Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB91/00157 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 4, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 4, 1992 PCT Filed Feb. 4, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO91/11745 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 8, 1991.The invention relates to optical elements, particularly retro-reflecting, retro-imaging and optical transmission inversion elements to relay a true scale equal conjugate image of a scene. Hitherto, the image had a resolution limit set by the pitch and/or packing density of micro-optical elements to reflect or transmit ray bundles impinging on them, the number of elements within the viewing zone determining the lateral and hence depth resolution in any given direction. The object of the invention is to reduce the effect of micro-screen texture in a relatively inexpensive manner, that provides real-time systems and which can be used with fast moving objects. This objective is met by an optical element comprising a retro-reflecting or auto-collimating transmission screen (9) having one or more lenses (6,10) and an associated means (8,11) of displacing wavelengths to different degrees and whereby to spread a reflected or transmitted image into a spectral streak. The means (8,11) of displacing wavelengths may be a grating, mechanically or optically blazed, or formed from prisms, or may be a diffraction or zone plate.

Abstract: A liquid crystal cell is prepared by bonding a pair of oppositely disposed electrode plates  (101)with a sealant (106) of a one-pack type epoxy adhesive to define a space to be filled with a liquid crystal (107). In advance of the use, the one-pack type epoxy adhesive is modified with an amine-type room temperature hardener to selectively reduce a low-molecular weight fraction in the epoxy adhesive so as to avoid a sealant flow at an elevated temperature. This is particularly advantageous when the sealant is used in combination with a particulate adhesive which is disposed in the liquid crystal space and activated at such an elevated temperature to bond the electrode plates while keeping an accurate gap between the electrode plates. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A high density segmented programmable array logic device utilizes a programmable switch interconnection matrix (401) to couple an array of symmetric programmable logic blocks (402A-1,402A-2).Each programmable logic block includes programmable logic macrocells (4122), programmable input/output macrocells (4132), a logic allocator (4112) and a programmable product term array (4102). Further, the switch matrix (401A) provides centralized global routing with a fixed path independent delay. The programmable switch interconnection matrix (401A) decouples the logic macrocells (4122) from the product term array (4102). The logic allocator (4112) decouples the product term array (4102) from the logic macrocells (4122) and the I/O macrocells (4132) decouple the logic macrocells (4122) from the package I/O pins (403A-1,403A-2). Thus, the architecture if this invention is easily scalable to higher density devices without compromising speed. The logic allocator (4112) steers product terms from the product term array (4102) to selected logic macrocells (4122) so that no product terms are permanently allocated to a specific logic macrocell. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An anti-theft system for an automatic teller machine (ATM) causes a currency alarm pack to deface the currency supply in the event that an attempt is made to transport the entire ATM. When the machine is moved, a localized field is momentarily activated and thereafter deactivated and disabled for a first predetermined interval. A triggerable currency alarm in the money supply of the machine, includes a field detector and a motion detector. The currency alarm is triggered when the following three conditions concur. First, the field detector detects the localized field and thereafter ceases to detect the localized field. Second, the motion detector detects motion of the currency alarm during a predetermined delay interval less than the first predetermined interval during which the field is disabled. Third, the field detector does not reacquire the localized field during the predetermined delay interval. Thus the currency alarm operates not only when an attempt is made to remove the currency supply from the machine, but also when an attempt is made to move the machine itself. <IMAGE>

After draining of the major part of the tank contents, but while residual contents of gas are present in vapourized state in the tank, the residual contents are conveyed for exchanging heat directly or indirectly with cold nitrogen. Nitrogen is vapourized and heated and conveyed to the tank, while the residual gas is cooled and condensed and conveyed to a collector tank. The plant comprises a heat exchange system connected to the supply of nitrogen, and residual gas is forced from the tank to be drained and through the heat exchange system in order to cause vapourization and heating of nitrogen to be conveyed to the tank, in such a manner that the residual gas from the tank condenses, whereby a collector container is connected for receiving condensed residual gas. In order to prevent that the residual gas freezes during the exchange of heat a cooling agent can be used which causes vapourization and heating of the nitrogen and which also is used for condensing the residual gas, without cooling the latter to below its freezing point.

Abstract: The system includes a bi-directional airlift spring having opposite end plates at either end located between two parallel control arms where expansion of the air spring pivots the upper and lower control arms w.r.t. a frame bracket thereby lifting an axle and wheels attached to it from engagement with the road surface. The end plates of the bi-directional air spring move about equally in opposite directions and remain parallel to one another throughout expansion and contraction of the air spring so as to about equally distribute forces of expansion of the air spring between the upper and lower control arms. The system also includes a shock absorber having one end attached to the upper control arm and another end attached to the lower control arm so as to locate the shock absorber forward of the axle thereby minimising shock travel and maximising shock life. The upper control arm is pivotally connected to an axle seat by a bolt including an eccentric cam mechanism which allows one to adjust the caster angle of the axle when the need arises.
