Title: A clutch mechanism
Inventor: BURLINGTON GEOFFREY MICHAEL
IPC: F16D43/20
Filed: 1998-12-08
Abstract: The invention provides a clutch mechanism having a driven pulley and a drive pulley, the clutch mechanism having an engaged position in which torque applied in use to the driven pulley is transmitted to the drive pulley, and a disengaged position in which torque applied in use to the driven pulley is not transmitted to the drive pulley, wherein the clutch mechanism also has override means by which at least a proportion of the torque applied to the driven pulley is absorbed when the load applied to the drive pulley exceeds a predetermined value. The override means comprises a pair of detent plates pressed together so as to transmit torque therebetween in the engaged position. At least one ball-bearing is held captive between the detent plates, the detent plates being adapted so as to retain the at least one ball-bearing within a groove in each detent plate.

Abstract: An electrically operated paintball gun operable to shoot paintballs includes a barrel, a trigger, and a breech connected to a rear end of the barrel, as well as a bolt movable in the breech between a rearward position and a forward shooting position. A spring biases the bolt towards the rearward position. A pneumatic circuit is provided to drive the bolt towards the forward position and includes a control valve in the form of a solenoid valve to receive gas under pressure and direct it into a chamber at the rear of the bolt when the gun is shot.     An electronic circuit controls the pneumatic circuit and is operated by an electrical switch operated by the trigger. A gas valve mechanism is opened by engagement by the bolt, when the latter is driven forwardly to the shooting position, to permit the passage of relatively high pressure propellant gas into the barrel to propel a paintball. This valve mechanism preferably includes a metal ball that normally projects into the bolt chamber and that is engaged and moved by the bolt when the bolt is driven to its forward position.

Title: Protocol for detecting the presence of individuals or objects in a defined space and detection system intended to implement such a protocol
Inventor: DEGRAUWE MARC
IPC: G07B15/02
Filed: 2000-11-28
Abstract: The invention concerns a protocol for detecting the presence of individuals or objects, provided with electronic tickets (14) in a defined space, in particular a carriage (10) of a means of transport. This protocol provides that the tickets are awakened upon approaching or passing through entries to said space and the tickets are localised by at least one distance measurement. Given that the error over such a measurement does not allow it to be determined with precision whether a ticket is inside or outside the entry zone (20) when the entries are open, this entry zone is excluded from the measurement or such a measurement is not validated for a ticket in this zone when the entries are open. Preferably, the entry zone is defined by a field transmitted by a transmitter (22) and received by the awakened tickets.

Abstract: A coil car has a pair of deep side sills and a trough structure mounted to, and suspended between, the deep side sills for carrying coils. The side sills extend between the rail car trucks and act as a pair of deep side beams for carryin g vertical loads. The deep side sills are arranged to extend above and below the center  sill of the coil car to give vertical stiffness to the coil car. The top chord membe rs of the side sills are outwardly splayed relative to the bottom chord members of the  side sills. Cross-bearers extend outwardly and away from the center sill to attach to th e side sills. The trough structure has three parallel, longitudinally extending troughs - a central trough lying between two laterally outboard outer troughs. Each trou gh is shaped to cradle steel coils, or other similar loads, between its inwardly a nd downwardly sloping shoulder plates. The shoulder plates are lined with cushioning to buffer coils during loading or travel. The outboard troughs are mounted abov e longitudinally extending stringers and are carried at a greater height relative to top of rail than the central trough. The car has coil stops to discourage longitudinal shifting of loaded coils. The coil stops have rollers to facilitate repositioning during loading, and a mid-span step and hand grabs to facilitate climbing over the coil stop  by personnel walking along the trough structure.

Abstract: The data processor 1 converts the serial data in the STM-16 to parallel data that is based on four bytes (32 bits). The transparence data detector 20 detects the position of the data (transparence data) as a candidate for transparence processing in the parallel data and the transparence data sampling section 30 converts the transparence data based on the detected position and rearranges the processed data in each parallel data block (hereinafter referred to as a block). then, the data arrangement section 40 sequentially inserts empty byte data in each block to the preceding block to rearrange parallel data.      Thus, the data processor 1 can perform transparence processing easily via a relatively low-speed general-purpose device.

Abstract: A method for enhancing the dielectric properties of an electrical cable having a central stranded conductor encased in a polymeric insulation. The cable defines an interstitial void space (v1) between the strands of the conductor. The volume (v2) of a dielectric enhancement fluid required to be absorbed by the cable to reach a predetermined level of dielectric enhancement is determined. The ratio of (v1/v2) is computed. If the ratio of (v1/v2) is greater than a maximum ratio of 1.4, then a quantity of the dielectric enhancement fluid is diluted with a sufficient quantity of a diluent to produce a mixture of diluent and dielectric enhancement fluid, such that when the volume (v1) of the mixture is supplied to the cable interior, the cable will have been supplied with a volume (v3) of the dielectric enhancement fluid within the mixture such that (v3/v2) is less than 1.4. The diluent is substantially insoluble in the polymeric insulation, has a sufficiently low initial viscosity to enable introduction into the cable interior, and is miscible with the dielectric enhancement fluid.

Title: Method for remediating sites contaminated with toxic waste
Inventor: ROGERS JON E
IPC: A62D101/20
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: Methods for decontaminating toxic waste, particularly solid carrier materials, such as soil contaminated with a toxin, or sol id mixed wastes are more efficiently decontaminated with solvated electrons by first extracting the toxin from the carrier with a nitrogenous base at elevated temperatures, followed by a temperature reduction before initiating chemical reduction of the toxin with solvated electrons. Pre-extraction of the toxin at elevated temperatures followed by temperature reduction minimizes competing side reactions, improves selectivity of solvated electrons for the toxin and improves the economics of the process with more efficient metal utilization. The process can be performed without separation of the toxin from the extraction vessel holding the solid carrier material. Alternatively, elevated temperatures can bas used to perform one or more extractions of toxin with nitrogenous base: followed by reduction with solvated electrons by performing the reaction in a separate reactor. The processes of the invention are useful in the destruction of virtually any chemically reducible hazardous substance.
