Title: Prepayment water metering systems
IPC: G07F15/00
Filed: 1992-06-26
Abstract: A prepayment water supply system comprises a prepayment unit having a receptacle for receiving a prepayment token in the form of a key, and a solenoid-operated valve controlled by the prepayment unit for controlling the water supply. The key has a memory containing credit and identification data, and the prepayment unit closes the valve when the credit represented by the credit data is exhausted.

Title: Analytical method and apparatus
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 1992-07-28
Abstract: Method and electrodes (individual or composite) for detection and measurement of hydrogen peroxide by electrolytic analysis (especially amperometrically), in which the electrode has a surface coating of selective permeability formed by electrolytically oxidising a phenolic compound (especially phenol itself or dopamine). This is especially applicable to examination of biological samples, e.g. blood or serum. The electrode is preferably platinum, and during the coating procedure and/or use may be surrounded with a permeable membrane (e.g. polymer, and especially a polycarbonate 0.03 to 0.05 (my)m thick). The properties of the coating may be controlled, e.g. by the applied voltage for the oxidation, and is usually 0.1 (my)m or less in thickness. One form of assembly uses such a coated electrode as anode, with a surrounding cathode and a membrane retaining an electrolyte, preferably buffered. The hydrogen peroxide may be present as such or produced by an enzyme system.
Patent GB-9313310-D0 (GB)
Title: A baton projectile
IPC: F42B12/74
Filed: 1993-06-28
Abstract: A baton projectile comprises a relatively thin case 1 of low density polyethylene, and a core 2 of a soft material such as a thermoplastic gel modified rubber. An air gap 4 is optionally formed at the front end of the baton projectile between the core 2 and the case 1. Upon impact with a target at acceptable, low level, forces the impact shockwave does not cause unacceptable injury to the target. At higher impact forces, the case 1 ruptures and the core 2 spreads out to radially disperse the excess impact energy and to present a larger impact area to the target so that the risk of unacceptable penetration and trauma injury to the target is reduced. <IMAGE>

Title: Electroluminescent silicon device
IPC: H05B33/12
Filed: 1993-08-19
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB92/00547 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 8, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 8, 1993 PCT Filed Mar. 25, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/19084 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 29, 1992An electroluminescent silicon device (10) includes a silicon structure (12) which comprises a bulk silicon layer (14) and a porous silicon layer (16). The porous layer (16) has merged pores (20) which define silicon quantum wires (18). The quantum wires (18) have a surface passivation layer (22). The porous layer (16) exhibits photoluminescence under ultra-violet irradiation. The porous layer (16) is pervaded by a conductive material such as an electrolyte (24) or a metal (48). The conductive material (24) ensures that an electrically continuous current path extends through the porous layer (16); it does not degrade the quantum wire surface passivation (22) sufficiently to render the quantum wires (18) non-luminescent, and it injects minority carriers into the quantum wires. An electrode (26) contacts the conductive material (24) and the bulk silicon layer has an Ohmic contact (28). When biased the electrode (26) is the anode and the silicon structure (12) is the cathode. Electroluminescence is then observed in the visible region of the spectrum.

Patent GB-9406886-D0 (GB)
Title: Hydrostatic release device
IPC: B63B22/14
Filed: 1994-04-07
Abstract: The application describes a hydrostatic release device, suitable for releasing life-saving equipment carried on a ship or aircraft when the ship or aircraft sinks or ditches in the sea. A change in ambient pressure is detected by a pressure sensor (24) which opens a liquid-filled chamber (12) and thereby releases a hydrostatic pressure behind a reciprocable member (14). This reciprocable member (14) then allows release of a release means (40,42). The release means can comprise a link prevented from longitudinal movement by an abutment (46,48) and normally constrained against lateral movement by the reciprocable member (14). Thus removal of the reciprocable member (14) away from the link enables transverse movement of the link clear of the fixed abutment. Such an arrangement provides a particularly simple and inexpensive release means. <IMAGE>

Such polymeric stabilizer compounds are obtained by means of a process, which provides:   (a) the polymerization of a diene, by the technique of the living polymers, under the influence of alkyl metal-alkyl or alkyl metal-aryl catalysts, to yield a polydiene bearing on its chain end a terminal metal atom; (b) the reaction of said metal-bearing polydiene with a sterically hindered aminic compound, bearing in its molecule an electrophilic group, in particular a carbonyl group, reactive towards said metal of the metal-bearing polydiene; (c) the catalytic hydrogenation of the polydiene bearing said sterically hindered aminic function at its chain end.   The so-obtained compounds are particularly useful in the stabilization of polypropylene towards the U.V. light degrading action.

Abstract: A method of attaching a female element having an annular riveting portion to a panel and the installation apparatus. The method includes driving a punch through the female element into a panel supported on a die member forming an unsupported cone-shaped panel portion in the cavity of the die member. The punch includes an axially extending piercing end which pierces a small opening in the cone-shaped panel portion and an arcuate drawing portion which is driven against and through the panel opening, enlarging the panel opening. The annular riveting portion of the female element is then driven into the cone-shaped panel portion and through the panel opening, drawing the panel portion into a tubular shape engaging the external surface of the riveting portion. Finally, the riveting portion is driven against a center post of the die member, radially outwardly deforming the free end of the riveting portion and forming a mechanical interlock with the tubular panel portion. In the preferred embodiment of the die member, the center post includes an axial bore and is spring biased through an opening in the bottom of the die cavity to receive the slug pierced from the panel by the punch. The center post is then resiliently biased downwardly to mate with the die cavity during radial deformation of the riveting portion of the female element.
