Title: Frequency sources-crystal containers
IPC: H03H9/08
Filed: 1981-06-12
Abstract: A frequency source uses a temperature controlled crystal to determine the frequency of an oscillator. An oscillator circuit 1 of which the crystal 2 forms a part, and a heat source 4 and temperature control circuit 7 are mounted in very close proximity to the crystal so as to minimise variations in its temperature. These two circuits and the crystal are surrounded by a thermally insulating material 15 and enclosed in a container 9 having temperature controlled walls. The temperature of the walls is held at a value which is less than the temperature of the crystal, but which is significantly above the ambient temperature in which the frequency source is to be operated. To enable the walls of the container 9 to be held at constant temperature, the container is mounted within a larger enclosure 18 with further thermal insulating material 19 being positioned between the container and the enclosure. <IMAGE>

Title: Actuating device
Inventor: HART WILLIAM BARRIE
IPC: G12B1/00
Filed: 1982-05-07
Abstract: A temperature-responsive actuating device to actuate a load which is to be positionally adjusted, e.g. valve members switch or opening panel of a green house, has a helical element 1 of SME material arranged in compression between a base 2 and a member 3 operatively connected to a load W. A compression bias spring 4 acts between the base 2 and member 3. A substantial part of the load W is carried by the spring 4, the remainder of the load being resisted by the SME element 1. The biasing spring 4 engages a calibration plug 5 which can be adjusted to control the bias applied by the spring 4 to the member 3. The calibration device allows for the actuating device to be set to operate within a limited temperature range, that range is also dependent on the characteristic of the SME material. Other embodiments described incorporate a tension or compression spring and are particularly adapted for operating green house or cold frame ventilators. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for chemical cutting
Inventor: TERRELL JAMIE BRYANT
IPC: E21B29/02
Filed: 1982-08-04
Abstract: Apparatus for cutting tubing suspended in a borehole includes a chemical module, for the storage of a halogen flouride, disposed between propellant and slip assembly modules. The propellant module generates gas to pressurize a chamber 74 and cause a linear actuation of the slip assembly 14 for the deployment of a cylindrically segmented slip array to securely engage the adjacent tubing and anchor the apparatus therein. The generation of the pressurizing gas also imparts a movement of the incendiary fluid through a catalyst chamber for causing the fluid to react and discharge through a discharge head assembly for the cutting of the adjacent tubing. The slip assembly is constructed with a dual taper, gripping teeth configuration for matingly engaging two discrete tubing diameters, therein facilitating inter- changeable use within conduit of different sizes. <IMAGE>

Title: Collapsible trolley
Inventor: RUSSELL JOHN ARTHUR
IPC: B62B3/02
Filed: 1982-12-24
Abstract: A collapsible trolley has a base 12 and a back 14 hinged together with a linkage 38 extending between them. The linkage 38 includes two rods 46, 48 hinged to each other and to the base 12 and back 14 respectively. A central member 40 is connected to or adjacent the hinge of the two rods 46, 48 and extending via a link rod 44 to the hinge of the base 12 and back 14. A strut 52 extends between the central member 40 and the upper rod 46. When the trolley folds, the strut 52 hinges (or alternatively slides on the rod 46) permitting the central member 40 to pivot in a direction opposite to the direction of folding of the trolley. This pivots the link rod 44 and reduces the distance between the hinge of the two rods 46, 48 and the hinge of the base 12 and back 14. The bracing provided by the rods 46, 48 is removed and the trolley folds. Loads are carried over the strut 52 and this biasses the linkage 38 in the unfolded position. <IMAGE>

Title: Testing the transfer function linearity of analogue input circuits
Inventor: CROWE ALAN SYDNEY
IPC: H03M1/10
Filed: 1983-08-24
Abstract: Testing the transfer function linearity of analogue input circuits. The transfer function linearity of an analogue input circuit, such as an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) 25 is tested by generating two consistently reproducible digital test signals (5), converting the digital test signals to analogue form (7) and forming a combination test signal as the average of the two 'simple' test signals (16). On three successive occasions the digital test signals are generated and on each occasion a different one of the analogue signals is applied to the ADC under test and the digitized signals stored. A digital combination signal is formed by sampling the digitized 'simple' signals and taking the average of the signals, the digital combination and digitized combination signals being subtracted for each sample and any discrepancies summed. The summed total after all the sample points comprising the test signal have been taken gives a measure of any non-linearity of the ADC. The two digital test signals should preferably have no relationship between them and are generated as pseudo-random binary sequences or stored in a ROM.
