Title: Removing liquid particles from gases
IPC: B01D46/00
Filed: 1979-11-15
Abstract: Apparatus for separating liquids and liquid aerosols from gases, e.g. deoiling pressurized air intended for inhalation and for turbine-type drilling in dentistry, comprises a vessel 1 and a tube 8 ending into the vessel to provide an annular passage for inflow and a central passage for clean gas outflow, baffle plates in the vessel providing for sinuous inflow through the annular passage to the inner end of the central passage, and a plurality of annular separation layers 4, 5, 6 associated with the baffle plates so that the sinuous inflow passes radially through successive separation layers. Preferably the vessel is of inverted-U cross sectional shape and there are three annular separation layers to separate successively by agglomeration, filtration and adsorption, only precleaned gas reaching the filter e.g. glass fibers and the adsorver e.g. silicagel or activated carbon so that their surfaces do not become polluted. Sealing of the separation layers can be obtained by embedding their upper and lower ends in the radially extending baffle plates. Liquid is discharged through outlet 12. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2045372-A (GB)
Title: Anti-skid brake control systems
IPC: B60T13/14
Filed: 1980-02-21
Abstract: Anti-skid brake control systems which sense the presence of skid conditions at a hydraulically braked wheel and then relieve the break pressure at that wheel by displacing from the brake. A regulator (80) is connected in a high pressure fluid supply line so as to control the rate at which the brakes are re-applied on cessation of the skid conditions. The regulator preferably comprises a cup-shaped piston (83) reciprocable within a cylinder bore (82). A first restriction (90) of predetermined size is defined by the end wall of the piston and a second restriction of variable size is formed between a number of radial ports (98) in the bore wall and an annular recess (95) in the outside of the piston, this recess being permanently connected to the inner space (88) of the piston. Fluid flows from the variable restriction to the predetermined restriction and a pressure difference is produced across the predetermined restriction. Any increase in this pressure difference causes the piston to move against the action of a compression spring (92) to restrict the size of the variable restriction, thereby regulating the flow of fluid to a predetermined value. The regulator is suitable for use with systems of the kind which include a brake pressure modulator and with those which include a control valve to dump fluid from the brakes on occurrence of skid conditions.

Patent GB-2052160-A (GB)
Title: Electrical switchgear
IPC: H01H33/18
Filed: 1980-05-12
Abstract: In a contacts closed position of a circuit breaker, a main body portion 224 of a contact arm 208 engages a main contact 218. Upon movement of the contacts towards an open position, an end portion 225 of the contact arm 208 moves into engagement with a tubular arcing electrode 221 before the main body portion 224 disengages from the main contact 218. Subsequently, the end portion 225 disengages from the arcing electrode 221 so that an arc is drawn therebetween, and the arcing current flows through a field coil 223 creating a magnetic field which causes the arc to rotate and become extinguished. In the contacts open position of the circuit breaker, the end portion 225 lies along the axis of the field coil 223. In an alternative construction (Figure 8), the end portion of the contact arm engages the arcing electrode when the contacts are in their closed position, and remains in such engagement for some time after the main body portion has disengaged from the main contacts. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2058244-A (GB)
Title: A bearing assembly
IPC: F16J15/48
Filed: 1980-07-18
Abstract: A sealed bearing for underwater use has a grease-filled chamber 8 separated from the water in use by external seals 10. Increased water pressure tends to cause the seals to seal more tightly. Pressure compensating means e.g. piston 2 and chamber 7 are provided to counteract this tendency by supplying the external pressure to the internal chamber. A flexible diaphragm may be used instead of piston 2. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2059851-A (GB)
Title: Chain-type tube cutter
IPC: B23D21/06
Filed: 1980-09-15
Abstract: A chain-type tube cutter comprising a plier arrangement having a linked chain with cutting rollers carried on the link pins has an adjustable pivot. Because of the cutting rollers 12 pivoted on the link pins 11 of the chain, the chain has a relatively coarse pitch and therefore a relatively coarse adjustment to accommodate different sizes of tube 13. The adjustable pivot gives an adjustment intermediate that provided by notching different links of the chain in one of the jaws of the plier arrangement. <IMAGE>

Title: Hall effect switch
Inventor: REVELL DENNIS WILLIAM
IPC: G01R19/165
Filed: 1981-08-20
Abstract: In a Hall effect switching circuit, the Hall element (HS) is connected across the DC supply in series with a resistor (R1) the value of which is and small compared with the resistance of the Hall element. This resistor sets the threshold of the Hall element independently of its current and enables a fixed voltage drive to be used to balance offset variations more effectively. The Hall voltage is amplified by an operational amplifier (A1) the output of which is applied to the + input of an operational amplifier (A3) acting as a comparator to determine the overall threshold of the circuit. The voltage for the - input of the comparator (A3) comes from operational amplifier (A2) whose output is adjustable by a variable resistor (R7) in a resistive bridge (R4-R5-R6-R7). <IMAGE>
