Patent GB-2324822-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for retaining a material breaking device
Inventor: HODSON JOHN
IPC: E21C37/14
Filed: 1997-01-10
Abstract: Apparatus for retaining a material breaking device in a mass of material to be broken comprises a slotted nylon bush (22) mounted on a frusto cone (21). The bush (22) defines an internal conical bore which is substantially complementary in shape to the frusto cone (21). The frusto cone (21) is mounted on a bolt (18) which is connected with a degree of freedom of movements to a member (11) which is adapted for connection to the breaking device. In operation a passage in the member (11) conducts gas from the breaking device to the apparatus. This pushes the frusto cone (21) into the internal conical bore in the bush (22) expanding the bush into the wall of the bore in the mass of material in which the device and apparatus are located thus retaining both within the mass of material to improve the breaking effect of the device.
Patent GB-2328267-A (GB)
Title: A viscous coupling with plate apertures providing uniform moistening of the plates
Inventor: HOFER MANFRED
IPC: F16D35/00
Filed: 1998-07-07
Abstract: A viscous coupling comprises a housing 2 with outer plates 4 and a coaxial relatively rotatable hub 3 having inner plates 6. The outer and inner plates 4, 6 are arranged alternatively and have closed apertures 51 which are shaped so that, when the plates 4, 6 rotate relative to each other, a viscous fluid is pressed inward against centrifugal forces towards the couplings axis of rotation, thereby counteracting a separation of the viscous fluid and air. As a result, the plates 4, 6 are moistened uniformly which reduces the amount of wear and increases the service life of the coupling. The apertures 51 have delimiting faces 52, 53 which may be inclined to radius R and are joined by a base face 55 so as to form a drop shape. In other embodiments the apertures may be a different shape, eg see figs 4 and 6. Also the inner or outer plates may comprise slots 56 of differing configurations (eg see fig 5).

Title: Control arrangement for vehicle suspension system
Inventor: HEYRING CHRISTOPHER BRIAN
IPC: B60G21/073
Filed: 1998-02-17
Abstract: A vehicle suspension control system that allows substantially vertical motion of each wheel relative to the vehicle body includes front and rear resilient support means for supporting the body, a front roll stabilisation assembly interconnecting at least one forward pair of wheels and a rear roll stabilisation assembly interconnecting at least one rearward pair of wheels. Each roll stabilisation assembly includes at least one lateral torsion bar (2) and a double-acting hydraulic actuator (3) interconnected to the at least one lateral torsion bar (2), the front and rear hydraulic actuators (3) being interconnected by first and second fluid conduits (5). Roll moments applied to the vehicle body generate pressure within the fluid conduits (5) thereby transmitting the roll moment into each lateral torsion bar (2). Warp motions of the wheels generate flow along the fluid conduits (5) resulting in a displacement of one hydraulic actuator (3) in a proportional and opposite direction to the other hydraulic actuator (3). The front and rear roll stabilisation assemblies provide roll stiffness during both roll and warp motions while at the same time providing substantially zero warp stiffness. The system includes an hydraulic fluid supply means (12) and fluid conduit valve means (13) for selectively communicating the fluid conduits (5) with the hydraulic fluid supply means (12) to regulate the average pressure in both fluid conduits (5).

Title: Container for fluid materials
Inventor: HEROLD WOLF-DIETRICH
IPC: B65B7/00
Filed: 1992-11-06
Abstract: A container comprises a tubular film 11 for flowable products. The opened tubular film can be placed in a cylindrical housing 31 between a cap 33 and a displaceable plunger 32. At the end of the tubular film 11 facing the cap 33, said tubular film is provided with a ring 20 which has a conical sealing surface 21. When the contents of the tubular film 11 are discharged by advancing the plunger 32, said sealing surface 21 is pressed against a counter-surface 35 of the cap 33 which surrounds the discharge aperture 34. The contents of the tubular film 11 are thus prevented from leaking onto the inside wall of the housing. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of recovering the uranium contained in impure phosphoric acid
IPC: C22B60/02
Filed: 1980-02-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the recovery of the uranium contained in an impure phosphoric acid. The impure acid is treated with an organic phase capable of extracting U (VI), and the resultant organic phase is then re-extracted with an aqueous solution containing complexing acid and an oxidizing-reducing agent in the reduced state, said oxidizing-reducing agent being capable of reducing U+6 to U+4 in said aqueous solution. The resultant aqueous phase is then subjected to electrochemical oxidation, followed by extraction with a second organic phase from which the uranium is recovered, the depleted aqueous solution being recycled to the re-extraction after electrochemical reduction, with the process comprising two organic phase cycles and a cycle of a complexing aqueous solution. The process is of particular interest when applied to the recovery and concentration of uranium contained in a wet process phosphoric acid.

Patent IL-90906-A (IL)
Title: Method and system for detecting and ranging an image
IPC: G01S17/18
Filed: 1989-07-07
Abstract: A novel system for remote detection and imaging of underwater objects is presented. In accordance with the present invention, a laser is used to generate short pulses of light with pulse widths on the order of nanoseconds. The laser light is expanded by optics and projected down towards the surface of the water and to an object. Intensified CCD (charge coupled device) cameras (preferably two) are electronically shuttered after the time delay corresponding to the round trip propagation time and from to the object. This timing eliminates light scattered by the water from in front of and behind the object. As a result, the veiling luminance of the water is greatly attenuated and faint target signatures can be seen. The resulting gated images (displayed on a CRT) have sufficient spatial resolution to classify and/or identify the object. The imaging lidar system of the present invention takes advantage of the fact that all opaque targets will cast a shadow. The exposure of the two cameras in the system are timed such that one camera gives an image of the object against the backscattered light from the water while the other camera gives an image of the shadow of the object against the backscattered light. These two images are then subtracted to improve the detectability of the object.
