Title: Article labelling apparatus
Inventor: COMMANDER DAVID JAMES
IPC: B65C9/18
Filed: 1988-05-16
Abstract: An article labelling apparatus comprises means for forming labels from a web of label material and a label cutting/ transfer mechanism placed in close proximity to an article conveyor which moves articles to be labelled at constant speed through the apparatus. A web of self-adhesive material on which labels are pre-printed is fed from a supply roll through nips formed between drive rollers and back up rollers to a rewind assembly on which the web skeleton is wound after labels have been cut from the web. Labels are cut from the web and transferred to the articles by means of a cutter drum (22) and a co-operating contra-rotating transfer/anvil cylinder (23). The web passes between the drum and cylinder and a label is severed from the web by means of cutter dies on the cutter cylinder (22) acting against the cylinder (23). The severed label is retained on the anvil cylinder by a shaped slot in the cylinder to which vacuum is initially applied followed by air pressure when the drum has moved to the appropriate discharge position to apply the label to an adjacent article. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2234372-A (GB)
Title: Mass memory device
Inventor: HOAYUN PAUL
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 1989-07-18
Abstract: A controller (12) emits commands (CMND) to a chain of memory modules. Write data may be sent to a selected module on a line (XMIT) which has a one-clock delay through each module. Read data is received from a selected module on a line (RECV) which also has a one-clock delay through each module. To synchronise commands with data they are sent (DCMND) Figure 2 to the modules through a variable delay (30) such as a FIFO which is set (DN) by the controller to a delay N.t where the N'th module is commanded and t is the clock period. Read data is gated in by a command (DDCMND) delayed by N.t. again by a second variable delay (32), Figure 3. A less complex management schedule may be implemented using the controller and mass memory described to ensure that all valid data, but no invalid data, are written or read. <IMAGE>

Title: Vibration damper for heavy construction purposes
Inventor: SNELL MICHAEL BYRON
IPC: F16F15/02
Filed: 1990-04-25
Abstract: In a heavy structure e.g. a bridge, which includes an element liable to low frequency vibration during erection, i.e. when the structure is unstable, another element which is an integral structure part after erection is used as the mass of a dynamic absorber for damping this vibration. in the example given, a launch rail (46) for erecting a bridge across a river is cantilevered out over the river, after which a support leg (50) is extended by means of an integral jack to engage the ground and form a stable structure. The support leg includes a lower part (54) which is suspended during erection from the upper part of the leg through a gas spring, with the gas spring and the mass of the lower part together constituting a dynamic absorber for the launch rail during erection. After erection, structural loads are transmitted directly to the lower leg part via a trunnion. The gas spring includes an air reservoir, the effective volume of which is preferably adapted to be tuned, at least approximately, to the mass being damped. <IMAGE>
