Patent GB-2120474-A (GB)
Title: Standby power supply system
Inventor: CROWE JOHN EDWARD
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 1983-05-09
Abstract: The system includes two inverters 4a, 7 driven simultaneously in synchronism by a pulse width modulated controller 6a. Each inverter has an output winding A, B which forms a primary winding of a transformer system 7, having a plurality of d.c. outputs. Each inverter also includes isolating diodes D1 to D4 responsive, via the transformer core T2, to the voltage applied by the other inverter. In normal operation, the main power supply output reverse biasses the diodes D3, D4 of the second inverter 7 which is thereby held ineffective, but should this output fall below a predetermined value the reverse bias on the battery stand-by circuit is automatically reduced so that the stand-by system provides the required output and, again via the transformer core T2, reverse biasses the diodes D1, D2 of the first inverter 4a to hold the first inverter ineffective. <IMAGE>

Title: Mechanical handling apparatus incorporating raisable rollers
Inventor: COOK KENNETH
IPC: B65G13/12
Filed: 1983-07-06
Abstract: Mechanical handling apparatus 1 for handling of a load over a support surface into which the apparatus 1 is set, comprises an elongate channel shaped body 3 in which is housed in an internal carrier 4, a plurality of rotatable members in the form of rollers 5 spaced apart axially over the length of the body 3, and means to raise and lower the rollers relative to a load support surface 6 of the body, in use flush with the surface, through a gap 7 in the load support surface 6 which extends iongitudinally of the body 3. The load support surface 3 and the gap 7 are defined by inturned flanges 6 of the body 3, the gap 7 being defined between free edges of the flanges 6 and having a width which is just greater than the maximum lateral extent or width of a roller 5. The gap is also narrow enough for it to be bridged by a wheel of a fork-lift or other truck which might pass over the surface so that there is no risk of the wheel becoming jammed in the gap 7. <IMAGE>

Title: Transformer on-load tap selector
Inventor: WELCH ROBERT JOHN
IPC: H01H9/00
Filed: 1983-10-14
Abstract: A transformer on-load tap selector comprises fixed contacts 301, 302, 303 and a wiper arm 33 carrying a main contact 34 movable between them. The wiper arm supports a pair of contact carrying arms which are separable during a tap changing movement, each arm carrying a pair of arcing contacts 37, 38, the first contact 39, 41 of each pair being connected to a common wiper arm terminal 36 and by way of a bridging impedance 43, 44 to the second contact 40, 42 of the pair. The second contacts 40, 42 engage with a fixed arcing contact 312 and each first contact 39, 41 engages with the second contact 40, 42 of the other pair so that a direct current path exists between the fixed arcing contact 312 and the common terminal 36. To change taps, the main contact 34 is broken and one, (leading), pair of contacts is moved to an adjacent tap. Transitional impedance paths from the adjacent fixed contacts to the common terminal 36 exist by way of the second contacts 40 and 42 which act as conventional transitional arcing contacts until the four- contact combination is re- established. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2152848-A (GB)
Title: Spray line marker
Inventor: PARTINGTON GORDON STEWART
IPC: B05B12/22
Filed: 1983-12-23
Abstract: This invention provides apparatus adapted to mark a line as it is moved upon or adjacent a surface (8), wherein marker fluid is sprayed through an aperture (2) onto the surface, the aperture being defined by one or more channels (1) adapted to conduct fluid sprayed into the channels to a location upon the line (9). The one or more channels may form a mask defining the edges of the line. Marker fluid impinging upon the channels is not permitted to drip or contact the surface at the edges of the line. The edges of the line are therefore sharply defined by the edges of the aperture. Delivery of fluid from the channels to the line is economical and keeps the apparatus free from encrustations of dried fluid. The apparatus may not therefore require frequent cleaning. The width of the line marked upon the surface is preferably dependent on the separation of the channels. The latter do not need to be located near to the surface. <IMAGE>

Title: Semiconductor device and fabrication method thereof
Inventor: USAMI TOMOTSU
IPC: H01L23/485
Filed: 1984-01-26
Abstract: A conductive layer 6 formed on the insulated (5) surface of a semiconductor body 1 is covered by an insulating layer 7 having a hole through which an aluminium pad 80 extends to contact conductor 6. A wire 10 is bonded to pad 80 so that it covers the site of the hole in layer 7 and the exposed area of aluminium pad 80 surrounding the bond is protected against corrosion by a layer 12 of aluminium oxide. The wire 10 is also of aluminium (as in the conductive layer 6) and has a protective layer 13 of aluminium oxide. Oxide layers 12 and 13 are produced by the thermal oxidation of the exposed aluminium and to provide greater corrosion protection layer 12 merges with a further aluminium oxide layer 90 which underlies a passivating layer 27 of PSG. <IMAGE>

Title: Drain constructions
Inventor: FERNS DEREK
IPC: E01C11/22
Filed: 1984-07-03
Abstract: A drain construction comprises two angle-section wall members (10, 11) which are held apart by spring spacers to define a drainage slot, and a plastics pipe 12 which is slit along its length and the edges of the pipe along each side of the slit engaged in grooves extending along the wall members. The upper flanges of the wall members are flush with the ground surface so that water can drain from the surface by flowing down through the slot between the members and into the pipe 12. The spring spacers separating the wall members permit the wall members to move relatively to one another as a result of thermal expansion or contraction, or other movement, of the surrounding material. <IMAGE>

Title: Door closer
Inventor: WHERTON IVOR JOHN
IPC: E05F3/10
Filed: 1985-11-12
Abstract: A concealed door closer has a compression spring (14) tending to close the door and a piston and cylinder fluid damper (16, 17) to control closure. An anti-jack-knifing three part linkage (28, 29, 30) is non-rotatably hooked (40) to a door case, 90 DEG  door opening reveals only one link (30). Wider opening causes a partial void in the enlarged cylinder chamber equivalent to the displacement volume of the piston rod (18) in the other cylinder chamber, which gives initial undamped closure between about 175 DEG  and 90 DEG . Final undamped travel to latch the door is pre-set by rotation of the linkage (28, 29, 30), the cylinder (16) and the piston (17) via its sealing means (19). A fixed nut (21) in the housing (12) has free-running threaded engagement with the piston rod (18), to move the piston (17) linearly when it rotates and to pre-set its position relative to fluid by-pass means (34). The damping orifice in the piston contains a polygonal-section wire to throttle fluid flow. <IMAGE>
