Patent GB-811652-A (GB)
Abstract: 811,652. Wire resistors. MATH, F. May 11, 1956 [May 12, 1955], No. 14779/56. Class 37. [Also in Group IX] Resistors are manufactured from a length of woven mesh of which the warp 2 has a lower melting point than the weft wire 3 by embedding the mesh in a ceramic, plastic or vitreous material or layers or mixtures of these materials by pressing, injection moulding or dipping, heating to a temperature below the recrystallization range of the weft to destroy the warp and adjusting the value by heating to a higher temperature within the recrystallization range of the weft until the resistance value corresponds to the required cold value. The weft wires may consist of materials known under the Registered Trade Marks " Nichrome " or " Kanthal " or resistive alloys consisting of iron, chromium and aluminium; the warp of brass, zinc, lead or alloys of these metals or non-metallic fibres such as glass, plastics or textiles. Terminal wires 5 are welded or clamped to the mesh, good contacts being made with the weft wire 3. The terminals are then gripped by clamps carried by a conveyer which introduces each length of mesh into a die for the embedding process. Glaze may be applied by stationary sprays after removal from the die. The coated pieces are then carried into a furnace in which the coating is dried and baked. Preferably the destruction of the warp is achieved in this operation. The value is now adjusted by heating the weft by a current several times the value of the operating current supplied by the terminal clamps. This adjustment may be achieved by the use of a constant voltage for a predetermined period or by interrupting the current when it reaches a predetermined value as the resistance value falls. Both these methods may be synchronized to the conveyer movement.

Title: A device for extracting samples from a body of water
IPC: G01N1/12
Filed: 1981-06-09
Abstract: A device for extracting samples from a body of water comprises a vessel 20 located at one end of a rod 2 which is guided for longitudinal movement in a tube 1. The rod is moved within the tube by means of a motor 16 which drives a gear in mesh with teeth on the rod. A vessel is mounted at one end of the rod and is pivotable about an axis 21 substantially perpendicular to the axis of the rod. Thus the motor moves the rod downwardly until the vessel collects a sample from the body of water, the weight of which tips the vessel into an upright position as the rod is moved upwardly. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for feeding thread into a loop-forming system of a knitting machine
Inventor: TSITOVICH IPPOLIT GEORGIEVICH
IPC: D04B15/48
Filed: 1981-11-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus according to the invention are used in circular knitting machines for knitting piecemeal and web products. In accordance with the method, from a thread A are formed turns B extending around a thread supply roll 3 which cooperates with a drive belt 2, and around a cantilever bar 4. At least a part of the thread turns are capable of extending both beneath and outside the belt 2. When the turns are outside the belt 2, the thread tension is caused to relax by bringing these thread turns into engagement with an auxiliary thread supply roll 5 which is caused to rotate at a speed greater than the rotary speed of the main thread supply roll 3. This makes it possible to control either thread tension or its feed rate at a pre-set point of knitting cycle of a product. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2093063-A (GB)
Title: Method for mashing starch-rich material
IPC: C12C7/04
Filed: 1982-01-27
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for mashing starch-rich material, for example whole grain corn or partially crushed corn, when manufacturing alcohol. The method has a very low energy consumption, because the amount of water added to the starch-rich material in the beginning of the mashing stage is low. High pressure steam and a short processing time are used to keep the starch-rich material to water ratio during the processing stage below 1:2 because very little water is condensed from the water vapour during a short period. The mashed material is finally broken down by "shooting" the material from the reactor by using pressurized air, and diluted.

Title: Formation of sialon ceramics
Inventor: WILSON WILLIAM IAN
IPC: C04B35/597
Filed: 1982-09-16
Abstract: A profiled body of silicon nitride and aluminium nitride is dipped in a silica solution such that the silica infiltrate the pores of the body. This silica, together with inconverted silica present in the body, reacts with the aluminium nitride when the body is subsequently fired at around 1800 DEG C in a controlled atmosphere to form sialon. As all the silica is utilised in the reaction, a sialon is formed which can retain its strength up to around 100,000 p.s.i. and at temperatures above 1000 DEG C.

Title: Circuit arrangement for preventing re-establishment of the starting condition in an electric single-phase motor
Inventor: SORENSEN HARALD MANN
IPC: H02P1/44
Filed: 1982-09-17
Abstract: In an electric single-phase motor having a starting circuit, which in connection with an auxiliary winding (2) produces a switching from a starting condition to a running condition when the number of revolutions per minute of the motor during the starting procedure has reached a predetermined value, the starting circuit (5-9) is so designed that after the switching from the starting condition to the running condition it cannot re-establish the starting condition until the feed voltage of the motor has been switched off. Hereby, damages, e.g. destroying of component parts, are avoided, which could otherwise occur if the starting condition is re- established during running, e.g. by an overloading of the motor. <IMAGE>

Title: Synthetic seaweed
Inventor: GARRETT WILLIAM L
IPC: E02B3/04
Filed: 1983-09-15
Abstract: Synthetic seaweed for use in inhibiting coastal erosion comprises an elongate anchor (12) with strips (22) of flexible material connected to the anchor (12). The strips (22) are adapted to float and may have tabs of buoyant material e.g. closed cell, low density foam, affixed to the free end portions thereof to enable the strips (22) to float or to enhance the inherent buoyancy of the strips (22) whereby they maintain a generally upright position under water. Also, the strips (22) are treated to inhibit or prevent marine growth from forming on the surface of the strips (22). Such treatment may include an antifouling agent or a frictionless film, applied to the strips (22) as a laminate or extruded directly onto the strips (22), for example. In use, the anchor rests upon the bottom of the sea and the submerged flexible strips (22), preferably of non-woven material, extend upwardly therefrom. The strips (22) sway in the ocean water thereby reducing currents in the surrounding water which permits accretion of suspended sand and promotes sedimentation of solid particles. <IMAGE>

Title: System for collecting data from vending machine
Inventor: EGLISE DAVID
IPC: G07F9/08
Filed: 1983-10-18
Abstract: A system for collecting data from machines is particularly but not exclusively, suited for use as a vending machine audit system, and, in the preferred embodiment, comprises an audit controller which records transaction data relating to the operation of the machine and periodically is caused to transfer the data into a data storage module in the form of a non-volatile memory. The module can be removed and inserted into a down-loading machine at a central location which extracts the data and uses it to provide a transaction record.The audit controller stores in the module a predetermined indication code only after first checking that the transaction data has been correctly stored in the module. The indication code signifies to the down-loading machine that the data was correctly transferred to the module. There is thus no need to lock the module into the controller during data transfer, because removal of the module during data transfer will not result in the production of an incorrect transaction record.Transfer of data to the module takes place only if the module stores an appropriate security code. If the customer forgets his own security code, access to the data is permitted by storing in the module a "skeleton" code known to the manufacturer.
