Title: Method and structure for interconnecting high frequency components
Inventor: LANDIS RICHARD CHARLES
IPC: H01L23/538
Filed: 1985-11-13
Abstract: A support board or substrate (20) is disclosed for interconnecting various electronic components (56, 58). One or more conductors (26) are embedded within the substrate for interconnecting the components. Each conductor is provided with shielding (40) to permit the exchange of high frequency signals between the components without cross-coupled interference. A structure is also disclosed for mounting and connecting an integrated circuit to a circuit board. The board has a plurality of embedded shielded conductors for interconnecting the integrated circuit to other devices on the board. In order to limit the capacitance and inductance of the connection, the integrated circuit is mass bonded directly, to the conductors and to their coaxial shields. The substrate or circuit board is composed of a plurality of planar layers each having conductive portions and dielectric areas, the conductive portions of successive layers being arranged to form an elongate conductor (26) within and spaced from an elongate coaxial shield (40). <IMAGE>

Title: Base unit for securing a road bollard to a road
Inventor: MYERS FRANK
IPC: E01F9/677
Filed: 1986-02-06
Abstract: A base unit for a transportable road bollard is provided with bayonet/threaded formations enabling the unit to be secured to a socket for a reflective stud in a road surface, and a through-hole for use in securing (e.g. bolting) the base unit to the road surface by means other than a stud socket, and the unit is invertible between a first orientation wherein it is compatible with a stud socket and a second orientation wherein it is compatible with an alternative socket. The unit comprises a slot capable of receiving (in either orientation) a stem of a bollard formed from semi-rigid sheet material. The stem has indentations which snap-interfit with resilient projections in the slot, so retaining and stabilising the bollard.

Title: Radio beacon receiver
Inventor: BARTON STEPHEN KINGSLEY
IPC: H03J7/32
Filed: 1986-05-09
Abstract: An integrated electrical filter includes resistors (R10-12) and capacitors (C10-12). The capacitors are controllable in value by means of a control circuit (100-109) and are formed by a binary weighted array of capacitor elements which are selectively connectable in parallel. A controlled oscillator (103 Fig. 1) or a controlled phase shifting network (113 Fig. 2) includes a capacitor of the same form as the filter capacitors. The oscillator (103) or phase shifter (113) form part of a phase locked loop (101, 104, 105, 107) which produces a digital code as its control signal at the output of an up/down counter (107). This digital code is latched in a register (109) to provide a control signal for the filter capacitors and is used directly to control the capacitor(s) in the controlled oscillator or phase shifter. <IMAGE>

Title: Sheet metal articles
Inventor: JACKSON FRED CLIVE
IPC: B21D11/20
Filed: 1986-09-22
Abstract: A sheet metal article is formed from one or more sheet metal panels (2), each having a channel (1) pressed into one surface of the panel (2) along a bend line. The panel (2) is bent along the bend line by grasping the panel (2) on both sides of the line and manually folding the panel. To increase rigidity, the channel (1) is formed such that the rims of the channel walls (3, 4) abut each other when the panel (1) is folded. A gently radiused bend in a panel can be achieved by pressing a plurality of parallel channels in a panel in a band of width 1.57R where R is the required bend radius. Panels formed with channels in this way are suitable as components in a flat-pack kit for assembling a box-like article. <IMAGE>

Title: Melting and casting non- ferrous and precious metals
Inventor: REID DAVID JOHN
IPC: B22D23/00
Filed: 1986-10-15
Abstract: The method includes producing a ceramic shell from a wax model and including an opening through which molten metal can be poured, joining a crucible (11) containing the metal (12) to be cast to the shell, firing the resulting structure to melt the metal, inverting the structure whilst the metal is molten so that it runs into the shell and, after cooling, obtaining the cast object from the shell. The shell can be made up from a series of coatings of ceramic material and the arrangement is such that the metal is poured directly into the hot shell without contact with the surrounding atmosphere. Where a metal such as silver is to be cast, a lump (14) of charcoal may also be enclosed in the crucible (11) to produce a reducing atmosphere. For cooling, the assembly may be placed in a bed of a fluidised material (16) such as sand or iron filings. <IMAGE>

Title: Valve for coffee makers
Inventor: BOLIVAR DOMINGO FIDEL AZPITART
IPC: B67D3/04
Filed: 1987-03-23
Abstract: In a water valve for coffee makers in which a valve body 101 is provided at one end with an axial hole 102 which communicates, through the cavity 103 of the valve body 101, with a radial opening 104 made in the wall of the valve body 101, the axial hole 102 may be closed by the plug end 114 of an axially displaceable shaft 105. The shaft 105 is provided at its rear end with radial bearings 107 which slide over cam profiles made as slopes 108 in a member 109 integral with a shaft 110 carrying a control knob 111 at its free and externally projecting end. Rotation of the control knob 111 in the closing operation causes displacement of the bearings 107 over the inclined plane 108, the displaceable shaft 105 thus moving axially against driving means 106 and resulting in closure of the axial hole 102. Opening is aided by the action of the driving means 106 which assist the movement of the bearings 107 along the inclined plane 108, thus opening the axial hole 102. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A split mold (12) is used which comprises a lower mold part (18) with a recess (18a) and an upper mold part (20) with a through bore (20a). The upper mold part is placeable on the lower mold part to form a combined cavity by the through bore and the recess. In order to provide the foamed product with a desirable bore, two shaping dies (14, 16) are employed which are combinable with each other to form a combined shaping body which is, upon molding, projected into the combined cavity of the split mold. Upon hardening of the product, the second die (16) is dismantled from the split mold before the first die (14). In the process, a skin member (30) is placed in the cavity and to form the product, a liquid material for the foamed plastics article is poured into the cavity before placing the second shaping die (16). …<IMAGE>…

Title: Treatment of aqueous waste material
Inventor: GARRETT MICHAEL ERNEST
IPC: C02F3/12
Filed: 1987-09-03
Abstract: A volume of aqueous waste material containing organic solids is passed to a pressure vessel 10 and has a volume of ozonised oxygen introduced therein to create a superatmospheric pressure in the head space 14. A stream is continuously withdrawn from the vessel 10 by pump 18 which is effective to comminute solids. Ozonised oxygen is drawn from headspace 14 via conduit 24 into the stream to form a dispersion of bubbles therein. The bubbles are carried with the stream to a nozzle 28 from which they are reintroduced into the liquid in the vessel 10 with the creation of turbulence to facilitate their dissolution. Treated liquid may be discharged to a flotation tank to separate particulate solids therefrom. The resulting solids may then be dewatered. <IMAGE>
