Title: Gearbox with separate lubrication systems for low and high speed
Inventor: BLACKBURN GODFREY ROLF
IPC: F16H1/14
Filed: 1989-09-01
Abstract: A single reduction spiral bevel gearbox for a high speed electric railway locomotive needs effective lubrication at both high and low speeds. The gearbox includes a casing (10), an input shaft (15) journalled in the casing and carrying a spiral bevel pinion (19), and an output shaft (16) journalled in the casing and carrying a spiral bevel wheel (26) in mesh with the pinion. A first lubrication system for low speeds comprises an apertured machined shroud (44) fitting closely around the lower periphery of the bevel wheel which flings oil from the shroud into troughs (50) whence it is ducted to the bearings of the shafts. A second lubrication system for high speeds comprises twin vane-pumps on a common shaft driven by the output shaft, which pumps supply oil through parallel duplicated hydraulic circuits to the bearings of the input and output shafts and to nozzles (73) for spraying the pinion teeth. Both systems remain operational at all speeds. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2222530-A (GB)
Title: Oil separator
Inventor: OSBORNE ANDREW JOHN
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 1989-09-11
Abstract: Drainage water contaminated with hydrocarbons flows from inlet chamber 12 through slotted baffle 13 to a settling chamber 14, from the lower part of which water flows by a restricted passage to outlet chamber 19. If the inflow rises sufficiently, the level in chamber 14 rises and eventually the excess inflow passes over a weir 15 to bypass chamber 14 through duct 16. The flow out of chamber 14 is restricted by a duct 17, with downwardly directed openings, which leads via valve 24 to space 18, which is separated from outlet chamber 19 by a weir 20 with a restricted through passage 23. Oil accumulates in chamber 14 and can be withdrawn by means (40). Fig. 4 illustrates an alternative flow restrictor. <IMAGE>

Title: Data encoder
Inventor: STONE JONATHAN JAMES
IPC: G06K9/50
Filed: 1991-10-04
Abstract: A data encoder is described for carrying out runlength coding. A count of zero input data values is made by a runlength counter 10. The input data values are simultaneously fed to an encoded word bit length indicator 6 and encoded word generator 8 which respectively produced outputs for each input data value. An encoder state machine 12 triggers the reading into an encoder data store 16 of the current runlength. encoded word bit length and encoded word at appropriate times. The encoder state machine triggers storage when a non-zero input data value is received. The encoder state machine 12 also prompts the generation and storage of continuation codes (corresponding to a predetermined maximum of zero input data values) and end of block codes (corresponding to an indication that all the subsequent input data values within a current block are zero values and can therefore be ignored) when appropriate data streams are encountered. <IMAGE>
