Abstract: A lift van crate formed as a rectilinear shaped compartment formed by a base; a first long wall having tabbed edges and a second long wall having tabbed edges, mounted to said base; a first short wall having tabbed edges and a second short wall having tabbed edges, mounted to said base, said first short wall and said second short wall having short wall receivers configured to receive at least one long wall interior tab of each of said respective adjacent first long wall and second long wall; a lid having an interior face and an exterior face, at least one lid receiver formed in said lid interior face, said lid configured to mount to each of said first long wall, second long wall, first short wall and said second short wall respectively by insertion of said tabbed edges into said at least one lid receiver.

Abstract: Flying electric generator aircraft that include groupings of four rotors mounted to booms extending fore and aft of a fuselage structure wherein the rotors are placed so that when the aircraft is facing the wind, each rotor has a direct path to an undisturbed flow of air, regardless of pitch angle and during all flight maneuvers of the aircraft. The rotors are placed in counter-rotating pairs with the booms preferably angled so that the rotors in the front of the aircraft are spaced at a distance from one another that is different than a spacing of the rotors at the rear of the aircraft.

Abstract: Security paper carries an intricate tactile surface profile pattern which has been imparted to the paper during its manufacture, at a stage after initial de-watering but before final drying, by passing the paper through a nip between a forming surface corresponding to the desired pattern and a backing surface. The tactile pattern is of excellent durability, and its intricacy offers a high degree of security. The tactile pattern is visible when viewed under low angle light, which facilitates verification or authentication of security documents made using the patterned paper.

Abstract: An optimizing injection moulding machine. The injection moulding machine produces articles in discrete shots. For each shot the gradient or time rate of change of an actual plastic flow characteristic is measured by a sensor mounted in the nozzle of the machine and provided to a data processing device. The gradient of a reference plastic flow characteristic is also provided to the data processing device. A comparison is made between the gradient of the reference plastic flow characteristic and the gradient of the measured plastic flow characteristic from an immediately preceding shot to derive a compensated ram displacement characteristic which is inputted to a process controller. A further shot is performed, and the process repeated with the subsequent measured plastic flow characteristic until a time that an optimized ram displacement characteristic is obtained, thereby improving article part quality and saving on materials and fabrication time.
