Patent GB-0028385-D0 (GB)
Title: Torque sensing apparatus and method
IPC: G01L3/10
Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: A torque sensor (8) comprising a shaft of magnetostrictive material; a pair of magnets (10, 12) having oppositely sensed poles (11, 13) positioned circumferentially around the shaft so as to induce a localised magnetic field in the shaft between the poles. A torque (38) applied to the shaft is sensed by a flux detector (18) positioned circumferentially between the magnet poles (11, 13) so as to detect a component of the localised magnetic field which escapes from the shaft as a result of the torque (38). With this design, there is no need to permanently magnetise the shaft or a collar attached to the shaft, as in the prior art. The prior art manufacturing step of permanently magnetising the collar or its shaft is also thus eliminated, greatly simplifying the manufacturing. <IMAGE>

Title: Valve seat
IPC: E21B23/08
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: A ball valve seat (10) is disclosed which provides a temporary seal for a plug (40). The valve seat comprises a substantially cylindrical body (30) of a first volume, which defines a seating surface (34). A pressure differential is developed across the valve seat when the plug sealingly engages the seating surface. The body is formed of an elastic material which compresses from a first volume to a smaller second volume by application of a force on the plug, to provide a clearance which is greater than a plugging dimension of the plug, thus allowing passage of the plug downstream. After passage of the plug, the body returns to the first volume.

Title: Door safety mechanism
Filed: 2007-09-20
Abstract: The mechanism includes a board 20, an arm rotatably attached at a first end 26 to board 20 by pivot 28. A door arresting wedge 25 attached perpendicularly to the other end of the arm 26 away from pivot 28. At least one magnet 49 disposed on the board 20 for attracting arm 26. At least one magnet 30 disposed on an edge of the arm, and at least one stopper means to limit the rotation of the arm 37, 46, 48. When a door is shut is excessive force the centrifugal force causes arm 26 to swing outward and extend beyond the periphery of the door edge and engages the door frame preventing the door from fully closing; thus avoiding injuries from trapped hands or fingers. Stopper 37 may be adjustable to alter the centrifugal force required to overcome the grip of the stopper. A flexible buffer (72, fig.3C, 3D) may be provided which automatically urges the door arresting projection 25 back to its initial retracted starting position. A second door arrestor may be provided retained in initial retracted position by engagement with the first door arrestor and urged into an extended position by a spring (figure 4A, 4B). The anti-slamming device may be mounted on the surface of a door or within the door, particularly within a vehicle door.

Patent GB-0816252-D0 (GB)
Title: Air intake porting for a two stroke engine
Filed: 2007-03-01
Abstract: A two stroke engine of a particular configuration can have its power output increased by running bigger pistons and using ports in the piston skirt through which to conduct compressed air within the skirt through short passages in the cylinder housing that conduct the air from within the skirt to above the piston. As a result a larger piston can be used for the same spacing and opening size in the block to save the need to redesign the block and the crankshaft. A position adjuster for the piston moves it axially without rotation of the piston ports out of alignment with inlet ports in the housing. The piston rod is held in the crosshead using a flat to prevent rotation while an adjuster nut that is turned creates axial movement in the piston rod with a lock nut securing the final piston position.

Title: Measuring apparatus

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US86/02557 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 9, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 9, 1991 PCT Filed Nov. 26, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO87/03361 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 4, 1987.A tape rule or other displacement measuring apparatus comprises a reader means and a member that are relatively movable. The member carries a position track defined by a sequence of alternative markings made in succession along the member. The alternative markings record different values in a pseudo-random sequence which is the result of repetitive operations on a seed consisting of a small number of elements. The sequence has the property that a group of successive markings of length at least equal to that of the seed occurs at a single position in the sequence so that a succession of markings read from the track and of length at least equal to the seed defines an absolute position of the reading means and the member. The reading means has at least three sensors arranged to respond to different locations within each marking with the pattern of the markings and the location of the sensors arranged so that only a single sensor changes state each time that the member moves through an interval of displacement relatively to the sensing means. The states occur consecutively in alternative sequences along the member that are recognizable by decoding logic fed with successive states as a logical value corresponding to one of the alternative markings depending upon which sequence has been followed.

Patent GB-9106675-D0 (GB)
Title: Data networks
IPC: H04L12/22
Filed: 1991-03-28
Abstract: A ring data network (such as a token ring network) is divided by a security unit (1) into first and second segments (6 and 8). The second segment (8) typically corresponds to one security group in the network. Logic in the security unit reads appropriate parts of each frame (typically the two address segments) to determine whether it is appropriate to forward the frame to the next segment of the ring. If the frame does not need to go to the next segment, or is not authorized to do so, then the security unit forwards instead a modified form of the frame in which its data cannot be read (except possibly by the security unit itself). In most cases the data content of the frame will be stored in the security unit. When the modified frame returns to the security unit at its second input port (4), the original frame can (if appropriate) be reconstructed, typically by reading its data content from a store in the security unit. In this way, the frame is returned to the secure group at the same time and in the same form as if it had travelled around the first segment of the ring, but there is no opportunity for stations in the first segment to eavesdrop upon the frame.
