Title: Integrated circuit with gate conductor defined resistor
Inventor: SMOOHA YEHUDA
IPC: H01L27/02
Filed: 1994-08-31
Abstract: A doped semiconductor distributed resistor is placed in series with the drain (403) of a field effect transistor, typically for electrostatic discharge protection of an integrated circuit. The resistor is defined with a mask (408) formed from the same conductor layer (e.g., polysilicon) that forms the transistor gate conductor (406). To avoid a floating gate, the conductor mask may be tied (409) to the associated output bondpad (413). The advantages of using a gate conductor-defined resistor as compared to the prior-art practice includes better control of the resistor dimensions. Hence, the overall size of the output transistor and resistor may be reduced as compared to prior-art techniques, while achieving a high level of ESD protection. <IMAGE>

The heating fluid may comprise antifreeze or warm seawater (Figure 2). <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2285693-A (GB)
Title: Improved power meter
Inventor: PAYNE KENNETH
IPC: G01R21/133
Filed: 1993-03-13
Abstract: An apparatus for measuring electrical power is described wherein the apparatus is adapted to produce an output signal proportional to the product of a supply voltage and current flowing through a connected load. A first signal proportional to the supply voltage and a second signal proportional to the load current are used to inverse modulate (at 5 and 4 respectively Fig. 1 not shown) the period of two constant frequency carrier signals. Third and fourth signals derived from the modulated signals are transmitted to a microprocessor, for example via electrical isolating devices 7 and 6. Intervals between successive pulses at 10 are digitised by subtracting counts of a cycling counter at successive pulses. The average interval corresponding to zero voltage is subtracted to give an instantaneous voltage value which is multiplied with a similarly derived current value to give instantaneous power consumption. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2291168-A (GB)
Title: Wellbore perforating apparatus and method
Inventor: HUBER KLAUS B
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 1995-07-04
Abstract: A new perforating method and release apparatus enables a wellbore operator to perforate long length intervals of a wellbore during a single perforating run into the wellbore, the interval of the wellbore being perforated being longer in length than the length of a wellhead lubricator. A perforating gun string includes a detonating cord 20g and an automatic release apparatus interconnected between a first part 16 of the gun string located above the release apparatus in the wellbore and a second part 18 of the gun string located below the release apparatus in the wellbore. The automatic release apparatus includes a frangible member 20f which will shatter in response to a detonation wave propagating in the detonating cord thereby initiating a release of the second part 18 of the gun string from the first part 16 by releasing a piston 20d. The initiation of the release takes place before the perforating gun of the second part 18 detonates. The second part subsequently falls to a bottom of the wellbore and the first part of the gun string is raised to a surface of the wellbore. As a result, the subsequent detonation of the perforating gun of the second part will not shock and break the conveyor from which the perforating gun is suspended in the wellbore.   <IMAGE>

Title: An energy storage rotor with axial length compensating means
Inventor: FULLWOOD DAVID TOD
IPC: F16C35/06
Filed: 1995-10-03
Abstract: An energy storage and conversion apparatus 1 comprises a rotor 13 having a shaft 9 which is supported by a pin 31 of pin bearing 27 in an end cap 29. End cap 29, as the rotor 13 speed increases, deflects from a conical shape to a planer shape, thereby compensating for decreases/increases in the axial length of rotor 13 due to, for example, centrifugal forces. The rotor 13 is enclosed in a vacuum chamber 7 and is driven by stator 11 to store kinetic energy and acts with the stator 11 as a generator to produce electricity. The pin bearing may have load relief start-up in which pin head (105, fig 4) generates sufficient pressure to provide a film of oil between the pin head (105, fig 4) and the cup (103, fig 4) so as to lift the rotor 13 off the ball bearing race (113, fig 4). Heat generated in the pin bearing is dispersed by oil circulating in channels and cavities.

Patent GB-2307276-A (GB)
Title: Multi-phase fluid compressor
Inventor: OTTER ANDRIES
IPC: F04D31/00
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: A multi-phase fluid compressor comprises a rotating trumpet-shaped shroud (7) which co-axially surrounds the impeller (1) such that, besides the primary fluid passage (11) formed by the impeller (1) in which predominantly gaseous components are compressed, an annular secondary fluid passage (10) is formed through which predominantly liquid and solid constituents are transported. Thus, the shroud (7) will reduce contact between said constituents and the impeller (1) which rotates in use at high speed to compress the gaseous components, thereby reducing frictional forces exerted to, and wear of, the impeller.

Title: Two stage fuel injection for a compression ignition engine
Inventor: MA THOMAS TSOI HEI
IPC: F02B1/12
Filed: 1997-09-02
Abstract: A compression ignition combustion engine that has fuel injected into a cylinder in two stages or feeds; the first stage injects fuel at the end of the induction stroke or beginning of the compression stroke to form a premixed charge with a fuel/air ratio insufficient to cause auto-ignition after compression; and a second stage that injects fuel during the compression stroke to form a locally rich mixture cloud that auto-ignites before the end of the compression stroke and either ignites the premixed charge or increases the temperature and pressure in the cylinder so that the premixed charge auto-ignites. Embodiments are described where either one injector is used to perform both injection stages or two separate injectors are used, one for each stage. Where two injectors are used the first fuel injector may be a low pressure type for introducing a widely dispersed fuel spray and the second injector may be a high pressure type for introducing a narrow and highly atomised fuel spray. However it is preferred to use one electromagnetic injector for both injections.

The retaining means may be formed from one or more deformable strips whose ends are located on an interior surface of the holder (40, Fig. 4). Alternatively, they may be provided by one or more pairs of deformable strips (42, Fig. 5) where the furthermost ends of each pair of strips are fixed to the interior surface, the adjacent ends being slightly separated (44, Fig. 5). Further features include complimentary coupling formations (Figs. 6, 7) which allow a number of holders to be stacked and locked together, a gripping element 30 for the holder and space for a booklet with ridges 80 to hold it in position.
