Title: Electric arc interrupter
Inventor: CHRISP GEORGE FRANCIS
IPC: H01H33/18
Filed: 1988-05-07
Abstract: An electric switch has an arc interrupter 16 mounted in a housing between two main conductors 12, 14. The interrupter 16 comprises a fixed contact 20, a fixed electrode 40 which forms part of contact 20 defining a first arcing surface 46, a second fixed or pivotable electrode 34 defining a second arcing surface 48, a permanent magnet 38 and a movable contact 34 which may also comprise the second electrode 34, the arcing surfaces 46, 48 and the permanent magnet 38 being coaxial with one another when the contacts 20, 34 are open, and the contact 34 being mounted for angular movement, about a pivot axis 66 between a make position and a break position. During opening of the interrupter 16, an arc is struck between the contacts 20, 34 after which it moves between arcing surfaces 46, 48. The permanent magnet 38 produces magnetic flux which interacts with the arc so that the arc is driven around an axis 18 in the annular gap between the surfaces 46, 48. The movement of the arc assists in extinguishing the arc at an appropriate current zero. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for the lining of existing pipes
Inventor: MCGUIRE BRIAN EDWARD
IPC: B29C55/30
Filed: 1988-05-09
Abstract: The method uses a support (1) incorporating a pipe clamp (2) at one end and an electrically heated swaging die at the other. The liner pipe, external diameter larger than the bore of the pipe to be lined, is made of plastics or other suitable material and drawn at ambient temperature through the swaging die and threaded through the pipe to be lined. The diameter of the liner pipe is reduced to and/or maintained at less than the inner diameter of the pipe to be lined by the tension applied by the drawing force.The drawing restrains the radial expansion of the outer surface of the liner pipe as it emerges from the swaging die.

Title: Improved BIMOS logic gate
Inventor: PANT SANDEEP
IPC: H03K19/0944
Filed: 1989-05-24
Abstract: A multi-input logic gate includes input field effect logic arrays TR1, TR2 each coupled to a bipolar transistor TR21, TR31..... A wired OR arrangement couples the emitter of the bipolar transistors to the base of a further bipolar transistor TR22 providing an emitter follower for coupling to an inverter output stage TR23, 24. The base emitter junction of each bipolar transistor is shunted by a resistor R21......R2 to prevent dynamic reverse biasing of that junction.

Patent GB-2222774-A (GB)
Title: Lice control
Inventor: BEAMENT JAMES
IPC: A61K8/60
Filed: 1989-08-21
Abstract: A method for controlling lice or their ova on a human subject consists of applying to the human subject a topical, pharmaceutical composition containing a sugar fatty acid ester, a hydrophilic cellulose derivative and a diluent or carrier. Preferably the sugar fatty acid ester is a sucrose fatty acid ester and the cellulose is a cellulose ether especially a hydroxyalkylcellulose ether. The composition may also contain a film-forming polymer and/or a lousicide/insect repellent. Application of the composition forms a thin film on the hair. This film causes the louse not to recognise the host as being a human head with hair. The louse then either leaves the site or fails to infest the site.

Title: Pipeline breakaway protection mechanism
Inventor: LANGNER CARL GOTTLIEB
IPC: E21B43/01
Filed: 1991-09-26
Abstract: A pipeline breakaway mechanism for protecting a pipeline 2, an off-shore platform or subsea structure is provided which includes an elbow 3 in a pipeline 1 and two clamps 4, 5 holding the pipeline 1 to a structure such as a platform or another pipeline 2. When a strong pull is exerted on the pipeline 1, the pipeline 115 bent until it buckles around the first clamp 5; the first clamp 5 then fails at a preset load, causing the pipe 1 to bend around the second clamp 4 and causing the previously formed buckle to straighten. This buckling and straightening of pipe 1 causes the pipe wall to fracture at a load much smaller than its tensile strength. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Modelling a synthetic crystal structure formed of a first crystal structure CSt and a second crystal structure CSf is carried out using a computer and overcoming the disadvantages of tracing the plastic models which are made up by hand. The operator inputs a first atom At, a first lattice Lt and a first crystal face St using a first coordinate system and a second atom Af, a second lattice Lf and a second crystal face Sf using a second cordinate system. The second crystal structure CSf is then transformed into a crystal structure represented by the first coordinate system, this satisfying the condition in which the second atom Af, the second lattice Lf and the crystal face Sf of the second crystal structure CSf are respectively superposed on the first atom At, the first lattice Lt and the first crystal face St of the first crystal structure 0St. Next the second crystal structure represented by the first coordinate system is added to the first crystal structure, 50 that a synthetic crystal structure formed of the first and second crystal structures represented by the first coordinate system, is obtained. <IMAGE>
