Title: Detecting contacts during sporting activities etc.
Inventor: BRENNAN WARREN
IPC: A63B71/06
Filed: 2008-09-08
Abstract: A method and an apparatus are described for determining parameters of a contact between bodies occurring within an activity, particularly within a sporting, game, recreational or entertainment activity, such as bounce of a tennis ball or contact of a cricket ball or baseball with the bat. A digital camera directed towards a target area during the course of the activity captures image frames including image data in the infra red region of the spectrum. Means for comparing image data for multiple temporally spaced frames with image data of a reference datum records any localised infra red emission appearing in at least one incident frame, such localised infra red emission being indicative of beat having been generated by a contact which has occurred in the target area and which has generated heat, such as by friction between the bodies or deformation of at least one of the bodies involved in the contact. The image data for at least one of the incident frames is analysed to determine at least one parameter of the contact, and the image data for the incident frame is recorded. Visual display means displays the incident frames including the image data in the IR spectrum by presenting IR data as a visible display of the scene captured for the incident frame so as to enable visual inspection of the activity in the target area at the time of the at least one incident frame and that gave rise to the contact producing the infra red emission.

Means are provided (1) for adjusting the width of the mould slot by means of exchangeable liners in such a way that the top of the mould and, consequently, the alignment at the base of the characters, is always at the same distance from the centre of the mould wheel or carrier, and (2) for holding the cast line in the mould during the trimming. (1) The mould-frame 2, Fig. 1, is held in the mouldwheel 1 by screws 3, and contains top and bottom mould-members 4, 5, Fig. 2, between which are located exchangeable liners 6, 7, the thickness of which determines the width of the mould. Below the bottom of the member 5 is an exchangeable liner 8, which is complementary in thickness to the liners 6, 7, so that the top of the mould remains in a constant position. The liners are pressed against recessed surfaces on the frame 2 by screws 18, and the mould is held down in the frame by screws 20. (2) Movable pins 9 are adapted to project slightly into the mould-slot during the casting and the trimming of the base of the type-bar, and are operated by means of oblique grooves, which are engaged by inclined members 13 on a bar 10 mounted to slide in the mould-frame.

Title: Improvements relating to Acetylene Gas Generators.
Inventor: BRAMWELL BALFOUR
IPC: C10H5/00
Filed: 1917-07-12
Abstract: 111,810. Bramwell, B. July 12, 1917. Regulating head of liquid directly; separating residue from unused solid in generators. - In a generator for obtaining gas under comparatively high pressure, a carbide-cage g is supported in a compartment b which may he in the form of a fixed bell, in a water-tank a and is supplied with water from a raised feed-tank f, connected at its base with an inverted U-tube p which rises above the tank. The outer limb of the U-tube is connected to the gas-bell b and the inner limb through a cock q to a pipe l which passes downwards to the base of the water tank and then upwards to the top of the carbide cage. In action, the gas from the bell b depresses the level of the water in the inner limb of the U-tube, and cuts off the water supply when the level is below the cock q. The carbidecage is supported on a hollow rod h and is adapted to be moved up and down by a handle k to shake the lime from the unused carbide. Sludge is removed from the tank a through a valve s. The gas may be passed into a floating gas-bell, the movements of which may be utilized to shake the carbide-cage, or, when more than one carbide-cage is used, to change over the feed of water from one to another.

Abstract: 582,994. Knitting. HEMPHILL CO. May 26, 1944, No. 10238. Convention date, May 29, 1943. [Class 74 (ii)] In knitting an inturned welt upon a circular machine, yarn is fed to spaced needles 4 and over the points 62 of transfer bits 58, thereafter fabric is knitted upon all the needles to an extent sufficient for the welt, and finally the loops upon the transfer bits are transferred to the needles upon which yarn was initially taken. The needles 4 are provided in the needle cylinder 1, and the transfer bits 58 are provided in the dial 3, and means as described in Specification 583,018 are provided for shogging the dial with respect to the cylinder so that the loops held by the transfer bits 58 can be transferred to the needles that originally took yarn. Each transfer bit 58 comprises two adjacent parts mounted in the same trick, and means as described in Specification 583,019 are provided for moving one part inwardly in advance of the other so that each loop is slipped over the part before it is disengaged from the point of the other part. A selvedge may be formed by knitting in alternate wales 70, 72, 74, and in the next course knitting upon all needles. The transfer bits are then projected over the aligned needles and yarn is fed to the intervening needles and upon the transfer bits for a course and the transfer bits are withdrawn holding their loops. After sufficient welt is knitted, the dial is shogged to bring the transfer bits into alignment with the needles which took yarn in the initial course of the welt, and the loops 64 held by the transfer bits are transferred to the needles. Specification 479,324 also is referred to.

Abstract: 1,126,414. Time switches. HORTMANN GEAR CO. Ltd. 27 Feb., 1967 [10 March, 1966], No. 10538/66. Heading H1N. A time-driven 24-hour dial 1 carries two " ON " tappets 36 and two " OFF " tappets 37 (only one of each being shown in Fig. 10) which alternately step a star wheel 24 to rotate a shaft 41 carrying cams (12, 12a, Fig. 4, not shown) which can operate respective spring- blade contact sets on the Arzberger principle. A six-position knob 43 is manually adjustable to move cams (13, 13a) acting on the contact blades so as to hold the respective sets selectively in engagement with the Arzberger cams (12, 12a) for timed operation (Fig. 1, not shown) or away therefrom and permanently closed (Fig. 2, not shown) or permanently open (Fig. 3, not shown). In two positions knob 43 additionally causes the normal two " ON " periods to be replaced by one long " ON " period. In these positions cams 32 act on a two-armed lever 33, 34 to cause resilient arm 34 to engage in a slot (40, Fig. 15, not shown) in star wheel 24 and its end 35 to move into the path of a lug 39 depending from one of the " OFF " tappets 37. When this " OFF " tappet approaches the star wheel 24 it thus depresses arm 34 and moves the star wheel axially (against the action of a spring 42) out of the path of the tappet and the selected contact set or sets remain " ON " until the second " OFF " tappet acts on starwheel 24.
