Patent GB-2246453-A (GB)
Title: Air conditioner control
Inventor: MIYAZAKI KOICHI
IPC: F24F11/02
Filed: 1991-06-27
Abstract: An air conditioner has a single outdoor unit 6 and a plurality of indoor units 10a, 10b and 10c. Each unit has an associated controller. The outdoor controller receives operation mode selection signals from the indoor controllers uses a predetermined operation mode priority order to determine which indoor unit(s) to operate. An operation permission signal is sent to the controller(s) of the determined indoor unit(s) and an operation standby signal is sent to the controller(s) of the other indoor unit(s) awaiting operation. If the indoor unit permitted to operate ceases operation, a new indoor unit is determined by again referring to the operation priority order. If the old indoor unit(s) operated for less than a preset time, then the newly determined indoor unit(s) are operated by means of a new operation permission signal. Otherwise a confirmation signal is sent to the newly determined indoor unit(s) already at standby. If the indoor unit receiving the confirmation signal sends a response signal indicating that the indoor unit is still required to operate, then an operation permission signal is given to the new indoor unit. Operation of a unit on the basis of commands which no longer apply is prevented by this arrangement. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1991-09-27
Abstract: A railway points de-freezer system consists of a hydraulic hose circuit (J) running from a tank (H) containing a water/ antifreeze solution, heated by one or more immersion heaters (G). The solution is pumped by high pressure pump (F) through the hose circuit to warm the points area (D). The system is incorporated with a temperature switch (E) which activates the system when the temperature falls to a specified point. The same temperature switch will automatically stop the system when temperature rises. Hoses are attached to the rails (both sides if necessary). This heats the rails in the vicinity of the points. This system also allows for one or more sets of points to be incorporated into the one pump and tank. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2272521-A (GB)
Title: Wasteweir for offset lithographic printing press
Inventor: CLARK ANDREW
IPC: B41F7/32
Filed: 1992-10-31
Abstract: This invention relies on the ability of water and similar fluids or solutions to conduct electricity. In offset lithographic printing it is essential that rollers are repeatedly able to pick up water from a flat bed reservoir or water pan and machine failure can ensue if the water surface falls below a predetermined level. Ordinarily to prevent failure the level of the water is sensed and the machine shutdown before it falls too far. However, advantageously it is usual to have water constantly recirculating between the pan and an overflow and this invention permits the sensing of the overflow condition, ie: if no water overflows then the machine can be shut down before the water level has in fact fallen to danger levels. To sense the overflow condition an annular wasteweir plug (5) seats in the overflow pipe of the water pan has a upper weir lip or edge surface (27) over which water is able to cascade into an overflow are 21. An electrode (32) in the form of an annular ring seated in a portion of the bore (21) is brought into electrical contact with a second electrode (33) by the overflowing water. The electrodes (32, 33) are connected to monitoring apparatus by respective portions of a coaxial cable (22). Consequently, by monitoring the presence or absence of electrical contact between the electrodes it is possible to monitor the overflow condition of the wasteweir and shut down machinery or sound an alarm before the water level in the water pan actually falls. <IMAGE>
