Patent EP-0388055-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RABONE JOHN THOMAS
IPC: E02D23/10
Filed: 1990-03-05
Abstract: Equipment (1) for carrying out underwater operations includes a submersible working chamber (2) at one end of an access shaft (3) and ballast weights (W) for adjusting the buoyancy of the equipment so that it can float freely with the chamber (2) submerged to a working depth and with the shaft upright and projecting above the surface. Divers can descend to the submerged working chamber (2) from the surface at atmospheric pressure through the access shaft (3) and a first hatchway closed by a pressure-resistant hatch (7), and can then pressurise the chamber (2) to the ambient hydrostatic pressure by actuating air supply means (9, 9A, 10, 11) so that they can enter and leave the water through a second hatchway closed by a pressure-resistant hatch (8). The divers can subsequently open a valve (12) to discharge the pressure in the chamber (2) in order to undergo decompression to atmospheric pressure in the working chamber before returning to the surface through the access shaft (3).

Abstract: Une pompe d'injection de carburant, notamment pour l'injection directe de carburant dans des moteurs à combustion interne à allumage piloté, comprend au moins une pompe qui génère un courant de carburant sous pression et un tiroir rotatif (2) qui se déplace synchroniquement à l'arbre moteur du moteur à combustion interne afin de relier le courant de carburant avec au moins un orifice d'injection (18) du moteur à combustion interne et/ou de dévier le courant de carburant soumis à la pression de la pompe vers un conduit de reflux (13). Le déplacement du tiroir rotatif (2) dans le sens de son axe de rotation (14) est limité ou le tiroir rotatif (2) est monté de manière à limiter sa rotation par rapport à son entraînement rotatif. De préférence, la position de rotation ou de déplacement du tiroir rotatif peut être déterminée en fonction d'un paramètre de fonctionnement du moteur à combustion interne. La mobilité axiale du tiroir rotatif (2) l'empêche de se coincer dans son guidage (3) et le réglage en fonction des paramètres de fonctionnement du moteur permet d'ajuster le moment de l'injection sur une plus grande plage angulaire qu'il ne serait possible normalement, étant donné les limitations géométriques de la structure du tiroir rotatif.

IPC: H01J9/20
Filed: 1991-07-18
Abstract: A process is described for the formation of an undercoat which is in turn useful in forming a CRT metal back layer. According to the process, a pretreatment composition is coated on a glass panel having a fluorescent layer overlaid thereon, so that a water film is formed. The pretreatment composition is composed-of 2-20 wt.% of an alkyl monoalcohol having a C 1  - 3  alkyl group, 0.05-1 wt.% of a water-soluble, high molecular compound and 79-97.95 wt.% of water. An undercoating composition is then coated on the water film by a wet-on-wet coating method, whereby a coating layer is formed. The undercoating composition is composed of 1-7 parts by weight of an acrylic resin, which has been obtained by polymerizing 90-100 wt.% of an alkyl methacrylate having a C, - 4 . alkyl group other than tert-butyl methacrylate and 0-10 wt.% of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable therewith, and 99-93 parts by weight of a solvent containing at least 80 wt.% of toluene. The sum of the acrylic resin and the solvent is 100 parts by weight. The water film and the coating layer are dried to form the undercoat.

Abstract: For supporting of formwork in constructing buildings, use is made of steel post shores (props) having a pin 15 with recessed areas thereon. When the prop has to be brought from the loaded to the unloaded position, such pin is changed of position in the prop so as to allow the inner tube to be lowered within the outer tube of the prop. 
The invention provides a new pin-design such that after assembling the prop it can be clearly seen wether the pin finds itself in the correct position or not. 
For that purpose, use is made of a pin (15) having a recess (27) and a flattened portion (29); by axial displacement of the pin this portion rests (in fig.2,10) on ring (12) or on inner tube (3) under changing its angular position, which is well visible for the user. Alternativily the cylindrical pin (35) of fig. 4 has two cams (39, 41) resting on ring 12; by axially displacing this pin, it will rotate over 90° and the inner tube (3) will be lowered in the outer tube (1), which position is clearly visible for the user.

Abstract: An artificial energy-storing foot has a keel (12) having a lower spring portion (12B) connected at its posterior end as a cantilever to an upper mounting portion (12A). These two portions may be formed as single carbon fibre reinforced plastics moulding or individually as part of a two-piece keel with the ankle mounting portion rigid and the spring portion as a simple fibre reinforced strip. The resilience of the foot is adjustable by means of a removable resilient buffer element (27) mounted ahead of the ankle centre as a course adjustment device and, optionally, by means of a transversely extending support bar (28) which can be moved longitudinally behind the ankle centre by rotating an adjusting screw (30). Both the buffer (27) and the support bar (28) are mounted between the ankle mounting portion (12A) of the keel and the lower spring portion (12B). A resilient ankle joint (13) may be secured to the ankle mounting portion (12A), the joint comprising a ball and socket assembly with resilient elements (48, 54) arranged to allow plantar flexion of the joint but substantially to prevent dorsi-flexion.
