Abstract: An aircraft system has a first structure, and a second structure coupled to the first structure and movable between first and second positions relative to the first structure. The aircraft system has an electrical connector for providing an electrical connection running between respective components housed within the first and second structures. The electrical connector has a cable harness housed within the first structure, and a connector body coupled to an end of the cable harness. The connector body extends through an aperture formed in the first structure, and the connector body is coupled to the second structure such that movement of the second structure between the first and second positions relative to the first structure causes the connector body to move through the aperture.

Abstract: A cable routing system is disclosed including a routing fixture and an exit fitting. The routing fixture defines a channel for a cable. The channel is engaged by the exit fitting and a cable in the channels exits through an exit channel defined by the exit fitting. The exit channel is directed away from the channel in the routing fixture. The resulting assembly allows low profile cable runs that can conform to a structural surface and in which cables can be broken out easily, without a requirement to cut the cable. A clamp may be provided to further secure the exit fitting to the routing fixture. A method of installation involves installing a cable into a routing channel before installing the exit fitting. The cable routing system can be used in an aircraft, including space constrained areas such as within an aircraft wing.

Abstract: This invention relates to a gas tank handling attachment for a truck mounted forklift truck (TMFL) comprising a frame, a pair of clamping arms pivotably mounted on the frame, and a pair of pivoting rams mounted on the frame, operable to pivot the clamping arms to and from a stowed configuration and an operating configuration. The frame comprises a pair of spaced apart uprights bridged by a bracing cross-member, and there is provided, mounted on the frame, means to releasably engage a fork carriage. One of the clamping arms is mounted on one upright and the other clamping arm is mounted on the other upright. In the stowed configuration, the clamping arms are substantially parallel to and extend upwardly from the uprights, and in the operating configuration the clamping arms are substantially orthogonal to and project forwardly from the uprights. An operator can operate the attachment to engage/disengage a gas tank from inside the driver's station of the TMFL.

Abstract: A cable routing system is disclosed having dielectric, or insulating, liner which is installed within a cable routing channel, or raceway, to subdivide the channel into at least two secondary channels. This can achieve more efficient use of space and enable more flexible placement of cables within the channels while meeting safety requirements. Installation of cables into the channel can include inserting the cables into the dielectric liner before the installation of the dielectric liner into the cable routing channel. The cable routing system can be used in an aircraft, including within space-constrained areas of the aircraft such as inside a wing.

Abstract: An illuminator comprises an elongate body; and engagement means for engaging a display cabinet shelf at a front edge. Light emitting diodes are mounted on inner surfaces of the body for product illumination. The diodes are mounted for mutually divergent and at least partially inwardly-directed fields of illumination. The diodes include a top set of diodes arranged for illumination above a shelf and a bottom set of diodes for illumination below a shelf. The illuminator may further comprise a light guide for direction of light from behind the diodes to an outer surface of the body, and the diodes being mounted on a transparent substrate. The body may comprise a label holder for supporting a label across an outer surface of the body.

Abstract: An illuminator (1) has two lines of LEDs (2) on inwardly-directed faces (7) of an elongate body (3) which forms a mullion for a display cabinet. Heat conduction through the body (3) to outer surfaces provides the durable effect of anti-sweat heating to prevent condensation in doors of the cabinet.

Abstract: A display case luminaire (30) comprises a linear housing, array (32) of LED light sources, and lens (33), wherein the lens provides a substantially uniform spread of light across a target plane even if the luminaire is located to emit light generally at an acute angle to the plane. The lens (33) is a Fresnel lens and has non-uniform optical characteristics in cross-section, with at least two different focal lengths. The linear housing comprises a visor (36) and a reflective surface (35) externally of the lens and a reflective surface (35) between the lens and the light source. A display case luminaire as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the housing is configured for mounting back-to-back with another similar luminaire to provide a field of emission in the range of 150° to 180°. The housing is generally quadrant-shaped in cross-section, and the lens may be tilted with respect to the light source.

Abstract: A method and system used for testing a subterranean well. A sensor (34), such as a distributed temperature sensor, comprising a sensing optical fiber (48) connected to an interrogation unit (50), is deployed together with a drill stem test string (20) so that the sensor extends below the packer of the drill stem test string and across at least one formation (22) of the wellbore.
