Title: Electrical power control systems
IPC: D06F75/26
Filed: 1981-04-03
Abstract: A control system for controlling the supply of electrical power to a load (19) includes a temperature sensor (11) and a temperature dial or setting element (13) operatively connectable to a processor means (10) including a microprocessor. The processor means (10) provides an output signal and operates a load control device (18). The load control device (18) regulates the supply of electrical power from a supply (17) to the load (18) e.g. by means of a triac and a burst-fire system. The sensor (11) is a thermistor and the system is designed to avoid overshoot by adjusting the supplied power in accordance with the rate of change of the sensed temperature and by reducing the applied power as the desired temperature is approached. The system may be applied e.g. to a smoothing iron or to a cooking pan, or to space heating. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2075132-A (GB)
Title: An hydraulic apparatus comprising two pumps
IPC: F04B49/00
Filed: 1981-04-29
Abstract: The hydraulic apparatus has two pumps (10, 11) both of which deliver pressure medium from a reservoir (12) into delivery circuits associated with them. A three-way flow regulating valve (15) through which, if necessary, pressure medium can be delivered through the three-way valve and a connecting line (16) to the delivery circuit (14) of the second pump, is located in the delivery circuit of one of the pumps. In so doing, when a greater amount of pressure medium is required in the second delivery circuit than its pump can deliver, pressure medium can be supplied from the other working circuit through the flow regulating valve (15). That contributes to an energy saving due to a correspondingly smaller design for the second pump (11). <IMAGE>

Title: Superplastic forming
Inventor: HAMILTON C HOWARD
IPC: B21D26/055
Filed: 1981-06-19
Abstract: A method is provided for eliminating internal voids in superplastically forming parts. A blank of material 6 which is capable of being formed superplastically is held opposite a forming surface 16 of a die. The blank is heated to the superplastic forming temperature and pressure 18,20 is applied to both sides of the blank. This pressure is sufficient to prevent the formation of voids. The pressure 18 on the side of the blank farthest from the die surface 16 is then increased to superplastically form the material against the die surface. In a second embodiment, the pressure is applied after the blank has been formed either by maintaining the forming pressure to compress the material between the forming pressure and the reaction of the die, or by applying a fluid pressure to both sides of the part, thereby removing voids by plastic deformation and diffusion. <IMAGE>

Title: Gas scrubbing
Inventor: HOUSE DOUGLAS
IPC: B01D53/18
Filed: 1982-08-12
Abstract: A mixture of gases is scrubbed of gas components soluble in a liquid by mixing the mixture of gases and liquid in a scrubbing unit 1. The liquid is introduced into the unit by a spray 4 which extends through a dome- shaped member 6. The outlet 7 for the scrubbed gas is situated at the periphery of the dome-shaped member. Liquid containing dissolved gas components is removed from the unit through outlet 5. The scrubbed gas is caused to swirl between the outside of the spray of liquid and the interior of the member 6 such that liquid vapour containing dissolved gas components is condensed from the scrubbed gas mixture on the interior surface of the dome-shaped member 6 before the scrubbed gas mixture leaves the unit through the outlet 7. <IMAGE>

Title: Production of oriental-style breading crumbs
Inventor: DARLEY KENNETH STEPHEN
IPC: A23L7/157
Filed: 1983-03-23
Abstract: Oriental-style breading crumbs, useful for application to a variety of fried food products, are formed by a procedure in which a leavened dough is first formed e.g. by a continuous mixing process, the dough is stretched to elongate the pores in the dough, the stretched dough is baked while maintained in an elongated condition, and the baked dough is comminuted to form the crumbs. The Oriental-style breading crumbs which are formed by this procedure may have less fragility and a more uniform size and splinter shape than crumbs produced by prior art procedures.

Title: Protecting against current loading and short-circuiting
Inventor: KELAIDITIS KONSTANTIN
IPC: H01H71/10
Filed: 1983-05-06
Abstract: A main current path (5) can be opened (8) by means of a rapid acting mechanism (7, 8) which responds to short-circuiting; and a less rapid acting mechanism (6) responds to current overloading less than short circuit. Another slow acting mechanism 11 operates switch 12 in a subsidiary current path (9) containing an electrical resistance (10). A further current path (13) has a third switch (14) connected to the first switch (8) in such a way that it closes when the latter is opened and can be opened by a further rapid acting mechanism (15). If, after a short circuit opens 8 (and closes 14), the short circuit is removed by a down line breaker (not shown), then current through 10, 11, 12, 14, 15 opens 14 and recloses 8. If the short circuit is not removed, slow acting switch 11 eventually opens 12 to lock 8 open. A current overload less than short circuit opens switches 12 and 8. <IMAGE>
