Title: Optical fibre cable
IPC: B29D11/00
Filed: 1986-09-26
Abstract: An optical fibre cable element (3A) for incorporation in an optical fibre cable (Fig. 4) for e.g. local area networks, comprises a plurality of optical fibres (3) held together solely by an adhesive which has been applied cold and air-dried. A suitable adhesive material is a solvent-based acrylic copolymer system. Preferably the shape of the cable element is a ribbon, but other constructions are also envisaged.

Title: Method and apparatus for closing cartons
IPC: B65G47/244
Filed: 1989-11-15
Abstract: An apparatus for closing lidded cartons (9) has a turning station (36) including a flightless horizontal conveyor, and a chain conveyor (80) which extends along one side of the flightless conveyor (44) and has light restraint members (86) pivotally mounted on its links (84). The chain conveyor (80) is moved in the same direction as the horizontal conveyor, but at a slower speed.

Title: Armature movement detection circuit
IPC: G01R31/72
Filed: 1991-02-09
Abstract: A solenoid valve includes a monitoring circuit adapted to sense the current drop that occurs through the solenoid coil (1) when the solenoid armature moves correctly, sensing of the drop being used to cause a neon (11) to glow continuously so as to indicate correct operation of the solenoid. If the drop is not sensed, the neon (11) is caused to blink so as to indicate incorrect operation of the solenoid. The circuit may in addition or alternatively be arranged to generate a voltage signal (12), upon correct operation of the solenoid, for transmission to a remotely located programmable logic controller used to control operation of the valve and like valves that form part of a pneumatically controlled machine. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1991-05-24
Abstract: A nozzle and valve assembly (100) comprises a cylinder (102) having an open end and a piston (104) having a conical deflecting surface (140) on its lower end. A first supply pipe (114) is connected to the interior of cylinder (102) through an aperture (110) in its wall. A second supply pipe (120) is connected through a bore (119) formed in the wall of the cylinder (102) to an inwardly directed orifice (130) positioned at the bottom of the cylinder (102). In use, with the piston (104) in a raised position, a solid product is supplied through the first supply pipe (114) and discharged through the open end of the cylinder (102) into a container. The piston (104) is lowered, thereby closing off the aperture (110) in its wall and hence the first supply pipe (114), until its lower end is level with the inwardly directed orifice (130). Liquid is then supplied through the second supply pipe (120). The liquid washes away any solid on the conical deflecting surface (140) and is formed by the conical deflecting surface into a smooth slow flowing column of liquid. <IMAGE>
