Title: Improvements in or relating to drive assemblies
Inventor: HOSKING PETER
IPC: B23B29/034
Filed: 1982-06-03
Abstract: A drive assembly 10 for a boring bar 40 comprises a drive unit (tool body 11) and a driven unit (tool holder and slide 12), the units 11, 12 being urged together by clamping shoes 29 located by aligned slots 18 and sockets 27 formed in units 11, 12 respectively. Each shoe 29 is formed with a circumferential slot 30 on a circular portion 31 and a lateral slot 32 on a transverse portion 33. Bores 28 in unit 11 locate screws 34 having reduced-section ends 35 which are received in the circumferential slots 30 of the shoes 29 whereby the shoes are arrested in the unit 12. Bores 19 locate screws 36 having tapered lower ends 36a which are received in the lateral slots 32 of the shoes 29. As each screw 36 is rotated inwardly, the tapered bottom end 36a thereof engages inclined wedge face 37 on the associated clamping shoe 29 so that it is urged towards the left (as viewed in Figure 1), thus bringing the end faces 16, 26 of units 11, 12 into firm engagement with each other. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2124427-A (GB)
Title: Insulated gate semiconductor devices
Inventor: TEMPLE VICTOR ALBERT KEITH
IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 1983-06-28
Abstract: Processes for manufacturing insulated-gate semiconductor devices such as MOSFETs wherein source 62 and base 64 regions and a source-to- base ohmic short 69 are formed employing self-aligned techniques are disclosed. The processes begin with a semiconductor wafer, a gate insulating layer initially formed on the surface of the wafer, and a polysilicon gate layer. Through masking and etching steps, channels are etched through the polysilicon gate layer to the wafer. The unetched portions define polysilicon gate electrodes spaced along the wafer. An initial etch produces relatively narrow channels. Unetched portions of the polysilicon layer are then used as masks to form the source-to-base short 69. In a subsequent etch, previously unetched portions of the polysilicon gate electrode layer are etched to define wider channels and insulated polysilicon gate electrode structures 70 spaced along the wafer surface. MOSFET source 62 and base 64 regions are then formed, employing the polysilicon gate electrode structures as masks. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2128437-A (GB)
Title: Digital filters for remote control receivers
Inventor: MUELLER BEAT
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 1983-09-16
Abstract: In providing digital filters for remote control receivers, in particular, for audio-frequency centralized ripple control receivers in an economic manner, it is advantageous to be able to use a processor unit with as low a bit number as possible (for example, an 8-bit microcomputer). In a conventional design of a filter according to the prior art, the dynamic range which is provided with an 8-bit processor element is insufficient in ensuring a perfect operation of the filter when a quality factor Q of about 30 is needed for the intended purpose of use and, on the other hand, when the dynamic range of the wanted signal which is given in practice is taken into consideration. A solution is indicated which overcomes these difficulties, which particularly involves the selected arrangement of zeros in the pass-band of the filter.

Title: Producing crimped, staple fibres
Inventor: BUSSMANN MANFRED
IPC: D01G21/00
Filed: 1985-07-11
Abstract: The invention relates to the production of spinable fibres which are preferably continuously spun as filament threads (1) in a fibre process, folded and collectively stretched.

IPC: A01B15/14
Filed: 1986-01-17
Abstract: A plough which has a width-of-cut adjustment facility, the adjustment and simultaneous adaption of the front furrow width and traction point being facilitated by the fact that effects are not reciprocal, characterised in that the adjustment device is constructed as a four-bar linkage, 13, 14, 15, 16 of which the instantaneous centre of rotation is disposed in the centrode of the bottom link 2 of the tractor, of which the central link 16 is in an imaginary or actual manner pivotally connected on the plough frame 4 and the rod 7 which connects the plough bodies 5, 6 to one another and is lockable. The lockable construction is achieved thereby through two further links 19, 20 interposed on the one hand between the plough frame 4 and central link 16 and on the other between the plough frame and one of the other links 14 of the four-bar linkage. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2185802-A (GB)
Title: Rubber tube valve
Inventor: FERGUSON DAVID HENRY
IPC: F16K7/06
Filed: 1986-01-24
Abstract: A valve comprises a rubber tube 3 which acts as a valve and is actuated by a float 5. As shown, when the float drops down with the water level in a cistern it causes a member 2 to drop away from a flat valve seat 1, permitting the rubber tube 3 to spring open and allow water to flow through the rubber tube 3 into the cistern. As the cistern fills the float 5 rises with the water level, causing the member 2 to rise and compress the rubber tube 3 against the flat valve seat 1, shutting off the flow of water through the rubber tube 3. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2196787-A (GB)
Title: Semiconductor chip manufacture
Inventor: BAKER ROGER LESLIE
IPC: H01L27/082
Filed: 1986-10-31
Abstract: The need often arises to have on the same chip a number of bipolar transistors of different sizes. To do this, each "large" transistor is made up of two or more "small" transistors connected in parallel. The process involves doing most of the chip manufacture with a set of common masks, which can be regarded as semi-customisation, whereafter a single mask is used to apply metallisation to the chip to parallel-connect the transistors to give the required transistor sizes. This is described in its application to merged technology. <IMAGE>

Title: Processing paper and other webs
Inventor: BOWMAN KENNETH ALBERT
IPC: B41F13/00
Filed: 1987-05-13
Abstract: A printing apparatus has an array of cartridges (40,41,42) for printing a web (2) of e.g. paper passing through the array, and one or more units (48,49) containing printing medium. The cartridges (40,41,42) each are capable of transferring the printing medium from the units(s) (48,49) to the web (2). The unit(s) (48,49) and the cartridges (40,41,42) of the array are relatively movable, to allow the unit(s) (48,49) to interact successively with at least two of the cartridges (40,41,42). In this way it is possible to change printing from one cartridge (40,41,42) to another, allowing changes to be made to what is printed, without halting the movement of web (2) significantly. The present invention also proposes that the cartridges (40,41,42) may have printing cylinders (43,44,45,46) of different sizes, and furthermore that a mobile unwind stand may be used to move web material to the printing apparatus, and the web output from the printing apparatus processed by sheet folding techniques.
