Title: Building skin comprising overlapping flexible panels
Inventor: MCNEIL ROBERT TELFER
IPC: E04D5/14
Filed: 2009-04-29
Abstract: A polymer membrane building skin is assembled from prefabricated panel assemblies 101-108, resulting in an appearance similar to a traditional lead roof. Each panel comprises a flexible membrane having a weather surface and a rear surface, the membrane rear surface being bonded along at least one edge to a strip 140/142 relatively rigid material, such as polymer-coated steel. The panel has an un-bonded portion 254 which can be exposed temporarily to allow fixing onto a supporting structure, the un-bonded portion and fixing 170 being re-covered by the membrane in the finished assembly. Side edges of membrane panels overlap and may be welded. Sealing strips 324 are provided at the lower edges for welding to the panel below. Various fixings incorporating weldable membrane material are described for attaching accessories such as capping strips 812 and other accessories to the completed skin, for cosmetic or other purposes.
Patent GB-2467612-A (GB)
Title: Lid with protective cover
Inventor: HUSSEY DOUGLAS
IPC: A47G19/22
Filed: 2009-05-06
Abstract: The invention provides a method of manufacturing a lid (10) such as a coffee cup lid for a container for edible fluids such as tea, coffee, fruit juices and other drinks such as milk shakes including thin soup or gruel. The top (12) of lid (10) includes a drinking area (11) formed by an internal boundary wall (19) and by part of sidewall (16). Drinks opening 18 is located within a receptacle (23) formed within the drinking area (11). The manufacturing process may involve applying a spray of liquid antiseptic material into the receptacle (23) so that it covers the drinks opening (18). The antiseptic material has the capability of changing to form a protective layer or film covering the drinks opening (18). A spray of dried powder material may be used instead of a liquid spray. A further part of the production process involves forming gaps (20,21) in the stepped wall (15) which surrounds the circular periphery of lid (10) on either side of the drinks opening (18). During the application of the sprayed material onto the receptacle (23) the gaps (20, 21) are filled with the material so that an outer surface of the material is formed on sidewall (16). This exposed surface of the material can be prised upwardly to assist the removal of the protective cover by the person preparing to drink from the container. Part of the production process involves the use of retractable spray pipe (28) side support (29) and a vacuum holder (26) for the lid (10). The antiseptic property of the material effects cleaning of the drinks opening (18) and neutralizes any germs present thereon.

Title: Determination of data availability in memory and identification of data not needed for rendering
Inventor: PLOWMAN EDWARD CHARLES
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2009-06-04
Abstract: A determination is made as to whether data needed for processing is already available in memory, and if not, the required data is generated ready for use. Specifically, when a fragment reaches a texturing stage, it is determined whether the texture to be applied is a static or dynamic texture (Step 24). If it is determined that the required texels relate to a dynamic texture, then the system first tries to fetch those texels from a dynamic texture memory (Step 25). If it is found that the texels are not available in the dynamic texture memory, then the relevant texels are generated in an "on-demand" fashion (Step 27) and stored in the dynamic texture memory (Step 28), so that they can be applied to the fragment. Also disclosed is the identification of unnecessary dynamic graphics data not required for rendering a scene prior to the rendering.

The sensor unit includes power harvesting means to receive power from the energiser, eg by induction. The power is supplied to the energiser via a direct current on cable 97. The energiser has adjustable elevation due to a screw thread 93. The sensor senses temperature and/or pressure. A wide variety of additional sensors are disclosed. There may additionally be sensors on the energiser unit. Sensors on either unit may be connected by a wire harness 97. The sensor may be in: an open hole facing the formation; encased in cement; or inside an annulus between two casing tubulars.

Title: Improvements relating to inflatable structures
Inventor: NEEDHAM ERNEST FREDERICK
IPC: B60V1/00
Filed: 1962-03-15
Abstract: 1,021,372. Air-cushion vehicles; fenders. HOVERCRAFT DEVELOPMENT Ltd. March 14, 1963 [March 15, 1962], No. 10042/62. Headings B7K and B7S. [Also in Division F2] A vehicle 30 for travelling over a surface 38 is supported on at least one cushion 37 of pressurized gas contained for at least part of its periphery by a deformable structure 31 comprising an upper load-bearing surface on the lower part of the vehicle, a lower load-bearing surface 47 spaced therefrom and facing the surface 38, at least two flexible surfaces 45, 46 joining the load bearing surfaces and interconnected by cords 58 so that the distance between the surfaces 45, 46 varies to give a varied crosssection to the structure. Air is fed by a fan to a plenum-chamber 34 whence it passes through ducts 35 to the wall structure 31 and ducts 36 to a space 37 between the walls where it forms a cushion on which the vehicle rides. To improve the stability the space 37 may be divided to form separate air cushions by a structure 40 similar to the structure described above (see also Division F2). The deformable struc - ture described may also be used with curtains of moving fluid formed between the bottom of the wall 31 and the surface 38 as in Fig. 10. In Fig. 10 pressure is fed to the structure through the duct 48. The bottom surface 47 has two ports 49 communicating with the interior space 60. Airtight diaphragms 50 and 50 form interconnected chambers 54, 55 which also connect through ducts 57 with the space 61 below the surface 47. The ports 49 form two curtains 59 which maintain one or more pressurized cushions in the space 60 and others in the spaces 61. The pressure, Pc/2 in space 61 is intermediate   between that, P c , in the space 60 and that in the surrounding atmosphere. The pressure in spaces 54 and 55 is also Pc/2, The action of the diaphragms 50 and 51 is to produce loads as at A and B in Fig. 10 whose resolved components are vertically X 1 , X 2  and horizontally Y 1 , Y 2 . The stresses on the sides at their points of attachment to the bottom surface of the vehicle 30 may be reduced to zero when the wall 31 is fully inflated. The geometry of the diaphragms 50 and 51 can be varied, for example, to produce a combined vertical component which is less than the load due to the inflation pressure. The structure 31 may be adapted for use as an inflated fender on ships and dock quays.

An endless, conveyer in a chamber 2 for treating articles in containers, e.g. tinned goods, has means for driving at least one of the wheels, sprockets or the like over which the endless member 3 is guided, such that tension is maintained in the member 3. A sprocket 9 is driven directly by a device 13 which drives a sprocket 5 through chain wheels 15, 17 and chain 16. A friction coupling 18 is provided between the device 13 and the chain wheel 17 and a freewheel device 14 is provided between the chain wheel 15 with the sprocket 5. Operation.-The sprocket 9 rotates and the conveyer member 3 is tensioned since the sprocket 5 is not driven due to the freewheel device 14. In the event of an interruption of normal operation tension is maintained since on stopping the drive 13 both sprockets 9, 5 remain stationary. The freewheel device will allow the sprocket 5 to move in the direction opposite to normal but the friction coupling 18 ensures that tension in the conveyer is not excessive.
