Title: Registered writing beam
IPC: H01J37/304
Filed: 1979-09-25
Abstract: Before the manufacture of a mask or microcircuit by writing on workpiece 28 on table 10 using electron or light beam 20, the writing beam is accurately positioned with respect to the workpiece with the aid of second beam 32 which reads registration marks on the underside of the table (on the table itself, on a second workpiece, or on the underside of a single workpiece).

Title: Vehicle internal combustion engine idle speed governor
IPC: F02M3/06
Filed: 1979-10-04
Abstract: A vehicle engine has a throttle stop positionable in response to an actuator command signal to determine engine idle speed. Apparatus 12,34,40,41,42 is provided to generate a speed error signal having both an absolute value and a further characteristic indicative whether the speed is high or low; and further apparatus is provided including a memory 44,45 effective to store actuator command signals corresponding to specific speed error signals and speed correction apparatus 34,46,47,48 effective to obtain an actuator command signal from the memory corresponding to each speed error signal and supply the actuator command signal to the throttle stop positioning apparatus to correct engine idle speed in the direction of a predetermined desired engine idle speed. The actuator command signals corresponding to at least the largest speed error signals below the desired speed have absolute values which produce a greater throttle stop movement than those corresponding to the speed error signals above the desired speed and having the same absolute value. Thus the control responds at a faster rate to large errors when the idle speed is too low than to equivalently large errors when it is too high. <IMAGE>

Title: Vehicle sliding roofs
IPC: B60J10/82
Filed: 1979-10-10
Abstract: A vehicle sliding roof is disclosed in which the periphery of an opening (13) in a roof part (12) carries a preformed strip member (17) that is of corrosion resistant material such as stainless steel, aluminium or hard synthetic plastics. The slidable member (21) of the roof carries a sealing member (22) that seals on the pre-formed strip member (17) in the closed position of the slidable member. As an alternative, the pre-formed strip member is carried by the slidable member and the sealing member is carried by the roof part. In each case either the pre-formed member or the sealing member acts as a trim for the periphery of the roof opening so that a wear resistant surface is presented to the slidable member. <IMAGE>

Title: A ship's embarkation device
IPC: B63B27/14
Filed: 1979-03-12
Abstract: A ship's embarkation device and comprises a projecting means, e.g. a ladder (3), which at one end is pivotally connected to a first platform (2), which is pivotally connected to the ship's deck, and at its other end is pivotally connected to a second platform (4). The first and second platforms are unrotatably connected to each other via a connecting bar (5), which is pivotally arranged at both platforms. The connecting bar always keeps the second platform in a horizontal position as well as strengthens the torsional resistance of the device. Moreover the ladder is kept tighter to the ship's deck, which prevents the ladder from swinging as the ship is rolling.   <IMAGE>

Title: Multiplication Board Game
IPC: A63F3/04
Filed: 1979-12-28
Abstract: A board A is of generally triangular shape with a playing area of forty five squares in an orthogonal array of nine columns B to J and nine intersecting rows K to S. The columns are identified at the top by numbers 2 to 10, and the rows are similarly identified at the righthand end. Forty five playing pieces, each in the form of a rectangular tile, are identified on their front faces with numerals in the range 4 to 100, so that when correctly placed on the board A they form a matrix comprising a compound multiplication table covering the factors 2x to 10x. A predetermined number of pieces are dealt to each player, and the players take turns to place up to a given number of pieces on the correct squares although, unless it represents a "perfect square", a piece can only be placed on a square next to one already occupied. After placing the pieces the players pick up replacements until the pool of undealt pieces is exhausted, and the players score according to the face value of the pieces played. <IMAGE>

Title: Monitoring apparatus
IPC: G08B29/04
Filed: 1980-01-08
Abstract: A problem which arises with monitoring apparatus intended to maintain surveillance of an area for an event such as unauthorised entry into the area is that of failure of a remote unit in the area to convey to a master unit any information if the remote unit transmits, over mains electricity supply lines, frequency-modulated bursts which stimulate the or each remote unit to reply with a characteristic frequency modulated burst for each one from the master unit, by using the master frequency-modulated burst to reset a counter 38 in the remote unit (Figure 2). If there is failure of the remote unit, or detection of an alarm situation 82, the remote unit does not reply, the counter 38 being frozen. At the master unit, failure of a reply burst to arrive within a predetermined time of the last from the same remote unit lights an LED respective to the remote unit and sounds a to common alarm. <IMAGE>

Title: A method of checking a fire- extinguisher incorporating a pressure gauge
IPC: G01L27/00
Filed: 1980-03-04
Abstract: The pressure in a fire- extinguisher 50 and the functioning of its pressure gauge 10 are checked by locking an adapter housing 51 in the gauge in sealed manner using a locking fork 57, connecting a test gas source 70 through an inlet valve 66 to a passage 64 in the housing 51, which has a passage leading to an outlet valve 67, and also a passage to a test gas pressure gauge 63, and opening the inlet valve 66 to gradually increase pressure on the portion of the gauge normally exposed to ambient pressure. If the gauge is functioning correctly the indicator will return to zero. If the extinguisher has lost pressure, this is indicated by the gauge 63 shortly before the inlet valve 66 is completely open or before the test pressure set on a pressure- reduction valve 71 has built up in the said chamber in the manometer 10. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2069252-A (GB)
Title: Electrical sockets for electrical devices
IPC: H01R33/96
Filed: 1981-02-02
Abstract: An electrical socket for an electrical device such as a bayonet-type light bulb, comprises a housing having an open end for receipt of that portion of the device which in use is inserted into the socket and a casing (22) mounted in the housing for rotation about an axis extending substantially centrally through the open end of the housing. At least one electrically conductive current supply pin (18 or 19) for the device is mounted in the casing and extends in the axial direction of the housing. The pin is displaceable relative to the housing in the axial direction, and a spring (21) resiliently biasses the pin towards the open end thereof. The arrangement is such that in use when the device is pushed into the socket against the bias on the pin and rotated the pin is depressed axially of the housing out of a current-free position and rotated together with the casing through a predetermined angle towards a current- supply position, release of the device thereafter causing the pin to engage the current-supply position by a return axial movement of the pin. The reverse movements of the device are effective to return the pin to the current-free position. The socket may receive a bayonet type light bulb,ascrew in light bulb, a three pin plug, a two pin plug, a fuse holder, a fluorescent light bulb or a bar fire heater element. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of transmitting electrical sound signals from an air-supplying helmet
Inventor: LANSDOWNE KENNETH FRANCIS LEWI
IPC: H04B15/00
Filed: 1981-06-01
Abstract: To process a signal from a microphone in a diver's helmet of the type having an air-demand valve, the signal is subjected to selective attenuation in a variable attenuator (14). To control the attenuator the in put signal is applied to a tuned filter (34) which preferentially selects the demand valve noise, and through a rectifier (38) to the gate of a transistor (22) in the attenuator, which provides a threshold. As demand valve noise occurs on inhalation it is time-separated from speech. The attenuator (14) thus removes the noise without affecting the speech component of the signal. The filter is adjustable, and is duplicated to allow searching for a better frequency while the processor is in use. <IMAGE>
