Title: Pressure surge sensor and assembly including such a sensor and a rupture disc
Filed: 2009-10-19
Abstract: A pressure surge sensor has a body (10) having a cylinder passage (13), a magnetically actuated electrical switch (17) mounted on the body, and a piston member (20) movable along the passage relative to the switch. The piston member carries a magnet. When the cylinder passage (13) is coupled to a fluid pressure surge source, a fluid pressure surge applied causes the piston member to move along the cylinder passage relative to said switch, thereby actuating the switch. A breakable retainer element restrains the piston member against movement, and the piston is freely movable along the cylinder passage, after release by the retainer. The pressure surge sensor is suitable to be arranged downstream of a rupture disc, which releases overpressure of a pressurised apparatus, for example an extrusion apparatus, or a gas handling or gas storage system.

Title: Optical fibre monitoring
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 1989-09-29
Abstract: A clip-on device for detecting whether or not an optical fibre F is carrying a light signal subjects a first portion of an optical fibre to microbending and detects any light escaping from the fibre as a result. The device comprises an anvil 2 having an undulating surface and a pulsed pressure pad 1, driven by a motor 10, for urging an optical fibre F against the undulating surface of the anvil so that a portion of the fibre is subjected to microbending of a gradually increasing extent. A second portion of the fibre is subjected to macrobending by a light guide 8 or 9, which macrobending is insufficient, by itself, to cause a substantial amount of light to escape from the fibre, but serves to concentrate the light caused to leak from the fibre by microbending of the first portion of the fibre. A control unit 13, operatively coupled to the photodetectors 6 and 7 associated with the light guides 8 and 9 and to the pressure pad 1 gives an output indication on receipt of a signal from the photodetector 6 or 7 that escaping light has been detected and, on receipt of such signal, stops the motor 10 so that the pressure pad 1 is stopped from further increasing the extent of microbending of the portion of the fibre. <IMAGE>

Date Feb. 6, 1997A multi-head drinks-dispensing apparatus having a group of drinks-dispensing heads each arranged for supply with drink ingredients through fluid control valves. A keypad has a first group of keys for selecting the type of drink and the dispensing head to be used, and a second group of keys for selecting the quantity of drink to be dispensed. Signals from those groups of keys are processed in a micro-processor, which energizes the relevant pair of valves to commence delivery of the selected drink without any delay. Dispensing of the selected drink is initiated at the earliest moment, while other drinks are being selected, so that selected drinks can be dispensed from the dispensing heads in a serial, overlapping manner. This facilitates the dispensing of a customer's multi-drink order in the shortest possible time. The processor stores data concerning the various drinks that are dispensed in a non-volatile memory, and this data can be transferred to a data collection unit via an infrared link, and then to a drinks management system.

Date Oct. 30, 1997An energy meter for measuring parameters of fuel gas. The meter has a gas inlet and outlet and a central tube along which the gas flows from inlet to outlet. Ultra-sound transducers and a control form a system whereby the speed of ultra-sound signals traveling through the gas between the transducers is measured and used in the control to calculate the volume of gas which is passed through the meter. The ultra-sound signals pass through apertures in the walls of chambers containing the transducers. Another ultra-sound transducer in the chamber which is connected to the control acts as an emitter and receiver of ultra-sound signals reflected by reflectors. These signals travel through the fuel gas in the chamber and their attenuation is observed and measured by the control when they are received by the transducer. The measured attenuation is used to derive the calorific value and/or Wobbe index of the gas. The control uses the volume of gas and the calorific value and/or Wobbe index to derive the amount of energy in the gas.
