Title: Germicidal and disinfectant composition
Inventor: DI NOLA FABIO
IPC: A01N33/12
Filed: 1983-12-12
Abstract: A germicidal and disinfectant composition comprises:     (a) a germicidal cationic surface- active agent   (b) an antiseptic agent   (c) a non-ionic surface active agent   The germicidal cationic surface active agent is preferably an alkyl dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride of the general formula   <IMAGE> wherein R is an alkyl group having 8 to 18 carbon atoms (i.e. C8H17 to C18H37). The antiseptic agent is preferably chlorexidine (C22H30Cl2). The composition preferably comprises a carrier, such as silica gel. The invention enables the rate of release of germicidal and disinfectant agent, in use of the composition, to remain substantially constant for a period of time even though the amount of germicidal and disinfectant agent in the composition is decreasing.

Title: Braking system, method of braking and rail vehicle incorporating the braking system
Inventor: GAYFER JOHN ROLAND
IPC: B61H7/04
Filed: 1984-12-07
Abstract: A rail vehicle, primarily for use in mines, has a spring-applied track brake (14) and an hydraulic cylinder (16) for withdrawing the brake from the track. A valve (21) controlled by a pilot valve (25) connects the chamber (17) of the cylinder (16) with an accumulator (22) so that fluid can be discharged rapidly from the cylinder without reducing the pressure in the cylinder to atmospheric pressure to lightly apply the brake element (14) to the track 10. To apply full spring brake force the accumulator is exhausted to a low pressure reservoir (20) through a duct (23) and restrictor (24) or through the pilot valve (25) and a restrictor (26). The duct (23) or restrictor (26) may be omitted. <IMAGE>

Title: Polymer compositions detectable in water
Inventor: GOULDING DR JOHN
IPC: C02F5/12
Filed: 1985-01-09
Abstract: Water treatment, e.g. antiscaling, polymer compositions are marked or labelled with activated groups which are attached to the polymer chain backbone by carbon-carbon bonds. These activated groups are subjected to colour forming reactions, e.g. by reaction with a diazonium aromatic compound, thus enabling the polymers to be detected at very low concentrations in water.
Patent GB-2157345-A (GB)
Title: Mud pulse telemetry tool
Inventor: SCOTT FLOYD L
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 1985-04-11
Abstract: A mud pulse telemetry tool utilizes a needle valve (165) to generate pressure pulses in a column of drilling fluid. A sensor sends a digital signal to a solenoid, (47) which moves a plunger (53, 77). Movement of the plunger (53, 77) changes a spool valve (69) to direct high pressure drilling fluid to a selected side of a piston (119). Low pressure drilling fluid on the other side of the piston (119) is exhausted to the annulus. Movement of the piston (119) moves a needle (161) into or out of a needle valve (165) to increase or decrease restriction to the downward flow of the drilling fluid. The coded pressure pulses thus created are decoded by equipment at the surface.   <IMAGE>

Title: Simultaneously desulfurizing and degassing steels
Inventor: WILSON WILLIAM G
IPC: B01F5/02
Filed: 1986-11-06
Abstract: Sulfur and hydrogen are removed from steel by pouring the steel free of slag into a vertical tube (2) installed in a ladle (1) the tube extending from the bottom to the top of the ladle. A lime based slag with a large capacity to absorb sulfur is added into the tube; ferro-alloys and metals which are known to enhance desulfurization and are necessary to achieve the specified composition of the steel are also added into the tube. A stream of inert gas is introduced into the bottom of the tube through a porous plug (3) as a means for hydrogen removal. The tube concentrates the stirring action of the inert gas and saves the ladle lining from the erosive action of the line based slag. <IMAGE>

Title: Protective circuit for the field coil of an electromagnetic flow meter
Inventor: HANSEN HENNING MAX
IPC: H02H9/00
Filed: 1986-11-27
Abstract: The field coil 1 is disposed in an explosion risk zone 5 and is energised by an A.C. pulse source 2 in a non-risk zone 6. A current sinking circuit 21 is fixedly connected to the coil 1 and operates to present a low impedance at the beginning of any current pulse and to increase its impedance thereafter whereby in the event of an interruption in the supply lines to the coil, eg. due to cutting by pliers, the circuit 21 acts to limit the amplitude of the voltage induced by the inductance of the coil 1 whereby sparking and explosion are avoided. The circuit 21 may comprise two series connected Miller integrators 22, 23, one for positive and one for negative pulses, with inverse connected diodes 24, 25 and a common integrating capacitor (C3), (Fig. 5). Two parallel-connected current sinking circuits 21, 121 may be provided. To prevent the pulse source 2 being overloaded by the circuits 21, 121 each time the current polarity changes, each supply lead 3, 4 in the non-risk zone 6 has current limiting circuits 8, 108, 9, 109 for negative and positive pulses each with an inverse connected diode 10, 110, 11, 111. The current limiting circuits include capacitors (C1), (C2), (C 101), (C102) so that they also limit rate of change of current. Zener diode voltage limiting circuits 12, 112 are also provided in the non-risk zone 6. …<IMAGE>…

Title: Athermalised optical beam expander
Inventor: PALMER JOHN MALCOLM
IPC: G02B27/00
Filed: 1987-03-13
Abstract: An optical substantially afocal beam expander has a negative lens element (1) spaced from a positive lens element (2). The lens elements are of different materials with respective coefficients of refractive index change with respect to temperature such that the effect of a temperature change on one element is at least partially compensated by the effect of the temperature change on the other element. The beam expander is therefore substantially athermalised with respect to afocality.
