  • Publication number: 20210291944
    Abstract: A water vessel hull protector including a support frame defining an internal volume within which a watercraft can be removably located and at least one barrier skin configured to extend across the internal volume of the support frame, and mounted to the support frame to extend above the waterline to separate the support frame from an external water body in order to prevent fouling of the support frame by marine growth.

  • Patent number: 10663383
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and methods for applying a force on a sample. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a stress cell (200) comprising a frame (205); an actuator arrangement (210) coupled to the frame; and a coupler (220) for coupling the actuator arrangement to the sample (230). The coupler (220) includes a first coupler portion connected to the actuator arrangement (210) and a second coupler portion connectable to the sample (230). The first coupler portion is flexibly coupled to the frame. The actuator arrangement (210) comprises a first element (214) having a first variable length and a second element (212) having a second variable length, and is adapted to vary a difference between the first length and the second length to provide the force.

  • Patent number: 9444773
    Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes receiving information via a user interface provided on a display of a user device from a first user associated with a pre-determined user group. The information includes an identification of a) a source language and b) a target language to which translation from the source language is requested. The method also includes determining that one or more second users of the pre-determined user group is associated with the source language and associated with the target language. This can be determined based on accessing a data repository that stores language capabilities of users within the pre-determined user group, wherein the language capabilities are determined automatically based on mining a corpus of electronic documents associated with the pre-determined user group. An identification of the one or more second users can be displayed on the user interface.

  • Patent number: 9147568
    Abstract: A mass spectrometer for producing a primary beam of ions for bombarding a sample under vacuum. The mass spectrometer includes a detector for detecting a secondary beam of ions released from the sample. The primary beam of ions includes water clusters where each water cluster contains between 1 and 10,000 water molecules. The primary beam of ions, in one embodiment, is produced by adiabatic expansion of water vapor. An auxiliary beam of ions for bombarding the sample includes a different species to those of the primary beam of ions.

  • Publication number: 20100162736
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for the presentation of organic samples at low temperature and under vacuum for analysis using a surface analysis technique is described. The apparatus carries a sample trapped between two hinged plates which is subsequently cryogenically-cooled and then inserted into a vacuum system where it locates on a cold stage. The device has a mechanism which is used to fracture the sample whilst under vacuum and open the two halves of the sample ready for analysis. It thus provides a reliable automated method of freeze-fracture, replacing current unreliable manual methods.
