Patent GB-2101966-A (GB)
Title: Container for heating or cooling fluids
Inventor: AID JAMES D
IPC: A61M1/16
Filed: 1982-05-10
Abstract: A flexible container 100 in which a liquid eg blood may be stored or through which it may be passed, whilst being heated or cooled, is made of two thin sheets of polymeric material which define a central chamber, and has tapered sleeves defined by welds 131, 133, 132 and 134 at each side of the chamber. The sleeves are intended to receive the legs of a U-shaped frame which holds the container flat whilst it is inserted in a heating or cooling apparatus. The chamber is subdivided into channels and has an inlet and outlet. The apparatus employs thermally conductive elements which are spaced to receive the container, and a thermoelectric device contacting at least one of these elements, for heating or cooling. <IMAGE>

Title: Impovements in or relating to combined synchronous and asynchronous machines
Inventor: BEISSE ACHIM
IPC: H02K21/46
Filed: 1983-04-28
Abstract: Three rotors disposed in axial succession on a common shaft are mounted to cooperate with a common stator having an annular laminated core coaxial with the shaft on which a three-phase stator winding is wound. The rotors are of two kinds, the middle one being of one kind and the outer ones of the other kind. These two kinds of rotors are, namely, the laminated core kind having a short-circuited squirrel cage conductor system and the synchronous having shell-shaped or ring-shaped permanent magnets mounted on a soft iron yoke which is in turn carried by a pierced hub of nonmagnetizable material. The squirrel cage rotor or rotors provide high starting torque, and the synchronous rotors provide good synchronous torque and a synchronous nominal speed. When the synchronous rotor is in the middle, the stator core may be subdivided into three parts to facilitate cooling.

Title: Chapter searching method and system for record medium
Inventor: NONOMUA TADAO
IPC: G11B7/085
Filed: 1983-09-14
Abstract: A chapter searching method and system for a record medium having chapter number data and chapter stop data indicating the ends of the chapters. Chapter number data is first searched by coarse adjustment means and then searched by fine adjustment means which are adapted respectively coarsely and finely to adjust the relative position, in a direction perpendicular to a record track, of a pickup and the record medium. During coarse adjustment, when chapter number data, which is being reproduced, reaches the desired chapter number data and a chapter stop data corresponding to the desired chapter number data is detected, driving of the coarse adjustment means is stopped. During fine adjustment, a reproducing operation is carried out at a predetermined high speed, to move the pickup to a position which is immediately before the position of the desired chapter number data, and thereafter a normal reproducing operation is carried out. <IMAGE>

Title: Two-stage pivoting of aircraft door
Inventor: DE HAAN FRANS WILLEM
IPC: B64C1/14
Filed: 1983-10-12
Abstract: Aircraft door of the type which during the flight is pressed all around against the door case under influence of the cabin pressure. During opening and closing the door moves by means of a hinge mechanism with two mutually parallel rotational axes and an intermediate hinge part, one of the rotational axis being connected to the door and the other being connected to the door case. When the door is opened during a first motion phase the intermediate hinge part carries out a rotational movement around the rotational axis connected to the door case whereby simultaneously the angle between the door and the intermediate hinge part is decreased, and thereafter in a second motion phase the intermediate hinge part carries out a rotational movement in the opposite direction around the rotational axis connected to the door case. When the door is closed these movements are carried out with reversed rotational directions and in reverse order. A hydraulic or mechanical transmission mechanism is present in the hinge construction coupled with the two rotational axes for coordinating the rotation around both rotational axes in the first motion phase.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electronic musical instruments
Inventor: LANGFORD TIMOTHY
IPC: G10H1/34
Filed: 1984-01-31
Abstract: Conventional electronic musical instruments provide operating controls which are set at fixed mutual spacings which can restrain synchronisation of the movements of an operator. The present invention provides apparatus by which the mutual spacing of the switches can be varied and, in one form, in which the operation of the switch can be independent of any fixed position relative to the instrument. In one embodiment there is provided a ring (10) having an electrical contact (12) provided thereon. The ring is worn on a finger tip of an operator who taps his fingers at any position on a common contact sheet, in order to operate the switches. Alternatively, the ring may incorporate both of the switch contacts so that the switch is operated by simply pressing on any sufficiently rigid surface. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-845563-A (GB)
Abstract: 845,563. Igniting burners. HORSTMANN GEAR CO. Ltd. Jan. 17, 1958 [Feb. 11, 1957], No. 4604/57. Class 75(3). [Also in Group XXIX] An ignition system for gas burners comprises a transformer 4 energising igniting filaments 2, one for each burner, connected in series and an electromagnetic valve 6 activated by the current through the filaments and controlling the flow of gas to the burners. The electromagnetic valve is in series with the filaments but in a modification it is energised directly from the mains by a relay which is in series with the filaments. Each burner is also controlled by a manual gas tap, and a switch may be combined with each gas tap and arranged so that when the tap is closed the switch short circuits the filament for igniting the associated burner. The electromagnetic valve 6 comprises a winding 13 and an armature 14 connected to the valve 6. The valve can be opened manually by pressing a button 16 to cause a pivoted lever 17 to push the valve off its seat. A projection 18 on the lever 17 then locks on the edge of the valve to prevent its closure. When the valve is opened further by the armature 14 the lever 17 is freed.
