Abstract: An absorbent structure designed for use in absorbent pads such as diapers is disclosed. According to a first aspect of the invention, absorbent pads are provided which comprise at least two layers of cellulosic fibers (fiuff) of different densities or average pore size ranges. When the absorbent structure is incorporated in a diaper, the lower density element extends to the full length and width dimensions of the normal absorbent component of the diaper. The higher density element lies beneath at least a portion of the lower density element. According to various embodiments of the present invention, it can run as a strip from the target zone to the back waist of a diaper, it can run along a central portion extending the whole length of the diaper, or it can underlie the entirety of the lower density element. The higher density element (or the element having a lower average pore size) wicks waste fluid from a lower central portion of the diaper, and thereby transports the fluid upwardly and also transfers it to the lower density element (or the element of greater average pore size). According to a second aspect of the invention, which may be incorporated with the first aspect just described, a portion of superabsorbent material is placed beneath the higher density layer, (or layer of lower average pore size), such that an additional reservoir for absorbing waste fluid is provided.

Abstract: The liquid gas tank on a marine tanker has a discharge valve operated by a pilot valve so that when pressure rises, the valve element of the main valve lifts, allowing gas to escape. In that condition, the pilot valve allows pressure to pass from inside the tank to the outlet connection. Also connected to the main valve are a number of valves in parallel, forming an alternative path so that in the event of a fire, the outlet connection is disconnected from the pressure supply. These valves are temp. responsive. Each valve has a side connection with the tank outlet connection, communicating with a chamber with a closed end and another end forming a seating for a valve element which is closed again by a spring when the temp. falls. This valve member is connected by a spindle to a temp. sensitive disphragm, the other side being in contact with a fluid filled chamber.

Abstract: The unit fuel injector has a pump piston driven at a constant stroke length, which pumps fuel at injection pressure to an injection nozzle as long as an electrically actuated overflow valve blocks the flow of the fuel flowing from the pump work chamber to a low-pressure chamber via an overflow conduit. The overflow valve is inserted between a first section which communicates continuously with the pump work chamber and a second section leading to the low-pressure chamber of the overflow conduit and is secured to a housing part laterally projecting from the pump housing. The first section of the overflow conduit comprises a connecting bore leading away from the pump work chamber, a control conduit controlled by the overflow valve, and a transverse conduit connecting these two. The transverse conduit extends from the housing side remote from the projecting housing part to the control conduit, crossing through the cylinder bore and in every stroke position of the pump piston is sealed off, without additional sealing means, by the jacket face of the pump piston. The unit fuel injector is particularly suitable for high-pressure injection in Diesel engines.

Abstract: A transducer includes a fiber optic coupler (10) having a variable coupling efficiency. The fiber optic coupler includes a first fiber (12a) and a second fiber (12b) and an interaction region in which light propagating in one of the fibers is transferred to the other fiber by evanescent field coupling such that introducing light into one of the fibers may cause light to be output from both fibers. Detectors (54, 56) detect the light output by the fibers and a ratiometer (58) produces an output proportional to the ratio of light intensity received by one of the detectors to the light intensity received by the other detector, the ratio being indicative of the coupling efficiency of the fiber optic coupler. The coupling efficiency varies in response to the relative position of the fibers, thereby providing a transducer for measuring displacement.

Abstract: A multichannel digital signal correlator or structurator receives pulses e.g. from a photo multiplier (1) and passes them through a standardiser into channels 1 to M. Each channel comprises a counter (5 m , m = 1 to M) and shift register (6 m ) together with a multiplier (7 m ) and accumulator (8 m ). 
     Clock pulses are applied to each counter (9) and shift register (6 m ) from a clock (4) through frequency dividers (9 m ) each set to different values giving increasing sample times (T s ) in successive channels. Each multiplier (7 m ) has one input to the first stage of its associated shift register (6 m ) and another input connected to the fourth stage of the shift register (6 m ). Thus the multipliers receive two inputs one delayed (by τ) with respect to the other input. Accumulators (10, 11) count the number of photomultiplier pulses and clock pulses respectively during an experimental run. 
     The correlator thus correlates two signals with increasing sample times (T s ) and increasing delays ( T ) in successive channels. A correlation function is obtained from the collective contents of all accumulators (8 m , 10, 11). 
     The multipliers (7 m ) may be replaced by difference squarer circuits to form a structurator.

Abstract: 5 A cathode ray display tube has a mild steel envelope part (10) with a tubular copper pump stem (20) sealingly attached thereto by friction welding. A method of attaching the pump stem involves forming the pump stem initially with a closed end, rotating the pump stem relative to and against the mild steel envelope part and applying pressure to cause friction welding of the pump stem, and thereafter extending the pump stem's bore through its closed end by drilling. A hole may simultaneously be drilled through the envelope part. The friction weld provides reliable vacuum-tightness and strength, and the attachment of the pump stem in this manner can be accomplished using automation quickly and inexpensively.

Abstract: Apparatus for automatically controlling aircraft descent to a computed descent flight path. At any point in the descent portion of flight, a path error signal is used to compute an incremental speed command (Δ M) that is algebraically summed (63) with a nominal descent speed command (M c ) to cause the aircraft to converge to, or maintain, the computed descent path. Means (53, 54, 55, 58, 60, 45) are provided to rate limit the algebraic addition of the incremental speed command so that the convergence rate to the path is virtually constant for a given path error and so that the relatively short term dynamics of accelerating and decelerating the aircraft which may cause oscillatory behaviour are avoided. The use of an incremental speed command permits a simplified control law over the prior art and permits the direct control of the minimum and maximum allowable speeds of the aircraft without the necessity of switching control laws or additional monitoring.

Abstract: The invention provides improvements in alpha-factor leader peptide-facilitated secretion of polypeptides from S. cerevisiae into culture media. Recombinant expression vectors suitable for transformation of S. cerevisiae are provided which encode a fusion polypeptide including the pre-pro-alpha-factor leader peptide, or modification thereof, and the heterologous polypeptide to be secreted. Culture of S. cerevisiae strains transformed with an expression vector of the invention leads to secretion to the culture medium of heterologous polypeptide of interest. Increased recoveries of certain polypeptides, such as GRF, which retain their biological activities, are obtained by modifying peptide-encoding DNA sequences on the expression vector to produce analog polypeptides which are less subject to proteolytic degradation or other activity-reducing modifications during and after secretion. a-strains of S. cerevisiae are provided which, upon transformation with an expression vector according to the invention, with a fused gene controlled by the alpha-factor promoter, followed by culturing, secrete heterologous polypeptide in an alpha-factor-mediated secretion process. Peptide recovery is also enhanced by employing as host for transformation a S. cerevisiae strain with impaired proteolytic function.
