Title: Direct Injection Engine With an Eccentric Combustion Chamber Recess in the Piston
IPC: F02B3/06
Filed: 1981-11-20
Abstract: Air is introduced into the combustion chamber 4 to swirl in the direction of the arrow a and the main fuel stream 14 is injected towards an area 13 of the side wall 15 of the eccentric piston recess 8 which is adjacent a region 11' of the recess in which squish flow b near top dead centre accelerates air swirl in the recess. The main injection at high load occurs between 20 and 5 DEG  before and at low load occurs between 35 and 15 DEG  before or between 8 DEG  before and 5 DEG  after top dead centre so that the fuel stream is less broken up at high load. <IMAGE>

Title: Security closure
Inventor: MANDER MICHAEL GEORGE
IPC: E05C9/18
Filed: 1980-04-23
Abstract: A pair of deadlocks 14 and 15 mounted respectively adjacent the top and bottom of a door 10 have their dead bolts 19 operatively connected together by an operating bar 26 so that they can be extended and retracted together by means of a handle 32 of a combined deadlock and latch mechanism 16. Extension of the dead bolts 19 is performed by moving the handle 32 upwardly from a horizontal position, the handle then returning automatically to its horizontal position without retracting the dead bolts 19. Retraction of the dead bolts 19 is achieved by moving the handle downwardly from its horizontal position, which also retracts a latch bolt 41 of the mechanism 16. Such an action of the handle 32 is permitted by lost motion between the handle and the operating bar 26 imparted by a lug 56 which rotates with the handle and an arcuate slot 55 in an operating cam 54 which is coupled to the bar 26. <IMAGE>

Title: Thermostat with temperature pull-down facility
IPC: H01H35/26
Filed: 1982-06-09
Abstract: A thermostatic switch unit for controlling a freezer or refrigeration apparatus in automotive air conditioning, includes a switch (1) which is acted upon by a thermostat mechanism responsive to the working temperature of the evaporator so as to maintain this temperature within a normal working range which is presettable by means of a control knob (18) in a conventional manner. By depressing manually a push button (26) mounted centrally in the control knob (18) a spring loaded trip lever (29) is rotated to release a spring loaded lever (35) into engagement with a switch operating plunger (2, 3), closing the associated switch contacts (21) and causing the compressor motor of the apparatus to run until a low temperature, below the preset working range of the equipment, is reached, when the latch mechanism (29, 35) is reset automatically by a temperature sensing bellows (8) acting through an operating lever (4) of the thermostat mechanism. Such a semi- automatic temperature pull-down cycle can be selected by the push button (26) irrespective of the setting of the working temperature control knob (18). <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for producing solutions
Inventor: COOPER RUPERT OLIVER BIRCHENAL
IPC: B01F1/00
Filed: 1984-04-13
Abstract: A tank suitable for the batch production of relatively large quantities of solutions, such as liquid fertiliser, has a base wall 10, there being an indicator mounted centrally to upstand from that base wall. The indicator comprises a rigid pole 16 carrying three triangular markers 17, apex lowermost, one marker touching the base wall and the other two being spaced upwardly therefrom, their positions being determined by calculation or empirically. Liquid is run into the tank until the level reaches the middle marker, and then solid is added until the liquid level reaches the top marker, the solution thus being produced on a volumetric basis. If the tank is not completely empty, the level relative to the lowest marker is noted and the level is raised to corresponding positions of the middle and top markers. <IMAGE>

Title: Quick fill master cylinder
Inventor: REINARTZ HANS-DIETER
IPC: B60T11/224
Filed: 1984-10-12
Abstract: A tandem master cylinder (1), particularly for the brake system of an automotive vehicle, has a first and a second pressure chamber (10 and 11) and a filling chamber (52). Upon operation of the tandem master cylinder (1), and movement of the input piston (6), piston (74) seats at one end on valve ball (56) and displaces fluid from the filling chamber (52) into the first pressure chamber (10) via bores 71 and 53 and an annular seal (67). Upon reaching of a certain pressure in the filling chamber (52), set by spring (62), the control valve (48) will open. Thus fluid from the filling chamber (52) will vent towards the chamber (31), exposed to atmospheric pressure, via the control valve (48). The pressure stage piston (25), together with the pressure chamber (10), form the first pressure stage required for the actual braking operation. The second pressure stage is formed by a second piston (9) and the second pressure chamber (11). Upon operation of the input piston (6), the second piston (9) will be operated by the compression spring (78) until there is a pressure build-up in the second pressure chamber (11). Thereupon, the second piston (9) will be displaced by the pressure of the first pressure chamber (10). The pressure stage is confined by the larger piston diameter (25) and the filling stage is confined by the smaller piston diameter (74). <IMAGE>

IPC: A61B6/02
Filed: 1985-05-08
Abstract: An X-ray system in which a source (XT) directs X-radiation through a subject to a receptor (A) which produces a secondary planar light image (IA). The light image is projected on the planar input face of a light intensifier (I) after passing through the scanning aperture of a moving mask (D2) substantially at the plane of the projected light image. The scanned image then passes to a video tube (VT). A moving X-ray mask (B1) with a scanning aperture is preferably disposed between the source (XT) and receptor (R) and the X-ray and light masks (D1, D2) are then driven in synchronism with their apertures optically superimposed.

Title: Stabilized DC to DC/AC converter
Inventor: SOMMERVILLE THOMAS A
IPC: H02M7/537
Filed: 1985-07-15
Abstract: In the primary circuit of a dc-to-dc converter or (dc-to-ac converter by omitting 41-46), transistor switching units are associated with two primary windings 33, 34, of a transformer 30. The transistor switching units each control the flow of current through an associated winding. The first transistor 20 is activated by apparatus 10 that alternatively applies and removes activation signals to the transistor and consequently allows conduction through the transistor and the associated winding. The second transistor 21 receives activation signals from a third primary winding 32 and causes conduction of current through the associated primary transformer winding. The activation signal from the third winding, causing the second transistor to be conductive, is the result of interruption of current in the first primary transformer winding. The activation signals produced by the third primary transformer winding is removed when the first transistor is activated and current flows in the first primary winding. <IMAGE>
