Title: Anticorrosive treatment process for braided cables and drive system
Inventor: REYES FERNANDEZ JUAN
IPC: D07B1/16
Filed: 1995-11-30
Abstract: The anticorrosive treatement process for braided cables and drive system comprises, starting from a braided cable with a layer of residual zinc originating from the zinc deposition or galvanisation of the wire which has subsequently been drawn and braided although this layer remaining in the threads or filaments of the cable is very thin, without deposition of metal or organic or synthetic resin, etc. in order to obtain a final product having a high grade of resistance to corrosion without alteration of the mechanical behaviour. This process comprises the following steps: degreasing, dripping, washing, neutralisation, chromatization, dripping and washing, sealing, dripping and drying; the second washing can be eliminated and, in certain cases it can be proceeded subsequently to a last lubrication step. The drive system is based on independent variable and self-controllable motors, each connected to a reel at each step of the process. The system comprises for each motor an assembly consisting of an arm, a counterweight and an analog sensor for the speed regulation of the motor when the tension of the cable varies.

Title: Reel driving device for VCR
Inventor: AHN SEONG-ICK
IPC: G11B15/26
Filed: 1996-11-29
Abstract: A take-up reel 50 is driven by a reel gear 54 through symmetrically arranged frictional felts 57. The felts 57 act between the reel gear 54 and a reel base 59 having a shaft 52 interference-fitted to the reel 50. A coil spring 55 urges the reel base 59 and reel gear 54 together, but as the weight of tape on the reel 50 increases the effect of the spring is countered to allow slippage between the reel gear 54 and reel base 59. Thus the travelling speed of the tape is kept constant despite the growing radius of the tape coil on the reel 50. The supply reel assembly 60-69 has a similar construction, and drive is switched between the reels by moving an idler gear between positions 74a and 74b.

Title: Painted plastics coated articles
Inventor: EASTERLOW RONALD ARTHUR
IPC: C08J7/043
Filed: 1997-07-07
Abstract: A painted plastics article in the form of a vehicle Wing 11 comprises a polyolefin (e.g polypropylene) substrate 11 coated with a polyamide or polyester coating 18. The coating makes the wing suitable for subsequent painting which may be carried out on a normal vehicle paint line used to paint a metal 5 body-in-white. To promote adhesion between the substrate and the coating, the substrate includes an admixture of a compatibiliser which increases adhesion between the substrate and the coating. The compatibiliser may be maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene when the substrate is a polypropylene. When the coating is a polyester, the compatibiliser may also include a random copolymer of ethylene and glicidyl methacrylate, either alone or with a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene. The article may be manufactured by a dual-injection-moulding process or by a blow-moulding process.

Inventor: NAKAO YASUHIRO
IPC: C22C47/06
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a metal-ceramic composite material by permeating a porous body 6 of oxide ceramic with magnesium vapour, introducing nitrogen gas thus generating magnesium nitride which reduces the oxide ceramic to expose metal atoms (and thus enhance its wettability) and then permeating the body 6 with molten metal either under a pressure different from atmospheric pressure or under alternate pressures lower and higher than atmospheric pressure.

Title: Earth moving apparatus
Inventor: SHAW SIMON JEFFREY WILLIAM
IPC: E02F3/38
Filed: 1998-12-16
Abstract: An earth moving apparatus 10 comprises a rotatably carried body 15 including an operator's cab 18 positioned at a first side and an engine 39 in a compartment 38, orientated longitudinally, at a second opposite side, a working arm 21 at a first end carrying an implement 30 and a counterweight 44 at a second end. The engine compartment may be covered with one or more shaped body panels (S1,S2 Fig.3) which curve downward from a maximum height at the seated operator's position to or adjacent to a front corner extremity of the body. The counterweight may be an integral part of the body to comprise part of a wall structure 41. The operating functions can be powered by hydraulic fluid provided by a single variable displacement hydraulic pump 43 via control means, said pump preferably positioned between the engine and a first end of the apparatus. Pressurised hydraulic fluid may supply actuator means to operate a working arm and/or an implement relative to said arm and/or transmission to operate ground propulsion means and/or means to rotate the body relative to a base about an upright axis. An up/down actuated earth moving plough 35 powered by hydraulic pressure may be provided. The working arm may comprise a boom 22 and dipper 24 and ground propulsion can be by a pair of tracks 36, whereby the edges of said tracks define the width of the base and also of the apparatus. By mounting a cab and engine "side by side" the specified apparatus aims to provide space for a longer, larger cab than with a rear mounted engine and sloped body panels to give improved visual range over the frontal area.

Title: Aerosol sampling filter
Inventor: GORBUNOV BORIS ZACHAR
IPC: G01N15/02
Filed: 1999-03-17
Abstract: A sampler for collecting aerosol particles from a flow of gas comprises a plurality of collection regions 6 and 9 of a porous medium, such that particles of different sizes are collected at different regions. The porous media may be positioned substantially perpendicular 6 or parallel 9 to the flow of gas, or on the internal surface (15, Fig 6). The porous medium is preferably a net (e.g. Nylon) or a capillary. The net may be a composite of two or more nets, and the net adjacent the inlet may have larger gaps between its fibres than that at the outlet. The collection regions may be divisible into removable regions. The inlet 2 may be size selective and include a variable diameter aperture to control the rate of flow of gas. The sampler may include a particle detector (17, Fig 7) such as a cascade detector through which the flow of gas is directed. The different collection regions may be analysed individually by deconvolution to determine the size distribution of the particles in the gas. The sampler may be operated in a stop-flow technique and the sampler with parallel collection regions may be used at an angle (Fig 5).
