Patent GB-2145947-A (GB)
Title: Method of manufacturing a component part, and more particularly a rolling bearing race ring, provided with a split gap
Inventor: HOFFMANN KLAUS-JURGEN
IPC: B23K26/00
Filed: 1984-07-23
Abstract: A homogeneously hardened or depth hardened component part is formed with a split gap. In order to obviate time- and cost-intensive metal cutting operations that serve for influencing the path of the split gap, prior to the splitting operation, one of the surfaces (4) of the component part (1) is subjected, at least along a part of the intended path (5) of the split gap and within confined limits transversely thereto, to the action of an energy-rich radiation such as a laser beam or electron beam. Tensile stress, to cause splitting, is provided by a punch (3). For a peripheral split, a groove may extend for part of the intended splitting path, with radiation applied in the groove. A wedge splitter is used against groove side walls. <IMAGE>

Title: Underwater target tracking system
Inventor: SMITH SIDNEY GEORGE
IPC: G01S15/02
Filed: 1984-10-17
Abstract: At least three sonobuoys 1 - 3 operate actively in a ranging mode and are deployed around the target 4. The sonobuoys transmit on demand from an aircraft transceiver 6 ranging sonar pulses and detect their respective target echo pulses. The pulse transmission times from the sonobuoys are adjusted such that they arrive simultaneously at the target or in a pre-determined time sequence. The ranging pulses are received by the torpedo 7 and its heading is adjusted so that the difference between the times of reception of the ranging pulses approaches zero or the pre-determined time sequence. <IMAGE>

Title: A vibration device, especially for a smooth roller apparatus
Inventor: KALTENEGGER BENNO
IPC: E02D3/074
Filed: 1985-05-15
Abstract: In a vibration device 1 that may be employed as an independent entity or in a smooth roller apparatus, two rotatable eccentric weights 12 and 15 are angularly adjustable relative to one another, the chosen position determining the extent of the vibration which the device will produce. One eccentric weight 12 is supported on a power driven shaft 2,2a and the other eccentric weight 15 on a hollow shaft 13 which is arranged concentrically around the first shaft 2,2a. The first shaft 2,2a is coupled to the second hollow shaft 13 by steeply pitched thread means 22 so that the shaft 13 can be turned angularly relative to the shaft 2,2a, together with the corresponding eccentric weight 15, against the action of a frictional muff or the like 19. Advantageously, the second shaft 13 surrounds, and is supported by, the portion 2a of the first shaft 2.

Title: Adjustable wrench
Inventor: STAFFORD MARK ANTHONY
IPC: B25B7/10
Filed: 1986-03-06
Abstract: An adjustable wrench includes a pair 1,2 of elongate members each having a jaw surface and being secured together to resist separation whilst permitting relative pivoting if required and allowing displacement between predetermined maximum and minimum jaw separation. One of the elongate members 1 has a slot 11 including parts of enlarged width and a coupling member 10 is provided to connect the elongate members by passing through this slot. The coupling member has two different profiled cross-sections one of which can be seated within a part of the slot having enlarged width and the other profile allowing displacement of the coupling member 10 along the length of the slot including those parts of enlarged width. The arrangement provides for adjustment to jaw separation by use of one hand only and without the need to observe the wrench when making an adjustment. By suitable construction of coupling member unnecessary loss of coupling parts can be avoided. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2193815-A (GB)
Title: Thin film devices
Inventor: GIRLING IAN ROBERT
IPC: G02F1/19
Filed: 1986-08-13
Abstract: A thin film device includes a first electrode structure (3) comprising a silver layer, on which is deposited a thin film (5) of a solid electrically- insulating material, such as hemicyanine. The film is deposited by the Langmuir-Blodgett process. A second electrode structure (7) is provided, on the opposite side of the film to the first electrode structure, so that an electric field can be applied to the film by application of a relatively high voltage (11) between the electrode structures. To avoid electrical breakdown of the film, the electrode structures are spaced apart by insulating spacers (9). The device may be incorporated in an addressable light modulator in which the first electrode is attached to a glass prism (1). When the voltage is applied to the device, the dielectric constant of the thin film changes, and this results in a shift in the surface plasmon resonance of the silver layer. The intensity of light of a predetermined wavelength reflected from the silver layer can therefore be modulated by the applied voltage. <IMAGE>

Title: Valve
Inventor: KELSEY CHRISTOPHER GEORGE
IPC: F16K47/04
Filed: 1987-08-12
Abstract: A fluid control valve has two cylinders 24, 26 arranged parallel to each other with their surfaces in contact. The cylinders are rotated in opposite directions such that their contact surfaces move in the same direction. At least one of the cylinders has a groove formed in its surface extending partially around the circumference and varying in depth along its extent to define an aperture for fluid to flow through. This aperture can be varied in size by rotating the cylinders thereby controlling the flow rate of fluid through the valve. The cylinders are formed with gear teeth on their surfaces which intermesh with each other to provide a seal between the cylinders. The cylinders are preferably rotated by engaged pinion gears driven by suitable drive means. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2210746-A (GB)
Title: Temperature controlled crystal oscillator
Inventor: BROWN DAVID EDWARD
IPC: H03L1/02
Filed: 1987-10-08
Abstract: The crystal 2 of the oscillator is in a temperature-controlled oven 5 which is run at a temperature below the maximum temperature of the range of ambient temperature to which the oscillator is to be subjected. For example if the intended maximum is 105 DEG C, the oven is run at 80 DEG C. Hence as the temperature approaches and exceeds the oven temperature the oven temperature control circuit loses control. The system has a sensor associated with the crystal which controls an electronic compensation circuit 34 which maintains the oscillator frequency constant when the ambient temperature exceeds the oven temperature. By running the oven at a lower temperature ageing of the oscillator components is reduced.
