Title: Two axis multisensor
Inventor: STEWART ROBERT E
IPC: G01C19/574
Filed: 1984-11-02
Abstract: A two axis rate and linear acceleration detecting multisensor is formed by mounting a pair of accelerometers of the constrained mass type within a case. The accelerometers are mounted orthogonal to each other in vibratory units responsive to an electromagnet therebetween. Rate is determined from the coriolis acceleration force experienced by the accelerometers which vibrate 180 degrees out of phase to minimize signal distortions resulting from transference of vibrational energy to the case and mountings. <IMAGE>

Title: Sliding door system
Inventor: CHENG ERIC KEITH
IPC: E05D15/10
Filed: 1984-12-05
Abstract: In a sliding door system, the abutting edges (70, 72) of the two doors (66, 68) are substantially planar in shape (as opposed to stepped or grooved) with the angle of the plane being less than 90<o> to the plane of the doors when they are in their abutting closed condition. This construction gives the doors a neat, clean appearance when seen from the front when closed. The pair of doors (10A, 10B) may be guided in their sliding movement by tracks (22, 24), in such a way that a first door is guided by first and second runners (14, 12). The first runner (14) runs in a first track (24). The second runner (12) runs in a second track (22), and the tracks are parallel or colinear over a part of their length and divide and diverge in the region of final positioning of the door concerned whereby the first runner following the first track and the second runner following the second track cause the door in its travel to its closed position to move into a position in which it abuts and is co-planar with a second door.

Title: Door stop arrangement
Inventor: STEELE ALAN REGINALD
IPC: E05B51/02
Filed: 1985-01-16
Abstract: A door control apparatus comprises a pair of cylinders (10, 12) embedded in a floor (14), each cylinder (10, 12) locating a respective piston (22, 24) and the cylinders (10, 12) being interconnected by a fluid line (18). The cylinder (10) is positioned within the path of opening of a door so that when the piston (22) is extended opening of the door is restricted. When retracted, the piston (22) does not obstruct opening of the door. The apparatus is commissioned so that when the piston (22) is extended, the piston (24) is retracted and vice versa. The cylinder (12) is positioned out of the path of opening of the door whereby, with the piston (24) normally extended to enable opening of the door, foot pressure on the piston (24) will extend the piston (22) to obstruct opening of the door and prevent unauthorised entry of any person. Such an apparatus is extremely useful, particularly as far as aged and infirm people are concerned. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for orienting containers
Inventor: CLAYPOOL M P
IPC: B65G47/244
Filed: 1985-07-24
Abstract: A container orienting apparatus suitable for flasks and other non-cylindrical containers (12) comprising a pair of continuously moving counter-rotating parallel belts (80,90) for engaging opposite sides of the cylindrical finish and/or neck of each container and for rotating each container a predetermined amount by changing the relative speeds of the belts for a predetermined time period. The amount of rotation necessary to rotate each container to a common second orientation is determined by a programmable control means (24) responsive to orientation sensors (111) which determine which one of a number of discrete first orientations each container is in prior to engagement by the belts. The amount of rotation which is required to achieve a predetermined common second orientation is achieved by moving the belts (80,90) accordingly. Each instruction set comprises that set of control signals which must be applied to the motors and clutches affecting belt motion to achieve a desired orientation. <IMAGE>
