Patent GB-2179303-A (GB)
Title: Ships
Inventor: GOLDREIN IAIN SAVILLE
IPC: B63B25/00
Filed: 1986-08-21
Abstract: A ship has a baffle (22) at the bow which deflects air smoothly over any deck cargo - such as ISO containers (18), and deflectors (30) along the sides of the ship from the deck level to the top of the containers (18) to reduce the effect of side winds. Said baffle and defectors are preferably raisable and lowerable to facilitate cargo loading. Ducted fans (42) may be rotatably mounted above the deck for connection to e.g. a generator (19). The ship may have a removable docking structure (60) whereby the cargo/containers on the deck can be removed of placed with the decking, allowing loading of the deck prior to the ship's arrival in port and unloading after the ship's departure. Removal may be achieved by inserting support means into recesses (64, Figure 2) in the deck and lowering the ship's hull in, for example, a lock (Figure 3). <IMAGE>

Title: Locking motor-vehicle parking brake
Inventor: KLEMMER HERBERT
IPC: B60T7/04
Filed: 1986-12-23
Abstract: A device for the automatic locking of an actuating member of a motor-vehicle parking brake in a brake actuation position has an engagement toothing 34 and a detent pawl 32 which is adjustable counter to the effect of a restoring spring 48, and which slides along the engagement toothing when the actuating member 16 is actuated and, when the latter is let go, automatically lodges in the same engagement toothing, and which can be moved into a release position in order to disengage the actuating member 16. So that, when the actuating member is adjusted into the brake actuation position, the clicking noises caused when the detent pawl 32 and engagement toothing 34 interact are not felt to be a nuisance, a vibration-damping material 56 is provided between the faces of the detent pawl and of the engagement toothing which strike against one another. <IMAGE>

Title: Gas safety control device
Inventor: CHANG SHUI
IPC: F24C3/12
Filed: 1987-01-19
Abstract: A gas safety control device comprising a gas supply inlet (17), a gas supply outlet (18), a flame sensor (11) and a magnetic member (1) which at least partially defines a gas passage (14) between the gas inlet (17) and outlet (18) and which is movable between respective open and closed positions of the gas outlet (18), wherein the member (1) is biassed into its open gas outlet position and is movable into its closed gas outlet position by a magnetically repulsive force of like polarity to that of the member (1), when the flame sensor (11) senses the absence of a flame at a gas burner with which the sensor is associated during use of the device. The valve member (1) has one or more axially extending grooves on its periphery defining the gas passage (14) so that an overpressure in the inlet (17) causes the valve to close. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2190149-A (GB)
Title: Radial piston pump
Inventor: BUDECKER LUDWIG
IPC: F04B1/107
Filed: 1987-02-26
Abstract: A radial piston pump, for use with a motor vehicle brake system with slip control, includes two parallel working circuits (1, 2) drivable by the same drive motor (6). The working pressure of the first working circuit (1) is limited to a preset value. Above said value only the second working circuit (2) is effective. The advantage is that with low power consumption of the drive motor the delivery rate in the low pressure range is relatively high, while it is relatively low in the case of high pressures, as is required in brake systems with slip control. …<??>As shown the pumps have a common rotor (5) and journal (7) bearing inlet conduit (19) and outlet conduit (18), but have different eccentric cam rings (3, 4). …<??>Pistons (12, 13) of circuit (1) are a loose fit in their cylinders (8, 9) and so provide a throttled connection between pressure and section sides. The preset pressure at which circuit (1) ceases to be effective is that pressure at which all the pressure fluid is conveyed past pistons (12, 13) back to the suction side. …<??>Optionally the output pressure may be used to shut a valve to cut off the supply of fluid to circuit (1). …<IMAGE>…

Title: AM interference suppression arrangement
Inventor: HAWKES HENRY WILLIAM
IPC: H03D1/22
Filed: 1987-03-09
Abstract: A method of reducing or eliminating the interference caused to a wanted radiocommunication signal comprising an AM carrier by at least one concurrent unwanted such signal in an adjacent channel. The carrier of at least one of the concurrent signals is extracted from the concurrent signals, and from it is generated a carrier of the same frequency but of different amplitude and/or opposite phase. The generated carrier is then combined with the original concurrent signals and the combination subjected to a conventional detection step in such a way as to enhance the wanted detected signal relative to the unwanted detected signal. Finally, and if necessary, the difference-frequency signal between the concurrent signals is filtered out. <IMAGE>
