Patent GB-0616337-D0 (GB)
Title: Impact resisting post
Filed: 2006-08-17
Abstract: An impact resisting post (10), comprising a first resilient portion (14) and a second resilient portion (18) spaced transversely from said first resilient portion. A connection portion (16) interconnects said first and second portions. An intermediate portion (20) extends from said second resilient portion into said space between said first and second resilient portions wherein said resilient and intermediate portions are configured to resiliently respond to an impact, such that when said impact exerts a force on said second resilient portion towards said first resilient portion, said second portion moves resiliently towards said first portion under the influence of said force, until said intermediate portion contacts said first resilient portion thereby to restrict further resilient movement of said second portion relative to said first resilient portion. The intermediate portion has shape and dimension configured to inhibit permanent deformation of said second resilient portion and/or connection portion after said contact occurs.
Patent GB-0712553-D0 (GB)
Title: Composite panel stiffener
Filed: 2007-06-29
Abstract: A method of making a design model for a composite stringer (2; 512) is disclosed. The stringer (2; 512) modelled has a foot (6) and a web (8). First data (506) defines the desired geometry of the foot of the stringer model, the separation of the foot from a datum plane (528) varying along the length of the stringer. A computer (502) generates second data (514) defining the geometry of the web of the stringer model by generating local changes in the geometry of the web at regions where it is determined from the first data (506) that the separation of the foot from the datum plane (528) changes. The local changes in the shape of the web are generated to reduce the risk of defects being created when fabricating a stringer made from layered composite material according to the stringer model. Undesirable creasing, stressing or stretching of composite material layers in a region in which the geometry of the stringer varies may thus be reduced.

Date Oct. 19, 1989.A valve of the kind for controlling the flow of fluid from at least two alternative supplies in such a manner that reduction or cessation of one supply automatically causes the valve to switch to another of the alternative supplies comprises a cylinder having a piston slidable therein in a region between a first fluid inlet and a second fluid inlet. The piston has working surfaces of differential area such that equal pressure on both sides of the piston biases the piston to one end of the cylinder. The valve has a fluid outlet with a first fluid flow path from the first fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, and a second fluid flow path from the second fluid inlet to the fluid outlet and including an axial outlet bore. The second fluid flow path is closable by the piston and is opened up on axial movement of the piston towards the first fluid inlet which is caused when the supply of fluid from the first fluid inlet fails, is arrested or falls below a predetermined limit. The first fluid flow path of the valve is permanently open thus rendering the valve fail safe. The axial outlet bore of the second fluid flow path is formed through the piston and is closable by a seal in the cylinder against which an end of the piston is adapted to abut thus ensuring a compact valve construction.

Title: Screening appratus
IPC: E02B8/02
Filed: 1993-03-01
Abstract: Sewage flows along a channel (2) in the direction from right to left and through an endless screening belt (4) located with its lower region in the sewage stream. The belt (4) consists of pivotally connected perforated screening elements (12) each consisting of a shorter part (14) and a longer part (16) connected at an acute angle to one another. The belt (4) travels anti-clockwise causing solid particles larger than the perforations to be carried upwardly on the shorter parts (14). When each screening element (12) reaches the upper region of the belt (4) the solids drop into a screw conveyor (30) which conveys them to a desired location. A rotary brush (24) and a liquid spray assist the removal of solids from the belt. Any solids which fall clear of the screw conveyor (30) fall back into the channel (2) upstream of the inlet region of the belt (4). This arrangement reduces the risk of solid sewage entering and polluting the cleansed liquid sewage effluent downstream of the conveyor belt (4). <IMAGE>
