Patent number: 8607561Abstract: An actuating apparatus which may be arranged to provide an actuating rotation or force on demand. The actuating apparatus comprises a resilient member having a plurality of co-acting elements such as a plurality of elongate rods and end-mounts arranged to move relative to each other. The resilient member is arrangeable in a first configuration and a second configuration such as a twisted configuration. An actuator which is preferably elongate is secured to the resilient member at least two points, preferably to each of the end mounts of the resilient member. The actuator is arranged to force the resilient member into one of or between the two configurations. The resilient member preferably includes a matrix which preferably surrounds at least a portion of the elongate rods.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: GE Aviation Systems LimitedInventors: Marcus Peter Johannes Walls-Bruck, Ian Paul Bond

Patent number: 7129082Abstract: The invention provides a bio-reactor device and a method of cultivating live cells. The device comprises a holder which contains a matrix of porous foam material in whose interior live cells are anchored, the device comprising also a liquid contained in the holder. The liquid is an oxygen carrier and saturates the matrix, the liquid comprising a synthetic or semi-synthetic constituent. The method involves perfusing the oxygen carrier liquid through the matrix to deliver oxygen to the cells and to absorb carbo-dioxide from the cells.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2001Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: CSIRInventors: Schalk Van Der Merwe, Francis Sean Moolman, Robert Paul Bond, Adriaan Jacobus Van Wyk

Publication number: 20050253593Abstract: Initialization of a bidirectional, self-timed parallel interface with capacitive coupling is provided. The self-timed interface includes master and slave nodes connected by a parallel bus comprising multiple AC differential wire pairs. The initialization includes automatically testing at least one wire pair of the multiple AC differential wire pairs for conductivity failure, wherein the testing is responsive to a link reset signal of a first frequency. The automatically testing includes employing a link test signal of a second frequency to test the at least one wire pair of the multiple AC differential wire pairs. The second frequency is a lower frequency than a third, operational signal frequency of the self-timed parallel interface, and the first frequency and the second frequency comprise different frequencies. An initialization testing and handshake approach between the master node and slave node is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2004Publication date: November 17, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul Bond, Daniel Casper, Edward Chencinski, Joseph Hoke, Robert Livolsi

Patent number: 6328571Abstract: A wall mounted rail system with movable boards comprises a pair of elongate rails. Each rail has an upwardly opening channel defining an upper track and a downwardly opening channel defining a lower track, the rails being horizontally mounted in parallel spaced apart relationship on a wall surface so that one of the rails defines an upper rail and the other rail defines a lower rail. The board is movably mounting to the rails. An upper bracket is secured to a top of the board and has a guide element received in the upper track of the upper rail. A lower bracket is secured to a bottom of the board and has a guide element received in the lower track of the lower rail.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1999Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Bretford Manufacturing Inc.Inventors: Dennis J.

Patent number: 4328427Abstract: An engine-driven dual winding separately excited alternator supplies electric power to a parallel array of d-c traction motors via a power rectifier assembly comprising three legs of serially interconnected diodes. The alternator has a first set of 3-phase windings respectively connected to the three rectifier legs at points between first and second diodes thereof and another set of duplicate windings respectively connected to the corresponding legs at points between third and fourth diodes thereof. First and second switching means are used to interconnect the respective junctures of the second and third diodes of all three rectifier legs, and in response to transition command signals these switching means are selectively closed (or opened) in sequence to change the connection of the alternator windings from parallel to series (or vice versa). Stabilizing means associated with the excitation system of the alternator is temporarily disabled during the transition interval.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1980Date of Patent: May 4, 1982Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Paul A.
