Patent GB-0511309-D0 (GB)
Title: End caps for structural members
IPC: E04B1/08
Filed: 2005-06-03
Abstract: The invention provides a method of constructing a multi-storey building from modular panel components. Each panel component comprises a framework of cold-formed C-profile structural steel members including vertical members, horizontal members and optional diagonal cross-brace members. The vertical members include some load-bearing structural uprights of the finished building, each of which is provided with an end cap on each of its top and bottom ends, connected to the corresponding load-bearing structural upright by welding or by brazing. Each end cap comprises a back plate portion secured across the open side of the C-profile of the associated structural upright, to side plate portions secured to opposite sides of the associated structural upright and an end plate portion which lies across the otherwise open end of the associated structural upright. The end plate portion is in continuous metal-to-metal contact with the associated load-bearing structural upright, so that in the finished building the end caps at the top ends of the load-bearing structural uprights of one storey are in contact, either directly or via one or more metal shim plates, with the interior faces of a C-profile horizontal structural member spanning two or more structural uprights or with the end caps at the bottom ends of the load-bearing structural uprights to the next higher storey. This construction, relying as it does on continuous metal-to-metal contact, enables the building of higher structures than would otherwise be possible using cold-formed C-profile structural steel members.

Patent GB-0810960-D0 (GB)
Title: Supercharger air hybrid vehicle
Filed: 2008-06-16
Abstract: An air hybrid vehicle is described powered by an internal combustion engine (16) which may or may not be equipped with a supercharger or turbocharger (10) for boosting the engine (16). In the invention, power is taken from the vehicle to drive the engine (16) during deceleration or coasting of the vehicle. The engine (16) absorbs kinetic energy from the vehicle and uses that energy to produce boost air which is transferred and stored in a boost air storage tank (34) on board the vehicle at a storage pressure not exceeding 3 bar absolute pressure. The vehicle achieves fuel saving and high performance by boost substitution when this boost air is used to supply the engine (16) for short periods during acceleration or cruising of the vehicle without relying on any air charger, temporarily fulfilling the role of an air charger without actually driving an air charger by substituting the boost normally supplied by an air charger with an equivalent boost produced and stored during regenerative braking. To accommodate a large boost air storage tank (34), the body of the vehicle is adapted with air-tight volumes linked together to form one large storage volume.
Patent GB-0821570-D0 (GB)
Title: Interleaving or de-interleaving of data of variable rate
Filed: 2008-11-25
Abstract: An apparatus for interleaving or de-interleaving a stream of data has a memory with M serially-numbered logical memory locations. The read-address generator and write-address generator are each configured to address memory locations as a function of an increment value which itself is a function of an increment value used for a previous block of data multiplied by a dimension used for interleaving or de-interleaving the previous block. The dimension is the number of columns of data to be interleaved or de-interleaved where the number of columns is an integer factor of the number of memory locations. The use of such an increment value ensures that data elements can be read in turn from a de-interleaver for a previous block while elements from the present block are written to locations that have been used. The apparatus may be used to improve the effectiveness of forward error correction in dealing with burst errors in systems such as DVB-T2.

Title: Food product containing eggs
IPC: A23L15/00
Filed: 1986-06-17
Abstract: An omelette mix is prepared from a liquid egg product, which may be, for example, whole egg, egg white, egg yolk, a de-chloresterized or artificial mix, or any combination of two or more of the foregoing, by adjusting its pH, preferably with citric acid, then adding to it a hydrocolloid, comprising an alginate, adding a multivalent metal salt of only low solubility in water, e.g. calcium sulphate dihydrate, in order to facilitate any required cross-linking of the hydrocolloid molecular chains, mixing thoroughly to form a homogeneous material, forming this material into any desired shape and freezing or chilling it to produce a stable intermediate material that can readily be quickly heated to give an omelette in form ready for consumption. In general sodium chloride will be introduced into the mix, conveniently with the hydrocolloid, in order to enhance the flavour of the omelette. A sequestrant is desirably added to control the release of the multivalent metal salt and thus regulate the speed of the cross-linking reaction.

Date Jan. 9, 1997Vertical surface protection in a security installation is achieved by detecting disturbances in a microwave beam sent from a transmitter to a receiver, both installed substantially above the ground and adjacent to the vertical surface. The transmitter and receiver have associated beam aerials of extended horizontal aperture of not less than 0.50 meters (20 inches) to mitigate the effects of surface reflection from metal scaffold, plastic sheeting or netting, wooden boarding and brick or stone facing. The aerials are preferably slotted waveguide arrays and the advantages of using circular polarization are shown. Circularly-polarized slotted waveguide arrays are disclosed having a center feed to minimize frequency-dependent beam-spreading. The sensor may be used with an intruder detector to protect buildings in scaffold by utilizing triple technology exterior detection incorporating: microwave Doppler shift; at least one and preferably two passive infra-red devices linked together through timers and lens with horizontal curtain pattern; and anti-sabotage reflected active infra-red. The system can combine the aforementioned technologies into a new device and this format overcomes the individual limitations of each of the prior art technologies when used in unison in an external scaffold environment.
