Title: Submergence detection for electro-acoustic transducers
Inventor: PRESTON NIGEL ASHLEY
IPC: G01S7/524
Filed: 1998-02-25
Abstract: A method of detecting actual or incipient submersion of an electro-acoustic transducer (2) facing downwardly toward a surface of fluent material to be sensed in a pulse-echo acoustic ranging system, the transducer having a skirt (6) surrounding a downwardly facing radiating surface (4) to maintain an air space beneath the radiating surface even under submergence conditions, and the transducer being electrically energised to emit pulses of acoustic energy from the radiating surface (4), the system processing an electrical output received from the transducer following a pulse by repeatedly sampling it to obtain a response profile. Samples from an initial portion of the transducer response, during a ring-down period following the transmit pulse, are summed so as to eliminate from the sum portions of each sample due to echo responses above a threshold determined on the basis of previous samples, and the sum is compared with a predetermined threshold to determine whether submergence is indicated.

Title: Method of etching a semiconductor device
Inventor: MITSUIKI AKIRA
IPC: H01L21/302
Filed: 1998-03-31
Abstract: In a process of etching a polysilicon layer 8a on a semiconductor substrate , e.g. to form a groove in a memory cell section and a gate in a peripheral circuit section, a Cl 2 /HBr-based gas is used in a first etching step, and this etching is performed using a resist 9 as a mask until polysilicon in the peripheral section is removed. Next, the gas is switched to a Cl 2 /HBr/O 2 -based gas to remove particulate resist film 23 which has accumulated in the groove. As a final step, the polysilicon remaining in the groove is etched with a HBr/O 2 -based gas.

Title: Guiding spin-stabilised projectiles
Inventor: SEIDEL DR WOLFGANG
IPC: F42B10/26
Filed: 1998-09-07
Abstract: A spin-stabilised artillery projectile (2) has an on-board guidance system to enable a target (12) even at long range (35 km) to be hit. Before firing the projectile (2) target definition data determined beforehand is pre-loaded. After firing the data is compared with the actual position of the projectile assessed using an on-board satellite navigation receiving system. Correction data from this comparison is then utilised to guide the projectile (2) to the target. Before reaching the guiding phase the projectile is converted from a spin-stabilised to a fin-stabilised flight state whereby the projectile can be aerodynamically controlled and guided by means of deployed fins (9). Spin braking means (7) can be locked to form stabilising surfaces.

Title: High security lock apparatus
Inventor: STARK ROBERT WILLIAM
IPC: E05B17/14
Filed: 1997-08-15
Abstract: A high security lock apparatus comprises a deadbolt lock (70) having a lock body (71) and a deadbolt (73) extendible therefrom. A lock body support (67) cooperates with the lock body (71) to permit relative movement therebetween and has a deadbolt clearance opening (81) therein to receive the deadbolt (73) when aligned therewith. A doorbolt is operatively connected to the lock body support (67) and mounted for movement with respect to a complementary doorbolt stop in response to said relative movement. A tool receiver (77) cooperates with the lock body support (67) and receives an alignment tool (101) to generate the said movement to align the deadbolt (73) with the deadbolt clearance opening (81) prior to extending the deadbolt (73). Preferably, the lock body (71) is journalled for rotation relative to the lock body support (67). The lock body support (67) preferably has an actuating arm (21, 22) extending therefrom and a doorbolt link extends from the actuating arm (21, 22) to the doorbolt to operatively connect them together to actuate the doorbolt. In this way, strength of the deadbolt itself does not effect overall strength of the high security lock apparatus.

Title: Needle blow nozzle and an air cooling process
Inventor: OMI YUZO
IPC: B29C49/60
Filed: 1999-09-27
Abstract: A blow nozzle 1 comprises a tubular body 4 with a needle 5 at its end, the tip 9 of the needle being located on the central axis of the tubular body. The needle 5 is formed with an umbrella-like shape, and has a plurality of nozzles 20 for blowing air into a parison in a blow moulding apparatus. The umbrella-like shape is provided by a number of elongate cutting areas 10 formed in an outer peripheral surface of the needle portion 5, which areas 10 have sloped edges 11 extending from the needle tip 9 at an acute angle. The shape of this needle reduces the resistance against insertion into the parison, and allows a large diameter blow nozzle to be used. Air can be supplied through an air cooling apparatus (figures 8 and 9) to rapidly cool the parison, whereby the moulding cycle time can be reduced. This is helped by circulating the cooled air through a circulating jig (200, figure 8), prior to injecting the needle 7 into the parison. Also disclosed and claimed is a driving mechanism for the nozzle, and blow moulded products having mouths (figures 10 and 11).

IPC: F02D13/04
Abstract: 10,914. Daimler-Motoren Ges. July 27, 1914, [Convention date]. Brakes, counter-pressure.-To brake an engine when descending a hill with fuel supply cut off, a separate valve is provided which allows the air compressed on one stroke to be released before it can expand. The valve 2, Fig. 1, is supported in a casing 6 open to the atmosphere, and during normal working is held closed by the extension 5 of a.screw 4, but when required for braking, is released to a variable extent, so that the air is expelled through a throttled opening. As shown in Fig. 2, the escape of air is controlled by a valve 8 upon the casing 6, and in the case of multicylinder engines, several casings 6 may be connected to the casing of a single valve adjusted by a screw. The braking-valve may be operated mechanically to produce a throttling effect during the compression stroke, and then at the end to release suddenly the remainder of the air in the cylinder. Slide valves may be used.

Title: Rotating disk data storage device
Inventor: BOUTAGHOU ZINE-EDDINE
IPC: G11B17/02
Filed: 1995-10-05
Abstract: A disk drive contains an integrally-formed one-piece hub, clamp and rotor housing, which is preferably injection-molded plastic. In the preferred embodiment, the hub includes a hollow cylindrical portion for surrounding a set of bearings mounted on a central shaft, and a flange portion extending from the middle of the cylinder and supporting a single disk. Compliant clamping fingers on the upper surface of the flange engage the disk through its central hole. The fingers are inclined slightly outward, and include a pawl at the end of each finger. During assembly, the disk is forced over the pawls of the fingers until they engage the disk. The fingers, being slightly elastic, will deform to permit the disk to slide over the pawls, and then return to lock the disk in place. The fingers automatically center the disk about the hub axis, without the need for centering tools. The hub also serves as a housing for the rotor of a spindle motor which rotates the disk. A back iron ring and permanent magnets are attached to the underside of the flange at its outer edge to form the rotor. An electromagnetic stator assembly surrounds the disk axis in the annular space defined by the flange, the permanent magnets and back iron at the outer edge, and the cylindrical portion of the hub at the inner edge.
