Title: Lamp with a holder
IPC: B62J6/02
Filed: 1981-02-19
Abstract: In order to simplify the necessary lamp accessories of a bicycle a lamp (9) with a current supply is prepared with a slide shoe (10) that can be brought into gear with a groove (4) in a holder (1) of the kind that can be fixed to the existing lamp bracket (13) of a bicycle.

Abstract: Monoclonal antibody characterised by its specificity to interferon-//c(leukocyte interferon). Preferably the antibody has specificity to human interferon-//c. The monoclonal antibody is secreted by a hybrid cell formed by the fusion of lymphocyte cells derived from an animal immunized with interferon-//c, with mycloma cells. The antibody has applications in the purification of interferon. It may be covalently attached to a solid support and used as an immuno-adsorbent. Purifications of up to 5000 fold may be obtained in a single pass through an immunoadsorption column of this type. An immunoradiometric assay for interferon-//c is also described.
Patent GB-2119533-A (GB)
Title: A Bragg cell
Inventor: GRATZE STEPHEN CECIL
IPC: G01R23/17
Filed: 1982-04-17
Abstract: Acoustic surface skimming bulk waves (SSBW) interact with electromagnetic waves so that the SSBW diffract the electromagnetic waves through a wavelength dependent angle. The SSBW have good interaction efficiency with the optical waves together with a fairly broad bandwidth. The SSBW are generated by transducers 2 and 3 according to a signal source 4 e.g. a radar receiver, the frequency spectrum of which it is desired to analyse, and are guided along a layer 1B to a region 7 where they interact with optical radiation from a monochromatic laser 5. The optical radiation undergoes Bragg diffraction and is received by an array 11 of detectors, the detector or detectors illuminated depending on the frequency components of the signal source 4. Separate guides may be used for the optical and acoustic waves instead of the single guide layer 1B and in some cases the acoustic guide layer may be omitted, the waves then remaining close to the surface due to their surface skimming nature. <IMAGE>

IPC: E04D1/36
Filed: 1982-06-25
Abstract: Joint strips 6 of I section have upper flanges 8 which are engaged in the grooves 3 of two adjoining roof tiles 4 and 9. Raised ribs 11 on the upper surfaces of the lower and upper flanges 7 and 8 of the strips 6 define run-off channels for rain-water entering the gap 12 between the tiles 4 and 9, which gap is sealed by the strip 6. The tiles may be secured by nailing to the roof battens, or by securing the strips 6 to the battens. In either case the bottom edges of the tiles may be held down by under clips which engage in the grooves 3 and hook over the top edges of a lower tile. The tiles may have an expanded plastics cover surrounded by a skin of glass-fibre reinforced cement/ sand mix. <IMAGE>

Centering controls (101, 102), Fig.3 (not shown), are also included for automatically centering the transversely adjustable cloth roll carriage 30 on the machine frame 12 for proper alignment with the loader arms 60. Lock-out controls (145), Fig. 3 (not shown), are also provided to prevent the edge controls (47) from shifting the cloth roll carriage (30) while the loader arms (60) are in a forward position interfering with the carriage (30). <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2106204-A (GB)
Title: Bicycle rim brake
Inventor: BOYD WINNETT
IPC: B62L5/00
Filed: 1982-09-16
Abstract: The brake has a stirrup (54) of strip steel with arms which are resiliently reflectable so as to clasp shoes (63) against opposite sides of the rim of a wheel (6) upon the stirrup being moved wedging engagement with guides provided by brackets ((64)) so that outward movement of the stirrup causes deflection of the arms towards one another. The radially outward movement of the stirrup is preferably provided by an actuator (24) operated by back-pedalling of a pedal crankshaft of the bicycle, the brake being applied to a rear wheel of the bicycle. Upon pedalling of the bicycle, lost motion between crankshaft and front chain wheel (18) is taken up against a progressive bias applied by a spring (see Figs 9-11). The actuator may also operate a front brake being connected to it by a cable (50) having resilience to automatically limit the braking effort applied to the front brake. The further assist in preventing lock-up when the bicycle is wheeled rearwardly the stirrup guides may have provision for a limited degree of tangential displacement of the stirrup (54) relative to the rim (6). <IMAGE>

Title: Developer solutions and processes for making lithographic printing plates
Inventor: DICKINSON PETER
IPC: G03F7/32
Filed: 1982-11-02
Abstract: A single-phase developer liquid for lithographic printing plates sensitized with diazo or diazonium compounds and incorporating a resin that is not light sensitive but has better mechanical properties than the said compound. The resin may be mixed with the sensitiser or may be coated over it. The developer includes 10 to 20 parts of a water-immiscible solvent for the resin present in the plate and correspondingly 80 to 90 parts water together with sufficient solubilisers to obtain a single-phase solution. The solubilisers include both an anionic surfactant and a non-ionic surfactant. The anionic surfactant is relatively hydrophilic (at least as hydrophilic as sodium nonyl sulphate) and the non-ionic surfactant is relatively organophilic. By using two surfactants of this kind together, rapid action without the separation of large flakes of resin can be obtained, and the tendency to foam is usefully reduced.

Title: Control circuit for a short- circuit rotor asynchronous motor with commutable poles
Inventor: HULSMANN MICHAEL
IPC: H02P23/24
Filed: 1982-12-02
Abstract: The circuit provides reversal of rotation, a smooth start and electric braking and includes means by which both the starting torque and accelerating process are able to be controlled, and also braking can take place electrically with variable moment. A circuit includes an electronic switch (2) connected in series to at least one phase of the motor windings (1), and controlled such that during starting the forward flow angle, following a time- dependent function, rises from an adjustable initial value up to the full value of the sine half wave, such control being linked by an instrument (4) to the rotational speed of the motor to cause a switchover from the high-polar windings to the low-polar winding, on reaching the high-polar rotational speed. On switchover from the low-polar windings to the high- polar windings in the braking process, the forward flow angle from the switch (2) is limited to the set initial value and is then increased dependent on time. <IMAGE>

Title: Word processing
Inventor: NEWELL ALAN FRANCIS
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 1983-11-29
Abstract: A word processor, especially an editing transcriber producing text from machine shorthand chords, is provided with additional editing commands which facilitate rapid correction of text. A cue command automatically moves the editing cursor to the next word likely to need editing because it includes an impossible letter combination or is not in a dictionary, specifically was therefore produced by use of a transliteration algorithm. A try command provides predetermined changes to a word which are likely to effect the required correction, e.g. predetermined transposition of letters, correction of common spelling errors and correction of common mis-keyings. The repertoire of changes may be built up by the typist or built up automatically by logging commonly effected corrections. In the case of an editing transcriber the try command may repeat transcriptions, then implement a spelling corrector, then implement an extended transliteration algorithm.

Abstract: A shoe support for supporting a shoe, bottom uppermost, with the bottom exposed for an operation to be performed thereon, e.g. a marginal roughing operation, comprises toe end support means (470) and a heel end support arrangement (472). This latter arrangement (472) comprises a retractable holddown (450), a heel end support member (362), a heel end stop member (380) and clamping means (390,392).
