Title: Method of and device for closing a safety servo valve
Inventor: BAYART MARTIN
IPC: F16K17/04
Filed: 1983-03-17
Abstract: This method and the device for carrying out the method is applicable to safety servo valves comprising notably a nozzle 2 communicating with a tank or the like in which it is desired to limit the pressure, a movable valve member 7, means 8 for resiliently urging this valve member against the nozzle but permitting the unseating of the valve member when the pressure in the tank exceeds a predetermined calibration pressure, and controlled servo means 23 adapted to press the valve member against the nozzle. The servo means are actuated for reclosing the valve, during a predetermined time period, when the tank pressure drops below the closing value. Besides, the action exerted by the servo means is suppressed when the pressure in the tank rises beyond the closing pressure. This invention is applicable more particularly to fluid flow equipments for limiting the pressure of a fluid in a vessel, notably cooling systems. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for the automatic clamping and unclamping of a workpiece support to a machine table
Inventor: DRASSDO BERNHARD
IPC: B23Q1/00
Filed: 1983-04-12
Abstract: A clamping element (11) housed in the table (1) is formed as a rocker arm which is pivoted about a guide pin (10) in a bearing (12). The short lever arm of the rocker arm is engaged by the drive head (6) of an actuating member (5), whilst the hook-shaped long lever arm projects over the surface between the table (1) and the workpiece support (21). The rocker arm is displaceable in its bearing (12) in the direction of the clamping force against the action of a spring (9). In operation when the member (5) is moved downwards, the arm first pivots about the pin (10) such that the hook (15) engages fully with the L-slot (22) in the work support (21) (see Fig. 2). Further movement of the member (5) then causes the arm to move linearly in the direction of the clamping force to effect the clamping via the abutment face (24) (see Fig 3). The arrangement is particularly useful in the automatic clamping of workpieces in a production process. <IMAGE>

Title: Assembly of electronic components
Inventor: ALLEN LESLIE JOHN
IPC: H05K3/32
Filed: 1984-07-02
Abstract: A chip carrier mounting device which is hereinafter also referred to as an "interconnection preform placement device" includes a retaining member having a predetermined pattern of apertures in which are positioned preforms of joint-forming material such as solder. The preform retains its general configuration after the interconnection or soldering process to form a resilient joint which is more capable of withstanding stress, strain and fatique. A method of forming resilient interconnections comprises placing the interconnection retaining member device between parallel patterns of electrically conductive elements, such as the conductive pads on an electronic component and a circuit board, and effecting the bonding of the conductive elements with the preforms. The joint-forming material may be a filled solder composition or a supported solder which substantially maintain their physical shape when the solder is molten, or a conductive elastomer.
