Patent GB-2264379-A (GB)
Title: Light installation
Inventor: HEFTMAN GEORGE
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 1993-01-27
Abstract: The installation has a sensor unit 1 including an infra-red movement detector 11 and an ambient light sensor 18 which is connected to a remote control unit 2 by only two wires 100 and 101. The light sensor 18 and movement detector 11 are supplied with power from the control unit 2 via parallel diodes 19 and 39 connected to one of the wires 100. The light sensor 18 has a resistance that varies with light level and thereby varies the voltage across the two wires. The movement detector controls a switching transistor 15 connected across the two wires so that, when movement is detected, the wires 100 and 101 are short circuited momentarily via the transistor and voltage drops below the range established by the light sensor. The control unit 2 detects this voltage drop and, when it is followed by a low voltage indicative of a low ambient light level, switches on a lamp 3. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2266681-A (GB)
Title: Moulding
Inventor: WRIGHT PETER
IPC: B28B1/52
Filed: 1993-04-21
Abstract: A mould 10 is filled with a moulding material 12 comprising ceramic fibre in a wet state. The mould cavity is overfilled. Positive pressure in the direction of the arrows 20 is applied to the moulding material 12 to cause the mould halves to close. This forces liquid out of the moulding material to partially dry the material, causing the ceramic fibres to hold together to form a moulded article which retains its form when removed from the mould. Alternatively the mould may be closed initially, and moulding material is then injected into it and subjected to pressure to partially dry it as before. The mould may be made of plaster, and may have drain holes 16. A barrier layer or release layer may be used as a mould lining. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for mounting printing plate on a mounting sheet
Inventor: FORD WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: G03F9/00
Filed: 1993-08-28
Abstract: The method involves pre-mounting a printing plate on a mounting sheet, to facilitate subsequent mounting of the plate on a printing cylinder, and uses a computer and two printers. An original design is produced on a computer, and registration marks are added to the design at specific positions. The resultant design data are output to a first printer. A negative of the design is produced, and a printing plate made with the design and registration marks. The registration marks data are also output to a second printer, together with the dimensions of a workpiece on which the design is to be printed, so that the printer can produce a full size plot of the outline of the workpiece. The plot is then located in a predetermined position relative to the mounting sheet, and the plate is secured on the sheet such that the registration marks on the plate are aligned with those on the plot.

Title: Tamper evident taping of container and closure
Inventor: HUNTER TONY
IPC: B65D55/08
Filed: 1994-11-18
Abstract: A container 12A and its closure 14A are rendered tamper evident by applying a length of adhesive tape 16A over the joint between the container body and the closure and overlapping the tape ends, either a pattern being printed on the overlap (figure 1) or a delaminating tag 15 being attached to the tape.
