Patent GB-2058415-A (GB)
Title: Push-pull Circuit
IPC: H02M3/337
Filed: 1980-08-08
Abstract: Circuitry measures the output current of a push-pull circuit of high power output. With such circuits there is the problem that the load current must be measured not on the secondary side of a transformer but on its primary side, to minimise losses. However, such measurement tends to be affected by disturbance currents which are caused by the loading of capacitances connected to the primary winding. To alleviate this problem, primary windings (W11, W21) of current transformers (SW1, SW2) are connected in series with the primary winding of a push-pull transformer (TR) and power transistors (TS1, TS2) driven in push- pull configuration. The secondary windings (W12, W22) of the current transformers (SW1, SW2) are connected differentially and the differential signal thus formed is further processed as a measurement signal. Disturbance currents are compensated by the differential formation. This can be used in direct voltage transformers and pulsed power supply units. <IMAGE>

Title: Coupling assembly for the releasable interconnection of a  driving and a driven unit in a transport system
IPC: B61B3/02
Filed: 1980-07-17
Abstract: A coupling assembly for the releasable coupling of a driving and a driven unit in a transport system, preferably of the type in which the driving unit is a self-propelled carriage on an overhead rail member, said carriage having a downwardly extending coupling rod (7) which via a coupling assembly (8) can be coupled to transport carriage on which a bracket (9) with a coupling pin (10) is secured. The coupling assembly is characterized in that it allows a certain lateral mobility in all directions when the coupling assembly (8) transmits tractive forces, and provides for a completely rigid coupling when the coupling assembly (8) transmits compressive forces. The rigid coupling is obtained because on the coupling pin (10) an in an opening for receiving the coupling pin (10) in a coupling pipe (11) there are provided cooperating engagements faces (14, 23 and 16, 24) which define two engagement areas which are sufficiently axially spaced to absorb a certain torque. When the coupling assembly (8) transmits tractive forces said mobility is obtained by provision of cooperating locking means (18, 19) for securing the coupling pin (10) in the coupling pipe (11) in a locking position in which said cooperating engagement faces are spaced.

Title: Position sensor
IPC: H03M1/00
Filed: 1981-05-08
Abstract: For producing readings representative of the position of a fluid-powered actuator a magnetic position-sensing system is used which is out of contact with the actuator's ram 28 and is completely united with the actuator's cylinder. The sensing system uses a periodic magnetic field pattern 30 on the ram 28 itself and a number of magnetic field detectors 32, 34 placed in an end plate 24 of the actuator clear of the ram's outer face. The true position of the ram within one period of the magnetization pattern is measured by electrical interpolation based on output signals of the different magnetic field detectors. The magnetic field pattern 30 may be induced in the material of the ram itself, or in a strip or layer of magnetisable material applied to or embedded in, the ram. The pattern 30 may be helical as shown, or may consist of axially-displaced rings of alternate polarity. <IMAGE>

Title: Aiming rocket launchers
Inventor: LLOYD PETER GREGORY
IPC: F41G7/00
Filed: 1981-08-03
Abstract: An autonomous weapon system comprises a rocket launcher 10 of rockets 11 which may be aimed towards a target, prior to firing, by movement of the launcher by drive 14. Control of the weapon is by a passive i.e. non-emitting primary detection means 15 such as formed by an array of microphones which detects a potential target by electronic scanning of the directional beam without movement of the weapon. When a target is detected the weapon moves to aim in that approximate direction of detection and an optical or thermal imaging system 16 is used to compare the target image with stored suitable targets. If verified as suitable, and within range (by size of image) the aim is centred on the target and a missile launched. The control 15, 16 and 17 maybe wholly or partially remote from the launcher or the optical imaging means 16 may be carried as part of a target seeking/homing device in the rockets. <IMAGE>
