Title: Pulse transformer with shock excitation
IPC: H05H5/02
Filed: 1980-05-22
Abstract: A pulse transformer with shock excitation comprises a primary winding (1) and a coaxial multilayer cylindrical secondary winding (2) mounted on a support insulator and connected to a high-voltage bushing oriented along the axis of the transformer. The support insulator comprises a section composed of cylindrical elements (spacers (4) and layers (5)) and another section composed of flat annular elements (6). The cylindrical elements are oriented coaxially to the secondary winding (2) and serve as interlayer insulation of the secondary winding (2), their thickness and height increasing towards the primary winding (1). The flat annular elements (6) are arranged symmetrically in relation to the axis of the transformer and to the plane which is oriented at right angles to that axis and passes through the center of the secondary winding (2). The diameters of the annular layers (6) are increasing towards the butt-ends of the secondary winding (2) corresponding to the increase of the cylindrical layers so that the section composed of the cylindrical elements contacts with the section composed of the flat annular elements (6) along stepped surfaces (7). The pulse transformer with shock excitation is intended for the use as a power source for charged particle accelerator.

Title: Transmission control system in a vehicle
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 1979-01-24
Abstract: An automatic transmission comprises a mechanical transmission 11, gear synchronizers 22 and 23, and a clutch 12 which have been automated by the addition of electro- mechanical and pneumatic operators 15, 18, and 21 and an electronic control system 24. The control system receives operator commands regarding the mode of operation, which can be automatic or manual, and monitors throttle position, engine speed, transmission counter shaft speed (representing transmission input speed) and transmission output shaft speed (representing vehicle speed). By utilising this information, the control system 24 selects the optimum gear ratio, effects synchronization of the selected transmission gear elements, controls clutch engagements and shuts off the fuel supply in accordance with a logic program. In selecting the optimum gear ratio, the control system changes the engine speed at which a shift is commanded in accordance with the differential of a signal representing throttle position and also in accordance with the direction of the previous shift, and in accordance with vehicle acceleration and deceleration. <IMAGE>

The segments may be located on the periphery of a wheel 9 or alternatively they may form an endless belt guided along two wheels. Contact between the tape and the periphery of the wheel 9 may be enhanced by supporting belt 17. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2095926-A (GB)
Title: Branch-off method
IPC: F16B2/20
Filed: 1979-04-04
Abstract: A branch-off seal between a heat- recoverable sleeve, such as a tubular or wrap-around sleeve made from cross- linked polymeric material, and two or more substrates such as electrical cables is effected by using one or more clips the outer legs of which are positioned over the outer surface of the sleeve so as to form an appropriate number of conduits and applying heat to cause the sleeve to shrink about the substrates positioned within the conduits. The clips are constructed so as to reduce the possibility of milking off from the sleeve during shrinkage thereof. The preferred clips are formed as a trident, the central leg of which extends into the heat-recoverable sleeve and is provided with a layer of a hot-melt adhesive or another sealant so as to enhance the seal formed at the branch- off.

Patent GB-828127-A (GB)
Abstract: 828,127. Cash registers. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. March 14, 1958 [May 21, 1957], No. 8217/58. Class 106 (1). In a full keyboard cash register having primary differential members settable under the control of depressed keys and secondary differential members coupled to the associated primary members during the return movement of the latter so as to be positioned thereby in accordance with the amount entered, the coupling is effected in each order by a pinion carried by the primary member so as to engage teeth formed on an inner edge of the secondary member and fast with a locking disc by which it is held against rotation during the return movement of the primary member. The primary members 42 are formed with teeth for the actuation of totalizers interspersed on four lines, whereas the secondary members 43 actuate indicators and type wheels through pinions 75. Each coupling pinion 60 is rotatable on a stud 59 carried by the associated primary member 42 and engages teeth 61 on the secondary member 43. During the first half of a cycle, a universal rod 51 is moved around the shaft 44 on which the differential members are rotatable so as to restore the secondary members 43 to zero positions and allow the primary members 42 to assume differential positions under the control of the keys 23 or in totaltaking, of a selected totalizer. During this movement, the coupling pinions are free to rotate but in the middle of the cycle, pitmans 63 are moved by cams 71, 72 to the right to the position shown in which they engage arcuate indentations in the locking discs 62 fast with the pinions. When the rod 51 is restored, it picks up the primary members 42 and, due to the locking of the coupling pinions, the secondary members are moved with them and assume differential positions, the locking discs moving round arcuate portions of the pitmans 63. The arrangement of the coupling pinions within the differential members saves space in the machine.

Title: Holding apparatus for a disc record signal pickup stylus
Inventor: NEWELL STEPHEN TODD
IPC: H04R1/16
Filed: 1983-04-06
Abstract: Disc record pickup stylus holders are designed to provide vertical decoupling of the pickup stylus from the stylus support. The compliance designed into the holder gives rise to mechanical resonant modes which affect the recovered signal in the audio range. A rigid damping element (19) secured to the compliant section of the stylus holder by a lossy adhesive or a lossy mass rigidly secured to the compliant section of the stylus holder reduces the amplitude of the resonant modes. Alternative embodiments are detailed (Fig. 2B, et seq, not shown). Materials are exemplified. A stylus holder substrate of varying flexibility across its thickness is mentioned. <IMAGE>

Title: Analog-to-digital converters for seismometers
Inventor: GURALF CANSON MUSTAFA
IPC: G01V1/24
Filed: 1984-07-17
Abstract: The analog output signal of a seismometer SM is compared in a comparator COMP with the output of a ramp signal generator RG to produce pulses of width proportional to the instantaneous amplitude of the output signal as determined by pulses from a clock CK via a gate G. The number of clock pulses, as counted by a multi-bit counter CT, provides a digital output signal. The variable-width pulse from comparator COMP is also applied to a converter PC to switch positive and negative precision voltage sources (PVS1) and (PVS2) (Fig. 3) into a low-pass filter which thereby provides an analogue feedback signal to the seismometer SM. <IMAGE>

Title: Spray nozzle
Inventor: SOCHON CLIFFORD K
IPC: E01C19/17
Filed: 1984-09-10
Abstract: A spray nozzle for spraying binder on to road surfaces comprises a body 1 having a vortex chamber 2 which receives a swirl chamber 4 having a tangential inlet 4 and an outlet formed by a spray jet 6. An upper end of the chamber 2 forms a seat which co-operates with a seal 8 of a poppet valve 9 which controls the flow of pressurised binder or the like which enters via supply passages 11 to an axial bore 12.
