Title: Conveying plant
Inventor: VERTOGEN MARTINUS JOHANNES MAR
IPC: B65G47/76
Filed: 1997-12-10
Abstract: A conveying plant comprises at least two discharge conveyors 1,2 disposed one above the other and at least one supply conveyor (not shown). Two auxiliary conveyors 3,8 are used to transport goods from the supply conveyor to either one of the discharge conveyors 3,8. One auxiliary conveyor 8 is disposed near a discharge end of the supply conveyor, and is pivotable about a pivot axis 12 located near the discharge end of the supply conveyor, between a first position (solid lines) and a second position (broken lines) adjacent discharge conveyor 2. A second auxiliary conveyor 3 connects to one of the two discharge conveyors 1 and is pivotable about a pivot axis 7 located near one end of the discharge conveyor 1, between a first position (solid lines), in which the facing ends of the two auxiliary conveyors 3,8 are located near each other, and a second position (broken lines), in which the end of the second auxiliary conveyor 3 furthest from the discharge conveyor 1 has been pivoted upwards relative to said first position. In the first position goods are supplied to discharge conveyor 1 and in the second position goods are transferred to discharge conveyor 2. A variety of methods to pivot the auxiliary conveyors 3,8 are disclosed. Shown here are two connecting rods 13,19 linked from the two auxiliary conveyors 3,8 respectively to a pivotable connecting piece 14 which is pivoted using a setting cylinder 21. Alternatively the connecting piece (24, figure 2; 28, figure 3) is slidable within a guide member (25, figure 2; 29, figure 3). Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment where the auxiliary conveyors 3,8 are directly pivoted using setting cylinders 33,35 respectively. Alternatively motors, pulleys or gears are used to pivot the auxiliary conveyors (figures 5-8).

Title: Optical logic devices and methods
Inventor: ROBERTS KIM BYRON
IPC: G02F1/35
Filed: 1998-03-02
Abstract: An optical logic device is provided by an interferometer (1) having an output which defines a logic state 1 or 0 in dependence upon an interference condition existing in the interferometer. Each arm (3,4) of the interferometer contains a semiconductor optical amplifier (8,9) in which the effect of cross phase modulation is utilized to modulate the phase of light transmitted through the respective arms. Optical signals are counter propagated through one or both of the arms in order to provide the cross modulation and thereby enable the interference condition to be set to one or other of the logic states. Automatic level control (33) is provided at inputs to the interferometer and between successive stages of logic device. The method has application to high frequency digital optical communication systems where all optical logic operations are required.

Title: Circuit connector device
Inventor: NAGAMINE AKIRA
IPC: H05K5/00
Filed: 1998-06-11
Abstract: A circuit device includes a board assembly 10 which has a housing 50 mounted on an edge of a circuit board 100. The edge includes protruding sections 160 on which a plurality of contact pads 180 are aligned.

Patent GB-2341843-A (GB)
Title: Variable width excavation bucket
Inventor: MANSFIELD JOHN EDWARD
IPC: E02F3/40
Filed: 1998-09-24
Abstract: A variable width excavation bucket has a main chassis body 2 and a pair of extendable sides 3 and 4. The extendable sides are housed within the hollow sleeve of the main chassis body 2. To promote as much extension as is possible from the minimum size of the excavation bucket the extensions overlap within the main chassis body 2. A hydraulic ram or rams (not shown) will push the side extensions apart thus increasing the width of the bucket. Reversing the action of the ram(s) will cause the excavation bucket to decrease in width. Guides within the main chassis body will ensure smooth movement of the extensions and a suitable locking device will keep the excavation bucket at its desired width.

Title: VLSI chip macro interface
Inventor: GRAY MANDY ALEXANDER
IPC: H04L12/933
Filed: 1998-11-06
Abstract: For connecting together, in a VLSI chip, a plurality of macros which require data flow connections between each other, a simple standard interface is realised between all macros. Any number of macros can be connected together, also allowing concurrent transactions between 4 or more macros using a cross-bar switch. Each macro may be a master (capable of requesting connections), a slave (capable of receiving connections from a master) or both. The centralised inter-connect logic includes three major components: the cross-bar switch, which makes the connections between the macros, the address decoder, which determines which slave each master wishes to connect to and an arbiter, which arbitrates between the macros when two or more masters request a connection simultaneously.

Abstract: 984,812. Ignition systems. MALLARD Ltd. Nov. 23, 1962, No. 44383/62. Heading F1B. A circuit for an ignition system of an I.C. engine having an ignition coil and a contactbreaker CB, comprises a transistor T3 with its emitter collector path connected effectively in series with the primary winding P of the coil, means for connecting the transistor path and winding across a supply battery, means for deriving from the battery forward bias current for the transistor whenever the contact-breaker CB is in the closed condition and means for inhibiting the occurrence or the effect of the forward bias when the engine is stationary. The means for inhibiting the forward bias may provide substantially the effect of a short circuit between the base and emitter of the transistor as shown the means for providing substantially the effect of a short circuit comprises the emitter collector path of an auxiliary control transistor Tl. The control transistor Tl is controlled at its base by a control circuit which includes means R1 for applying a standing forward bias to the control transistor T1 and means for neutralising the forward bias when the engine speed is greater than a predetermined minimum speed The neutralisation of forward bias is obtained by intermittent charging of a first capacitor C1 and means for discharging the capacitor into a storage capacitor C2 when CB closes C1 is charged through D1 and D2 when CB opens D1 and D2 are biased in reverse and current flows from C1 through R2 and R3 into C2 establishing a positive bias across C2. The circuit of Fig. 2 (not shown) introduces a combination of n-p-o-n and p-n-p transistors. It also includes a third diode and is slightly rearranged with respect to Fig. 1. The third diode can be replaced by a resistor.

Title: Particulate handling apparatus
Inventor: SHEEHAN PATRICK GERRARD
IPC: B65G53/10
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: Particulate material is transported using apparatus having substantially parallel conduits 2, 4 each having an open end 6, 8 and an arrangement for reversibly moving the open ends in an axial direction relative to one another. The conduits are arranged coaxially with the inner conduit 2 adapted for the transportation of gas entrained particulate material and the outer conduit 4 adapted for the transportation of gas to the conduit open end. The flow path of gas and the gas turbulence between the conduits can be altered by relative axial movement of the conduits whilst movement of the gas entrained particulate material is occurring. This enables creation of optimal conditions for the entrainment of particulate material, particularly where the particulate material to be transported is not homogeneous. The relative axial movement of the conduits whilst particulate material is being transported may be achieved either by a motive means or manually via the operation of a lever arrangement 16.
