Patent GB-2217675-A (GB)
Title: Methods and apparatus for purging oxygen during filling of containers
Inventor: RUSSELL TREVOR JOHN
IPC: B65B31/00
Filed: 1989-04-18
Abstract: A method of purging oxygen from a product prior to packing into a container uses an apparatus comprising a tubular nozzle 1 supported on a shroud 5 which surrounds a container. The nozzle 1 has a ring of ports 2A arranged equispaced around its girth and midway along its length and a staggered array of ports 2 either side of said ring to permit entry of a purging gas into the nozzle so that a product falling through the nozzle is purged by a flow of purging gas passing from the ports 2A, 2 to emerge from both ends of the nozzle 1 a great quantity of gas being introduced into the central nozzle zone than at its extremities. An additional port 6 passing through the shroud directs purging gas directly into the container. The benefit of the method is that the amount of oxygen around a particulate produce, such as peanuts, is much reduced to enhance shelf life when packed. <IMAGE>

Title: A mould for moulding a skin covered foamed plastics article
Inventor: YANAGISHITA NORIO
IPC: B29C33/10
Filed: 1989-07-25
Abstract: The mould utilizes a middle mold (14) between an upper mold (13) and a lower mold (12), for clamping the skin (26) at its edge, against the upper mould (13). The upper mold (13) has extended side portions (43) which locate upon the base of the lower mold to provide the sole support of the upper mould (13) thereby avoiding the prior art disadvantage of excessive pressure upon the lower mould which would arise from the upper mould being supported upon the top of the lower mould, and also enabling the penetration of resin foam into the skin to be adjusted, by pressure within the space (51) between the moulds (12), (13), to control the venting of gas from the mould, via a hinge (15a) and vent (48) provided on the lower mould (12).

Title: Clock
Inventor: OMAR ZAFAR
IPC: G04B45/04
Filed: 1989-09-08
Abstract: A clock (10) comprises a circular track member (11) enclosing an area, with two externally-toothed endless belts (14) guided in respective tracks in the track member.

Title: Tilting game
Inventor: RIGBY ANDREW
IPC: A63F7/04
Filed: 1990-02-10
Abstract: A tilting game device has an enclosure with a plurality of playing zones 2 and a protrusion 3 to act as a fulcrum, a plurality of movable pieces 4 positionable within the confines of the enclosure by tilting the enclosure, a plurality of fixing pieces 5 securable to the enclosure which when secured restrict or control the motion of the movable pieces. The game device (when released on a flat, level playing surface) utilises the equilibrium (or lack of equilibrium) of the game device in game play. During game play, players tilt the enclosure to position movable pieces and secure fixing pieces to (or release them from) the enclosure to restrict (or free) the movement of the movable pieces, thus altering the position of the game device's centre of gravity and affecting the game device's stability. As shown, the enclosure is square and up to four players can be assigned a playing side. Players take it in turns to pick up and tilt the enclosure. The object is to prevent opponents from maintaining an equilibrium position with the assigned side down. <IMAGE>

Title: Glazing for the driver's cab of a cleaning vehicle
Inventor: BRADLEY RICHARD MAURICE
IPC: B62D33/06
Filed: 1990-06-08
Abstract: A self-propelled cleaning vehicle has generally front-located cleaning gear. A drivers cab 290 is located generally above the cleaning gear. The cab is glazed. The glazing panels are disposed non-vertically. A series of lower glazing panels 326, 328, 330, 332, 334 are inclined so that their outer faces face generally downwardly of horizontal. The main cab windscreen panel 322 is correspondingly inclined so that its outer face faces slightly upwardly of horizontal. The lower panels are double or triple glazed, while the upper panel is not. Significant savings in material costs are achieved while substantial noise reduction is achieved. This effect is further enhanced by providing the double or triple glazed panels with glazing materials of differing sound transmission characteristics, such as toughened and laminated glass, of which the toughened glass is provided on the outer side of the cab. Such an arrangement is of benefit for cabs which are fully double or triple glazed. <IMAGE>

Title: Forming foundations.
Inventor: BULLIVANT ROGER ALFRED
IPC: E02D27/14
Filed: 1992-05-06
Abstract: A method of forming a support for a building structure comprises forming a number of support members each interconnected to its neighbour(s) at its upper end. Each support member is provided by forming in the ground in which the structure has to be supported a hole in overlapping relationship with its neighbour(s), by forcing a correspondingly shaped former (10) into the ground to a predetermined depth. The former is then removed from the ground and a cementitious material is thereafter poured into the holes. The cementitious material is allowed to set to form a rigid structure which is continuous at or near ground level and for a predetermined distance below ground level. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of correcting magnetization vector
Inventor: MASUMOTO YUTAKA
IPC: G01R33/00
Filed: 1992-06-24
Abstract: When the body of an automobile equipped with a stand-alone navigation system is magnetized by an external magnetism, a magnetization vector (Mn-1), directed from a reference position toward the centre of a magnetic circle which indicates the magnetized condition of the automobile body, is detected, and a geomagnetic vector (Sn), which is directed from the reference position in the direction in which the mobile body progresses, is detected. An instantaneous direction vector (Rn), directed from the centre of the magnetic circle in the direction in which the mobile body progresses and having a direction angle ( theta mn), is calculated. Then, an average geomagnetic intensity (r INFINITY ) is calculated from the average of past values of the magnitude (r INFINITY ) of the instantaneous direction vector (Rn), and a weighting coefficient (hn) is calculated based on the average geomagnetic intensity (r INFINITY ). A substantially instantaneous (Hn) magnetization vector for correcting the magnetization vector (Mn-1) is then calculated. <IMAGE>

Title: Video recorder operation based on program content e.g. sport or news.
Inventor: LEE DONG-GIL
IPC: G11B27/11
Filed: 1992-07-08
Abstract: A reserved recording method and apparatus perform reserved recording according to the contents of programs based on the order of reception in a VCR. When program information is reserved, a block number BLK denoting the pre programmed time and class of the program is stored in a memory. After receiving current time information through a timer, when the current time is the pre-programmed recording time, the initial program is recorded and the existence of program information having the same block number is checked. If a program of the same block number exists, the pre-programmed time of this program is compared with those of programs in other blocks, so that a FF operation is performed for as long as the predetermined tape length of the program in the same block when a program of another block is earlier. Then, a program of another block is recorded at the corresponding pre- programmed time. Also, if the program of another block is already recorded at the current position on the tape, a rewind operation is performed for as long as the tape length to the corresponding position requires, thereby recording the program at the corresponding pro programmed time. Since the locations of respective programs recorded on the tape are linked by contents, the recorded programs having a desired content can be easily selected for viewing during playback. <IMAGE>
