Title: A disc brake rotor
Inventor: KITO MASAHIRO
IPC: F16D65/00
Filed: 1997-05-09
Abstract: A disc brake rotor is formed of flaky graphite cast iron in which the natural frequency of the disc rotor is set by the graphite length in the flaky graphite cast iron structure. The cast iron may be equivalent to FC15O.

Title: Selective call receiver
Inventor: KAWASHIMA SHINICHI
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: A radio selective call receiver with a speech notice function stores a message signal (40) when it is determined that its own call number is contained in the received radio signal, for speech output (50, 60, 90). A voltage determining section (100, 130, 110, 120) determines whether an output voltage of a power supply section (140) is equal to or lower than a predetermined reference voltage, before the speech output. A control section (160, 80, 70) allows the speech output when the output voltage of the power supply section is higher than the predetermined reference voltage, and prohibits it otherwise.

Title: Releasable fixture with a pair of flexible elements and a pin
Inventor: POYNDER COLIN LESLIE
IPC: F16B47/00
Filed: 1997-09-24
Abstract: A releasable fixture has a pair of similar flexible elements 17, 18 mounted on a common base 9, eg a suction cup, with aligned holes near their free ends, and a pin 25 fixed within the hole of the element 17, and protruding through the hole in the other element 18.

Patent GB-2325060-A (GB)
Title: Vehicle propulsion control in response to braking
Inventor: BASNETT MICHAEL NEIL
IPC: B60W10/18
Filed: 1998-04-22
Abstract: A vehicle 10 has an engine management system (EMS) 22 for controlling an engine 12 and a braking system 28 for slowing the vehicle 10 down. When the brake pedal 30 is applied, the EMS 22 progressively ramps down the engine torque in a tuneable manner, regardless of any torque demand signal from the accelerator pedal demand potentiometer 26. The EMS 22 includes an inclinometer 38 and selectively reduces or abandons the restriction of torque output from the prime mover 12 in response to the inclinometer signal so as, for example, to assist in hill starts. Torque control may be reducing fuel or air supply, or change of ignition timing. Alternatively, for electric vehicles, power to the motor vehicles is reduced. Torque output restriction may itself be limited or abandoned in response to a time delay, gear change or halting of the vehicle.

Patent GB-2336127-A (GB)
Title: An improved baling process
Inventor: HOMAN BARRY FRANCIS
IPC: B30B9/30
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: A baling press (10) has a load chamber adapted to receive material to be compressed into bales by a piston mechanism. The press also includes a choking chamber to grasp the last formed bale so that additional material can be compressed against it by the piston mechanism to form a fresh bale. The choking chamber includes moveable side walls (16, 17) which can be pulled towards each other by floating cylinders (18A, 18B) to grasp the bale within the choking chamber. When pressure in the piston mechanism exceeds a predetermined limit, the cylinders (18A, 18B) are momentarily released to enable the bale in the choking chamber to slip forward a small amount and thereby allow new material to be compressed into the new bale by the piston mechanism. In another embodiment, the top panel (30) is fixed but adjustable, and the bottom panel (31) is pivotable up and down by hydraulic cylinders (33) to grasp and release the bale in the choking chamber.
