Title: Protecting dark areas
IPC: H05B39/08
Filed: 1980-06-09
Abstract: A method of protecting a dark area comprises the steps of illuminating the area repetitively by means of flashes of light spaced in time by intervals longer than the duration of a flash.

Title: Apparatus for performing operations on a railway track
IPC: E01B29/00
Filed: 1980-07-18
Abstract: Apparatus (24) for performing rail-shifting or other operations on a railway track is mounted on an intermittently-advanced carriage (11) carrying pivotal or other detecting means (3) to detect a certain location such as a sleeper projection (6). Sequencing means is provided whereby the certain location is detected by the detecting means (3), when, with the carriage (11) stationary an operation is performed by the apparatus (24) in the vicinity of said certain location whilst at the same time the means (3) is raised and moved forward towards the next location to be detected. The operations may comprise the driving of rail-fastening clips and/or spikes and/or the placing of electrical insulators and/or the correct positioning of the rails or one of them. In the embodiment described the intermittently-advanced carriage (11) is movably suspended beneath the chassis of a vehicle (Fig. 1, not shown) which is continuously advanced slowly, the advance of carriage (11) being effected step-by-step by a jack (8) associated with rail-gripping brakes (16, 9) on a trolley (7) having a lost-motion coupling with the carriage (11). The lost-motion coupling is provided by stops (5) associated with a rotatable rod (4) which carries the detecting means (3) and extends the length of the trolley (7). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2070827-A (GB)
Title: Sampling pulse generator
IPC: G01R13/34
Filed: 1981-02-23
Abstract: A digital time base for producing sample clock pulses is provided with a control circuit to permit coherent switching from one sample rate to another. A plurality of predetermined sampling rates and number of samples to be acquired at each rate are stored in a memory. The predetermined sampling rates provide count moduli to a counter which divides the frequency of a base clock in accordance therewith to produce the actual sample clock pulses. A counter is provided to count the sample clock pulses, and when the desired number of pulses are generated, a next succeeding sampling rate and number of samples to be acquired are accessed from the memory. The rate switching to change the count modulus takes place between last sample clock pulse generated for a particular sampling rate and the next succeeding base clock pulse so that such switching is coherent. <IMAGE>

Title: Re-closeable Package
IPC: B65D77/14
Filed: 1981-03-12
Abstract: A reclosable package (18) is provided by closing the top of a filled bag to form a neck (N), preferably trimming the walls of the bag of the same height, folding over a portion (N%) of the neck, preferably only once, and sealing the folded over portion of the neck to a side wall (W) of the bag using a composite tape (80, 82) comprising a length of a first tape (80) having a non-setting adhesive coating on one surface and a length of a second tape (82) overlapping one edge of the adhesive coated surface of the first tape. The first tape seals or reseals the bag, and the second tape provides a tab for peeling the first tape partially from the bag to open the package and also provides a vehicle for coupons or other printed matter. Perforations (134) provide a line of weakness so that such printed matter may be removed from the package and still leave a tab. A hot melt adhesive can be provided on the second tape (82) to act as a once only seal. Apparatus to close, trim and fold the bag and to combine and apply the lengths of tape are also described. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2089122-A (GB)
Title: Semiconductor integrated circuit interconnections
IPC: G11C11/401
Filed: 1981-10-15
Abstract: A first signal line A1, a second signal line B0 and a third signal line A2 are formed on a substrate 1 of a semiconductor integrated circuit. The effective distance 1A1B0 between the first signal line and the second signal line is substantially equal with the effective distance 1A2B0 between the second signal line and the third signal line. The first signal line transmits a first signal e1. The third signal line transmits a third signal -e1, of which the phase is opposite to that of the first signal. Thus, the cross talk from the first signal line to the second signal line can be cancelled by the cross talk from the third signal line to the second signal line. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2089753-A (GB)
Title: Guide means for guidance of moving parts on an endless conveyor
IPC: B66B23/14
Filed: 1981-10-22
Abstract: The guiding apparatus comprises substantially rectangular rail holders and L-shaped rail holders. Main and follower travel rails or tracks are supported by such rail holders and there are provided side plates at which there are mounted the rail holders, the side plates being supported upon a carrier frame. These rail holders are provided at their attachment or fastening side with at least two respective centering protuberances or nubs or the like which engage into corresponding centering openings provided in the side plates to which the rail holders are fastened. The rail holders possess, at their rail contact side, a dovetail clamping device which, in cooperation with a dovetail profile or section extending along the underside of the travel rail or track, to reliably and easily releasably holds the travel rails and the rail holders by virtue of a clamping action which is exerted at all sides of the dovetail profile. The side plates, and, in particular, the position of their centering openings are produced true or exact to size and with narrow tolerances so that in cooperation with the related centering protuberances and the rigid dovetail clamping there is automatically ensured parallelism and alignment of the travel rails or tracks required for a quiet escalator or stair running. The guiding apparatus can be assembled without the need to resort to assembly fixtures or jigs and without subsequent adjustment from individual mass-produced parts.

Title: Tumble dryer
Inventor: SACK GUNTER
IPC: D06F58/30
Filed: 1982-04-19
Abstract: A discontinuous through-feed tumble drier for pre-drying, completely drying, cooling and shaking up large batches of washing of any type, may be operated as a convection drier with heated mixed air consisting of fresh air fed from the outside and used circulating air, and furthermore with cooling air from the environment and finally with heated pure fresh air. For air guidance there are provided above the drier housing a fan (11), a heat exchanger (6), a circulating-air channel branch (13) with a circulating-air control damper (12), a cooling-air channel branch (15) with the cooling-air control damper (14) as well as a circulating-air funnel (8), and a suction funnel (9), elbows (10, 16, 18) and a connecting pieces (17). The circulating-air control damper (12), which can be fixed in position and is located inside the circulating-air channel branch (13), which is superimposed on the fan (11), divides the waste-air stream into a discharge- air stream, which emerges upwardly into the open, and into a circulating- air stream, which is returned into the drier interior. The cooling-air control damper (14), which is synchronously adjustable with the inlet door (5), inside the cooling-air channel branch (15) downstream of the circulating-air channel branch (13) prevents the circulating-air stream from passing to the heat exchanger (6), as the inlet door (5) is opened, and uncovers the flow passage to the outlet door (21) via an injection elbow (18). <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2097497-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to actuators especially for brakes
IPC: F16D65/56
Filed: 1980-02-14
Abstract: In a sliding caliper disc brake actuator, an actuating shaft 39 is rotatable to rotate a helical cam element 23 that in turn axially displaces a non-rotatable cam element 22. The element 22 and 23 are located in a bore 21 in a caliper leg 16 with an automatic adjusting mechanism 18. A helical return spring 58 acts via a washer 59 to bias the cam elements together and a push rod 53 of mechanism 18, is held against rotation by a washer 59. A nut 48 of mechanism 18 is threaded onto the rod 53 and engaged by cam element 22 to transmit axial force to the push rod 53 and relative extension of the push rod from the elements 22, 23 is accomplished by a one-way spring brake 72 acting on the nut 48 and a disc clutch drive 63 to 69 between the cam element 23 and the nut 48. Lost motion is provided at the clutch drive or the spring brake to prevent rotation of the nut 48 on the rod 53 during normal clearance, and rotation of the nut on the push-rod occurs when excessive clearance occurs. <IMAGE>
