IPC: B01D46/12
Filed: 1972-05-08
Abstract: Fluid is transported through a filter surface, both sides of which reduced press. is maintained; the first ensuring the discharge of the filtrate and the second maintaining a part of the fluid in the upstream path parallel to the filter surface, so as to carry the particles with it to the particle outlet, at a flow rate gradually decreasing along this path from the inlet of the fluid to be filtered to the particle outlet, incorporating the novel feature whereby the average velocity of the fluid is maintained substant. constant and sufficiently large for the friction exerted by it on the filter walls to limit the thickness of the particle layer deposited.
Patent FR-916150-A (FR)
Inventor: PATCHETT GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: F41A19/33
Filed: 1945-10-23
Granted: 1946-11-27
Abstract: 559,469. Automatic firearms. PATCHETT, G. W., and STERLING ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. Aug. 17, 1942, No. 11520. [Classes 92 (ii) and 119] Relates to change-fire mechanism applicable particularly to recoiling breech-bolt guns of the blowback type. The sear 18 is mounted on the same pivot 17 as a trigger-operated sear-carrier 15 and has a forked tail 18b which receives the T-headed arm 20 of a sear-locking lever 19 pivoted on the carrier 15. The lever 19 has arms 19a, 22 which co-act with the finger 23 of a selector device, which may be set in positions B, C, D for safety, single shots, or automatic firing. The trigger 8 rocks the carrier by contact of a shoulder 14 with a roller 13 on the carrier. When the selector finger is in position B, it engages the locking-lever arm 22 and prevents movement of the sear-carrier and sear. In position C, when the trigger is pulled, the carrier is rocked clockwise and the finger 23 engages the arm 19a thereby rocking the lever 19 and disengaging its T-head from the sear tail. The sear is thus released and is urged upwards to recocking position by a spring-plunger device 21 which acts also upon the locking-lever. Upon release of the trigger, the carrier 15 together with the lever 19 are returned to cocked position, the former by a spring 11 and the latter by spring 21. In position D, the selector finger 23 cannot engage the locking-lever, which therefore holds the sear locked to the carrier 15, so that the sear remains depressed as long as the trigger pull is maintained. The sear is operative to hold the breech-bolt in open or closed positions, and when the mechanism is closed and set for "safety", the bolt cannot be jolted to open position. The trigger is shaped at 9 so as to fit closely in the triggerplate opening.

Filed: 2000-06-30
Abstract: In third generation packet data communication systems there are currently three kinds of channel provided for uplink: Random Access Control Channel (RACH), Common or Enhanced Packet Channel (CPCH), and Dedicated Channel (DCH). For downlink there are two kinds: Forward Access Channel (FACH), and Downlink Shared Channel (DSCH). In prior solutions, a network has no knowledge of which procedure should be invoked by a Radio Network Controller (RNC). As such, it is not possible for a network to select a most suitable procedure without being informed. In order for a network to optimise performance the network (RNC) is able to select the most suitable channel type for packet data transfer. The most suitable procedure may differ for bi-directional and uni-directional packet transfer.

Patent GB-2354895-A (GB)
Title: Isolated multiple grating systems for filtering
Inventor: LI LUKSUN
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1996-12-30
Abstract: The use of more than one signal wavelength in an optical communication link requires the ability to separate the wavelengths, at the detection stage of the system, with a high cross-talk suppression; for example, more than 40dB in some cases. In a wave guide, a highly efficient method for achieving this aim is to use a waveguide grating which behaves as a band pass filter in reflection and a band stop filter in transmission. In such a way, a signal at the wavelength of operation of the grating can be removed from the waveguide and processed for the information it contains. However, the required reflection and transmission specifications of certain specified filters are very tight, and as yet cannot be achieved simultaneously with a single grating. Accordingly, the present invention provides a fibre optic filtering device including, in sequence from the input of the device, a primary grating (2), an optical isolator (4) and a secondary grating (6) wherein the optical isolator only transmits light in the direction from the primary grating to the secondary grating. One of these gratings is an amplitude-profile-modified grating, the other is a chirped grating.

Title: Low noise silent chain
Inventor: HORIE HIROSHI
IPC: F16G13/04
Filed: 2001-03-15
Abstract: Each link plate (10) of a low noise silent chain has an inside meshing surface (11) formed on the inside flank of each link tooth (10a). The inside meshing surface includes a convexly arcuate mesh start portion (11a) disposed on a tip side of each link tooth, and a convexly arcuate mesh guide portion (11b) disposed on a root side of each link tooth. The arcuate mesh guide portion (11b) has a radius of curvature (Rb) and a circular arc length (Lb) which are greater than a radius of curvature (Ra) and a circular arc length (La), respectively, of the convexly arcuate mesh start portion (11a). When the silent chain engages a sprocket, the engagement proceeds smoothly and continuously from the inside meshing surface to the outside meshing surface. This contributes to the reduction of the noise level of the silent chain as a whole through suppression of meshing sound of the outside meshing surface and vibratory chain noise.
