Publication number: 20100181410Abstract: This invention reveals a hand-winder assisting rope clamping structure, particularly suitable for the fastening cargo operation using a rope. The design connects the hand-winder to a clamping device consists of a fixed plate and a movable plate. The clamp holds the movable end of the rope for fastening the cargo. Adjustment of the clamping of the rope is through packing bolts or quick release puller using the hook installed on the truck, and operating the pull handle of the hand-winder to retrieve the flat belt results in tightening of the rope at the same time. After the rope is tied to the truck it is thrown over to the other side of the cargo, the hand-winder is then moved to the other side for repeating of above actions. The whole process thus requires just a set of hand-winder, achieving the advantages in cost, safety, truckload, and storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2009Publication date: July 22, 2010Inventors: San-Lang TING, Chun-Hui Chang, Wei-Yuan Ting, Wei-Lun Ting

Publication number: 20100181436Abstract: An air intake for a supersonic air-breathing flight vehicle introduces or injects fluid in order to create predetermined regions of separated flow and an attendant fluid shear layer. This shear layer forms an aerodynamic boundary for the capture flow with a profile determined and optimised by appropriate injection of fluid. The aerodynamic boundary so generated replaces mechanically moveable solid surfaces used to vary the geometry of prior-art intakes. Use of an introduced or injected fluid can provide an advantage of a variable geometry, but with reduced weight and reduced mechanical complexity. In some embodiments, the injection of fluid has the effect of re-energising any ingested boundary layer, thus obviating the conventional requirement for a bleed system to provide boundary layer control.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2009Publication date: July 22, 2010Applicant: MBDA UK LimitedInventor: Clifford John RICHARDS

Publication number: 20100181451Abstract: A holding device includes a holder, a connecting body, and a base. The base has a first meshing portion. The connecting body is disposed between the holder and the base, and it has a pivotal element, a limiting portion, and a second meshing portion. The second meshing portion is disposed on the limiting portion. Two ends of a surface of the pivotal element are pivotally connected with the base and the limiting portion, respectively, and thus the base and the limiting portion may rotate relative to the pivotal element. When the limiting portion rotates relative to the pivotal element, the second meshing portion is meshed with or detached from the first meshing portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2009Publication date: July 22, 2010Inventors: Ting-Fang HSIEH, Chun-Wen Chen
