Patent GB-2108721-A (GB)
Title: Method of controlling selection of tools in a machining center
Inventor: KANEMATSU HIROYUKI
IPC: B23Q3/157
Filed: 1982-10-19
Abstract: The method comprises sorting the required machining into point machining mode, line machining mode and surface machining mode in accordance with the machining shape. Each of the machining modes is classified into a plurality of machining units. A plurality of tool combination lines, each consisting of the names of the tools to be used in each machining unit, as well as the sequence of unit, as well as the sequence of use of such tools, are stored in a tool combination memory. As the operator appoints one of the machining units, the tool combination line corresponding to the appointed machining unit is read out from the tool combination memory so that a series of tools to be used and the sequence of use of such tools are determined automatically within the machine in accordance with the thus read out tool combination line.

Title: Carburettor idling fuel control device
Inventor: BELL JOHN
IPC: F02M3/04
Filed: 1983-07-02
Abstract: A main body (11) has a diaphragm (16) separating the body into two chambers (17, 18) one of which is exposed to the atmosphere through a passage (39) and the other of which is connectible to the carburettor via a coupling (41) to transmit the manifold depression to this chamber.

Title: Ink-jet recording
Inventor: OHBA TAKASHI
IPC: B41J2/05
Filed: 1985-12-23
Abstract: An ink-jet recording apparatus provided with a recording head having an electrothermal energy converter for generating thermal energy to heat and emit a recording ink comprises an emission signal generator to generate an emission signal, a heating signal generator to generate an electrical signal which has a level within a range such as not to emit any liquid droplet and is applied to the electrothermal energy converter, and a temperature sensor to detect a temperature of the liquid existing in the recording head. The heating signal generator is driven on the basis of the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor. With this apparatus, the optimum heating condition is selected and the ink viscosity suitable to form the ink droplets is obtained in a short preheating time after turning on the power supply or after a period of inactivity with the power on. A separate electrothermal converter for the pre-heating, and controller coupling between heater and a cap which movably covers the discharge opening, may also be provided. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2173045-A (GB)
Title: Electric heating elements
Inventor: PICKERING ROGER ALAN
IPC: A47J27/21
Filed: 1986-03-26
Abstract: An electric heating element for a kettle or other water boiling vessel has a tubular housing 7 brazed to the element head 1. The housing 7 contains a spring-loaded plunger 10 retained with the spring 11 under compression by a plug 12 of fusible material. The plunger 10 extends through the element head 1 and, when the fusible material 12 melts in response to the element overheating, it moves under the action of the spring 11 so as to operate a switch or eject the power supply plug of the vessel thereby disabling the element. The fusible material 12 e.g. aluminium is selected to have a melting temperature well above the element temperature at which a conventional dry boil protection control would operate, so that when the element is used with such a control the arrangement of the spring-loaded plunger 10 provides a secondary protection against extreme overheating of the element in the event of failure of the primary control. The plunger 10 is arranged to be non-resettable. <IMAGE>
