Title: Car-roof folding sleeping cabin
Inventor: MOOJEN LINDSAY GEOFFREY
IPC: B60P3/34
Filed: 1983-10-19
Abstract: A foldable platform providing a cabin base is formed in two or more parts (1 Fig. 3) and is mounted on upper runners 2 which are supported so as to be laterally slideable on lower runners 5. The lower runners 5 are mounted on a roof rack (9 Fig. 5), which is itself secured to a vehicle roof, by way of resilient means, e.g. springs (8 Fig. 5). For transit the walls and roof of the cabin are folded and sandwiched between the platform parts 1 which are secured together, the runners 5, 2 are fastened together, and the resilient means are clamped. In use, the platform is folded back so that the cabin is automatically erected, the runners are released and the platform slid sideways. Legs 17, 18 are attached to the corners of the platform and bear the weight of the platform when the resilient means are depressed by a weight exceeding the permitted loading of the vehicle roof. Screw means may be provided to depress the lower runners 5 clear of the upper runners (2 see Fig. 9) so that the vehicle can be driven away while the platform is supported by the legs 17, 18. <IMAGE>

Title: Methods of preparing Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers
Inventor: GIRLING IAN ROBERT
IPC: B05D1/20
Filed: 1984-07-25
Abstract: A method of preparing Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers on a substrate wherein the substrate is carried on a rotatable member which is partly immersed in a liquid and serves to divide the surface of the liquid into two discrete areas one of which areas carries a monolayer of a material and the other of which carries a monolayer of a different material, or carries no material. On rotation of the member carrying the substrate the substrate repeatedly passes in turn through the two areas forming a non-centrosymmetric multilayer on the substrate if the areas carry monolayers of different materials, or a Z-type film multilayer if only one area carries a monolayer.

Title: A traffic speed warning system
Inventor: CLEWLOW RICHARD THOMAS
IPC: G01P1/10
Filed: 1986-01-03
Abstract: Visible speed indicators are in the form of a coloured light or lights situated on the front of a vehicle, either grill, bumper, bonnet or roof.

Patent GB-2328575-A (GB)
Title: Range detection
Inventor: FRENCH HERBERT ALAN
IPC: G01S11/12
Filed: 1987-10-01
Abstract: Radiation from a self-illuminating or an illuminated target 51 is used to determine the target range by using an interferometer such as Mach Zehnder to split the radiation into two such that in an image plane light is received emanating from two apparent sources, the separation of which is determined by the target range. Radiation is split by a beam splitter 53 to follow two substantially identical paths 54,55 via mirrors 56,57 to a combining beam splitter 57. Converging lenses 58 and 59 of differing power are placed in the respective light paths and these result in the superimposition of two wavefronts of differing curvature in the plane of the camera 511. Fringes in the resulting interference pattern are measured by means of the camera 511 and the target range is calculated from these measurements.

Title: Packoff seal
Inventor: HOPKINS BOB C
IPC: E21B33/04
Filed: 1988-12-23
Abstract: A metal-to-metal packoff comprises a seal element 46 with a pair of annular metal sealing lips 52, 54 that are energized, i.e. expanded, into pressure-tight contact with opposed annular metal surfaces of, for example, a wellhead housing and an inner casing hanger by the wedging force of an annular expander mandrel 32a that has a cross-sectional configuration resembling that of a tuning fork with depending legs 72, 74. The legs, actually annular axial flanges, of the mandrel are radially compressed during that wedging-type seal energization action to result in production of bending energy in the legs as well as in the lips of the seal element, which energy maintains the seal lips in pressure-tight engagement with the opposed wellhead and hanger surfaces throughout wide variations in well pressures to which the seal element may be exposed. <IMAGE>

Title: Cover for a vehicle air bag
Inventor: SAWADA MASAMI
IPC: B60R21/2165
Filed: 1989-12-22
Abstract: A cover (1) for a vehicle air bag (2) comprises an external surface layer (1A) injection-molded from a thermoplastic material having a JIS-A hardness of 20 to 90 (determined by JIS K6301 -1975), and a core layer (1B) injection-molded from a thermoplastic material having a modulus of elasticity of not less than about 1000 kg/cm<2> as determined by JIS K7203- 1982, and a hardness greater than that of the surface layer. The core has weakened zones along which the cover breaks when the air bag is inflated. The softer surface layer does not cause discomfort to an occupant of the vehicle on contact therewith but the relatively hard inner layer resists deformation. Also, on fracture of the cover on inflation of the bag, fragments of the core do not scatter in the vehicle and are held together by the surface layer.

Title: Motor vehicle engine mounting
Inventor: EBERHARD GUNTER
IPC: F16F15/00
Filed: 1990-01-26
Abstract: An elastic mounting comprises an elastic rubber spring member (3) located between two connecting members (1, 2) in order to support a vibrating load whose vibration spectrum includes both low frequency and high frequency vibrations, in particular motor vehicle engine mountings. The spring member (3) is fitted with an electrostrictive or magnetostrictive actuator (4) in a mechanical arrangement in series. A sensor detects the alternating forces, alternating accelerations or vibrational displacements due to the vibrating load and is connected to the actuator (4) via an amplitude and phase regulator and amplifier wherein the regulation is so designed that the actuator (4) minimises the alternating forces, alternating accelerations and vibrational displacements applied to the sensor. The sensor may instead detect a characteristic parameter of a moving part of the vibrating load such as the angular position and/or rotation speed of an engine crankshaft. <IMAGE>
