Title: I.c. engine cylinder exhaust discharge control.
Inventor: MATTIN PETER RUSSELL
IPC: F02D13/02
Filed: 1993-02-26
Abstract: A first shutter 16 is movable in the exhaust passage to control the stroke position at which communication between the cylinder 11 and the exhaust passage through the exhaust port 15 commences at the end of the expansion stroke and/or the stroke position at which the exhaust passage is sealed off from the cylinder at the beginning of the compression stroke. A second shutter 17 is movable to vary the area of the exhaust port 15 and thereby constrain the flow of fluid from the cylinder 11. The second shutter is controlled to vary the effective area of the exhaust port in accordance with engine speed and/ or load and/or temperature. The first shutter may be oscillated in timed relationship with piston reciprocation and its angle of oscillation controlled by a controller common to the second shutter. The second shutter may comprise two shutters members (101, 102, Fig. 4) movable towards and away from each other from the sides of the exhaust port (115). <IMAGE>

Title: Security shutter assemblies and laths for them
Inventor: COOPER GEORGE A
IPC: E06B9/58
Filed: 1993-03-08
Abstract: A shutter assembly (1) has a plurality of laths (22) which extend between a pair of vertically extending side channels (5, 6) disposed to either side of a doorway, window (7) or the like. A number of the laths (28) are strengthened and are hollow box sections through which a pair of wire cables (29) extend. The wire cables (29) are anchored to retention members which can move vertically in the side channels (5, 6). The remaining laths (26) have wind locks (27) at their ends which are located in and are moveable in the side channels (5, 6). The wire strengthened laths (28) are alternately interlaced with the remaining laths (26). The wire cables (29) give additional strength to the strengthened laths (28) and are sufficiently strong to withstand a heavy blow to the shutter assembly (1) in the vicinity of the strengthened laths (28), extending with the blow and thereby absorbing energy rather than breaking. <IMAGE>

Title: Voltage regulating transformer
Inventor: FANOUSE AZIZ FAWZY MEKAIEL
IPC: H01F29/02
Filed: 1994-08-05
Abstract: In a known voltage regulating (auto)transformer (Fig 2) the supply voltage is applied at 3, 4 and a large cross-section copper wire winding L1, L3 is tapped H to provide a constant voltage across a load L. To reduce the amount of copper, L3 is replaced by a winding L3, Fig 1, of small cross-section and switches S1, S2 enable the transformer to accommodate variations below and above nominal voltage on terminals 3, 4. As shown, when the supply voltage is low, the tap starts at the lower end of L1 and can be moved up as the voltage increases until the full supply voltage is applied across the load when nominal voltage is reached. Above nominal, S1, S2 are actuated to engage contacts 1' and 2' so that the windings act as a potential divider for the load. Other arrangements involve the winding L1 being divided into sections, either each associated (Fig 5) with a relay to short-circuit the respective section or (Fig 6) with a respective secondary winding which can be switched to short-circuit or reverse phase the winding. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2322945-A (GB)
Title: A power supply for an electrical appliance control
Inventor: ARROWSMITH COLIN
IPC: H02M3/155
Filed: 1997-03-08
Abstract: A power supply is arranged to generate less heat, by producing an intermediate value (+30 volts) direct voltage from the mains supply, generating oscillations from it which are used to chop the direct voltage, smoothing the chopped voltage with an inductor (11) and using the back emf comprising current spikes appearing upstream of the inductor (11) by flywheel effects during the zero voltage intervals in the chopped supply. The current spikes are supplied to a reservoir capacitor (16) downstream of the inductor (11) in order to supplement that supplied through the inductor (11). A further supply (-24 volts) is derived by shunt zeners (42) which normally dissipate substantial heat but which are bypassed by means of a triac (48) when the further supply is unwanted, eg temporarily while a thermo-switch is operative. The heat dissipated is then only that developed in a resistor (49) in the feed to the triac (48).
