Title: Arrangement for controlling the flow of the pressure medium delivery of a hydrostatic pump
IPC: F04B49/00
Filed: 1971-12-29
Abstract: 1367910 Hydrostatic transmission control ZAHNRADFABRIK FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AG 29 Dec 1971 [23 Jan 1971] 60400/71 Heading F2D  A hydrostatic transmission having a variable delivery pump 3, adjustable by means of a pedal 5 (through linkage 8) which pedal also controls the prime mover 2, has a further control comprising a pedal 6 which, in the illustrated embodiment, adjusts the linkage 8 through a piston 13 in a cylinder 12 so that the degree of movement of the adjusting arm 4 can be varied for a specific position of pedal 5 (and adjustment of engine 2). This adjustment is due to an adjustable throttle 18 which, when operated by pedal 6 alters the pressure in line 20 from an auxiliary, feed, pump 16, to the cylinder 12, and so the piston 13 is moved. An alternative embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown) has a pressure regulator in place of throttle 18, and the line 20 may be replaced by a line entering the opposite side of the cylinder, a spring operating in the opposite direction to this control pressure. A further embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), has a multi position cylinder in the linkage between the pedal and the pump adjuster the slow speed pedal operating valves to alter its position, the maximum displacement of the pump being reduced in consequence. Pressure relief valves in the pump and motor circuit 10 are shown in Fig. 1. The slow speed pedal 6 also can cause hydrostatic braking by reduction of pump displacement, and can be designed to operate the services brakes also, on movement past the point where t provides its maximum hydrostatic braking.

Patent GB-2039182-A (GB)
Title: A method and an apparatus for generating waveforms
IPC: H04L27/12
Filed: 1978-12-13
Abstract: Sine waves are generated by connecting resistors of different chosen values successively into a circuit in response to timing signals thereby producing an output signal which is similar to a sine wave but changes in steps. The stepped output signal is then smoothed. By changing the frequency of the timing signals the frequency of the output signal can be changed to produce the different bits. By making the timing signal synchronous with the signals defining the beginnings and ends of the bits it can easily be ensured that there is always a whole number of sine waves in each bit. In a system in which bits are represented by sine waves of different periods (for example, 0 might be represented by a burst of sine waves of period lambda , whilst 1 is represented by a burst of sine waves, each of period  lambda /2), it is desirable that there always be a whole number of sine waves in the duration of each digit. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for the measurement of contact lenses
IPC: G01B11/255
Filed: 1980-01-08
Abstract: The radius of curvature of the base curve of a soft contact lens is measured by supporting the lens immersed in liquid on a transparent plane horizontal supporting surface of a transparent support member, with the lens resting on the supporting surface with it concave side facing vertically upwards. A beam of light is projected vertically through the support member and the lens on to a screen by means of an optical projection system capable of corming a sharply-focussed real image of the edge of the lens on the screen. The position of the optical system relatively to the support member is adjusted to a level such that a sharply- focussed real image of the circumferential edge of the base curve of the lens is formed on the screen, and the vertical distance of that position from a datum plane is measured. The diameter of the circumferential edge of the base curve is measured by reference to the projected image, and these measurements are utilised to derive the value of the radius of curvature of the base curve.

Title: Pilot operated control valve
IPC: F16K31/383
Filed: 1981-07-01
Abstract: A control valve for controlling fluid flow, comprising a pilot valve (19) which is operable by hand, thermostat, pressostate or otherwise and whose opening serves to reduce the pressure in a control chamber (18), which communicates with the control valve inlet side (2) through a partly closed opening containing a readily replaceable control member (29). The pressure in the control chamber (18) affects, through a diaphragm or bellows, the main valve 6 of the control valve which is increasingly opened when the pressure in the control chamber (18) decreases. The valve spindle (20) and the valve disc (21) of the pilot valve (19) and the control member (29) have a common axis and form a coherent unit during the entire controlling course, said parts being either interconnected or engaged with each other by the force of a pressure spring (31) interposed between the control member (29) and the valve spindle (5) of the main valve member. Thus, the valve characteristic of the control valve may be changed as desired by replacing just the valve disc (21) of the pilot valve, and the proportional band of the control valve may be changed merely by replacing the control member (29). <IMAGE>
