20090203457 | Practice device - A practice device suitable for practicing golf putts, especially one provided in a mat, the device comprising a target and an upstanding shock absorber. When provided in a mat the device has a flush entry point thus accurately simulating an actual golf hole. Preferred embodiments include an essentially straight shock absorber which is higher in the centre than at its edges thus retaining more centrally struck putts adding further to the realism of the device. Certain embodiments include a light emitting means to define the target and means to detect the presence, speed and direction of balls moving into or out of the target. | 08-13-2009 |
20150086299 | Launch and Recovery Techniques for Submersible Vehicles and Other Payloads - A subsea payload such as an AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) or an AUV garage is lifted from an underwater location by flying a latch unit through the water to the payload. The latch unit carries a lift line toward the payload. The latch unit is then attached to the payload and the payload is lifted using tension applied through the lift line via the latch unit. The latch unit can also be used on a lift line to lower a payload and then to release the payload at an underwater location. The lift line is supported by a heave-compensating winch on a surface vessel that effects z-axis movement of the latch unit. The winch maintains tension on the lift line to prevent the lift line falling on the payload. Movement of the latch unit on x- and y-axes is effected by on-board thrusters. | 03-26-2015 |

20140167326 | ADDITIVE BUILDING - An additive building method for building a plurality of layers to form a build stack is provided. The method includes creating a variable potential difference between a conducting element at a first voltage potential and an ion source at a second voltage potential, and creating an electric field between the conducting element and the ion source. The electric field passes through the build stack to a nearest surface of the build stack which is nearest a transfer medium. The method further includes accumulating electric charge from the ion source on the nearest surface of the build stack, and transferring deposition material from a transfer medium onto the nearest surface. The strength of the field at the nearest surface of the build stack is controlled in order to cause a homogenous transfer of the deposition material on to the nearest surface. | 06-19-2014 |

20090250296 | Lubrication and scavenge system - A lubrication and scavenge system for a gas turbine, capable continued operation in nose-down or nose-up orientations, has a number of oil drainage passages to return oil to one or more collection chambers adjacent a rolling element bearing. A rotary impellor in the chamber forces the oil into a scavenge off-take passageway in the chamber wall leading to a scavenge pump. However, in some orientations windage effects in the chamber can return the oil to the drainage passage rather than permitting the impellor to centrifuge it into the off-take passageway. As a result oil starvation may occur. To avoid this and improve scavenging a shield is located between the drainage path and the off-take passageway adjacent to a face of the impellor. The shield may comprise an additional member, but preferably is formed integrally with a bearing race so as to ease assembly. | 10-08-2009 |
20090263058 | Squeeze-film damper arrangement - A squeeze-film damper arrangement comprising: concentric inner and outer components defining an annular gap there between for accommodating radial motion of the inner component within the outer component; and a fluid filling the annular gap around the outside of the inner component for damping said radial motion of the inner component, the fluid being axially contained between spaced-apart, radially-compliant first and second face-seals provided between the inner and outer components; wherein the first face-seal is provided between the opposing faces of a first pair of radially overlapping circumferential sealing elements associated with the inner and outer components respectively, a first one of the circumferential sealing elements in said pair being mounted for axial movement relative to the associated inner or outer component and being axially biased against the second of said circumferential sealing elements in said pair to form the first face-seal. | 10-22-2009 |

20100247015 | BEARING ARRANGEMENT - This invention relates to a bearing arrangement for supporting a rotatable shaft relative to a support structure. The bearing arrangement comprises a first bearing having radially inner and outer races, the inner race being rotatable relative to the outer race in use, and a second bearing arranged such that the first bearing is mounted to the support structure via the second bearing. The second bearing may allow for deflection of the shaft supported by the bearing arrangement. The bearing arrangement may be applied to high speed thrust bearing applications, such as, for example, within a gas turbine engine. | 09-30-2010 |
20110194799 | BEARING - A bearing comprising a plurality of rolling elements disposed between a first race and a second race. At least one of the rolling elements is a control element having characteristics which differ from the remaining rolling elements. Rotation of the first race with respect to the second race causes the control element to travel at a precessional speed which is greater than or less than the precessional speed of the remaining rolling elements. | 08-11-2011 |
