The threaded rods are rotatable together by means of an electric or hydraulic motor 30 through sprockets and chains (see Fig. 3, not shown).
Patent GB-628281-A (GB)
Abstract: 628,281. Electric spark igniters. GENERAL BRONZE CORPORATION. Feb. 7, 1947, No. 3652. Convention date, June 19, 1946. Addition to 624,184. [Class 75(iii)] [Also in Group XXVII] The igniter of the parent Specification is modified by making the electrodes divergent. In Fig. 1 a high tension electrode 5 extends downwards through an insulator 6 in the burner casing 1 to terminate near the lower ends of two removable grounded elements 7, 8 which diverge upwards from the bottom of an oil burner cup 4 and are hooked over the rim of the burner cup. Each of the electrode elements 7, 8 comprises a U-shaped perforated metal part 9 containing porous rough surfaced wick material of low specific heat which becomes saturated with oil from the bottom of the burner cup. Initially sparking occurs where the gap between the electrodes is narrowest but gradually extends upwards to where the electrodes are more widely spaced thus igniting the finely divided oil suspended in the wick material 11. In a modification, Fig. 3, the igniter comprises two electrodes 14, 15 of U-shaped cross section each containing a fuel conductor 19 and extending downward in spaced relation into the burner cup. The serrated edges of the electrodes are so inclined that the spark gap increases from the bottom upwards. In a further modification a grounded electrode having an oil conductor is secured to the bottom of the burner cup and extends upwards so that its serrated edge forms a spark gap with circular teeth on a high tension electrode extending downwards into the burner cup. In the form shown in Fig. 3 the igniter may be removed from the burner, the film of oil on the wick material ignited and the igniter re-inserted to ignite the oil in the burner cup.

Patent GB-2004710-A (GB)
Title: Coaxial connectors
IPC: H01R24/38
Filed: 1978-09-21
Abstract: A coaxial connector having an improved arrangement for securely holding the cable and sealing the interior of the connector from the external environment comprises a rear clamp nut 45 threadingly engageable with a rear opening in the connector 10 and movable axially within the opening upon rotation to provide an axial force. A clamping ring 42 and a stationary ring 41 securely hold the outer conductor 14 therebetween upon application of the axial force. A cylindrical rigid member 43 which has compressive material 44 covering its inner surface, outer surface, and one end surface and which is coaxial with the cable 11 is disposed between the rear clamp nut 45 and the clamping ring 42. When the rear clamp nut 45 is rotated relative to the body, the cylindrical end surface 63 cuts through the compressible material 44 causing the compressible material to expand radially to provide a seal between the rear opening 40 and the cable 11. Thereafter, the cylindrical rigid member 43 applies the axial force to the clamping ring 42 thereby causing the coaxial cable outer conductor 14 to be securely held by the clamping ring 42 and the stationary ring 41. <IMAGE>

Title: Detection of tumors
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 1979-07-31
Abstract: Tumors in living tissue e.g. human breast, are detected by measuring variations in dielectric constant over a plurality of localised regions of tissue. A probe is scanned over the body or if the probe comprises a matrix of probe elements a signal is selectably applied e.g. by multiplexing to the probe elements. The impedance between the probe or probe element and a grounded plate with which the body is in contact may be measured by means of a half bridge 54 or balanced bridge (Fig. 3) to which a frequency modulated signal is applied from 50, 52. The capacitance and conductance of the tissue is determined from the bridge output in processor 80. Alternatively, the probe may be connected to a voltage controlled oscillator to lower the frequency thereof (Fig. 4). A computer controlled screening system is described. <IMAGE>
