Title: Fire extinguishers
IPC: A62C37/50
Filed: 1981-09-21
Abstract: A device for providing a simple indication of the serviceability of gas cartridge-operated fire extinguishers. An indicating piston 9 in a housing 10 is attached to a plunger 15 sensitive to the pressure within the headspace in the extinguisher body 2. If this pressure should rise to a first predetermined value, indicative of the leakage of propellant from the gas cartridge, the piston will be shifted up to a shoulder 14 on the inside surface of the housing 10, so that a first indication (such as "CO2 LEAK") on the piston becomes visible through a viewing window 13. Furthermore, if the headspace pressure reaches a second predetermined value, indicative of the total discharge of the gas cartridge when the extinguisher is used, the piston will be shifted further, past the shoulder 14, so that a second indication (such as "USED") on the piston becomes visible through the window 13. A frictional bearing is provided on the plunger 15 so as to prevent the piston being reset to its lower position after use without first dismantling the extinguisher. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2089890-A (GB)
Title: A device for producing movement in mechanical systems
IPC: F15B15/28
Filed: 1981-11-12
Abstract: An operating device for a robot, comprises a flexible container (4) for receiving a fluid, the container being formed from a first material which is stretchable radially with respect to an axis of the container and from a second material which is substantially non-stretchable with respect to the axis. Thus inflation of the container by the fluid causes the container to expand radially with respect to the axis and to contract with respect to the axis. Deflation of the container by removing the fluid from the container causes the container to regain substantially its original size. A measuring device 28 extends axially through the container to provide an electrical signal indicative of the container's axial length. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2101777-A (GB)
Title: Computer
Inventor: LEININGER STEVEN
IPC: H03M11/20
Filed: 1979-07-20
Abstract: The computer system of this invention has, as the heart of the system, a simple processing unit for providing most data processing by the computer system under control of a read-only memory which contains only instructions and other data for the CPU. The system also includes a random access memory, a keyboard, a video terminal, and a port device in the form of a tape recorder/player. A master clock initiates timing used throughout the system. A multi-line data bus interconnects the CPU and the different memories of the system including the keyboard and the video RAM. Bi-directional communication is possible on the data bus. The addressing of these different memories is by way of an address bus from the CPU, which is a uni-directional bus. Data to be operated upon is basically stored in the random access memory. The keyboard is used for inputting data to the CPU and the video terminal is used for displaying data. Features of the present invention include a special reset scheme for the CPU, a multiplexing scheme for addressing the RAM, alternate display of characters to provide, for example, either a 32-character line or a 64-character line, an improved keyboard selection scheme, and improved video processing means. Different capacity memories are accommodating using a shunt X71 (Fig. 14B) in which in a 4K RAM system pins 4 and 13 are shunted to provide a chip enable signal RAM* and in which in a 16K RAM system pins 3 and 4 are shunted to provide an address signal from either line A6 or A12. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2119143-A (GB)
Title: A remote controlled alarm system
Inventor: PERRY GEOFFREY MICHAEL
IPC: G08B25/01
Filed: 1982-04-20
Abstract: The alarm system is a remote control activated alarm, designed to summon assistance in an emergency i.e. Fire, Health, or unlawful intrusion in the home. The basic principle of operation is BOUNCE FLASH, the transmitter when activated by a person in distress fires a photo flash bulb whose light is reflected off the walls and ceiling of a room, a sensor head placed high up on one wall detects the short duration pulse of light and activates the alarm through a master control unit, the bounce flash from the transmitter ensures full coverage of the room from any position the distress person takes. The sensor heads are so designed to respond only to a pulse of light, with an X20 filter to exclude household lighting. The sensors also incorporate automatic gain control to compensate for high light levels i.e. Summer daylight.

Title: Mixing apparatus
Inventor: PLATTS STANLEY ALBERT
IPC: B01F25/64
Filed: 1982-06-22
Abstract: A mixing apparatus has a housing (1) containing a pair of apertured stators (6, 8) permitting flow therethrough respectively in different directions, and a bladed rotor having first and second rotors (12, 13) each co-operating with a respective stator.

Title: Motorised golf trolley
Inventor: WILSON WILLIAM ADAM THOMPSON
IPC: B62B1/04
Filed: 1982-08-11
Abstract: A motorised golf trolley comprises a wheeled motor frame assembly (1) and a handle (2) releasably connected to the assembly (1) so that together they form a generally T-shaped trolley for carrying a golf bag.

Title: An automatic stop for retrack in an edm machine
Inventor: KOSENSKI ROBERT LEONARD
IPC: B23H7/30
Filed: 1981-08-12
Abstract: An automatic adjustment for the retract distance in an EDM machine for maintaining a contact retract distance between the workpiece and the machining electrode independent of the electrode wear and the depth drilled. A limit switch (20) stops the upward retractive movement of ram (10) when the ram actuator (22) contacts limit switch (20). Electrodes (14) are carried by ram (10) and when a malfunction in machining occurs the ram (10) is retracted to a limit position determined by the position of the actuator (22) relative to the limit switch (20). Actuator (22) is magnetically held to ram (10) and will move upward toward limit switch (20) when the downward movement of ram (10), during machining, causes the actuator (22) to contact nuts (32) which are stationary, relative to ram (10). In effect the position of actuator (22) varies in accordance with the depth of machining and leads to a consistent retraction distance.
