Title: Method of shaping a wood surface and a wood surface produced by said method
Inventor: SCHEIWE PETER
IPC: B27M1/00
Filed: 1983-07-08
Abstract: The surface is so prepared by means of mechanical treatment that it has a fine-grooved structure. The treatment may comprise a shaping operation involving removal of material or one which does not involve material removal. This operation is preferably carried out at the same time as the operation whereby the wood surface is dressed.

Title: A green-emitting phosphor and a low pressure mercury vapor lamp employing this phosphor
Inventor: MURAKAMI KATSUO
IPC: C09K11/82
Filed: 1983-07-26
Abstract: A green-emitting phosphor for a low pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp has a monoclinic monazite-type crystal structure and comprises a phosphate of cerium, terbium, and possibly lanthanum, yttrium, gadolinium or lutetium. It is significantly different from green- emitting phosphors of the prior art in that it further comprises at least one element selected from the alkali metals, fluorine, indium, and boron. Because of the addition of these elements, the decrease in powder brightness of the present phosphor after heating in air at 600 DEG C (the temperature at which phosphors are heated during the baking step of lamp manufacture) is much less than for conventional green-emitting phosphors. The decrease in brightness of the present phosphor after irradiation by ultraviolet light at 185 nm is also much less than for conventional phosphors. It is accordingly most appropriate for use in discharge lamps. The low pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp using the present phosphor is of high efficiency and has excellent colour rendering.

Patent GB-2151815-A (GB)
Title: An electronic switching device fitted to boilers to save fuel
Inventor: JELLEY BERNARD JOSEPH
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1983-12-19
Abstract: When a boiler is cycling between the thermostat on/off temperatures a high proportion of the energy is wasted. The device provides a longer OFF period without a deterioration in space temperature. This results in a saving of fuel. When the thermostat calls for heat, capacitor C2 begins to charge and at a certain level of charge causes operation of relay RL1 to operate the heating device. The delay can be adjusted by means of VR1. <IMAGE>

Inventor: GROENEVELD WILBUR E
IPC: A01F15/07
Filed: 1984-07-05
Abstract: Apparatus is presented for slicing a large round bale into two parts prior to discharge from a baler 10. Slicing is accomplished by inserting a knife blade 60 into the bale forming chamber during or subsequent to the tying-off event while the bale rotates. The knife 60 is inserted between the belts (32, Fig. 2) which encircle the periphery of the baling chamber. The butt end of a more than two foot long knife blade 60 is secured to the center of a T-shaped crossbar 62. The knife can be moved to a neutral position by activation of the hydraulic cylinder 68 (see Fig. 2). Also disclosed is a baler in which a blade or cutting edge 80 extends laterally across the chamber to form a cylindrical or conical cut (Figs. 4, 5). The cuts provide for ventilation of the bale and/or insertion of an additive, preferably via the blade 80. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for reduction of SO2 emission for fossil fired boiler
Inventor: ABRAMS JACK A
IPC: B01D53/50
Filed: 1986-03-12
Abstract: Apparatus and method for the efficient and economic removal of sulfur dioxide from gases. In which the gas is contacted with neutralizing values obtained from pressure hydrated lime or pressure hydrated dolomitic lime, i.e. calcined limestone or dolomite and slaked with water under elevated temperature and pressure. The pressure hydrated lime or dolomitic lime may be used in conjunction with a wet scrubber, in a spray dryer or dry scrubber, or directly introduced into the gas passages of a boiler, upstream or downstream of the air preheater, or in the boiler output ducting or the inlet of an electrostatic precipitator. The use of pressure hydrated lime or pressure hydrated dolomitic lime greatly enhances the efficiency of sulfur dioxide removal, thereby providing for enhanced use of base values and a more rapid rate of reaction. The confined zone dispersion scheme permits a partial SO2 removal (10%-50%) without a scrubber, only by atomizing a slurry of pressure hydrated lime or pressure hydrated dolomitic lime into the flue gas duct of the boiler.

Title: Circuit arrangement with a high voltage switch
Inventor: BERGSTROM MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: H03K17/10
Filed: 1986-12-19
Abstract: A high voltage transistor (TR1) forms part of a line deflection circuit comprising a diode (D), a retrace capacitor (CR), a trace capacitor (CT) and a deflection coil (Ly) connected as shown. A switching signal for the base of transistor (TR1) is derived from a line frequency signal source (LO) via a driver stage (DR), a control device (DC) and a sensor (S). The sensor (S) senses the base current of transistor (TR1) and at switch-off a pulse is produced which is used to trigger a gated monostable multivibration (M) to its unstable stage, gating pulses for the monostable (M) being obtained from the signal source (LO). The output of the monostable (M) is applied to a first input of a phase comparator (PC) a second input of which receives pulses from the signal source (LO) delayed by a delay stage (DY). The output of the phase comparator (PC) is applied to the control input (C) of the control device (DC) to control a characteristic (e.g. time or amplitude) of the drive signal. In this way the switching of the transistor (TR1) is locked to the signal source (LO). <IMAGE>
