Title: Articulated damping connector for train vehicles
Inventor: KUPIEK HEINRICH
IPC: B61G9/08
Filed: 1984-07-12
Abstract: An articulated damping connector for train vehicles comprises a hydraulic damper extending between a spherical hinge joint (21) and a coupling (23) attached to the opposing end faces of adjacent vehicles, the damper comprising a cylinder (1) in which a piston (4) is slidable to force hydraulic fluid from one chamber (5) to another (6) via an external duct (7) having a damping nozzle (8), and a two part piston rod (2, 3) which carries the piston (4). The two parts (2, 3) of the piston rod are normally coupled firmly together to move as one by means of a hydraulically operated friction coupling (14), but when the friction coupling (14) is released the two parts are able to telescope relative to each other. Also, the coupling (23) and the free end (24) of the piston rod part (3) are designed to couple automatically when the two vehicles are connected. In use, two transversely-spaced damping connectors are connected between adjacent vehicles. When the train of vehicles negotiates a sharp curve, a limit switch causes release of friction coupling (14).   <IMAGE>

Title: Procedure for arranging the signalling of a lift and call button station
Inventor: STEN URPO
IPC: B66B3/00
Filed: 1984-09-04
Abstract: A system whereby the lift's control system and the lift user are informed about the state of the lift. With a view to avoiding massive and complex wiring, and in order to increase the degree of standardisation in the designing of the lift's main control panel and of the call button stations, lift calls are received and transmitted onward and the state of the lift is stated by using microprocessors (2a,2b) implementing bidirectional series traffic, provided on each floor. The serial bus may be extended to the lift cars which also have individual microprocessors. <IMAGE>

Title: Shaped cementitious products
Inventor: ATKINSON ALAN WILLIAM
IPC: C04B28/06
Filed: 1984-12-15
Abstract: Shaped products (e.g. sheets) comprising a matrix of water-insolubilised organic polymeric material (e.g. hydrolysed vinyl acetate monomer) filled with a set hydraulic cement, as described for example in European Patent Publication 55 035 (ICI) have an unusually high flexural strength, which may be above 40 MPa, but this is accompanied by poor machinability. Machinability can be improved, without unacceptable reduction of flexural strength, by inclusion of fibrous woolastonite of aspect ratio not less than 4:1.

Patent GB-2162612-A (GB)
Title: A vibration isolator
Inventor: BRAUN DR DIETER
IPC: G01F25/00
Filed: 1985-07-30
Abstract: An arrangement for testing a flow meter which issues a first train of pulses in response to the rotation of a rotatable member thereof includes a measuring cylinder-and-piston unit that has a cylinder, a piston slidably received in the cylinder and displacing a known comparison volume of a fluid out of the cylinder for delivery to the flow meter, and a piston rod which extends to the exterior of the cylinder. A photoelectric sensing arrangement is mounted on the piston rod for joint movement therewith along a stationary volume scale to scan distancing markings of such scale and issue a second train of pulses in response to the detection thereof. A first of such distancing markings is so situated that the sensing arrangement encounters the same only after the piston rod has covered an initial distance corresponding to a running-in distance of the piston. A lug with countermarkings corresponding to the distancing markings is mounted on the piston rod and interposed in the light path of the photoelectric sensing arrangement to mask and unmask the distancing markings and thus to achieve a pronounced light-dark effect. The first pulse of the second pulse train triggers the counting of the pulses of the first pulse train which are correlated to the number of revolutions of the rotatable member of the flow meter, and a correction is made after the termination of a test run for pulse fractions occurring at the beginning and at the end of the testing run.

Title: Method and apparatus for joining materials
Inventor: HAMMOND JAMES A
IPC: C14B17/00
Filed: 1986-03-25
Abstract: A method for joining two flexible materials 22,23 along a seam. The flexible materials are placed against a substrate 10, overlapping where the seam is to be formed. A slot 11 is formed in the substrate at the location of the seam for accepting the flexible material.
