Publication number: 20210227988Abstract: The present invention relates to beds having a support surface defined by a plurality of support members. According to some aspects the support members are sprung and the bed includes a damping system for example a damping arm, for damping vibrations of the springs. According to some aspects the support members have laterally extending pusher members arranged to engage with adjacent support members; the pusher members comprising damping material. According to some aspects the support members are received by a guide member made up of two parts arranged to retain a spring by engaging between the coils of the spring. The present invention also relates to bed frames comprising a plurality of movable side elements mounted for movement in a direction substantially normal to the body support surface. The side elements are resiliently urged towards an unloaded position. The present invention also relates to methods of manufacturing beds.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Applicant: Ammique LimitedInventors: Marlene Claire GREENHALGH, Colin Jack GREENHALGH

Patent number: 9449721Abstract: In space, a linear accelerator firing charged pellets can be situated at a large distance from a target at which the pellets are aimed. The accelerator can fire a graduated-speed train of pellets over a period of seconds or longer which arrive at the target simultaneously, and impart a large pulse of energy. An accelerator of modest power can thus provide a pulse in the megajoule range, sufficient to ignite fusion. It is necessary to provide course corrections to the pellets, to bring them together with very high precision as they approach the target. An ideal siting is to place the accelerator at the Earth-Moon L1 or L2 Lagrange point, and the fusion target at a point on the surface of the Moon where the pellets will strike at grazing incidence, i.e. on a great circle intersecting the lunar poles. Length of the particle trajectory is over 60000 km.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2012Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Inventor: Colin Jack

Patent number: 6721981Abstract: A body support apparatus, for example, a bed, includes a support surface defined by support members. Each support member is mounted for movement in a direction substantially normal to the support surface. Support members are so arranged that movement of any one of the support members in a direction substantially normal to the support surface and beyond a threshold distance relative to an adjacent support member causes movement in substantially the same direction of said adjacent support member. No movement of a support member is caused by the movement of an adjacent support member when the distance of relative movement is below the threshold distance. The support members are resiliently urged towards an unloaded position, by tension springs.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2001Date of Patent: April 20, 2004Inventors: Colin Jack Greenhalgh, Marlene Claire Greenhalgh
