Patent GB-2130315-A (GB)
Title: Differential mechanisms
Inventor: BENNETT JOHN SEBASTIAN
IPC: F16H48/12
Filed: 1983-10-11
Abstract: A vehicle differential mechanism having a rotatable input member (16) for connection with a drive means and a pair of rotatable output members (17, 18) one on each side of the input member for connection with components such as wheel-driving shafts (13, 14) to be driven by the mechanism. A pair of rotatable clutch members (19, 20) are located one on each side of the input member (16) between the input member and the output members are slidable in directions parallel to the axis of rotation of the input and output members. Each clutch member has separate first (23) and second (24) circumferentially-spaced axially-projecting cam formations for engagement with first (22) and second (25) cam formations on the input and output members respectively. The cam formations are shaped to result in axial displacement of the clutch member on relative rotation between interengaging cam formations. When the mechanism is used for example as an inter-wheel differential in a vehicle being driven substantially in a straight line, the first cam formations (22, 23) force both sets of second cam formations (24,25) into engagement to transmit drive to each output member (17, 18) from the intput member (16) via the first and second cam formations and, when the vehicle makes a turn, the second cam formations of the faster rotating (outer) output member cause axial and rotational displacement of the associated clutch member thus disconnecting drive between the associated first and second cam formations to disconnect drive between the input member and the faster rotating output member. A blocking means (21, 26, 27) limits the rotational displacement of the disconnected clutch member to prevent re-arrangement of drive to the faster output member during the turn.

Title: Satellite attitude sensor
Inventor: GAMBKE GUNTER
IPC: B64G1/36
Filed: 1984-08-09
Abstract: A zero-seeking optical sensor for an earth satellite reproduces two opposite edges of the earth on a receiver 7. The radiation incident within the respective fields of vision 8a and 8b or 12a and 12b on the receiver 7 are measured, and any displacement of the satellite from a reference attitude can be determined from the difference in radiation energies. In order to be able to determine the attitude of the satellite at different heights, the optical position sensor 6 has mirrors 11 which vary the fields of vision from 8a, 8b to 12a, 12b so that opposite edges of the earth are always observed. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-851334-A (GB)
Abstract: 851,334. Cash registers. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. Feb. 27, 1959 [April 3, 1958], No. 6841/59. Class 106 (1). In a cash register having a manually-operable key-release member 29 and a lock 33 operable by a removable key 34, operation of the latter, when the member 29 is in effective position, locks the machine against release. The member 29 rocks the known machine release shaft 28 counter-clockwise, from its normal control position to a key-releasing position, through a link 42 and cam plate 44 which acts on a stud 47 in an arm 48 on the shaft. A stud 84 in a second arm 53 on the shaft is thus moved beyond a projection 85 of a lever 73. The latter is resiliently coupled by links 68, 69 and a spring 75 to an arm 64 fast with the member 29 and so is urged counter-clockwise when the member 29 is operated. However, such movement is normally blocked by a projection 77 of a lever 79, but the latter is rocked by a cam 83 of the lock 33 when it is operated by its key 34 and when it is in the "Register" position, the lock being carried by a Total Control Lever 30 movable in known manner to six positions. Rocking of the lever 79 in this way allows the lever 73 to rock counterclockwise and so place the projection 85 over the stud 84 to lock the machine release shaft in its key-releasing position and to prevent it rocking clockwise to its machine releasing position. The projection 77 then latches the lever 73 in its blocking position, until the lock 33 is unlocked whereupon the lever 73 will be restored clockwise. The lever 73 has a bi-coloured surface 86 to indicate whether or not the machine is locked.

Filed: 1985-12-19
Abstract: The invention discloses an electronic balance comprising a measured value receiver (23) and an electronic evaluation unit (14) having a digital display (10) and an analog display (6), whereby both displays are controlled by the electronic evaluation unit (14). A digital input keyboard (12) is used for inputting the set weight value of a loading. The electronic evaluation unit (14) contains a memory (15) and an arithmetic unit (16) which permit the values indicated in the digital display (10) and in the analog display (6) to be differentiated against each other by the amount stored in the memory (15) so that during a loading procedure the digital display (10) runs from the negative set weight value to 0g and the analog display (6) from 0% to 100%. The analog display (6) consists of adjacent bars (7) which can be shited in their lightness, whereby the length of the individual bars continuously decreases from 0% to 100% of the set weight value, and continuously increases again over 100% of the set weight value.

Title: Lubrication in a fuel pump
Inventor: KOBAYASHI TADASHI
IPC: F02M41/12
Filed: 1986-02-06
Abstract: A distributor-type fuel injection pump comprises a pump body 1 including an internal lubrication space 5 or 2 to be lubricated with a lubrication oil, a fuel feed pump 34, e.g. of sliding vane type (Figures 3 & 4), disposed in the pump body adjacent to the lubrication space and separated by an oil seal 50a or 50b housed in a sealing chamber 49a, 49b facing to the feed pump, and a pressure release passageway 58 communicating the sealing chamber with the low pressure side of the feed pump. With this construction, the fuel pressure in the sealing chamber is released to the low pressure side of the feed pump through the pressure release passageway 58. As a result, the fuel pressure applied to the oil seal can be maintained low so that the fuel leakage into the lubrication space is minimised.   <IMAGE>

Title: Method of operating radar apparatuses
Inventor: STOVE ANDREW GERALD
IPC: G01S13/34
Filed: 1986-07-23
Abstract: In order to avoid direct break-through from the transmitter portion 1 to the receiver portion 2 of a "continuous-wave" radar apparatus, the transmission and reception channels are periodically enabled and disabled in antiphase by means of switches 6,24. However, this creates "dead" ranges for which a return pulse exactly coincides with a period during which the reception channel is disabled. In order to overcome this, two enable/disable frequencies are used, either in time-multiplex by periodically switching the control inputs 31,32 of the switches between the outputs of two signal generators 39,40 operating at different frequencies, or in frequency-multiplex by employing two frequency channels in the transmitter portion chopped at different rates and two corresponding frequency channels in the receiver portion chopped at the same rates but in antiphase.

Title: Controlled exposure
Inventor: SUZUKI AKIYOSHI
IPC: B23Q7/14
Filed: 1987-08-20
Abstract: A wafer is exposed to an excimer laser beam, the amount of exposure being controlled by using a plurality of pulses of the same preset energy value alone (Figs. 5, 6, not shown) or followed by one or more pulses of lower preset value (Figs. 5, 6, not shown). In the latter case, the required pulse energy of the additional pulse(s) is calculated using photosensor 5b, integrator 6 and comparator 9. The invention substantially overcomes the problem of deviation of individual pulse output from a preset energy value. <IMAGE>
