20090321559 | Aircraft noise reduction apparatus - The invention relates to aircraft noise reduction apparatus, in particular, but not exclusively, to noise reduction apparatus on an aircraft landing gear. The aircraft noise reduction apparatus comprises a noise reduction attachment for a landing gear of an aircraft. The noise reduction apparatus is movable between a first position in which it deflects air away from a noise inducing component of the landing gear and a second position in which it allows access to the noise inducing component. The movement of the noise reduction attachment between the first and second positions is actuated by a part of the landing gear. | 12-31-2009 |

20100178453 | ELONGATE COMPOSITE STRUCTURAL MEMBER - A composite material elongate structural member, such as a spar or stringer, for use in an aerospace structure, comprises a web having an angled portion, for example in the form of a chamfer, curved surface or the like, which joins a foot of the member to the rest of the web. A first surface on the foot is shaped to abut a structure to be stiffened. The foot also has a second surface opposite the first surface. The web has a third surface and a fourth surface at the same layer in the composite material as the first and third surfaces, respectively. On/in the interposed portion there is a fifth surface which joins the first and third surfaces. The geometry of the member may vary along its length (L) so that with increasing distance, the first surface is displaced towards the second surface as the width of the fifth surface decreases. The risk of causing, during fabrication of the elongate member, undesirable creasing, stressing or stretching of composite material layers in a region in which the geometry of the member varies may be reduced by means of such an arrangement. | 07-15-2010 |

20130009391 | PERSONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR USE IN RECREATIONAL UTILITY VEHICLES AND OTHER VEHICLES - Personal restraint systems for use in recreational utility vehicles (RUVs) are disclosed herein. A personal restraint system configured in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure includes a web configured to extend around an occupant and a locking retractor having a motorized spool. A control module is electrically coupled to the locking retractor and the motorized spool is operably coupled to the web. A sensor is electrically coupled to the control module and is configured to detect dynamic characteristics of the RUV. In one embodiment, the sensor detects acceleration events that indicate a level of ride quality and the locking retractor adjusts the tension in the web based on the level of ride quality. | 01-10-2013 |

20080265103 | AEROFOIL - An aerofoil comprising: an upper surface; a lower surface; a leading edge between the upper and lower surfaces at the front of the aerofoil; and a trailing edge between the upper and lower surfaces at the rear of the aerofoil. The leading edge has a projection where it meets the lower surface, and a cove between the projection and the upper surface. A flow vortex is formed in the cove which exhibits increasingly strong axial flow that retains flow attachment to higher angles of attack. | 10-30-2008 |

20080271284 | Collecting chamber for a cleaning appliance - A cleaning appliance includes a main body and a collecting chamber releasably held on the main body. The collecting chamber includes a closure member which is movable between a closed position and an open position in which the collecting chamber can be emptied and an actuating member adapted and arranged to release the collecting chamber from the main body and, when the collecting chamber is released from the main body, to release the closure member from the closed position. By providing such an arrangement, a single actuating member can be used to release the collecting chamber from the main body of the cleaning appliance and also to open the closure member to empty the collecting chamber. A single actuating member is less complex, requires less space and is more intuitive for a user to operate. | 11-06-2008 |

20120149049 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRESENTING AN AUTOMATED ASSESSMENT OF A SAMPLE'S RESPONSE TO EXTERNAL INFLUENCES - A biological sample is evaluated by an automated apparatus that operates to identify one or more areas of interest within the sample. Each area of interest has a classifiable appearance brought about from the sample's interaction with an external influence under investigation. The apparatus classifies each area of interest by automatically resolving and identifying either the existence of an abnormal feature in that area of interest or a lack of any abnormality in that area of interest. An abnormal feature qualified as differentiable from a control reference unaffected by the external influence by at least one of: shape; area; size; and proximity to other resolved features within the area of interest. The apparatus counts incidences of abnormal features within each area of interest and automatically presents an assessment of the effect of the external influence on the sample based at least in part on the count of abnormal features. | 06-14-2012 |
