Title: Fixing thermoplastic material on a carrier
IPC: G03G15/20
Filed: 1972-12-18
Abstract: 1420084 Heating by friction HOECHST AG 18 Dec 1972 [20 Dec 1971] 58298/72 Heading F4U [Also in Division G2] In a process for heat-fixing a heat-fixable material to a carrier the required heat is generated by contact between the side of the carrier free from the material and a friction element during relative motion of the carrier and element. In heat-fixing a toner image to a paper support 1 the support is advanced around a rotatable friction roller 8 contained within a heat insulating jacket 7. The ceramic, glass or low conductivity metal alloy jacket 9 of the roller 8 is first brought to the required operating temperature by a radially movable friction element 12. The roller which is rotatable in either direction may be replaced by a belt.

Title: A control device for an inertia- reel type seat belt
IPC: B60R22/19
Filed: 1978-09-25
Abstract: A control device for an inertia-reel type seat belt which allows the belt to be extended by withdrawal from the inertia reel and which can be subsequently operated to prevent rewinding but nevertheless allow further withdrawal. The device may comprise control means in the form of a plate (7) which pivotally supports a member (9).

Patent GB-2018072-A (GB)
Title: Control circuit
IPC: H03K17/13
Filed: 1979-03-02
Abstract: A resistor (R3) and an integrating circuit (R4, C2) are connected to the output of a full wave rectifier (D1 to D4). A light emitting diode (D6) is coupled between resistor (R3) and the capacitor (C2) of the integrating circuit. The light emitting diode is optically coupled to a light sensor (Q1) coupled into a triac control circuit. The time constant of the integrating circuit is chosen such that the still rising capacitor potential exceeds the falling potential across the resistor (R3) just before the zero crossing point of input line voltage to the rectifier. Both diodes D5, D6 then conduct to operate the triac as the input voltage approaches zero, operation just after zero-crossing being impossible with the correct time constant. The circuit is used for firing a triac in a lamp supply circuit and ensures that the initial lamp brightness and average current are low.   <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2017205-A (GB)
Title: Fuel Pumping Apparatus
IPC: F02M41/14
Filed: 1979-03-09
Abstract: A fuel pumping apparatus for an I.C. engine includes an injection pump to which fuel is supplied by a low pressure supply pump 27 via a rotary distributor 11 and a shuttle 38 located in a cylinder 37. One end of the shuttle is intermittently connected to the injection pump working chamber via a passage 13 and the other end of the cylinder is connected to the supply pump 27. The movement of the shuttle 38 represents the amount of fuel supplied to the injection pump and this movement is measured at 43 and the signal supplied to a processing circuit 42 which also receives a demand signal 44. The movement of the shuttle is halted by the gradual closure of communication between the one end of the cylinder 37 and the injection pump. This is achieved in the example by a passage 34 moving out of registration with a port 35 or 36 of the distributor 11. The rate of flow of fuel from the pump 27 to the cylinder is controlled by a fuel control device 41 the setting of which is determined by the processing circuit 42 which strives to ensure that the actual amount of fuel supplied to the injection pump is equal to the desired amount. <IMAGE>
