| 20100004769 | METHOD OF DESIGNING A STRUCTURE - A method of designing a structure, such as an airfoil section. A first set of candidate designs is generated in a first optimisation process, each candidate design comprising a set of M design variables associated with an M-dimensional design space. A subset of the first set of candidate designs is selected. The selected subset of candidate designs is analysed by proper orthogonal decomposition or principal component analysis to generate an N-dimensional design space defined by N design variables, N being less than M. A second set of one or more candidate designs is then generated in a second optimisation process, each candidate design comprising a set of N design variables associated with the N-dimensional design space. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20080249429 | Spirometers - A portable hand-held spirometer apparatus is described. A main casing has a pair of opposed arms extending to one side thereof. A flow head component unit has a channel through which air may be blown, with formations in the channel imparting a rotary movement to air blown through the channel. A free-spinning vaned member is mounted for rotation about an axis substantially coaxial with that of the channel. The flow head component unit has two open-ended recesses extending to either side of the vaned member and dimensioned to receive the opposed arms when the flow head component unit is fitted on to the main casing. This construction enables the successive use of detachable flow head components, each may be used once and then a batch of which may be sterilized before re-use. | 10-09-2008 |
