Title: Outriggers for use in stabilizing load transfer mechanisms
IPC: B60P1/64
Filed: 1972-12-15
Abstract: 1418300 Stabilizers CLARK EQUIPMENT CO 15 Dec 1972 [31 Jan 1971] 57962/72 Heading B7J A load handling vehicle 10 adapted to lift a load located at one side thereof has an outrigger 14 comprising a pair of telescoping longitudinal members 20 and 32 pivotally mounted thereon (at a journal member 27) and a bracket 34 movable longitudinally with respect to the outrigger 14, the bracket having a cam slot 40 at an angle to the longitudinal direction of the outrigger engaging a guiding slide member 42 fixed on the vehicle structure 58 so as to pivot the outrigger downwardly on such movement of the bracket 34. The outrigger 14 is extended by a piston-and-cylinder actuator 36 and a further piston-and-cylinder actuator 38 moves the bracket 34 along a track formed on the top of the outer telescopic member 20. As shown in Figs. 6, 6A, the inner telescopic member 32 is a square box shaped beam in section, having slots 37 at the end inside member 20 so that the end portion of lower plate 32b can flex to distribute stress which is transmitted between members 20 and 32. The vehicle 10 has a pair of outriggers 14, 16 and 12, 18 on each side thereof, each pair having a common foot plate 35, 50, Fig. 7. The outriggers 12, 14, 16 and 18 are pivoted at journal members 25 and 27 which also pivotally mount upright load manipulating actuators 26a, 26b, 28 and 30, Fig. 2.

Title: Photoresponsive devices and encoders
IPC: H03M1/00
Filed: 1971-12-14
Abstract: 1380908 Photo-detector circuits D H BALDWIN CO 14 Dec 1971 58097/71 Heading G 1 A [ Also in Division H3] A photo-responsive transistor circuit for a digital displacement or position encoder contains a silicon photo-diode 14A whose output plus a bias voltage is sufficient to turn on a transistor 74A, there being temperature responsive biasing circuits for transistor 74A to compensate for variations in the behaviour of diode 14A and transistor 74A with temperature. Fig. 3 shows a circuit for a disc position encoder having four opaque/ transparent tracks Fig. 4 (not shown) read by four silicon photo-diodes 14A-14D connected on one side to a common bias supplied by the emittercollector potential of transistor 40 and on the other side to respective switching transistors 74A-74D. Transistors 78A-78D amplify signals from transistors 74A-74D appearing across load resistors 36 to provide outputs at 80A-80D. Transistor 40 has similar temperature characteristics to transistors 74A-74D to provide partial temperature compensation. But in addition a common temperature responsive bias is supplied to the bases of transistors 74A-74D via resistors 76 from transistor 84 parallelled by thermistor 96. Also amplifier transistors are temperature compensated by a common transistor 83 acting as a diode. The outputs 80A-80D may be interrogated simultaneously or sequentially in the manner of Specification. Specification 1369799 is referred to.
Patent GB-1385890-A (GB)
Title: Arrangement for correcting of seconds indication of a timepiece
IPC: G04G5/02
Filed: 1971-12-16
Abstract: 1385890 Electronic timepieces SOC SUISSE POUR L'INDUSTRIE HORLOGERE MANAGEMENT SERVICES S A 24 Nov 1972 [16 Dec 1971] 58470/71 Heading G3T Relates to a seconds setting/correcting arrangement in an electronic timepiece comprising a crystal controlled oscillator followed by a frequency divider counter chain including stages 14, 15 (Fig. 1) the output of which is applied to a time display via a bi-stable flip-flop CM. The display may comprise hands driven by a stepping motor M or alternatively be of liquid crystal or solid state type. Each time a switch P 1  is depressed one second is added and each time P2 is depressed one second is blocked from the time display.  Depression of P 1  results in a reset output Q from a bi-stable storage device 16 which causes subsequently an additional setting of flip-flop CM and therefore an additional pulse from the output Q of CM and an additional advance of 1 second in the display. The pulse duration of the output pulses from CM is determined by reset pulses at R derived for example from the eighth stage of the divider, and their timing and frequency by set inputs S 1  S 2 . Input S 2  will normally have no effect so long as P 1  is not depressed to set storage device 16. When P 2  is depressed a bi-stable storage device 17 is set so that its output Q = 1. Thus a transistor T 1  will conduct bringing a point B to O. At the moment the next input S 1  arrives at CM the output Q CM  changes to 1 and Q CM  changes to O. However B remains at O since change of Q CM  from 1 to 0 will not change the state of device 17 and a pulse from CM output Q is thus suppressed. The next reset pulse R to CM returns it to its reset state where Q CM  = 1 and storage device 17 is thereby reset. T 1  will therefore be cut-off until P 2  is again depressed, only one drive pulse having been eliminated.

Patent GB-2017067-A (GB)
Title: Deuterium isotope separation
IPC: C01B4/00
Filed: 1979-02-21
Abstract: Deuterium-containing molecules are separated and enriched by exposing commercially available ethylene, vinyl chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane or propylene to the radiation of tuned infrared lasers to selectively decompose these compounds into enriched molecular products containing deuterium atoms. The deuterium containing molecules can be easily separated from the starting material by absorption, distillation or other simple chemical separation techniques and methods. After evaporation such deuterium containing molecules can be burned to form water with an enriched deuterium content or pyrolyzed to form hydrogen gas with an enriched deuterium content. The present invention results in obtaining amounts of deuterium or heavy water as a valuable by-product from commercial chemical processes, and avoids the bulky equipment and large materials handling problems involved or multi-stage equilibrium partition methods.
