Patent GB-2143581-A (GB)
Title: Fuel injection nozzles
Inventor: GASKELL DAVID JOHN
IPC: F02M61/10
Filed: 1984-06-25
Abstract: A valve member 17 which is slidable within a bore to control fuel flow through an outlet has fuel under pressure from an inlet passage 24 supplied to bore enlargement 14 to act upon the valve member to lift the valve member against spring force. Fuel can flow to the enlargement by way of two flow paths the first of which includes a groove 28 on the valve member and a first port 26 in the wall of the bore. The port 26 is positioned so that increasing restriction to the flow of fuel to the outlet occurs as the valve member lifts. The second flow path includes the groove 28 and a second port 29 which opens to the groove after a predetermined movement of the valve member. The initial movement of the valve member under the action of increasing fuel pressure at the inlet is thus controlled. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2171019-A (GB)
Title: Impaction indicator
Inventor: GREENWOOD JOHN KEITH
IPC: F41J1/00
Filed: 1985-02-19
Abstract: An Indicator is arranged to indicate when an area has been impacted; the area capable of giving that indication being greater than the impacted area. The Indicator is primed by the application of external pressure on the transparent top 1 of an air-tight container which causes internal air pressure to contract and distort evenly spaced independent air-filled envelopes 3 causing them to reveal surfaces of a different colour and at the same time hiding surfaces of the original colour. When the air pressure is released by impaction the envelopes expand to regain their original shape and colour. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2156986-A (GB)
Title: Determining distance ultrasonically
Inventor: BREITKREUZ LUTZ
IPC: G01S15/32
Filed: 1985-03-29
Abstract: Ultrasonic signals continuously transmitted from a transmitter 9 at one of two preset transmission frequencies (transmission signals), are received by a receiver (12) and their travel time between transmitter 9 and receiver (12) is determined by a relay counter (17) and used to calculate the distance apart of two objects. Two different analogue frequency signals are applied to the input of the transmitter 9 at different times to produce a coded serial transmission signal having different frequencies for a "transmission" time and an "interval" time, these signals being switched over at precisely defined moments preferably zero crossings, one analogue frequency signal comprising coded information which can be recognised and evaluated by the receiver as the transmission signal. The transmitter 9 and receiver (12) are kept in a steady state during the transmission interval time by the other analogue frequency signal, avoiding build-up and decoy of oscillations in the transmitter and receiver. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2160196-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of optical components
Inventor: NOURSHARGH NOORALLAH
IPC: H01L21/268
Filed: 1985-06-10
Abstract: Optical components such as integrated optical components or components used for coupling or splicing optical fibres frequently have grooves formed in a substrate during one stage of manufacture. These are used either for depositing glass in the grooves to form waveguides or for aligning fibres. By using a laser beam to vaporise the substrate in accurately controlled patterns, such grooves may be formed easily and may be computer controlled for mass production and high speed.

Title: Indicating glide path direction of parachutes
Inventor: KIRBY-SMITH TREVOR
IPC: G01P13/02
Filed: 1985-10-17
Abstract: A device for use with parachutes comprises mounting means (14) attachable to a rigging line (12) of a parachute (10), an aerodynamic drag element (15) pivotally connected by an arm to the mounting means, the drag element taking up a line of flight parallel to the glide path of the main parachute, and means detecting the angle between the rigging line and the line of flight. The angle may be indicated visually by moving a fixed arm over a scale (14) or detected electrically by sensing the bending of a flexable arm. In the latter case velocity may also be measured. <IMAGE>

Title: Mounting arrangement for a drive unit in a vehicle
Inventor: GIEBEL FRANK
IPC: B60K5/12
Filed: 1986-08-29
Abstract: An arrangement is described for mounting a drive unit in a motor vehicle, the drive unit comprising an internal combustion engine and a transmission. The drive unit (1) is supported by a first pair of resilient mountings (13, 14) on an engine cross member (15) which is in turn supported on the vehicle bodywork by way of a second pair of resilient mountings (16, 17). The first resilient mountings (13, 14) lie on a first line (V1) extending transversely to the axis of the engine crankshaft, and the second resilient mountings (16, 17) lie on a second line (V2) inclined at an acute angle to the first line (V1) and to the axis (18) of the engine crankshaft. By virtue of this geometry, engine vibrations cause compression of the mountings (13, 14, 16 and 17), while torque reactions apply torsional stresses to the second resilient mountings (16, 17). <IMAGE>

Title: Lateral-offset arrangement for a digging machine knee
Inventor: SCHAEFF HANS
IPC: E02F3/38
Filed: 1986-09-18
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for laterally offsetting a knee (30) on a vehicle-mounted digging machine, or, as shown, on the rotatable superstructure of a mobile digging machine, in order to leave the knee on the extended longitudinal axis (74) of the vehicle for those digging jobs which most commonly arise, or to bring it, easily and quickly, into a laterally offset working position, (broken lines), or also into a limiting offset position, so as to slew the sub-assembly comprising a boom, a dipper arm and a digging tool to a transverse position and to fold it up. The knee (30) is articulated to the digging machine via two preferably parallel arms (22, 24), and can be shifted between limiting lateral-offset positions by means of a positioning drive (70), while being lockable in any intermediate position. In at least one limiting offset position, the knee (30) may be located within the line defining the lateral outline of the digging machine, or within an extension of this outline (Fig. 3). <IMAGE>

Inventor: HIRATA TADASHI
IPC: B23D15/06
Filed: 1987-04-01
Abstract: A shearing machine (1, Fig.1) comprises a frame, a work-table (13) fixed to the frame, a lower blade (15) detachably mounted on the work-table (13), a vertically movable ram (19) for holding an upper blade (17), upper and lower rear guide means (27, 29) for the ram (19), front guide means (37) for the ram (19), and drive means (55) for the ram (19), the drive means (55) being connected to the rear of the ram (19) at a point above the lower rear guide means (29). Hold down means 103 are supplied with fluid by a pump 115 driven from the ram dive shaft 55 via a cam 117. Initially piston 129 is moved through its complete stroke against springs 139, 141 to deliver a relatively large amount of low pressure fluid to cylinders 105. Then piston 131 is moved against spring 141, to deliver less fluid at higher pressure, completing its stroke just as the ram is lowered, the spring 141 damping the surge which occurs in the fluid circuit when the hold down members 109 engage the work. The work may rest on vertically movable and/or tiltable fluid-biassed supports (149). An adjustable back gauge (77) may be provided. <IMAGE>

Title: A method of producing silicon carbide preceramic vinyl-containing polysilanes
Inventor: BUJALSKI DUANE RAY
IPC: C04B35/622
Filed: 1988-08-26
Abstract: Vinyl polysilanes are obtained by reacting a polysilane substituted with alkyl, phenyl or a (halo) silylalkyl group with a vinyl Grignard and/or a vinyl lithium, optionally mixed with other organomagnesium or organolithium compounds, under anhydrous conditions, in the presence of a solvent. To ensure the survival of the vinyl groups in the polysilane the reaction and process conditions are carefully controlled.
