Title: Frangible pipe coupling-single divisable ball valve
Inventor: STRICKLAND KEVIN
IPC: F16K17/40
Filed: 1984-08-15
Abstract: A divisable single ball valve coupling has two independent body members 1,20, the first member containing a half ball valve sphere 8 with retaining and operating means 12, sealing system 4 with its means of movement, and a frangible means (29,30, Fig. 1) of locking the two body members.

Title: Speed determination from exhaust note
Inventor: RICHARDSON JOHN JAMES
IPC: G01P3/42
Filed: 1985-04-30
Abstract: A method for determining the speed of operation of a pneumatic motor is provided which includes sensing air pressure variations produced from its exhaust and converting these to a signal representing the speed. A speed determination system comprises a transducer 4 for sensing air pressure variations produced from the exhaust 3 of a pneumatic motor 2 driving a device 1 and produces an electrical signal proportional to the frequency of the variations thereby representing the speed of operation of the motor. This signal may be used to operate means for controlling the speed of the motor.

Title: Forming a head on carbonated beverages ultrasonically
Inventor: WELLINGTON STEPHEN LESLIE RUSS
IPC: B67D1/08
Filed: 1985-11-11
Abstract: In order to form or enlarge the head on a carbonated beverage such as beer when it is dispensed, at least a portion of the beverage is subjected to ultrasonic vibration. This vibration causes dissolved gas to come out of solution. The frequency of vibration may be between 20 and 50 kHz. In one practical arrangement a shallow metal dish with an electromagnetic transducer on its underside is recessed into a bar counter. After a glass of beer has been dispensed, the glass is placed in the dish (which contains a little water) and the transducer operated under the control of a push-button to generate ultrasonic vibrations. In another practical arrangement beer flows to a dispense tap through a bore in a block connected to a similar transducer. When the tap is opened a timer starts to operate. At predetermined time intervals the transducer is operated for predetermined time periods, each lasting about one or two seconds. Alternatively the duration of the time intervals is controlled by a flow meter.
