Patent YU-45631-B (YU)
Inventor: MUELLER-SPAETH G
IPC: B22C9/06
Filed: 1984-06-29
Abstract: A process for producing a casting mould with chemically bound moulding material using a pattern is intended to make it possible to forego the use of clay-bound sand, in particular for the mass production of cast members, and to provide a casting mould of adequate gas permeability, which is simple to produce, with a low level of consumption of moulding material, and inexpensive, and which also provides a high level of casting quality wth a low degree of environmental pollution. For that purpose, the moulding material which has become pourable or fluid due to the operation of casting a cast member is removed from a first casting mould comprising a single moulding material, whereas the remaining portion of the moulding material is left, and the hollow space formed when the pattern is re-fitted is filled with moulding material. In addition, the moulding material which has been reduced in strength may be also removed, being for example blown or brushed out.

Title: Method for the production of heat using a heat pump, particularly for processes run only at high temperatures
Inventor: DIBELIUS G
IPC: F24J3/00
Filed: 1981-04-29
Abstract: In a method for the generation of heat using a heat pump in which a heat carrier fluid is heated by a heat exchanger and compressed with temperature increase in a subsequent compressor, heat is delivered therefrom to a heat-admitting process; the fluid is then expanded in a gas turbine, producing work, and afterwards its residual heat is delivered to a thermal power process, the maximum temperature of the energy sources of which, that provide work for the compressor, lies below the temperature of heat delivery. The main heat source can consist of an exothermic chemical or nuclear reaction and the heat-admitting process can be a coal gasification process. The work in the compressor is furnished essentially by the gas turbine and the thermal power process.

Title: Method and apparatus for feeding resiliently compressed articles to a form/fill/seal machine
Inventor: KINER ROBERT SAMUEL
IPC: B65B63/02
Filed: 1996-10-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus for feeding resiliently compressed articles into a form/fill/seal machine. The method includes steps of receiving horizontally compressed articles into an infeed end of a pair of conveyor belts, continuously conveying the compressed articles to a discharge end, continuously forming a plastic film around the pair of cantilevered conveyor belts without the stack of articles exerting expansion force against the plastic film, forming and sealing a closed tube, and releasing the stack of compressed articles into the closed tube only after the seal has sufficient strength to maintain the stack of articles compressed. The pair of conveyor belts has rigid conveyor backing members and cantilevered ends with a discharge pulley mounted at each cantilevered end. At least one tie bar connects the backing members near the cantilevered ends in order to resist the expansion force of one or more stacks of resiliently compressed articles between the conveyor belts.

Abstract: In a value transfer scheme, users are provided with programmable devices, for example, smart cards, capable of carrying data representing at least one available commodity value. Data representing user accounts is held at a remote processing station. Transactions between users are effected by the off-line exchange of data between users'respective smartcards, the exchanged data containing a record of each transaction entered into. The user account data for each user's account held at the remote processing station is updated only subsequently when the user's smartcard is on-line to the remote processing station and data therefrom is uploaded to the remote processing station. The scheme of the invention can, conveniently, be based around the ITSO scheme which is used to govern the secure transfer of data The scheme is capable of providing a secure multi-commodity value transfer system.

Title: Vibrational gyroscope
Inventor: CHURCH PETER DUDLEY
IPC: G01C19/5691
Filed: 1985-09-02
Granted: 1988-04-20
Abstract: A vibrational gyroscope is provided with a vibrating member in the form of a flexible annular shell extending from a flat flexible plate. In use, the flat plate is vibrated and excites radial vibrations in the lip of the annular shell. When the gyroscope is rotated about the shell axis, the nodes of these radial vibrations shift around the circumference of the lip, due to the action of Coriolis forces. The radial nodes of the vibrations in the plate shift similarly and their movement is detected by sensing means on the plate, giving an indication of the rotation rate.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrophoresis
Inventor: MACKAY CRAIG DOUGLAS
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 1986-05-23
Granted: 1988-12-14
Abstract: Light from the pattern of spots of bands resulting from electrophoresis is detected by a two-dimensional charge coupled device (26). Visualisation of the spots or bands may be achieved by viewing in transmitted light if the material subject to electrophoresis is dyed, by fluorescent markers in the material stimulated by untraviolet, or by a scintillating material if radioactive markers are used.Preferably the charge coupled device (26) is cooled to suppress thermal dark current, improving sensitivity and dynamic range.Light can be detected from moving components during separation by electrophoresis by clocking the charge coupled device to move charge packets in synchronism with movement of the components. This means that each charge packet moves through all the elements of a charge coupled device column during the detection, resulting in automatic averaging for the detection sensitivity variations in the charge coupled device column. Further, it is thereby possible to detect each separated band or spot at the same position in the gel at different times, and thus at the same degree of resolution, instead of detecting the bands or spots at different positions at the same time.
