Patent GB-2004410-A (GB)
Title: Cell connector for lead-acid storage batteries
IPC: H01M50/529
Filed: 1978-09-18
Abstract: An intercell connector comprises a yoke part (1) extending through an opening (6) of a cell partition (7), depending terminal parts (2) and terminal bridges (3) for connection to the plate assemblies. Each terminal part (2) has one or more peripheral grooves (4). The connector is sealed to the partition (7) by injection-moulding of a synthetic resin (10) which completely encloses the grooves (4) and surrounds the greater parts of the terminal parts (2) and the entire yoke part (1). In another construction the grooves (4) are replaced by ridges extending beyond the surface of the terminal parts (2). The grooves (4) or ridges serve to increase the length of the electrolyte leakage path between adjacent cells and improve the locking action of the synthetic resin (10) between the connector and the partition (7). <IMAGE>

Title: Electrophotographic copying apparatus
IPC: G03G15/04
Filed: 1979-01-03
Abstract: Electrophotographic copying apparatus has a quenching apparatus operable to quench any electrostatic charge outside the image area on a photoconductor (11) prior to development of the photoconductor. The apparatus includes a cover or pressure plate (3) for holding down an original document on a glass plattern (2) through which the image of the original can be projected onto the photoconductor (11). The surface of the cover plate (3) adjacent the glass plattern (2) is highly reflective and so acts to discharge the photoconductor (11) in areas where the image is not projected. When the cover plate (3) is left open as when a thick original is to be copied, selective ones of a bank of lamps (L1 to L3) are brought into operation to illuminate the areas of the photoconductor (11) out side the image area. The lamps (L1 to L3) are selected for energisation in accordance with the size of the original. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2048447-A (GB)
Title: Pneumatic transport and heat exchange systems
IPC: F28D19/02
Filed: 1979-09-07
Abstract: Gas-solids transport and heat exchange techniques wherein solid particulate material is circulated in a "figure 8" or a circular flow path for selective contact and/or direct heat exchange with gaseous media. The particulate material is introduced into streams of gaseous media at spaced locations in the flow path and subsequently separated from the gaseous streams following contact and/or heat exchange therewith. The gaseous streams are maintained separate from one another by loose packed bed columns of particulate material formed in the flow path and used to introduce the particulate material into the gaseous streams. The flow rate of the particulate material is regulated by the controlled biasing of particulate material from each of the columns thereof directly into the gaseous streams, and the particulate material is circulated solely through the use of the gaseous media and the force of gravity. The particulate material is circulated in cocurrent relationship with each of the gaseous streams in figure 8 flow path systems and, in circular flow path systems, the particulate material is circulated in cocurrent relationship with one of the gaseous streams and in countercurrent relationship with the other of the gaseous streams. In heat exchange applications, heat transfer between the streams of gaseous media is provided as a function of the flow rate of the particulate material and the relative flow rates of the streams of gaseous media.

Title: Switchable electric fuse mounting for fuse cartridge
IPC: H01H85/00
Filed: 1980-06-04
Abstract: A switchable fuse mounting has an additional switch cam (11) on the movable switch fuse holder (4) for the fused live conductor 6, 6', 8, 8' and this cam (11) engages a moving contact (9') with a fixed contact 9 in the neutral conductor path so as to close or interrupt the neutral path when the switch member is moved into a position corresponding to closure or interruption of the fused live conductor path. The neutral switching operation leads the live switching operation on re-establishment of contact and lags behind the live switching operation on interruption of contact. In a modification a closure member for a threaded cartridge fuse may operate a pair of bridging contacts in the live and neutral lines respectively. <IMAGE>
