Title: Shock absorber with automatically variable flow restrictor
IPC: B61G11/12
Filed: 1982-03-15
Abstract: A hydraulic shock absorber which is particularly for use on container rail vehicles to retard the relative movement which occurs between the sliding carrier and the running frame when the vehicle runs up against another vehicle (e.g. when the vehicles are being coupled together), has at least one piston (17, 18) which is movable in a damper cylinder (14) and responds to the impacts to be damped by moving into the working chamber of the cylinder causing a discharge of hydraulic fluid into a receiver (36). A restoring element (e.g. gas in the receiver) exerts on the piston a restoring force which increases with the piston stroke. An inertial sensor 81 controls a restrictor 66 to vary the resistance to flow of fluid along the flow path between the working chamber and the receiver, to an optimum value for uniform pressure equalisation in the damper cylinder working chamber. The restrictor 66 is biased to a position of maximum resistance. When a set value of acceleration is exceeded, the flow cross-section is increased. The weight 81 may be replaced by a sensor responsive to the pressure in the working chamber. <IMAGE>

Title: Movable energy probe microscope
Inventor: KNOWLES WILLIAM RALPH
IPC: G02B21/00
Filed: 1984-01-10
Abstract: A scanning electron microscope has an image store 25 connected to receive signals from a secondary electron collector 22. Secondary electrons are emitted from the specimen surface 16 in response to impingement by the electron beam 20, which is scanned over the specimen by scanning coils 12 driven by a scan generator 26. A cathode ray tube display 32 is provided which has its separate scan generator 38 and responds to the previously stored signals as they are read out from the store 25 under control of a control unit 42. The beam scanning rate of the electron beam 20 and the CRT beam therefore can be entirely independent so that the scan generator 26 may have a relatively low rate and therefore a low power rating. The CRT can be a standard type and does not need to be high persistence. The signal to noise ratio of the signals in the store 25 can be increased by repeating the scan of the specimen before reading out the signals. An acoustic, ion or optical beam may replace the scanning electron beams. <IMAGE>
