Title: Combined shift control
IPC: F16H59/04
Filed: 1980-11-14
Abstract: A combined shift control for a motor vehicle driveline comprising a change speed gear transmission and a two speed axle whereby, for instance, a five speed gear box with one reverse gear is effectively extended to provide a seven speed driveline with one reverse gear. The gear box includes three parallel shift rods (12, 13, 14) each carrying a respective selector block (15, 16, 17). The slot (18) of the fourth/fifth selector block (17) is deeper than usual so that the gear lever (21) can operate it in two different transverse positions. In the first position the gear lever (21) actuates the fourth and fifth gears, but in the second position, after overcoming a spring-loaded plunger (20) and operating two micro-switches (24) which serve to change the axle ratio to a higher value, the gear lever (21) effectively actuates two further driveline speeds (sixth/seventh) when selector block 17 is caused to move the shift rod 14 to engage fourth and fifth transmission gears again. In order to retain the gear lever (21) in the high axle ratio position when the driver lets go of the lever means such as a slidable gate (22) which is locked into position when the high axle ratio is selected via the micro-switches (24) are provided. Alternate forms of switch and retaining means are described with reference to other Figures. An embodiment is disclosed in (FIGS. 12, 13) for use with a selector finger mounted on a cross shaft rather than a pivotable gear lever of FIG. 4.

Patent GB-2073043-A (GB)
Title: Separation of a gaseous mixture
IPC: B01D53/047
Filed: 1981-03-30
Abstract: Air (or other gas mixture) is compressed in compressor 4 and passed through adsorbent bed 12 in which oxygen is preferentially adsorbed. A product rich in nitrogen thus flows out of the bed into the pipeline 20. While this is taking place adsorbed gas is desorbed from a second adsorbent bed 14 by pressure reduction for regeneration of that bed. The desorbed gas flows out of the bed into a pipeline 34. From time to time the beds 12 and 14 are switched such that the bed previously being regenerated is used to produce nitrogen-rich gas and the bed previously being used to produce nitrogen-rich gas is regenerated. Each such switching of beds is prefaced by a pressure adjustment step in which the two beds are placed in communication with one another by pipelines 50 and 52 so that gas from the higher pressure bed flows into the lower pressure bed. Flow restricting valves 58 and 60 restrict this passage of gas and prevent the pressures in the two beds from being equalised. <IMAGE>
