Title: Co-axial cables and couplings
Inventor: SMITH HENRY ROY
IPC: H01R13/646
Filed: 1984-04-16
Abstract: Coaxial cable in which a screening layer for the cable is formed by metal ion deposited onto the outer surfaces of a layer of dielectric material surrounding a core of electrically conductive material. In another embodiment the core is formed by ion depositing a metal strip onto a surface of half of the dielectric material and then fixing the other half of the dielectric material onto that surface. The ion deposited screening layer may be covered with a further protective layer e.g. of dielectric material and the outer surface of the cable may be painted. Couplings for coaxial cables are also described in which the body parts of the couplings are formed by moulding thermoplastics materials, the surfaces of those body parts for contacting exposed screen layers of coaxial cables then being metallised by ion deposition. The couplings described include both cable connectors and terminations.

Remaining volatile gases and the fixed carbon in the waste are oxidized in the oxidation zone, and the silicates in the clay are vitrified in a vitrification zone of the kiln to produce aggregates which are crushed and screened. Volatile gases given off from the pyrolysis zone are mixed with exhaust gases from the dryer to feed the burner for the vitrification zone and to supply oxygen to the oxidation zone.
Patent GB-2212997-A (GB)
Title: Electrical load control system
Inventor: LUCHACO DAVID G
IPC: H03K17/13
Filed: 1989-02-21
Abstract: A load 14, eg. a lamp or inductive or capacitive load, is switched by means of a triac 18 which is ON or OFF when a bistable latch 24,26,28 in a control circuit 20 is in an ON or OFF respectively. If power is removed from circuit 20, the latch acts to store the state of triac 18 prior to such removal so that this state is resumed when power is restored. The state of triac 18 is charged by momentary closure of a local or remote switch Pb or Pb'. When the latch is ON, triac 18 is triggered just after each zero crossing and a capacitor C1 charges via D8 and Q1 in that part of each positive half cycle before triac 18 turns ON. If the switch Pb or Pb' is closed transistor Q3 turns on to discharge C1 through reset coil 28 so that switch 24 turns off triac 18. A capacitor C2 then charges via D10 and Q2 which is turned off when the capacitor C2 voltage causes Zener diode D2 to conduct. Subsequent closure of switch Pb or Pb' causes capacitor C2 to discharge through set coil 26 so that switch 24 and triac 18 are turned ON. Transistors Q1 and Q2 are held off whenever a switch Pb or Pb' is closed to prevent charging of capacitors C1, C2 thereby preventing repeated switching of the latch circuit when Pb or Pb' are held closed. If two switches Pb, Pb' are successively closed in such a short time that capacitor C1 or C2 is not charged sufficiently to fully energise coil 26 or 28, switch 24 may become stuck between ON and OFF. In that event, a transistor Q4 provides a charging path for capacitor C2 so that switch 24 and triac 18 can subsequently be turned on. <IMAGE>

Title: A rotatable grate cooler for cooling of clinker or similar products
Inventor: BARRETO JOSE DE ARRUDA
IPC: F27B1/00
Filed: 1989-06-09
Abstract: A rotatable grate cooler for continuous and quick cooling of clinker or similar products, comprises of a hollow cylindrical shaped rotatable grate 3 which has a constant or regulated variable rotational movement about its longitudinal axis which is slightly inclined in relation to a horizontal plane. The external cylindrical surface of the rotatable grate has a plurality of slots 8 therein through which passes a constant flow of cold air from pressurized chambers 27. The axial length of the rotatable grate over which this occurs corresponds to the total width of the pressurized chambers. The clinker is introduced through an input duct 1 into the highest part of the internal cylindrical surface of the revolving grate and over cooling plates 8. The flow of pressurized cold air which passes through the slots of the cooling plates cools the clinker down quickly and the warm air produced thereby is conveyed by the input duct 1 to a heating system of e.g. a baking oven, for full use of its thermal energy in combustion. The cooled clinker, having reached a desired temperature, falls out of the rotatable grate gradually under gravity, through the cooling plate slots 8 (fine clinker) or at the final part of the rotatable grate through openings in classifier bars 15 or further, through a crusher 18 for larger particles retained by the bars and is collected by a cell conveyor 20 located beneath the cooler. The conveyor conveys the cooled clinker away for proper storage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A negative pressure booster (1) for a brake or clutch is provided with a variable orifice by which the area of the air passage (16) leading to variable pressure chamber (5b) on actuation of the booster, is initially gradually closed by element (23) as a valve plunger (18) moves forward and is subsequently gradually opened as the valve body (7) moves forward in relation to the valve plunger (18). …<??>As the result of the gradual closure of the variable orifice, most of the air flowing through the control valve (24) is introduced into the variable pressure chamber (6b) which is not throttled by a variable orifice and the pressure in this variable pressure chamber (6b) is rapidly increased. This causes the power piston (11) under the pressure in this variable pressure chamber (6b) to be quickly operated so that the rising output of the negative pressure booster (1) occurs more rapidly. …<??>In an alternative embodiment there are three variable pressure chambers and the air passage to two of these chambers has a variable orifice. …<IMAGE>…
