Title: Temperature indication
Inventor: LEICHNITZ KURT
IPC: G01K3/02
Filed: 1984-09-27
Abstract: A sealed tube (1) contains an ampoule (4) and a granular indicating layer (5). The ampoule contains, for example, ethylene glycol on silica gel and the indicating layer (5) consists of chromosulphuric acid on silica gel. The glass tube (1) has a predetermined breaking point (8) and is covered with a shrunk-on flexible tube (9) which maintains the tube sealed. On bending the glass tube the ampoule is simultaneously broken and nascent ethylene glycol vapours enter the indicating layer (5) causing a progressive discolouration which is a measure of temperature and time. If the ambient temperature is known, the duration of temperature loads may be ascertained or, if the monitoring period is known, an average temperature may be ascertained. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-846569-A (GB)
Abstract: 846,569. Resilient couplings. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Nov. 9, 1956 [Nov. 10, 1955], No. 34329/56. Class 80 (2). [Also in Group XXVII] A drive for a starter comprises driving-means, a hollow shaft arranged to receive torque supplied by the driving-means, and located within the shaft, a flexible torque transmitting shaft connected at one end to the hollow shaft by means of a friction coupling and carrying at its other end a machine engaging jaw or the like located adjacent one end of the hollow shaft and having means for advancing the jaw in response to rotation of the hollow shaft transmitted through the friction coupling and the flexible torque transmitting shaft. As shown, a hollow shaft 24 carries the armature 20 of a dynamoelectric machine 10. A flexible shaft or torquerod 26 is positioned within the shaft 24. It carries a cone 32 having an outer surface arranged for frictional contact with the inner peripheral surface of the shaft 24. Thus torque may be transmitted from the dynamo-electric machine through the flexible shaft 26 to a jaw 54. Upon rotation of the flexible shaft the threads 61 are caused to travel in the helical grooves 50, thereby causing the jaw 54 to move to the right into a position in which the dogs 58 effectively transmit torque from the starter to the engine. The jaw comprises a weighted portion 56. The coacting threads on the flexible shaft and in the end 60 of the jaw member form a bearing similar to a bearing 62. A cocking action of the jaw on the flexible shaft is prevented. The flexible shaft 26 will twist to absorb shock and the limit of twist is controlled to a safe value by the friction clutch. The cover 44 is locked in position by a locking-ring 46.

Title: Coal-fired power plant
Inventor: ISHIHARA TAKAO
IPC: F02C3/26
Filed: 1985-02-15
Abstract: In a coal-fired power plant, high-temperature and high-pressure air and pulverised coal are introduced into combustion furnaces 2 in which the coal is burned at a high temperature to produce combustion gas and molten ash. Most of the ash is removed in the molten state from the gas; dust remaining in the gas is removed by a cyclone 20 disposed in a pressurizing coal combustion furnace 1. The removed dust and ash are subjected to heat exchange with secondary air 22 in a dust cooler 4 in the lower portion of the furnace 1. The temperature of the combustion gas at the outlet of the furnace 1 is adjusted to a predetermined level by mixing the combustion gas with the secondary air 22 admitted via nozzles 3. Dust in the combustion gas discharged is removed by a precision dust-removing device 5. The cleaned combustion gas is delivered to a gas turbine 6 in order to generate electric power; from the gas turbine exhaust steam is produced and used to generate electric power in a steam turbine 9. <IMAGE>

Title: Error generator
Inventor: ATTKINS PETER MICHAEL
IPC: H03K3/84
Filed: 1985-08-23
Abstract: The output of a pseudo-random sequence generator (SR,X1) is fed to a comparator (CP1, M1) which produces an output when a selected number of bits of the generator output matches a comparison word (from CR1); the number of bits selected (by MR1) determines the error rate.

Title: Treatment of gases
Inventor: CREED MALCOLM RONALD
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 1985-10-17
Abstract: The time taken for regeneration of molecular sieve-based adsorption beds used for pre-purifying, for example, natural gas to be liquefied can be significantly reduced by bringing the gas to be purified on-line without previously cooling the desorbed bed. Adsorption capacity is not affected since the cooling front precedes the adsorption front. Cooling is effected by passing the gas through the bed immediately after the adsorbed carbon dioxide and water are desorbed by the passage of a heated gas.

Title: Method and apparatus for applying anti-lacerative plastic layer to glass
Inventor: HERLICZEK SIEGFRIED H
IPC: B32B17/10
Filed: 1985-04-15
Abstract: A unique method for producing an anti-lacerative glass assembly wherein a plastic composite anti-laceration sheet (18) is to be bonded to a glass substrate sheet (14). The plastic anti-laceration sheet includes an inner layer of polyvinyl butyral (20) adapted to abut the glass substrate sheet, an intermediate layer (22) of polyester, and an outer layer (24) of abrasion resistant material. A glass cover sheet (30) having substantially the same curvature as the glass substrate sheet is utilized to press the anti-laceration sheet into bonding engagement with the glass substrate sheet. In accordance with the present invention, the bonding operation is accomplished by heating the laminated glass assembly a predertermined temperature in the range of 285<o>F to 305<o>F. It has been found that such a temperature must be sufficiently high to cause the intermediate layer of polyester to bond to the inner layer of polyvinyl butyral, and to cause the inner layer of polyvinyl butyral to bond to the glass substrate sheet, and must be sufficiently low to prevent crazing of the abrasion resistant coating. The present invention also concerns the use of a unique vacuum ring construction which is mounted about the periphery of the laminated assembly and is utilized to de-air the assembly. The vacuum ring (36) is provided with a check valve (38) to maintain the vacuum within the ring during periods wherein it is disconnected from a vacuum source. Further, the method of the present invention includes the step of removing a selected portion or portions of the anti-laceration sheet after it has been bonded to the glass substrate sheet to provide an exposed glass surface for use in mounting the glass assembly into an associated frame.
