Title: Brake Disc
IPC: F16D65/12
Filed: 1980-04-28
Abstract: A brake disc has a friction ring divided into at least two ring portions (1 and 3) which are joined together along (radial) junction planes (5 and 7), and recesses e.g. in the form of axial, and/or radially extending slots 11 (and 13) are provided at the junction planes between the ring portions (1 and 3) in order to accommodate thermal peripheral expansion of the ring portions, thereby to minimise stresses set up in connecting flanges of the ring portions which otherwise would be liable to stress failure. The recesses may be formed by a spacer element (see Figure 6) or by milling. The junction planes may be formed by curved faces, in which case there are formed varying curvature radii slots of varying width. <IMAGE>

It is intended that the selenium should promote production of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase in the body thereby enabling the vitamin E to be utilised effectively.
Patent GB-2066145-A (GB)
Title: Microfibrillated cellulose
IPC: A23L29/00
Filed: 1980-12-16
Abstract: Microfibrillated cellulose is produced by passing a liquid suspension of cellulose through a small diameter orifice in which the suspension is subjected to a pressure drop of at least 3000 psig and a high velocity shearing action followed by a high velocity decelerating impact, and repeating the passage of said suspension through the orifice until the cellulose suspension becomes a substantially stable suspension.

Filed: 1981-02-20
Abstract: An intaglio print member has a print surface formed of a polymer composition containing 0 to 20% by weight of particulate filler. The print surface is preferably formed by powder coating, followed by polishing and laser engraving. The relatively low amounts of filler reduce wear on the polishing tools. Preferably, the polymer is an epoxy composition, and the filler carbon black which lowers the laser engraving threshold.
Patent GB-2075696-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for batch weighing
IPC: G01G13/08
Filed: 1981-04-21
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a conveyor (2) having transverse compartments (6) each of which accommodates several articles side-by- side, and a weighing pan (7) which is located below the discharge end of the conveyor and which is automatically emptied when it contains a desired batch quantity. When the weighing pan contains a predetermined fraction of the batch quantity a storage receptacle (10) is swung inwardly below a part of the conveyor width and, thus, intercepts those articles delivered in that region of the width. Thereafter the weighing pan receives articles only from the remaining part of the conveyor width. When the weighing pan has been emptied and is ready for the next metering operation, the storage receptacle delivers the articles temporarily collected in the receptacle to the weighing pan. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2078370-A (GB)
Title: Binding assays
IPC: G01N33/74
Filed: 1981-06-15
Abstract: A method of carrying out a binding assay (e.g. immunoassay) comprises treating the aqueous reaction mixture, subsequent to the binding interaction, with a reactant (e.g. an enzyme) which interacts preferentially with a labelled version of one or other of the binding reagents when said reagent is either bound in a complex or more usually in the free state, to give rise to a product having solubility properties which are substantially different from those of the original binding reagent or complex, thereafter partitioning hydrophobic substances from the treated reaction mixture into a hydrophobic solvent phase and detecting or determining labelled material present in the hydrophobic phase. The liquid-liquid separation step used replaces the solid phase separation step of previous assays. Also the liquid-liquid separation advantageously separates desired labelled material from luminescently or fluorescently-active contaminants contained in the aqueous sample. There is also described the preparation of LCG(5-H<3>)-tryptophan and RCG-(2,3-H<3>)-propionate.

Patent GB-2105954-A (GB)
Title: System for tele-locating regenerative repeaters
Inventor: JEANDOT JEAN-LOUIS
IPC: H04B17/40
Filed: 1981-09-15
Abstract: Regenerative repeaters R in a transmission path having forward 3 and return 4 lines each have a loop path P1 between the forward and return lines which is opened and closed from a terminal 1 at one end of the path by commands in a carrier frequency pulse code. The carrier frequency 45 may be a continuous sequence of HDB3 coded one-bits and is on-off modulated 46 to provide the commands. After start-up and validation pulses a loop command consisting of a long carrier frequency pulse followed by a long gap causes all the loop paths to close. A series of long unloop pulses with short gaps then cause successive repeaters along the path to unloop, a looped repeater transmitting the command in the form of a loop command. <IMAGE>

Title: Amusement game device
Inventor: REINERTSEN TORMOD K
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 1982-01-28
Abstract: The device (10) comprises body (14) having a head and maybe used in combination with a game board (12). When a pointer (28) is manually rotated at random a gap in a first circular stop is moved into alignment with a spring loaded plunger of the device, and a front cover (20) is then swung away exposing the body and head portions, including an opening (16) simulating a mouth. A player may then insert a finger into the mouth while another player manipulates a slide member (not shown). If a second circular stop member of the device is aligned with the slide member, the slide moves a pair of pen tips into engagement with the player's finger to produce a bite-like mark thereon. The two stop members are randomly relocated each time the cover opens so a player never knows when the cover will open or when the slide can be manipulated to effect engagement. <IMAGE>
