Title: Method of constructing fully dense metal molds and parts
Inventor: TOBIN JAMES ROBERT
IPC: B22F3/26
Filed: 1996-01-05
Abstract: A method of constructing a fully dense metal part or a metal mold half for mating with another mold half to form a mold for casting multiple parts. Steps include placing a pattern in a tubular mold base, casting a ceramic member onto critical surfaces of the pattern, removing the pattern from the mold base, covering the critical surfaces transferred to the ceramic member with a powdered metal having a melting temperature greater than that of an infiltration metal, placing a quantity of an infiltration metal over the powdered metal, placing the tubular mold base in a furnace at a temperature sufficient to melt the infiltration metal without melting the powdered metal, and removing the ceramic member from the first open end of the tubular mold base to expose the critical surfaces. The quantity of the infiltration metal is sufficient to fill voids between the particles of the powdered metal when the infiltration metal is melted, thereby generating a fully dense metal part. The metal part has the critical surfaces transferred from the ceramic member when the infiltration metal solidifies. The metal powder also acts as a filter to filter out any contamination or oxidized metal within the infiltration metal so that such contamination does not blemish the finished surface of the fully dense metal part.

Title: Security batteries for automotive vehicles
Inventor: GATEHOUSE PETER PHILIP
IPC: H01M10/42

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB93/01345 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 1, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 1, 1995 PCT Filed Jun. 25, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/01894 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 20, 1994.A battery has an exposed negative terminal (2), but the positive terminal (10) is hidden within the casing of the battery and instead only a dummy terminal (3) is visible. When the vehicle is parked, power is fed from the positive terminal (10) through an isolator relay (12) to an INHIBIT circuit (C). When power is made available through the ignition switch to a terminal (6), power is fed via a socket (4) to a keypad. A predetermined code has to be set into the keypad in order to pass an operating signal to an electronic lock (13), which is effective to switch the relay (12) to connect power to an ENABLE circuit (B) and to disconnect the supply from the INHIBIT circuit (C). This causes a solenoid (9) to operate for a time determined by a timer (14) so that the positive terminal (10) is connected to the dummy terminal (3) through a plunger (9A). When the ignition key is moved to the start position power is supplied through the starter lead connected from the terminal (3) to a starter motor. Consequently, the motor cannot normally be started unless the ignition sequence includes the keying in of the code into the keypad. Any attempt to bypass the ignition system or bump-start the car will result in sensing devices (15 or 19) opening switch contacts (18A) supplying power to the alternator via the terminal (5).

Title: Electrical surge arrester/diverter
Inventor: DOONE RODNEY MEREDITH
IPC: H01C7/12
Filed: 1987-01-29
Abstract: A distribution class surge arrester comprises a core formed of distributed zinc oxide varistor blocks, aluminium blocks acting as heat sinks and as spacers providing voltage grading and required arcing distances, and terminal blocks held in face to face contact by means of a glass reinforced epoxy shell which is formed by winding a pre-preg onto the assembled blocks and thermally curing under mould pressure within an evacuated mould. The core is housed within a polymeric shedded housing which is formed by shrinking a heat-shrink shedded sleeve onto the core with a sealant provided in the interface of the core and the sleeve, and end caps are sealed to the ends of the structure thus formed. The all solid-state arrester thus formed has performance and cost advantages over conventional porcelain housed arresters and furthermore has very considerable physical strength enabling it to serve additionally as a stand-off support insulator in situations where con­ventionally separate arrester and support insulators were required.

The cooling air is admitted tangentially into an eddy tube provided with a closure and with a throttle in the region of the latter. The cooling air flow, which is cooled after flowing through the closure is fed into the blades and, after passing over the inner wall of the blade jacket, escapes from each blade in the region of the boundary layer. The heated air flow which escapes from the throttle is evacuated from the blade region. This airflow can be mixed with the cooling air or be introduced into the main gas flow.

Title: Apparatus and method for cleaning and finishing
Inventor: SEVIGNY CLAUDE
IPC: B24D7/04
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: Apparatus and method for both cleaning and polishing work surfaces such as automotive panels using a single combination pad. In one embodiment, a support holds a circular replaceable, disposable cleaning/polishing pad on a powered polishing tool for rotation about the pad's central axis. The illustrated pad is made of compressible/expandable material such as foam. The pad has front and rear recesses that define concentric radially outer and inner sections. The inner section is thinner and has a forward cleaning surface. The outer section normally protrudes forwardly of the cleaning surface so that when it is first brought into engagement with a work surface, the cleaning surface does not engage the work surface. A pressure-applying backup plate of a firm material such as neoprene has a forwardly displaced inner portion that is received in the pad rear recess for applying firm pressure to the pad cleaning surface. The plate has an outer portion for applying pressure to the outer pad section. In operation, the pad is positioned at the work surface and then rotated. The backup plate applies sufficient force to initially axially compress the outer pad section and position the cleaning surface at the work surface. Further force acts through the backup plate inner portion to apply firm distributed cleaning action by the cleaning surface against the work surface to remove the amount of material desired. Then the axial force is reduced to allow the pad outer section to expand and move the cleaning element out of engagement with the work surface. This allows the rotating foam outer section to be used to engage and polish the cleaned area of the work surface.
