Title: Manufacture of mineral insulated thermocouple probes
Inventor: LIDDELL MARK
IPC: H01L35/34
Filed: 1997-03-26
Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a mineral insulated thermocouple probe (1) of predetermined diameter comprises: (i) cutting a length of metal tube (2) to a predetermined length; (ii) sealing one end of the metal tube, for example by capacitance discharge welding; (iii) joining at least one pair of thermocouple wires (4 and 6) formed from dissimilar metals together to form a hot junction and positioning the wires together so that they are substantially parallel to each other with the hot junction at one end thereof; (iv) locating the thermocouple wires inside the tube (2) together with mineral insulant (8) so that the interior of the tube is substantially filled with the mineral insulant and the thermocouple wires, and the hot junction is located in the region of the sealed end of the tube; (v) reducing the diameter of the tube to form a thermocouple having a sheath of the predetermined diameter; and (vi) sealing the opposite end of the thermocouple (the cold junction). The process has the advantage of speed and relatively low scrap rate.

Title: Combination weighing or counting apparatus
Inventor: KISHIMURA HIROSHI
IPC: G01G19/393
Filed: 1998-09-09
Abstract: A combination weighing or counting apparatus includes a plurality of weighing hoppers (10) to which articles (M) are supplied. A combination calculating unit performs a combinational calculation of weighed values or counts of the articles (M) within those weighing hoppers (10) and selects a combination of the weighing hoppers (10, 42) which will give a weight or count closest to a target value or fall within the tolerance range, the combination chosen being one in which the number of the weighing hoppers (10) is a minimum or a maximum. An open/close control unit opens the selected weighing hoppers to allow the latter to discharge the articles (M) therefrom. The control system also acts to exclude the selected weighing hoppers from a subsequent combination calculation.

Title: Adaptive control of power output from magnetic dipole and current dipole in drill string telemetry transmitter
Inventor: RASSI DAREYOUSH
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 1998-09-19
Abstract: A telemetry transmitter located in a portion of a drill string 10,14 comprises an input for receiving and transmitting data obtained from at least one transducer arranged to sense a parameter of the drill string 10,14 and/or a parameter of the surrounding medium 16. The transmitter comprises at least one magnetic dipole 24 (coil 28 with ferromagnetic core 26) and at least one current dipole 38 (electrode pair formed by drill string sections 10, 14), arranged to transmit an electromagnetic data signal and control means for adaptively varying the power output from the magnetic and current dipoles, according to the orientation of the drill string portion and according to the electrical resistivity of the surrounding medium 16. The power control signals may come from the transmitter as a result of data obtained from sensors in the transmitter or from the earth's surface. A data relay link may be provided along the drill string using another transmitter, possibly of similar form. The dipoles 24, 38 may be operated separately and independently, or simultaneously and structural details of the dipoles are disclosed (figs 2-4). This arrangement overcomes disadvantages associated with the lone use of current dipoles or magnetic dipoles, i.e. magnetic field detectable at earth's surface is greater for vertical magnetic dipole than for vertical current dipole and magnetic dipole provides better results than current dipole when electrical resistivity of surrounding medium 16 is high but worse results when drilling depth exceeds 2km.

Title: Yarn feeding in a tuft forming mechanism
Inventor: GRIFFITH JOHN DALTON
IPC: D03D39/08
Filed: 1999-10-18
Abstract: A tuft forming mechanism e.g. for a gripper axminster loom comprises an intermittently rotating toothed feed disc 1 which advances the yarn to severing means 6,18. The disc is driven by an electric motor (eg. stepper or servo motor) and a spring biassed presser plate 3 presses the yarn against the toothed disc 1 (via presser plate 3, biassed by spring 4). The disc 1 rotates a predetermined angle and feeds the yarn 2 via a tunnel 5, through a hole 17 in a stationary cutter plate 6 to a rest position 7. A moving blade 18 biassed against cutter plate 6 is moved forward and by a scissors action cuts the yarn 2. Simultaneously an anvil (24 fig 2) pushes the cut yarn into a slot (23 fig. 5) where it is held prior to placement.

Patent GB-191111937-A (GB)
IPC: E05B27/08
Abstract: 11937. Pradel, L. Legroux-. Feb. 8, [Convention date]. Locks, revolving-barrel; change-key mechanism.-The handle for operating the bolt or bolts is connected by levers to a plate 20 secured to a revolving barrel 11 and can be turned only after the kev has set mechanism to allow the barrel 11 to rotate. This mechanism consists of a series of sliders 5 which are carried by a fixed drum a and are adapted to be set by the key acting on extensions 6 thereof. The sliders co-operate with normally fixed tumblers 15, carried by the barrel 11, and hold the barrel against rotation until notches 9 in the sliders are brought into line with projections 16 on the tumblers. The tumblers 15 are held against longitudinal movement in the barrel by means of teeth on their upper edges engaging corresponding teeth on ribs 22<a> internally arranged on a cylindrical shell 22 surrounding the parts. When it is desired to change the lock to suit a new combination on the key, the door is opened, and by means of a knob 27 the shell 22 is rotated until grooves 23 come opposite the tumblers 15 and these are released from the teeth 22<a>, so that when the key is withdrawn they are carried forward with the sliders 5 under the action of springs 37 to the position shown in the lower part of Fig. 1. On the insertion of the new key, the sliders and tumblers are pushed back and the tumblers are held, as adjusted, by turning the shell 22 back to its original position. When the barrel is then rotated to lock the door the sliders are released from the projections 16 of the tumblers and spring forward to lock the barrel. The barrel 11 has a limited free movement in the direction of unlocking before the tumblers 15 contact with the sliders 5, but during such movement teeth 11<a> on the under surface of the barrel 11 engage teeth 5a on the upper edges of the sliders 5, and these parts are not disengaged until after the projections 16 have entered the notches 9, so that picking by feeling is rendered impossible. Keys.-The key comprises a stem 38, on which are mounted a series of slides 48 held in place by a surrounding sleeve 42, within grooves in which they work, and corresponding in numbers to the sliders 5 in the lock. The slides 48 are secured in the positions to which they are adjusted by means of spring catches 44 adapted to engage notches 48<a> in the slides. For adjusting the slides 48, use is made of a tube 58 which can be slid over the kev and carries a spring pawl 59 adapted to enter a notch 49 in the slide to be moved, and of a sheath 56, Fig. 13, with a series of steps 57 corresponding in number to the notches 48<a> in the slides, which sheath is turned on the kev until the step corresponding to the required position of the slide is brought into the path of the pawl 59. During the adjustment of each slide, its catch 44 is disengaged therefrom by means of a second tube 51, a finger 54 of which is brought under the nose 50 of the catch.
