Patent GB-2208430-A (GB)
Title: Monochromators
Inventor: TERMANIS ALEKSANDRS
IPC: G01J3/18
Filed: 1987-07-24
Abstract: A scanning monochromator has a linear array of optical sensors 26, a secondary light source, and an optical path 27 from the light source to the sensors via either the diffraction grating 12 of the monochromator or a further grating 20 fixedly mounted with respect thereto. As the selected wavelength of the spectrum of the main emission source is altered, the diffracted light from the second light source scans across the optical sensor array 26 and thereby changes the output, so that an accurate indication of the current position of the monochromator grating 12 can be obtained. Light from the main and secondary sources passes through a slit 8, is collimated by a mirror 10, is reflected by the gratings 12 and 20 and is focussed by a mirror 16 onto an extra slit 14 and a deflecting prism 24, respectively. <IMAGE>

Title: Adjustable plough draft linkage arrangement
Inventor: BARRETT ERIC JAMES
IPC: A01B15/14
Filed: 1988-01-15
Abstract: In a draft linkage in which a parallelogrammic linkage (3) is operable for effecting side or offset adjustment of the plough beam (1), the linkage (3) is adjustable relative to a tractor mounting cross member (4) for imparting angular adjustment to the plough beam (1) according to required furrow width (FF or F). For this purpose, a variable length actuator such as a ram (5) and/or screw mechanism acts between the cross beam (4) and linkage (3) at pivotal connections (54) and 323). For obtaining corresponding automatic angular adjustment of pivotally mounted plough body brackets (20), the foremost of such interconnected brackets is pivotally linked (at 23, 24) to the cross member (4), the linking including toggle linkage (23) acting between the foremost bracket (20) and the beam (1) for imparting angular adjustment to the brackets on the beam (1). The link (24) is generally parallel with the parallelogrammic linkage (3) for side movement therewith. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2210850-A (GB)
Title: Air excluding paint kettle
Inventor: SNELL ROLAND THURSTON
IPC: B65D51/32
Filed: 1988-05-20
Abstract: A paint kettle, from which air is expelled and excluded so preventing the formation of skin on the surface of the paint and thus preventing wastage and paint deterioration due to the evaporation of its constituents, comprises a flexible, collapsible bag 2 with a specially shaped diaphragm sealed to its top rim 3 inside a cylindrical kettle 1. The diaphragm has a depression 4 in its centre which serves as a receptacle for the paint being applied by brush. The paint enters the receptacle through a hole 6 in its base after all air has been expelled through a vent 5 at the highest point of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is so shaped that only enough paint for a single brush loading enters the receptacle and when this is taken up by the brush it is immediately replenished by the paint in the main container finding its own level and taking the diaphragm down with it. After use the hole 6 is sealed with a screw stopper after ensuring that all air has been expelled by opening air vent 5 and pressing on the diaphragm until paint appears at the air vent 5. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2249930-A (GB)
Title: Dirt compensated flying spot scanner burn corrector
Inventor: MILLWARD JOHN DAVID
IPC: H04N3/20
Filed: 1990-11-16
Abstract: Two photomultipliers 14, 16 are arranged one on either side of a CRT 10 primary optical axis adjacent the imaging lens. High frequency components of the detected CRT brightness signal from the two photomultipliers are applied to the "gate" 32. When the signals are equal, one or other of the signals will be selected by the "gate". When the signals are unequal, the lower one will be rejected. Thus signals caused by faceplate dirt 20 are eliminated, since they appear displaced in time from the photomultipliers, due to the spacing of the dirt from the scanning beam and the spacing of the photomultipliers. Phosphor grain and blemish signals occur at the outputs of the photomultipliers simultaneously and are allowed through the "gate" to provide correction and attenuation of these unwanted signals. <IMAGE>
