Title: Vapor permeation curable coatings comprising polymercaptan resins and multi-isocyanate curing agents
Inventor: LINDEN GARY LEE
IPC: C08G18/50
Filed: 1986-05-14
Abstract: A method for curing a film of a coating composition under vapor permeation curable conditions comprises exposing a coating composition to a vaporous tertiary amine catalyst. The coating composition can be in the form of an atomizate which is concurrently generated and mixed with a vaporous tertiary amine catalyst followed by application to a substrate, or can be an applied film of the coating composition which is exposed to the vaporous tertiary amine catalyst. The coating composition comprises a polymercapto-compound and a multi-isocyanate curing agent. The coating composition can be formulated to contain very high solids content (e.g. in excess of 70% and on up to 100% non-volatile solids). Alternatively, the coating composition comprises a polyol and a multi-isocyanate curing agent and the curing is effected in the presence of a thio-urethane compound formed by the reaction of a mercaptan compound and an isocyanate compound.

Patent GB-2214431-A (GB)
Title: Respiratory protective apparatus
Inventor: GLYNN MICHAEL HARVEY
IPC: A62B7/02
Filed: 1988-01-26
Abstract: A fan means 14 is utilised in a closed circuit breathing apparatus to provide an anti-anoxia feature. The apparatus includes a hood 1 having a neck seal 2, a breathing bag 3, within which there is located an oxygen cylinder 13 and the fan means 14, a carbon dioxide filter 8 and a cooler 9. The fan means 14 is arranged to be driven when oxygen is flowing from the oxygen cylinder 13 into the breathing bag 3, and the fan means 14 is positioned so as to drive gas from the breathing bag 3 through the carbon dioxide filter 8 and the cooler 9 into the hood 1. The material of the carbon dioxide filter 8 is selected to be such that gas may readily be driven through it by the fan means 14, but gas will not readily pass when the fan means 14 is not operative. Because the fan means 14 ceases to operate when the oxygen supply from the oxygen cylinder 13 fails, the wearer of the hood 1 is warned that the oxygen cylinder 13 is exhausted. A second breathing bag may be provided between the cooler 9 and the hood 1. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2201193-A (GB)
Title: Slide fasteners and the like
Inventor: CLARK DAVID FRANCIS
IPC: A44B19/32
Filed: 1988-02-12
Abstract: The invention provides a fastener which somewhat resembles a slide fastener but which can be made at least substantially fluid-resistant. It comprises a first component (1), of flexible and resilient material, having an engagement formation having a longitudinal groove (6) and longitudinally spaced mating formations (10), and a second component (2), of similar material, having a rib (16) and longitudinally spaced mating formations (19). The components can be progressively engaged by the introduction of the rib into the groove and the interengagement of the mating formations. The latter prevent significant relative longitudinal movement between the components. Each component can be made by extrusion of a blank followed by the formation of the mating formations by a rotary die (123). The components can be engaged and disengaged by means of a slide (52) like that used in a conventional slide fastener. To prevent the inadvertent disengagement of the components, the component may have longitudinal retaining or locking formations (7,17) and/or interlocking mating formations (10,19). Numerous other examples are illustrated.

Title: Testing multiconductor cables
Inventor: MAYO PETER
IPC: G01R31/58
Filed: 1989-07-25
Abstract: Cable test apparatus for testing a multiconductor cable having a termination device (Fig 3) connected to the conductors at one end of the cable (not shown) and a test device (Fig 4) connected to the conductors at the other end. The termination device has inputs (9) each connected to a common conductor (12) via a predetermined resistance (10). In the test device a voltage source Vcc is sequentially applied (D1-D8) to each of respective outputs (1-8) causing current to flow through the conductor connected to that output, through the appropriate resistor in the termination device and back to the test device through the other conductors. The amplitude of the current is monitored (20-24) in the sequence to detect an open circuit, a short circuit or a crossed wire. The latter is detected by the current level undergoing a decrease during the sequence. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2247366-A (GB)
Title: A two state constant current battery charging system
Inventor: MURRAY PETER
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1990-08-21
Abstract: An automatically operating battery charging system has a storage battery 18 connected in a feedback loop that includes two switched constant current sources I1 and I2. These produce a charging current and a trickle current sufficient to maintain the battery at a predetermined float voltage when charging is complete. The switching is controlled by the output of a comparator 11. During the initial charging stage the charging current is continuous. During the final charging stage an asymmetric time delay network 13 and comparator hysteresis cause a train of charging current pulses to be delivered to the battery. As charging progresses the frequency of the current pulses decreases. The pulse train terminates when the float voyage produces a comparator input V1 sufficient to maintain the system in the trickle current state. The system possesses all the advantages of voltage sensing between the pulses, and temperature compensation 12 may be reliably applied to the final float voltage. Progress of charging may be indicated by visual indicators L1, L2. <IMAGE>
