[A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Oct. 23, 1948.] Class 40 (i). [Also in Group XXXVI] A pressure responsive device (Fig. I) comprises an aluminium alloy cylinder 10, formed with a thin-walled central portion 14 and a thick-walled end portion 16 and having an internal bore 10, which is connectable to a pressure line by threads 20. The surfaces 22 and 24 of the portions 14 and 16 are anodised to give a hard insulating surface and windings 26, 28 of fine resistance wire are applied thereto under tension. The resistance of winding 26 is strain variable by dimensional changes due to variations in temperature and internal pressure of the cylinder, while the resistance of winding 28 is similarly variable by temperature changes only, and the windings are connected with fixed resistances in a normally balanced Wheatstone bridge network (Fig. VI) whose unbalance voltage represents pressure independently of temperature and may be amplified and applied to a C.R. oscilloscope. The internal bore may terminate intermediately of the pressure winding and temperature windings, Fig. III (not shown), or the cylinder may have two balanced pressure windings and temperature windings respectively connected in opposite arms of a Wheatstone bridge, Figs. IV, V (not shown). In a further modification (Fig. VII) the cylinder comprises a base 30 with a threaded aperture 40 for attachment to a pressure line, and a central bore extending into a projecting member 42 which has a threaded shoulder 32 receiving a collar 34. The surfaces of 34 and 42 are anodised and respectively carry the temperature and pressure coils 38 and 46.

Title: Device for use in the humane slaughtering of animals
IPC: A22B3/02
Filed: 1978-10-27
Abstract: A captive bolt pistol device comprising a separable barrel 2 and cap 1 is provided with safety devices in the form of first and second sets of lugs 10, 13 respectively spaced axially on the barrel 2, and a gate 17 in the cap 1 defining abutment faces past which the lugs 10, 13 must be manipulated by the operator to bring the barrel 2 into the firing position within the cap 1. The arrangement and spacing of the lugs 10, 13 on the barrel 2 and the spacing of the gate 17 from the end wall 39 of the cap 1 is such that the residual inertia of the bolt which is transmitted to the barrel 2 at the end of its operative stroke is absorbed by engagement of the barrel muzzle 2b with the animal's skull after the bolt has retracted and not by the first set of lugs 10 striking the abutment faces as the barrel moves outwardly of the cap 10. This enables cartridges of a higher than usual power to be used for prolonged periods without damage to the device. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2015954-A (GB)
Title: Bogie rail vehicles
IPC: B61F5/24
Filed: 1979-03-09
Abstract: The bogies (2, 3) of a rail vehicle are connected to the body (1) of the vehicle by king pins or their equivalent (not shown), and also by transverse hydraulic actuators (11, 11a, 12, 12a), one at each end of each bogie. The actuators are interconnected by lines (21, 22, 23, 24) so that the forces exerted on, for example, the bogie 2 (forces P11, P12) act in opposite directions, and the effective piston areas of the actuators are so proportioned that the resultant of the two forces P11, P12 is a transverse force acting at a point halfway between the bogies. Similarly, the resultant of the two forces (P11a, P12a) acting on the other bogie (3) is a transverse force of the same magnitude, also acting halfway between the bogies, but in the opposite direction. The hydraulic system therefore tends to constrain the bogies to make equal but opposite rotations. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2026746-A (GB)
Title: Transmission systems
IPC: H04B1/034
Filed: 1979-07-25
Abstract: In a transmission system in which a transmitter provides a code sequence signal of modulated carrier form to effect a control function by way of a receiver including a decoder responsive to said signal (e.g. an emergency aid calling systems for elderly and handicapped persons who have individual transmitters for calling a central agency) the effect of electrical interference is reduced by preceding the code signal with an effectively quiescent period of unmodulated carrier, and the receiver has a detector responsive to an output from its demodulator signifying such a period to enable its decoder which is otherwise inhibited. The quiescent period should exceed any interval between successive elements of the code and preferably also mains frequency cycle time. If the code is repeated each instance should involve a quiescent period and, in this case, the receiver can include a counter responsive to a proportion of successful decode operations to activate the control function. <IMAGE>
