Title: Vehicle transmissions
Inventor: DARNELL PAUL MALCOLM
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 1996-03-13
Abstract: A vehicle transmission having a main drive clutch (14), a multi-ratio gearbox (12), a gear engaging mechanism (25) for engaging the operative ratio of the gearbox, and a manually operable gear selector (24) allowing the operator to manually select the operative ratio of the gearbox when the transmission is acting in a manual mode. An electronic control unit (36) is also included which controls the disengagement and engagement of the drive clutch at start-up and halting of the associated vehicle and during gear changes and which controls the operation of the gear engaging mechanism (25) in response to movements of the gear selector (24). The electronic control unit (36) is also arranged to override the gear ratio currently selected by the operator to select a more appropriate gear ratio for the current conditions if a pre-determined operating condition occurs when in its manual mode. The transmission may also have an automatic mode of operation, the electronic control means (36) will then also determine which gear ratio is to be selected when the transmission is operating in its automatic mode.

Title: Temperature control for a refrigerator
Inventor: JEONG SEONG-WOOK
IPC: F25D17/06
Filed: 1997-03-26
Abstract: A temperature controlling method for a refrigerator in which a sensing error between temperature sensors 3, 4 is corrected, thereby maintaining the interior temperature of the refrigeration compartment in equilibrium. Temperatures of the different locations within the refrigeration compartment are sensed several times when the temperatures in the refrigeration compartment are in equilibrium using the plurality of temperature sensors 3, 4 and the average temperatures of the respective temperature sensors are calculated. One of the temperature sensors is selected as a reference sensor and error values of the average temperatures of the remaining temperature sensors with respect to that of the reference sensor are calculated. The error values of the respective temperature sensors are added to the temperatures directly sensed by the corresponding temperature sensors to obtain corrected temperature values, and discharge of cool air is controlled based on the corrected temperature values.

Patent GB-2333614-A (GB)
Title: Flow controller
Inventor: GOODY BRIAN
IPC: G05D7/00
Filed: 1999-01-22
Abstract: A flow controller includes a plurality of flow control units, the flow control units being calibrated with respect to one another. The preferred embodiment uses a set of mass flow controllers and associated shut off valves connected in parallel to sum the individual flows. Each controller is operated close to its full scale range and their flows are adjusted in 2:1 ratios with the aid of a mass flow meter. This allows a linear fluid flow response to be achieved over a wide range of flows using currently available equipment which, when used conventionally, would exhibit large errors. Linearity uncertainties of typically Œ0.3% of flow value are achievable compared to around Œ 1.0% of full scale flow with conventional methods.

Filed: 1999-05-12
Abstract: A method of co-boresighting a radar antenna 21 and a tracking sensor 22 carried by a marine vessel which has a reference 26 mounted on it comprises aligning the boresight of the sensor with the reference, generating a reference radar signal at the reference, encompassing all frequencies at which the radar operates, for aligning the antenna with the reference, then tracking a moving target 25 with both the antenna and sensor and recording the far-field deviation (Figure 4) between their boresights, and finally realigning the boresights to the reference whilst also applying an offset to the boresight of the antenna to account for the far-field deviation. Since the sensor has long range focus a telescope 27 is used to align it with the reference. Preferably the reference is a mast with a target 28 for aligning the sensor and a narrow beam radar generator 24 for aligning the antenna, and is additionally equipped with a mirror 32 to reflect a light source 33 mounted by the antenna to align the orientation of the mast. The mast may also be arranged so that the antenna is pointed towards the sea when boresighted (Figure 5). The moving target may be a metallic helium filled balloon located at 5 km from the vessel.

Title: Cream, churner product made therefrom and method of manifacturing them
Inventor: BROCKHUS JEROEN JOHANNES J J
IPC: A23D7/00
Filed: 1992-09-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a cream, to a churned product made therefrom, and to a processes for producing such a cream and such a product. Experience has shown that it is difficult to prepare products which simultaneously exhibit a stability, texture and ease of manufacture similar to that of butter, without sacrificing the nutritional qualities of margarine by the incorporation of saturated fats, particularly butterfat. We have now determined that the use of interesterified fat avoids the difficulties of post hardening. The invention provides a process for the production of a spread which comprises the steps of:   a) preparing a vegetable fat cream comprising at least one interesterified fat having an solid fat index at 10 DEG C of greater than 30% and preferably less than 50%, b) dosing into the said vegetable fat cream 1-25% on total fat phase of vegetable oil, preferably around 15%, of an oil with a higher iodine value than the interesterified fat, c) churning the cream/fat mixture to obtain a water in oil emulsion spread having a solid fat index at 10 DEG C of greater than 20% and preferably less than 50%.   Preferably, the fat blend of the cream comprises 40-60 wt.% of a liquid oil and 60-40 wt.% of an interesterified blend of one or more fats rich in palmitic and/or lauric fatty acids together with one or more fats rich in eighteen carbon fatty acid residues. Preferably the surface-weighted mean diameter (D3,2) of the dispersed droplets in the cream should be prior to churning in the range 3-8  mu m, preferably 3-6  mu m, most preferably 4-5  mu m.
