Title: An internal combustion engine
Inventor: MERRITT DAN
IPC: F02B19/04
Filed: 1992-10-29
Granted: 1995-07-26
Abstract: An internal combustion engine has at least one set of first and second cylinders (12,14), the first cylinder (12) having a larger swept volume than the second cylinder (14), and respective first and second pistons (16,18) movable in the cylinders. The pistons are coupled together such that they are movable in the cylinders in a cyclic manner at the same frequency. An air inlet (24) and an exhaust outlet open into the first cylinder and a fuel injector (34) provides fuel to the second cylinder. A combustion space (20) is also provided which communicates with both cylinders during at least a portion of the expansion stroke. The second piston has a crown (35) and a body portion (19), with the crown being spaced from and connected to the body portion and having an edge (37) which is relatively small in the axial direction compared to the distance between the crown and the body portion in the axial direction. The combustion space (20) is defined between the piston crown and body portion and a side wall (14a) of the second cylinder. The gap (128) between the crown edge (37) and the cylinder wall (14a) serves to inhibit ingression of fuel into the combustion space (20) until towards the end of the compression stroke. Access means (30) associated with the second cylinder for admitting fuel and/or air to the second cylinder during the induction stroke comprises a port (33) opening into the second cylinder and a valve (31) for controlling port. <IMAGE>

Title: Microwave heating appts. for e.g. stored coal
Inventor: DERYCK BRANDON
IPC: H05B/
Filed: 1983-01-24
Granted: 1990-04-12
Abstract: The appts. is used for heating, thawing and/or demoisturising materials and/or objects by means of microwave energy. In one embodiment for heating particulate material stored in an open-faced rail car, a hood having a length twice that of the car and provided with shielding strips is mounted such that the shielding strips engage the car to form a shield microwave cavity between the hood and the car. The car is then transported beneath the hood, with the shielded cavity being maintained by the shielding strips, and irradiated by microwave energy emitted from magnetrons mounted on the hood. In another embodiment, drilling devices coupled to a microwave source penetrate a substance to be heated. Then the microwave source is energised and emits microwave energy to the substance at the penetration depth. As the drilling device is extracted, the source is maintained energised for at least a part of the extraction period. Applications are to the fields of coal thawing, insect pest control and oil recovery.

IPC: F21K/
Filed: 1980-07-31
Granted: 1990-06-21
Abstract: The device for providing a display corresponding to selective pressure applied thereto comprises a sheet of opaque material having a smooth surface and a sheet of translucent material having a dye and a smooth surface. At least one of the sheets of pliable plastics. The sheets overlie each other, with the smooth surface of each adjacent to, and in contact with, the smooth surface of the other and forming an interface. The smooth surfaces are urged into intimate contact with each other by selective pressure applied to one of the sheets to produce a display. The smooth surfaces adhere to each other when in intimate contact at the interface maintaining a display. The sheets are separable from each other to terminate the intimate contact at the interface and thereby terminate the display. A battery operated heating device is provided in operative proximity with both sheets for heating the sheets to prevent failure of the surface to adhere to each other upon application of pressure.

Title: Tomographic X=ray examination appts. - passes beam through rotating patient onto rotating photographic plate to obtain stack of photographs
IPC: G03B/
Filed: 1976-12-27
Granted: 1985-03-04
Abstract: A method of obtaining an axial tomogram uses a beam of radiation, particularly an X-ray beam which is directed through a slit in a plate, onto e.g. the head of an examined person, while the person is rotated about a vertical axis. This has the effect of varying the absorption of the beam, which is then received by a photographic plate which also rotates about a vertical axis. A series of photographic plates is used, so that a stack of photographs is obtained, giving a radiogram. The rotary speeds are programmed to give a correct exposure. Alternatively, the receiving surface can be a fluorescent screen, onto which the camera is focussed. Further, the position of the examined person can be fixed, and the apparatus rotated around him.
