Title: Pipe-cleaning pull through
Inventor: BAGNALL GERARD
IPC: B08B9/043
Filed: 1983-06-08
Abstract: The pull-through comprises a first element 1, a second element 2, which is releasably engageable with the first element, and a magnetic propulsion unit 3 for the second element 2. The first element 1 comprises a pair of rubber discs 5,6 which are mounted on the ends of a central spindle 7 to sweep the pipe. The second element 2 is attached to a rope 24 by which the pull-through can be pulled through the main 4 and has a catch 32 at the other end to provide the releasable engagement with the rear end of the first element 1. The second element 2 also has a pair of diametrically opposed magnets 44 and 45 mounted on the peripheral surface of its body 25. These enable the second element 2 to be propelled along the main 4 towards the first element 1 when a hand-held magnetic propulsion unit 3 is moved along the external wall of the main 4 towards the first element 1. The magnet 49 in the unit 3 attracts one of those in the second element 2. When the second element 2 reaches the first element 1, the elements 1,2 engage enabling them to be pulled in the opposite direction by the rope 24 to clean out the main 4. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2150073-A (GB)
Title: Baler
Inventor: SPINDLER JOHN EDWARD
IPC: A01F15/14
Filed: 1983-11-25
Abstract: A baler for producing round bales has two twine dispensing tubes (1,1) mounted for pivoting motion across a bale-forming region about pivots (2,2) that are disposed substantially centrally of the bale-forming region. The tubes (1,1) in respective "start" positions extend from their pivots (2,2) towards opposite sides of the bale-forming region and are moveable from these "start" positions to "feed" positions in which end portions of the tubes are adjacent one another for commencing feed of twine, and thereafter are movable to return to their "start" positions to complete wrapping of twine around a completed bale. Each tube (1,1), in moving from its "feed" position to its "start" position, passes through a plane that contains the axes of the pivots (2,2) of the tubes, and that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bale being formed. By this action overlapping of turns of the twine at each end portion of the bale can be obtained in a unidirectional movement of each tube from its "feed" position to its "start" position. <IMAGE>

Title: Disposal of radioactive waste material to sea
Inventor: BURTON WILLIAM ROBERT
IPC: G21F9/26
Filed: 1984-12-13
Abstract: Radioactive waste liquid of a low or intermediate activity level is mixed with a suitable particulate material and discharged under the sea from a pipeline. The particulate material is chosen so that it sorbs radio-nuclides from this waste, has a good retention for these nuclides when immersed in sea water, and has a particle size or density such that transfer of the particles back to the shore by naturally occurring phenomena is reduced. Radio nuclide concentration in the sea water at the end of the pipeline may also be reduced. The particulate material used may be preformed or co-precipitated in the waste. Suitable materials are oxides or hydroxides of iron or manganese or material obtained from the sea-bed.

Title: Mercury vapour laser
Inventor: KING TERENCE ALAN
IPC: H01S3/05
Filed: 1986-08-06
Abstract: A CW mercury vapour laser comprises a planar envelope 33 containing mercury vapour and nitrogen gas with at least one mercury arc lamp 41 optically coupled to a surface of the envelope and at least two substantially parallel opposed mirrors placed at opposed ends of the planar envelope for folding the laser light. The planar envelope may be a slab comprising a hollow volume or the optical paths may be within tubes arranged in a plane and either discrete or bored out of a block of transparent material such as glass. In one arrangement mercury arc lamps 41 are coupled to both surfaces of the slab envelope. The invention allows good optical coupling to be made: the slab envelope can be made thin, of the order of a few mm, to allow efficient penetration of the resonance pump line. Optical coupling of the light sources to the laser envelope is provided by placing each lamp at the centre of curvature of a cylindrical reflector 43. Imaging of the lamps into the laser envelope can be prevented by providing subsidiary reflectors 44 on the surfaces of the cylindrical reflectors diametrically opposed to the slab. Cooling of the lamps and laser cell may be provided, for example, by water of forced air cooling. <IMAGE>
