of the shirrable segment until movement of the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member relative to the rigidifying member is effected. To elasticize the article containing the elastically shirrable segment, the relative movement between the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member and the rigidifying member must be sufficient to release the tensile forces in the mechanically manipulated portion of the composite structure. This relative movement produces a degree of elastic shirring in the segment, and consequently in the article to which it is attached, in the direction of prestretching of the elastomeric member. The degree of segment shirring is proportional to the extent to which there is relative movement between the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member and the rigidifying member in the area comprising the composite structure. Thus, the tension in the elastically shirrable segment can be increased by the user, as desired, by mechanically manipulating more of the composite structure. Elastically shirrable segments of the present invention are particularly well suited to high speed article manufacturing operations, since the segments can be applied to the articles in a substantially untensioned condition and their tension released subsequent to article manufacture.

Title: Effluent treatment process
IPC: C02F11/04
Filed: 1993-02-01
Abstract: A process for treating effluent such as untreated biological effluent includes a primary clarifier (1) where sludge solids are settled out from a liquid sludge fraction. The sludge solids pass to a digester (2) where the sludge solids undergo anaerobic digestion to produce digested sludge and biogas. The digested sludge is dewatered and the liquid sludge fraction and the liquid component of the dewatered digested sludge is passed to an activated sludge tank (6). The resulting activated sludge solids are then concentrated by settlement, dewatered, and flocculated under alkaline and acidic conditions. The resultant acidic activated sludge solids are neutralized before and passed to a mixing and drying apparatus (5) where the solids are mixed with the digested sludge and dried using the bio-gas as a fuel. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-9422783-D0 (GB)
Title: Bonding
IPC: B29C65/54
Filed: 1994-11-11
Abstract: A method of solvent bonding surfaces together may be employed to secure cap (10) in tube (1). The method involves providing a channel (17) in a first surface (13) and an aperture (5) in a second surface (3). The cap (10) and tube (1) are brought together in such a way that the cap (10) is a snug fit in the tube (1). The close fitting opposed surfaces (3, 13) define an interface or a capillary gap between them for receipt of solvent. Solvent is injected into aperture (5) and thus into channel (17) and to extend beyond the width of the channel (17) by capillary action. When dried, the solvent provides an effective seal at this interface. The method allows for surfaces of components to be arranged in the desired mating relationship prior to application of the solvent. An example method is used to construct a cartridge for a toner composition to be used in a photocopier machine. Both components are made of compatible plastics to facilitate recycling. <IMAGE>

Title: Time delay determination
IPC: G01S7/292
Filed: 1998-12-24
Abstract: The delay between a first signal and a second signal is evaluated by deriving from the first signal substantially aperiodic events, possibly by using a zero-crossing detector on a random signal, and using these events to define respective segments of the second signal. The segments are combined, e.g., by averaging, to derive a waveform which includes a feature representing coincidences of parts of the second signal associated with the derived events. The delay is determined from the position within the waveform of this feature.
