Patent GB-2207146-A (GB)
Title: Solid lubricant composition
Inventor: JAMISON WARREN E
IPC: C10M169/04
Filed: 1987-08-11
Abstract: A solid lubricating composition useful for lubricating the flanges of railcar wheels and rails and for other similar applications. The lubricant composition comprises from about 16% to about 25% by weight of a polymeric carrier, from about 49% to about 63% of a lubricating oil, from about 10% to about 16% of a solid lubricating powder, and from about 6% to about 16% of a surface active agent comprising a metallic dithiophosphate and an organic molybdenum compound, all percentages by weight of the total composition. The solid lubricant composition is mixed and introduced into a screw type extruder wherein it is heated and extruded through a die into a waterbath, forming an elastic rod or strand. The lubricant composition is applied to a surface to be lubricated by rubbing it onto the surface in a thin film. The surface active agent enhances the attachment and embedment of the dry lubricating powder into the surface being lubricated, the lubricant composition serving to reduce both wear and friction between contacting surfaces lubricated thereby.

Title: Microwave oscillator devices
Inventor: JONES STEWART BARRY
IPC: H03B5/18
Filed: 1988-06-22
Abstract: In a microwave oscillator device, wires (1,2,3 etc) form inductors in a feedback path between a control electrode (e.g. gate) and a second main electrode (e.g. source) of a transistor (e.g. a GaAs MESFET). The transistor body (10) is mounted within an insulating surround 25, on a base 21 providing a first device terminal. The connection to the second main electrode comprises in series at least first and second lengths (1,2) of wire, whereas the connection to the control electrode comprises a third length (3) of wire. The invention permits the construction of a mechanical and electrical replacement for a Gunn diode by compressing the wire lengths (1,2,3 etc) in a particular arrangement into the small space inside a conventional Gunn diode envelope (20). The first wire length (1) and possibly more lengths are arched onto a low bonding area (15,16,17) adjacent the base (21), where the second and third wire lengths extend upto an upper bonding area (23) adjacent the top of the surround (25) and connected to the second terminal (22). The resulting inductance of the connection (1,2, and possibly 4) between the second main electrode and the second terminal (22) is higher than the inductance of the connection (3) between the control electrode and the second terminal (22), whcih provides an impedance level equivalent to that of the Gunn diode which the device replaces.

Title: Multichannel radiotelephony system using bidirectional cable T.V. network
Inventor: HAMILTON-PIERCY NICHOLAS FRANC
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1991-01-15
Abstract: Two way cordless communications uses multichannel transceivers portable within a coverage area comprising cells, each associated with a base station and antennas, such as to permit channel frequency reuse in cells within the coverage area. For at least part of the coverage area, the locations of the antennas within the cells and the locations of the base stations are independently mapped, the antennas being associated with active antenna systems and the active antenna systems being connected to the base stations utilizing broadband transmission by means of a fixed bidirectional cable television network. The network is connected to the base stations and the antenna systems through interfaces incorporating frequency translation so that available frequency bands in the cable television network, which will normally be shared with other services, may be utilised. Plural base stations may be co-located. The radio link to the transceivers may be FDM or TDM, but communication over the network will normally be frequency multiplexed, using separate bands for transmission and reception. <IMAGE>
