Inventor: HAZELMAN DAVID J
IPC: F16B19/10
Filed: 1999-10-05
Abstract: A blind fastener with a pin having a pin shank which extends through a cylindrical main sleeve and expansion sleeve whereby it can be gripped and pulled by an installation tool with the pin having an enlarged pin head at the blind end of the pin shank. The expansion sleeve is located between the pin head and the inner end of the main sleeve and is adapted to move into the inner or blind end of the main sleeve to form a first tulip shaped blind head for clamping workpieces together in response to a relative axial force applied between the sleeves and pin by engagement of the pin head with the expansion sleeve. As the axial force is increased the pin head is moved into the expansion sleeve to form a second tulip head to further clamp the workpieces and to secure the pin, main sleeve and expansion sleeve together at that end and is moved closely adjacent the workpiece surface at the blind side to form a high strength blind head.

Patent GB-2357850-A (GB)
Title: A device for measuring the thickness of films on bases
Inventor: STIENGROEVER ERICH
IPC: G01B/
Filed: 2000-10-19
Abstract: The device (1) for measuring the thickness of non-magnetic films or weakly magnetic films (2) on ferromagnetic bases or non-magnetic bases (3), whereby the film thickness (SD) is determined from the adhesive force of a permanent magnet (4) on the film (2) to be measured, is designed to have a rotary system (6) mounted at the centre of gravity (5), which bears the permanent magnet (4). The adhesive force of the permanent magnet (4) is compensated by the variable force of a magnetic field of an electromagnet (13) acting on the rotary system (6), the value of which as the permanent magnet (4) is lifted off the film (2) is used as a measure of the film thickness (SD). The advantage of the invention is that the force needed to overcome the adhesive force of the permanent magnet on the film to be measured does not have to be applied by means of a rotary spring and a complicated mechanism for halting the driving element for the rotary system at the instant the permanent magnet is lifted from the film to be measured. Instead, the adhesive force of the permanent magnet is compensated by the variable force of an electromagnet acting on the rotary system and the value of this force as the permanent magnet is lifted from the film provides a very accurate measurement of the film thickness.

Abstract: A vessel 2 has at least one inflatable flotation device 8, 10 arranged on the vessel such that when it is inflated by an inflation means 12 it is able to maintain the vessel's buoyancy at water line level in the event of the vessel taking on an amount of water that would otherwise cause the vessel to sink. The flotation devices may be provided by inflatable bags (24, Fig 3) provided at the sides, bow 18 and stern 22 of the vessel and stored behind a protective cover (28, Fig 6). The inflation means may be a container of compressed gas 38 connected to the inflatable bags by conduit means 14 incorporating both flow regulator 43 and non-return (36, Fig 6) valves. Inflation of the bags may be initiated by a ball-cock control float system.

Title: Print device with two local memories
Inventor: CHRISTODOULOU ATHENA
IPC: G06K15/00
Filed: 2001-06-04
Abstract: A print device comprises raster image processor (RIP)/print controller 17, print engine (PE) 19, first memory 21, second memory 23, and switch circuit 25. The switch circuit allows print data to be transferred between the RIP/control module and either of the two memories. Print data can also be transferred between either of the memories and the PE for generating printed output. In a first embodiment, print data is transferred to the first memory 21 (Fig. 3a). When the first memory is almost full, the data input path is switched, so as to allow the print data to be stored on the second memory 23 (Fig. 3b). At this time, data stored in the first memory 21 may be output to the PE 19 (Fig. 3c). In a second embodiment (Fig. 4), print data, e.g. for a template document, input to the first memory is copied to the second memory. A first set of data to be embedded into the template document is then transferred to the first memory; a second set of data can then be transferred to the second memory whilst at the same time, the data from the first memory is output to the PE, thus increasing the print efficiency.

Title: A power amplifier using a measure of current drawn to produce an error signal which in turn is modified to produce a gain control signal
Inventor: PERSSON JONAS
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: A power amplifier gain control loop comprising a measurement unit, an error detection unit and a signal processing unit. A measurement x<SB>5</SB>(t) indicative of the amount of current drawn by the power amplifier 1 is made and used, preferably with a reference signal x<SB>1</SB>(t)which may be retrieved from a memory, to produce an error (or difference) signal x<SB>2</SB>(t) which is modified in a predetermined way, in the signal processing unit, to produce a gain control signal. The predetermined modification of the error signal may include filtering and/or predistortion. The problem addressed is that of adjusting telephone parameters so that they fit the power vs. time template required by, e.g., GSM or any other system requiring accurate power control (TDMA or CDMA systems). This in turn (page 4) leads to easier implementation of the required power vs. time mask.

Title: Self tuning model reference controller in a disc drive
Inventor: BURTON MATTHEW C
IPC: G11B21/08
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: Method and apparatus for moving a head (118) of a disc drive (100) from an initial position to a destination position on a recording surface of a rotatable disc (108) by generating and applying a model reference current (380, 392) to an actuator motor (124). A servo circuit (140) includes a current profile generator (215) which generates a baseline reference current profile (270). A gain calculator (217) calculates first and second gain factors in relation to an initial velocity of the head. A gain block (216) generates the model reference current by applying the first gain factor to a first portion of the baseline reference current profile used to accelerate the head and subsequently applying the second gain factor to a second portion of the baseline reference current profile used to decelerate the head, wherein the first and second gain factors have different respective magnitudes to compensate for a nonzero initial velocity of the head.
