Patent GB-2509108-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for flow measurement
Inventor: FLOWERS STEPHEN
IPC: G01F1/34
Filed: 2012-12-20
Abstract: A flow meter 110 adapted for calculating the flow rate of an injection fluid flowing through a subsea pipe into a well head on the sea floor, uses a flow parameter and a measurement of differential pressure in a specified flow model to determine the rate of fluid flow through the pipe; and, sends the determined rate of fluid flow from the subsea flow meter, via a communications interface, to a remote device. The parameter is determined based on a polynomial function of hydrostatic pressure and/or temperature of the fluid in the pipe, and the polynomial model comprises a plurality of coefficients. The processor of the flow meter is configured to receive a coefficient via the communications interface from a remote device, and to update the polynomial model to include the received coefficient.

Title: Instant electric water heater
Inventor: HOU QUANDUO
IPC: F24H1/10
Filed: 2013-05-23
Abstract: The instantaneous water heater comprises a water flow pipe; a first switch 11; a second switch 12; and a control dial operable to be rotated in order to selectively contact the first and second switches. When the control dial contacts the first switch a flow control valve such as a solenoid valve (2, figure 7) opens to permit passage of water through the water flow pipe. When the control dial contacts the second switch an electrical heating element (31, figure 2) heats water flowing through the water flow pipe. A delay control unit (6,7,7, figures 5-7) is arranged to prevent closure of the flow control valve upon contact between the first switch and the control dial being broken to ensure that residual heat in the heating element is dissipated. Ideally, the instantaneous heater includes a second electrical heating element activated when the control dial contacts a third switch 13. The switches are preferably micro-switches activated by respective first 161, second 162 and third 163 triggers located on a spindle 15 of the control dial.

Title: Knitting loom and a method of knitting
Inventor: RUSSELL WARREN
IPC: D04B3/00
Filed: 2013-07-19
Abstract: A knitting loom 100 includes a base structure 110 with pin receiving openings (120, Figure 2) for receiving knitting pegs 130. Each opening has a through hole that allows access to a bottom portion of a knitting peg allowing a user to eject a pin from the hole. The pin may be ejected using a tool such as crochet needle or yarn hook. Each knitting peg may be adapted to hinder its removal from the pin receiving opening and base structure via a detent provided adjacent its bottom portion. A slot which connects at least two adjacent openings can be provided in the bottom of the base, which assists in removal of a peg, such as a broken peg, from within an opening and allows the loom to be reusable. Conveniently, the detent may snap fit into the slot. The detent may prevent removal of a peg without snapping it. The pins may be tapered to prevent their passage through the openings. The loom may comprise two parts 116, 118 which may be detachably connected together with removable fastener 160 and a hinge126, to aid removal of the knitted item from the loom. The loom may be used for one or more of the slipped stitch, selvedge, flat panel and double knitting methods.

Title: Active control fuel nozzle system
Inventor: CHEN WEI
IPC: F23R3/28
Filed: 2013-12-10
Abstract: It is desirable for a gas turbine system (100 Fig 1) to operate in a wide range of operating conditions, however, under certain conditions there exist dynamic boundaries that limit a combustor from reaching its designated condition. A perturbation device 310 formed of electromagnetic plates 410, 420, can be incorporated into at least one fuel nozzles 220 of the combustor 130 to influence the dynamics so that the range of operating conditions can be widened. The perturbation device vibrates according to the perturbation signals provided from a dynamics controller 570, and the vibration characteristics of the perturbation devices can be controlled by controlling the attributes of the perturbation signals. The vibrations influence the dynamics of fluid flowing past the perturbation device within the fuel nozzles, and the fluid can be fuel, oxidant, or both. Inputs to the dynamic controller can be derived from pressure sensors 510.
