Patent GB-2093793-A (GB)
Title: Plastics containers
IPC: B65D1/40
Filed: 1982-02-26
Abstract: A moulded plastics container has a side wall (1), a base wall (2) and a peripheral flange (3), the base wall (2) having projections (6) depending from therefrom in spaced concentric closed figures around its centre, the thickness of the base wall being reduced in the region of the projections. When the container is filled, the base wall bulges downwardly, the projections contact the supporting surface on which the container is standing, and the thinner region of the base wall bends to maximise that contact and so provide additional frictional grip on the supporting surface. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of making silica yarn
IPC: D06M23/00
Filed: 1982-03-11
Abstract: Leachable glass yarn is formed into a loose fabric to facilitate conversion thereof into silica yarn by acid leaching, washing and firing. A leachable glass yarn is knitted into a tubular fabric which is wound around a skeiner and severed to form skeins of the fabric. The skeins of fabric are tied and placed in porous bags which are in turn placed in a leaching tank. A heated acid solution is recirculated through the leaching tank to effect leaching of the skeins of fabric, following which water is circulated through the tank to wash the fabric. The skeins of leached and washed fabric are removed from the bags, dried in an oven, placed on a firing rack and fired in a furnace. Following firing, the skeins of fabric are cooled, immersed in a solution to form an abrasion resistant coating thereon, dried and then deknit into an essentially silica yarn which is wound onto a form.

Patent GB-2138178-A (GB)
Title: Controlling an adhesive laying machine
Inventor: MASSIE STEPHEN PAYL
IPC: B05C5/02
Filed: 1983-04-13
Abstract: An adhesive laying machine has a nozzle 10 through which a bead 12 of adhesive is extruded onto a surface 14. The viscosity of the adhesive can vary, and in order to ensure that a bead of uniform dimensions is laid, a viscosity-dependent parameter is sensed and the result is fed back to the machine operation which is then altered to bring the parameter back to a predetermined value. Either the speed of the nozzle is altered, keeping the pumping pressure through the nozzle constant, or vice versa. The viscosity-dependent parameter may be height of the bead, or its length in front of the nozzle, or the flow rate of adhesive through the nozzle. <IMAGE>

Title: Gear selection indicator in a multi-ratio transmission
Inventor: YOUNG ALASTAIR JOHN
IPC: F16H3/089
Filed: 1984-05-25
Abstract: The invention is concerned with an actuator position sensing system for use in a multi-ratio transmission comprising two actuators each movable between discrete positions to selectively engage one or more gear sets. Two selector rails 51 and 52 are each moved longitudinally of their own axes by means not shown to operate gear actuators (not shown) and thereby engage a corresponding gear set (not shown). Each selector rail is shown in a neutral condition. The diagram to the right of Fig. 2 indicates axial movement necessary to engage second or fourth gear for rail 51 and third and first for rail 52. Lever arm 53 couples movement of the selector rails to a position indicator 59. An operating arm of the position indicator takes up a unique position for any combination of the discrete positions of the selector rails 51 and 52 thereby providing an indication of which gear set or combination of gear sets is engaged. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2165420-A (GB)
Title: Data handling system
Inventor: WALSH WILLIAM ARTHUR GEORGE
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 1984-10-03
Abstract: In a telecommunications system in which much of the addressing information needed for call-setting is relatively complex, a directory storage unit (DSU) (which may be replicated in the interests of system integrity) is provided which serves the whole system which may include a number of exchanges (E1, E2,...). When a call which needs such information is to be made, the initial "dialling" by the calling subscriber sets up a connection (1) to the directory storage unit (DSU) as a result of which the appropriate addressing information is sent to the caller's terminal. At the caller's terminal it is stored temporarily, with protocol addition as necessary and the connection to the directory storage unit (DSU) is broken down. A new and separate connection (2) is now set up to the wanted line under control of the information from the directory storage unit. The connection set up may be between terminals other than the calling terminal. The information from the DSU, either explicit or in the form of directory pages, is displayed at the caller's terminal. A light pen or proceed key puts the information to work either immediately or booked for a specified time. The information from DSU may include a public key code for cryptography. <IMAGE>

Title: Monitoring perforation flow in a borehole
Inventor: WHITE DAVID B
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 1985-09-03
Abstract: A tool (10, 11) to be lowered down a borehole has a collar (13) with vanes (14) for sensing the transverse and torsional forces created by inflow at a perforation. The forces distort a bar (15) to which the collar (13) is attached by a spider (16) and strain gauges (18) provide corresponding signals. The total force on the collar provides an indication of the flow velocity through a perforation relative to the flow velocity up the well bore at that perforation. Other embodiments utilise rings of temperature or capacitance transducers around the tool to sense field distributions from which information as to flow velocity and species can be inferred. <IMAGE>
