Patent GB-2314934-A (GB)
Title: Localised NMR spectroscopy
Inventor: HENNIG JUERGEN
IPC: G01R33/483
Filed: 1997-06-27
Abstract: A method for localized NMR spectroscopy having a sequence of radio frequency (RF) pulses for excitation and refocussing of spins in metabolites under investigation in an investigation volume, wherein the excitation is effected through an RF pulse of narrow bandwidth in the presence of a slice selection gradient, as well as, if required, an additional limitation of the investigation volume through utilization of refocussing pulses of narrow bandwidth in the presence of mutually orthogonal slice selection gradients, is characterized in that a read-out time te desired for signal production comprises an n-fold repetition of a partial sequence of RF pulses and, if required, gradient switchings at a time separation tcp2 with respect to each other, wherein a refocussing of the spins is effected within each of these refocussing time intervals using a refocussing pulse. In this fashion, loss of useful signal due to background is largely avoided so that the full intensity of multiplet signals can be observed with echo times of 20-30ms in proton spectra with the wide signals of rapidly decaying substances having died off.

Title: Control of the engagement of a friction clutch in series with a friction gearing
Inventor: SALECKER MICHAEL
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 1995-02-21
Abstract: The engagement pressure of a friction clutch 601 in series with a variable-ratio friction gear 610 is controlled, together with the engagement force in the friction gear, such that the friction clutch and not the friction gearing will slip when torque shocks occur. The engagement forces in both clutch and gearing are controlled in dependence on the the transmitted torque. The friction gearing can be either a pair of pulleys interconnected by a belt 604 or can have members in rolling frictional contact. The clutch may be after the friction gearing rather than before it.

Title: Earth auger
Inventor: WEBB PETER STANLEY
IPC: E21B10/44
Filed: 1998-09-09
Abstract: An earth auger designed to provide triaxial compression of soil comprises a core 1 tapered radially outwardly from a lower end 2 to an intermediate point 3 along its length, and a spiral flight 6 extending over at least part of that length. The spiral flight 6 progressively increases in radial width (q) and/or thickness (r) from the lower end 2 upwards. Preferably the core 1 above the intermediate point 3 tapers radially inward until the radius is appropriate for a tubular shaft 5. Also, the flight 6 can continue beyond the intermediate point reducing in diameter and/or thickness. It is preferred that the two oppositely tapered parts are symmetrical about the intermediate point 3. The core 1 may be hollow and may have a hinged or sacrificial end section 7 from where concrete can be extruded to back fill the hole as the auger is removed.

Title: Vertical form fill and seal packaging machines with optional use of stripping bars
Inventor: DAVISON CLIVE
IPC: B65B9/20
Filed: 1996-03-29
Abstract: A vertical form fill and seal packaging machine has stripping bars (40) which can be parked in inoperative positions. It comprises a pair of sealing jaws for forming horizontal seals across the tubular packaging material at regular intervals and a product control device comprising a conveyor arrangement on each said side of the path. The conveyor arrangements are mounted separately from and laterally of the sealing jaws and carry respective parallel stripping bars (40) movable along continuous paths by said conveyor arrangements such that the stripping bars cooperatively sweep downwardly past and on opposite sides of the packaging material to ensure that product being packaged drops down past the sealing jaws before the jaws act to form a seal. The arrangement is such that said stripping bars (40) have respective parked positions (40A, 40B, 40C, 40D) in which they can be parked so as to permit operation of the machine without stripping. Product catching rolls (60) may also be provided to prevent product dropping into the seal area before sealing has been accomplished. The rolls (60) may be carried by the same conveyors as the stripping bars (40) or by separate conveyors; in the latter case, the sealing jaws, bars (40) and rolls (60) may be driven respectively by three independent motors which are electronically controlled with respect to one another.

Title: Fast-path location and selection of hypertext links
Inventor: BATES CARY LEE
IPC: G06F3/0485
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: An apparatus and method allow a web user to select a web page, then quickly and efficiently locate and select any hypertext link on the web page. A web user simply navigates to a web page and scrolls through the web page using the slider 414 on a scroll bar 412. As the web user scrolls through the page, each link 418 that appears on screen is displayed in one of several predefined colors with no two adjacent links being displayed in the same color. When a given hypertext link is within the range 710, of the slider it becomes the current or active link and the slider changes to a color which corresponds to the color of the link. The color change provides a visual cue to the user that the link can now be selected. In addition, when the slider changes color, a link display 730 on the menu bar of the web browser may be used to display the title of the link as indicated by an HTML tag in the web page. As long as the slider remains the color corresponding to the link and the link display shows the title of the link, the user can select the link by simply pressing the right button of the mouse or using some other selection method.

Title: Planetary variable speed auxiliary drive with vibration isolator
Inventor: BOLL WOLF
IPC: F16H57/00
Filed: 1999-05-18
Abstract: A drive device, for auxiliaries of an internal combustion engine, comprises a planetary gear mechanism 1 having a planet carrier 12 connected to an engine crankshaft 2 via a resilient vibration isolator 8 which isolates the drive device from wear and noise promoting vibrations. At low engine speed, ring gear 17 is arrested by hydraulically operated brake 23, 24 so that drive is transmitted to belt pulley 21 by planet gears 15 driving sun gear 16. When the brake 23, 24 is released the ring gear 17, sun gear 16, planet carrier 12 and planet gears 15 rotate as a unit and the planet carrier 12 takes freewheel 22 with it, thereby coupling sleeve 17a and pulley 21 to the crankshaft 2. A flange 7, on the crankshaft 2, has uniformly distributed claws 11 which engage with slits 10 in the vibration isolator 8. The device is located in a timing case cover and is lubricated by engine oil.

Title: Railway goods waggon
Inventor: BIEKER GUIDO
IPC: B61D39/00
Filed: 1993-06-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a railway goods wagon with an underframe (5) which is borne by sets of running gear and has an essentially level loading platform (1) and longitudinal beams (6) which are constructed as fish beams in the region between the sets of running gear (7), and the loading space is bounded by end walls (2) which are permanently connected to the underframe (5), a roof shell (3) and side walls which consist of sliding wall components (4), which can be displaced and swivelled out, or by raisable, swivelling-out entire wall components which can be displaced one on top of the other and form the roof and the side walls. The object of the invention consisted in finding a possible way, for a railway goods wagon of the type mentioned at the beginning, of using the sliding wall components and entire wall components, which bound the loading space, to transmit horizontal and vertical forces in the closed state of the railway goods wagon. This object is achieved in that the sliding wall components (4) or the entire wall components, in the closed position, are clamped at their end wall-side longitudinal ends at the top in their vertical region to the end wall (2) and at their longitudinal end facing the longitudinal centre of the wagon are clamped at the bottom to the underframe (5) in a positively engaging fashion and the sliding wall components or entire wall components are constructed in their vertical area between the clamped attachment to the end wall (2) and the clamped attachment to the underframe (5) so as to transfer tensile forces and pressure forces. <IMAGE>
