Abstract: A switch arrangement has a switch (10) having a moveable beam (18) extending between two contacts (12,14), the beam (18) being biased into a position in which it connects together electrically the two contacts (12,14). A stop is provided for limiting the movement of the beam (18). An adapter (100) for actuating the switch (10) has a sprung contact for causing movement of the beam (18) and for making electrical contact with the beam (18). This enables the required movement of the beam (18) to be reduced, and allows tolerances to be taken up in the adapter (100), specifically by providing a springloaded adapter contact. The beam (18) is subject to reduced stress which allows miniaturisation, increased manufacturing tolerances and/or the use of lower tensile materials. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fluid having utility in subterranean wells is formulated to include: an oleaginous fluid; and a solids tolerance agent having the formula:in which R is a C6 to C20 aliphatic group and R' is a C2 to C6 aliphatic group and x has a value from about 1 to about 10. Preferably R' is selected from ethyl and isopropyl and R is an unsaturated aliphatic group. The fluid is formulated such that the oleaginous fluid is from about 30% to about 99% by volume of said fluid. In one illustrative embodiment, the oleaginous fluid is composed from about 5% to about 100% by volume of the oleaginous fluid of a material selected from a group consisting of diesel oil, mineral oil, synthetic oil, esters, ethers, acetals, di-alkylcarbonates, olefins, and combinations of these and similar fluids. A non-oleaginous fluid may also be included in the formulation that is from about 1% to about 70% by volume of said fluid. The non-oleaginous fluid is preferably selected from sea water, a brine containing organic or inorganic dissolved salts, a liquid containing water-miscible organic compounds, and combinations thereof. Also included in the fluid formulation may be weighting agents, fluids loss agents, viscosity agents and other similar agents utilized in the formulation of oil-based and invert emulsion drilling fluids.

Abstract: A metal implant for use in a surgical procedure is provided with a surface layer that is integral with the metal substrate, and which incorporates a biocidal material. The surface layer may be grown from the metal substrate, by anodising, and the biocidal material incorporated in it by ion exchange. Alternatively the layer may be deposited by electroplating, followed by diffusion bonding so as to become integral with the metal substrate. In either case, silver is a suitable biocidal material; and both the release rate and the quantity of biocidal material should be low to avoid toxic effects on body cells. Electropolishing the surface before formation of the surface layer is also beneficial, and this may be achieved by electropolishing.

Abstract: It is common for lamps to be controlled from two switches so that, for example, a hall light can be turned on and off by either of two switches. There are occasions when it would be desirable for the lamp to be controlled by more switches, for example a switch at both ends of the hall and another on the landing above. <??>An electrical switch for AC is disclosed, for connection in parallel with others of the same kind. The switch has an operating member, a controlled switching device and a controller for controlling the time in a cycle from which the switching device conducts. The controller is responsive to the voltage across the switching device to detect a time in a cycle from which the switching device in one of the parallel switches conducts so as to determine whether all parallel switches are idle, that another switch is on, or when it is itself on that another switch has been operated. <??>When all parallel switches are idle the controller is responsive to an operating signal produced by operation of the operating member to perform an on function causing the switching device to conduct from a first set time within the cycle. The controller is being responsive to a subsequent operating signal to cause the switching device not to conduct, or to the determination that another switch has been operated to cause the switching device not to conduct. When another parallel switch is on, the controller is responsive to the operating signal to cause the switching device to conduct from a second set time in advance of the first and to perform an off function. <??>Installation of the switches is simple since they need only to be connected in parallel at the switch or the light fitting. Each switch can then both turn on the light or turn it off independently. <IMAGE>
