Patent GB-2137017-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to discharge lamps
Inventor: ABEYWICKRAMA MILROY GAMANI
IPC: H01J61/32
Filed: 1984-02-28
Abstract: The invention is an improvement of a folded fluorescent lamp 1 in which a tube is folded in a plane to surround a central housing 5 with the ends 4 of the tube re-entrant to be received by the housing. One of the tube ends has a long exhaust tip 13, within the housing, for mercury vapour pressure control. The housing is internally divided by a partition 21 through which the long exhaust tip 13, but not the tube ends 4, protrudes. This keeps the cool spot in the tip at a lower temperature than would otherwise be the case. <IMAGE>

Title: Production of melamine
Inventor: THOMAS ROGER EDWARD
IPC: C07D251/60
Filed: 1985-01-04
Abstract: Solid melamine is obtained by quenching liquid melamine with a liquid, preferably ammonia. Thus, molten urea is supplied to a reactor maintained at high temperature (700 to 800 DEG F.) and high pressure (1700 to 2200 psig) whereby melamine, CO2, and NH3 are formed. The reactor effluent stream is transferred to a gas separator where CO2, NH3 and melamine vapour are separated from liquid melamine and the gases are cycled to a scrubber unit for scrubbing with molten urea reactant to remove the melamine. The melamine liquid product is transferred from the gas separator to a cooling tank where the liquid melamine is immediately contacted with, or quenched with a liquid, preferably liquid ammonia. The melamine separates as a dry powder which requires no further processing, having a typical purity of 96 to 99.5%. <IMAGE>

Title: Refrigeration control
Inventor: ZINSMEYER THOMAS M
IPC: F25B49/02
Filed: 1987-02-02
Abstract: A microcomputer system 16-19 receives electrical input signals indicative of an operator selected temperature setpoint for water entering evaporator 5 and refrigeration system operating parameters indicative of water temperature entering the evaporator at 15 and of water temperature leaving the evaporator at 13. The microcomputer processes these input signals to generate a leaving water temperature control point which is a function of the entering water temperature setpoint and the temperature drop across the evaporator. The capacity of the system is thereby controlled by adjustment of vanes 12 to match the refrigeration load. <IMAGE>

Title: Hood top or bonnet for a motor vehicle
Inventor: HENWOOD LAWRENCE MICHAEL DESMO
IPC: B62D25/10
Filed: 1987-04-14
Abstract: A hood top (1) for a motor vehicle comprises an outer panel (2), an inner panel (13) secured to the outer panel (2), and a striker (20) for a latch mechanism (30) secured to the inner panel (13) towards the front of the hood top by welded joints (14,25). The striker (20) and the part of the inner panel (13) to which it is secured are so disposed relative to the outer panel (2) that when the hood top (1) is closed a substantial proportion of the reaction to the closing forces on the hood top (1) is transmitted to the welded joints (14,15) as shear forces. Since welded joints are capable of withstanding greater shear forces than compressive or tensile forces, the required durability of the connection between the striker (20) and the inner panel (13) can be achieved without the necessity for additional reinforcements or complex shaping of the inner panel (13).
