Title: Depositing coatings of materials on a moving substrate having a fixed orientation
Inventor: HILL ROGER
IPC: C23C14/50
Filed: 1994-07-27
Abstract: A method of depositing material on a substrate 1 comprising moving the substrate 1 during deposition such that its orientation with respect to a beam 7 suitably derived from an ion beam source of material to be deposited remains fixed and the average angle at which material strikes the substrate is approximately normal. A plurality of substrates are mounted over the surface of a carrier plate which is supported by three carrier support arms 32, 33 and 34. One end of each arm is pivotally attached to the carrier plate by means of a pivot 35 and the other end is rigidly attached to an associated sprocket 36, 37 and 38 respectively. The axes of the sprockets 36, 37 and 38 are equidistant from one another so that they lie on the apexes of an equilateral triangle, and each sprocket is mounted on an axle 39 which is free to rotate in a bearing 40 mounted in a recess. The sprockets are driven by means of a drive sprocket 41, the teeth of which engage corresponding teeth of sprockets 36, 37 and 38. Rotation of the drive sprocket 41 causes the carrier plate to move along a circular path 21 with the substrate having a fixed orientation with respect to the beam. Other arrangements are disclosed in which:- the substate is translated with a reciprocating motion along a linear path (Fig 6); and the substrate is translated along a circular path (Fig 7). <IMAGE>

Title: Cable slack preventing in lifting apparatus
Inventor: MASLO KARL
IPC: B66F3/22
Filed: 1995-03-03
Abstract: A lifting apparatus with a carrying part 16, including a hook 18 which is connected via a cable 22 or the like with a drive for adjustment of the vertical position of the hook and comprising a worm gear transmission of which the worm wheel 40 coupled to a hoist drum 20, under the influence of the load dependent load, exerts an axially downward force on a worm gear 38 to engage coupling 42/44, to rotate the hoist. Should the cable slacken as when a load contacts an obstruction a spring (46) (Fig 4 not shown) displaces the worm upwards to disengage the coupling 42, 44. The slack prevention is particularly desirable when the apparatus includes a pantograph linkage 10. <IMAGE>

Title: Device for attaching a strap and microphone or pick-up lead to a musical instrument
Inventor: PARSON ROBERT
IPC: G10G5/00
Filed: 1995-03-18
Abstract: A hook shaped attachment for an electric guitar or another similar musical instrument retains a supporting strap on a neck portion 40 of a head portion 10 and an electrical lead in a slot portion 20. The lead acts as a locking pin to inhibit the removal of the strap from the head portion 10. The cross section of the slot portion 20 may either increase as it deepens, to allow the lead to move freely through the attachment at its deepest point, or decrease to wedge the lead in the slot. The attachment may be connected to the guitar body by a screw receiving plate member 30. In a further embodiment an aperture (50, figure 3) passes through the attachment to allow a screw (60, figure 3) to be passed through to connect the attachment to the guitar body.

Patent GB-2293884-A (GB)
Title: Housing structure for a mass air flow sensor
Inventor: ZUREK LAWRENCE ANTHONY
IPC: F02D35/00
Filed: 1995-09-28
Abstract: A housing structure 1 for mounting in a main air flow passage 4, e.g. of an i.c. engine, and containing mass air flow sensing element(s) 9, includes an auxiliary passage way 7 which diverts a portion of the main forward air flow towards the sensing element(s). The latter are shielded from the main flow by a cross wall, and the passage way 7 has its inlet 6 in the inclined bottom wall 15 of the structure so the any contaminants in the air separate from the diverted air at the point of diversion and continue downstream in the main flow. The decontaminated, diverted air passes over the sensing element(s) and out of the housing structure through two exit openings 12, 14 located in its rear. In the event of an air backflow, air entering via opening 12 strikes a blocking wall and passes out through opening 14 and has no effect on the sensing element(s) 9. The structure thus keeps contaminant particles away from the sensing element(s) and is also able to eliminate the effect of backflow air. <IMAGE>

Title: Composite optical coupler device
Inventor: YANAGAWA HISAHARU
IPC: H04B10/272
Filed: 1995-09-28
Abstract: The device comprises first and second removably connected integrated chips 1 and 2. Connectors 3 and 4 allow communication light to enter/leave along optical fibres Le1, Le2 and L1 to L4. The communication light passes through the first chip via optical waveguides le1, le2, 2x4 coupler e and waveguides I1 to I4, and through the second chip via corresponding further waveguides, couplers C1 to C4 and waveguides II1 to II4. Monitoring light to/from OTDR D is introduced into the communications waveguides by the couplers C1 to C4 via optical fibres S1 to S4 and SS1 to SS4 and waveguides s1 to s4 and ss1 to ss4. All the waveguides are terminated flush with the appropriate face of a chip 1 or 2. The device then constitutes a "double star system". The block 3 and first chip can be replaced by a MT connector to rapidly form a "single star system". <IMAGE>

Title: Protection circuit for a switch mode power supply
Inventor: WU CHUN HSING
IPC: H03K17/0812
Filed: 1995-10-04
Abstract: A protection circuit for a switch mode power supply (SMPS) has a current means 24 to charge a capacitor 16 during a time before normal operation of the SMPS and means, such as a resistor 19 and a Schottky diode 18, connected between the base and emitter of an output transistor 17 of the SMPS so that discharge of the capacitor is reduced. Due to low output voltage during flyback mode of the start phase the secondary current cannot be fully discharged in time. The current build up will eventually damage the output transistor if the current is not limited. In order to prevent the current build up during the start phase the storage time of the output transistor of the SMPS is reduced by the protection circuit.
