Patent GB-2171497-A (GB)
Title: Solenoid valve
Inventor: ABE TATSUHIKO
IPC: F02M51/00
Filed: 1986-01-17
Abstract: A solenoid valve (1), to adjust the fuel injection of a distribution pump of an i.c. engine, has a valve member (11) slidably guided by a guide hole (13) and an insulation layer (15) formed on a sliding surface (11b) of the valve member (11) by a physical evaporation method so as to form a switch to indicate the valve state which achieves the ON state when the valve member is seated on a valve seat (16). Large diameter portions (13a, 13b) are formed in the guide hole (13) so as to face edge portions of the sliding surface of the valve member in order to prevent the edge portions (11e, 11f) from coming in contact with the guide surface of the guide hole (13) while the valve member (11) slidably moves in said guide hole. Thus, even if the insulation layer (15) is imperfect at its end portions, the valve member (11) is still prevented from being electrically connected through the edge portions with casing (12) during the movement of the valve member. <IMAGE>

Title: Fluid flow measurement
Inventor: JACKSON PETER
IPC: G01P5/00
Filed: 1988-07-06
Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining the rate of flow of a fluid stream in an open channel by a dilution flow technique (sudden-injection, total count method) using a radioactive isotope which is conveniently a caesium 137 long half-life parent with a short half-life barium 137 daughter. The method is an improvement to known methods particularly in its susceptibility to computer (15) control. Clean water is activated (11) with the isotope and the radioactivity measured (1) twice in succession to determine half-life. If acceptably short (i.e. daughter only), the activated water is injected (14) into the stream (4). A pump (5) takes a sample downstream and its radioactivity is measured (1), to determine flow rate by comparing relative values from injected and sampled material.   <IMAGE>

Title: Liquid distillation apparatus
Inventor: KI LEUNG SUI
IPC: B01D3/34
Filed: 1988-12-22
Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for distilling a liquid, particularly water, which apparatus comprises an evaporation chamber 1 and a condensation chamber 2 linked by two passages 3, 4 so as to form a circuit. Parallel with this circuit is a refrigerant circuit 20 containing liquid refrigerant, which refrigerant circuit 20 runs through both the evaporation chamber 1 and the condensation chamber 2. Liquid refrigerant is compressed by a compressor 21 within the refrigerant circuit 20 and passes into the part of the refrigerant circuit 20 contained within the evaporation chamber 1 so as to heat unpurified water contained therein. Air is circulated around the circuit thus carrying water vapour produced in the evaporation chamber 1 to the condensation chamber 2. The liquid refrigerant, cooled by passing heat into the liquid within the evaporation chamber 1 passes around the refrigerant circuit 20 to that part of the refrigerant circuit 20 contained within the condensation chamber 2 wherein heat is passed from the water vapour therein back to the liquid refrigerant, thus condensing the water vapour to give substantially pure water. <IMAGE>
