Title: Testing cathode ray tubes
Inventor: PARK MU-BU
IPC: G01R31/25
Filed: 1990-01-19
Abstract: Cathode ray tube test apparatus comprises first means (60) for supplying a voltage to a first grid (2); means (SWb) for automatically connecting said first grid (2) and a cathode (1); second means (70) for supplying voltage to second and third grids (3, 4); means (R1) for detecting the current flowing through said cathode; an analogue/digital converter (20); and a processing unit (40) for comparing digital signals from the converter (20) reference data, and for transmitting the result (50). In use, and with first means (60) connected (a), the second means (70) is adjusted to bring the cathode current to a predetermined value.

Title: Apparatus for making drill holes under spatially restricted conditions
Inventor: DAHLE OLOF
IPC: E21B17/20
Filed: 1990-02-01
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a drill rod consisting of individual segments 16, 19 and guided in a cradle 5. The individual segments 16, 19 comprise end pieces which are constructed as centering bushes and guide bushes and are to be pushed into each other with interlocking formations such that the necessary torques and pressure forces can be effectively transmitted from the drilling motor 7. The motor 7 is displaceable between two clamping tongs 10, 13 which fix the segments 16, 19 and ensure that they form in each case a rigid unit to which the pressure and rotary forces can thus be effectively transmitted. A flushing hose extending through the segments is connected via a rotary duct to the initial guide segment 16 of the drill rod so that said hose itself does not participate in the rotation and can therefore be led with the loosely engaging segments round a curve. Thus, even in for example low seams rock bolt drill holes of practically any desired length can be introduced.

Title: Wiring access to junction box
Inventor: YANG CHIN-HUI
IPC: H02G3/18
Filed: 1990-03-07
Abstract: A junction box (1, 2, 3 Fig 1) for laying beneath concrete floors or walls has a plug 95 (Figs 5 & 6) which can be removed to allow wires to be fed into the box. The plug is mounted on a bracket 92 which is secured to an opening (12) in the box. Unused openings are blanked off with an insert 6. Before the concrete is laid, only the base 7 of the plug is attached to the bracket 92 together with a rod (96 Figs 9 & 10) to indicate the position of the plug after the concrete has been cast. After casting, the concrete is drilled to expose the base 7 and the other parts of the plug 8, 9 (Figs 5 & 6) joined to the base. The joint allows the plug to be adjusted to the vertical (Figs 11 & 12). <IMAGE>

Title: Gain control of a propeller phase control system
Inventor: TURNER GILBERT ANDREW
IPC: B64C11/50
Filed: 1991-08-09
Abstract: A propeller control system comprises a phase controller (11) having a phase control gain to control a propeller phase relationship, free air turbulence detection means (7, 9) and a gain controller (8) for varying the phase control gain in response to detected free air turbulence such that in the presence of turbulence a low gain is selected and in the absence of turbulence a high gain is selected. By varying the gain in this way the sensitivity of the phase controller (11) is reduced during turbulent conditions preventing excessive phase changes by the controller (11) striving to follow a turbulent master propeller. Similarly a speed controller (14) has its gain set by a gain controller (17) according to the degree of turbulence detected.

Title: Packet switching networks
Inventor: BRENT JASON BARRY
IPC: H04L49/111
Filed: 1991-11-23
Abstract: Core information, in the form of a core block or blocks (C), is transmitted in a core packet (PC), and at least some enhancement information, in the form of enhancement blocks (E), is transmitted in a separate enhancement packet (PE) which is discardable to relieve congestion. Preferably, the core and enhancement packets have headers (H) which include a discard eligible marker (DE). The enhancement blocks (E) may be distributed between the core packet and enhancement packet in accordance with congestion conditions, or the enhancement blocks may be incorporated only in the enhancement packet, and the actual number of enhancement blocks included are varied depending on congestion conditions. Preferably, the packets are transmitted in frame relay format and congestion forward (CF) and congestion backwards (CB) markers are used to feed back information of congestion conditions within a network to the packet assembler (7) Fig. 2, (not shown), forming the core and enhancement packets. <IMAGE>

Title: Mobile lifting apparatus.
Inventor: LEVINSON VALERY
IPC: B66F9/04
Filed: 1992-07-15
Abstract: A mobile pneumatic apparatus for combined pneumatic and manual lifting and lowering of heavy objects. A vertically reciprocable carriage (5) is mounted on a trolley (1) and is linked by a hauling device (13, 19) to a vertically reciprocable pneumatic piston (10) associated with gas flow controls and a weight sensor. The piston may optionally be coupled with hydraulic braking means. The sensor ensures that the lift force is just less than the total weight of the carriage plus load (20) allowing manual positioning without undue force. The apparatus is used especially for loading airborne missiles onto aircraft. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2258572-A (GB)
Title: Battery power supply with voltage step-up circuit
Inventor: IMAGAWA YASUMI
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1992-07-20
Abstract: A first load 6 is connected directly to a battery 5 which also supplies a second load 8 directly until the battery voltage falls below a first reference level (e.g. 1.3 volts), whereupon a comparator 10 operates a changeover switch 7 to connect load 8 to a DC/DC voltage step-up converter 9. This results in reduced battery power consumption compared to an arrangement in which load 8 is always supplied via the converter (Fig 1). A third load may, however, always be supplied via the converter (Fig 4). The first load 6 may also be connected to the output of the step-up converter if the battery voltage falls below a second reference level (eg. 1.0 volts) lower than the first reference, (Fig 3). The loads, comparator, switch, and a hold circuit between the comparator and switch may be controlled by a timing signal generator (Figs 4, 5, 6) in an arrangement which prevents noise signals from causing the comparator to switch a load back to direct connection to the battery once it has been powered via the converter. <IMAGE>

Title: Angled vehicle axle assembly.
Inventor: OSTER TERRY L
IPC: B60K17/04
Filed: 1992-10-14
Abstract: A vehicle axle assembly includes a pair of output shafts having a first rotational axis, an input shaft having a second rotational axis oriented at an angle which is not perpendicular to the first rotational axis of the pair of output shafts, and an intermediate shaft having a third rotational axis oriented at an angle which is perpendicular to the first rotational axis of the pair of output shafts. The input shaft includes a first gear of a first gear set disposed between a pair of tapered roller bearings. A pinion nut attached thereto exerts a clamp force, which is prevented from affecting a preloading force on the tapered roller bearings by a shoulder formed on the input shaft. The intermediate shaft includes a second gear of the first gear set, wherein the first gear set forms an angled connection between the input shaft and the intermediate shaft for achieving a first reduction. The intermediate shaft further includes a first gear of a second gear set which interacts with a second gear of the second gear set to achieve a second reduction.
