20090088861 | PROSTHESIS - A mobile bearing tibial implant is described which comprises a tibial component and a mediscal bearing component. The tibial component comprises a tibial plate having a proximal face and a distal face. A tibial post extends from the distal face of the tibial plate which in use will anchor the tibial plate to the proximal end of a resected tibia. The tibial compent additionally includes a generally rectangular tibial projection extending upwardly from the proximal face of the tibial plate, the central longitudinal plane of the said tibial projection being co-linearly located on the sagittal plane passing substantially through the center of the knee. The meniscal bearing component has a substantially flat distal face for glidable seating on the tibial plate and a proximal face configured to receive in use an articulating condylar surface of a femoral component. The meniscal component has a recess therein opening on the distal face of the component, the recess being shaped to receive the tibial projection and to allow the meniscal bearing component to rotate about a center of rotation passing through the tibial projection but to prevent or limit anterior/posterior translation of the meniscal bearing component on the tibial plate. | 04-02-2009 |

20100126711 | DOWNHOLE MODULATOR APPARATUS - A modulator is disclosed for creating a pressure pulse in a fluid-filled well. The modulator comprises a tool body on which a plurality of extendable arms are mounted. The arms may be retracted into a stowed position substantially adjacent the tool body, or may be extended to meet the wall of the borehole. The arms are preferably resilient bowsprings that may be flexed outwards from the tool by means of an actuator pushing on at least one end of the springs. A flexible valve sleeve or bag is suspended between the arms and cooperates with a valve mounted adjacent the sleeve on the tool body. The valve sleeve creates a fluid-flow path through the valve, and in operation, the valve closes one end of the valve sleeve to create the pressure pulse. Sealing of the valve sleeve against the wall of the well is a result of the fluid pressure inflating the sleeve against the well wall. As a result, sealing takes place over an extended area of the bag and is dynamically responsive to changes in fluid flow or pressure. | 05-27-2010 |

20120318972 | MASS SPECTROMETRY APPARATUS AND METHODS - A mass spectrometer having a mass filter which applies a transient voltage profile to accelerate ion packets. The voltage profile is chosen to have a functional form which imparts each ion species with a kinetic energy which is larger the larger the mass-to- charge ratio and a velocity which is smaller the larger the mass-to-charge ratio. The ions are detected in an ion detector which discriminates between different ion species based on their kinetic energy and taking account of the functional form of the voltage profile. Suitable voltage profiles include periodic functions such as sinusoids, triangles and sawtooths, which allow the amplification of drive pulses in the mass filter to be carried out with narrow band amplification stages, which are simple and inexpensive to construct. | 12-20-2012 |

The mass spectrometer is provided with an improved detector based on an electrostatic lens arrangement made of a concave lens followed in the beam path by a convex lens. These lenses deflect ions away from the beam axis by a distance from the beam axis that is inversely proportional to their mass-to-charge ratios. The mass-to-charge ratio of the ions can then be determined by a suitable detector array, such as a multi-channel plate placed in the beam path. This provides a compact and sensitive instrument. | 12-13-2012 |

Destruction of the RDF (refuse derived fuel) is accomplished by subjecting the RDF to a high temperature environment under controlled conditions in a purpose designed and built reactor. The high temperature environment, <5000° C., is achieved through the use of one or more non-transferred plasma torches for generation of plasma gas. The plasma gas exiting the torch and provides the thermal energy for the continual gasification of metallurgic coke configured as a carbon bed in the lower part of the reactor, which acts as a thermal catalyst and this provides the thermal energy for the gasification process. | 11-14-2013 |

20100280730 | METHOD OF MONITORING A GAS TURBINE ENGINE - Operation of gas turbine engines and in particular gas turbine engines utilised for aircraft, in an efficient manner is a desired objective. Thus engine efficiency is typically determined through use of an engine performance parameter. One such engine performance parameter is with regard to specific fuel consumption. However, such parameters may vary as a result of inherent deterioration with regard to the engine. By utilising a computational model to determine variations in the performance parameter such as the specific fuel consumption changes as a result of such inherent engine degradation can be accommodate. Thus, such degradation may not swamp actual changes in fuel consumption or the engine performance parameter which are indicative of changes of engine efficiency. Generally and initially, computational results are utilised in order to provide a value with regard to degradation changes in the performance parameter, but such changes may be augmented by practical test results in order to tune the off-set constants a, b for an individual engine. | 11-04-2010 |

20090028555 | OPTICAL FILTER - An apparatus and method are provided for filtering an optical signal by wavelength. An initially polarised signal is passed through a DGD element effective to alter the polarisation state of the components of the signal according to wavelength.

20140268308 | TILT CONTROL THROUGH OPTICAL PUMP POWER ADJUSTMENT - The adjustment of tilt in an optical signal path of a repeater. The repeater includes an optical pump that optically powers a rare-Earth doped fiber amplifier, which amplifies the optical signal. The optical signal path also includes Raman gain stage implemented in a previous optical fiber span in the optical signal path, and which contributes tilt with respect to wavelength. Adjusting the Raman gain and/or the rare-Earth doped gain also adjusts the combined tilt contributed by these gain stages. However, the rare-Earth doped gain operates at least partially in the saturated regime, thereby stabilizing the gain at the output of the rare-Earth doped amplifier. Thus tilt control may be employed by adjusting optical pump power with reduced effect on overall gain. | 09-18-2014 |
