Title: Plunger mechanism
Inventor: CARTER RICHARD JOHN
IPC: H01H3/16
Filed: 1997-04-16
Abstract: A plunger mechanism, eg for a brake light switch of a vehicle, comprises a plunger 2 slidable in a generally cylindrical body 4 between an extended position and a retracted position. A bush 16,16a receives the body 4 for relative rotation. The body 4 can slide axially when the body is in one rotational position relative to the bush and can be locked axially when the body is in another rotational position relative to the bush. A stop member 26 is slidable in the body 4 and biassed in one direction. The stop member 26 is formed with a lug 30 projecting through a slot 32 in the body 4 and into a slot 34 in the bush 16,16a. The plunger 2 is provided with means 42 for engaging the stop member 26 to slide it in the body 4 against the bias 38. The slots in the body and in the bush each have a narrow section 36,34 in which the lug 30 locates when the stop member 26 is in a first position in the direction in which it is biassed. The narrow section 36,34 maintains the body 4 in the one rotational position relative to the bush 16,16a and prevents rotation of the body relative to the bush so that the body cannot be locked in position. One or both of the slots in the body and the bush have a wider section 46 in which the lug 30 locates when the stop member 26 is in a second position in a direction against the bias 38. The wider section 46 allows rotation of the body 4 relative to the bush from the one position to the other rotational position in which it is locked axially in position.

Patent GB-2329982-A (GB)
Title: Wideband oscillator with automatic bias control
Inventor: HIGGINS THOMAS M
IPC: H03B5/04
Filed: 1998-09-07
Abstract: A bipolar negative resistance UHF oscillator (9) having a voltage tunable resonator (22) in its emitter circuit is operated at a fixed collector bias current (12) and an RF detector (14) is used as a convenient way to determine the RF current at which the oscillator is operating, by sensing the amplitude of the oscillator's output RF voltage across a constant load (29). An integrating error amplifier (13) referenced to a desired detector output level, (25) responds to the actual detector output level (26) to control (11) the collector bias voltage for the oscillator and maintain the output of the oscillator at a fixed amplitude. Since the collector bias current is fixed, this keeps the operating point at a fixed relation with respect to emitter cutoff. That relationship is chosen to be "just below" by initial selection of the constant collector bias current and the reference voltage used by the integrating error amplifier. The result is a VCO tunable over an octave with minimal phase noise, near maximum power output and immunity to temperature variations and shifts in oscillator device parameters.

Title: Control of magnetically impelled arc butt welding
Inventor: IVANOVICH KUCHUK-YATSENKO SERG
IPC: B23K9/08
Filed: 1999-01-20
Abstract: In a process of magnetically impelled arc butt welding during heating controlled continuous displacement of the parts being welded is performed. The gap between the parts edges is kept constant by using the value of the welding arc voltage as the parameter for the gap size adjustment. The moment of achievement of the required temperature on the edges of parts being welded, is determined by the length of the relative displacement of the parts, and when the assigned value of displacement has been reached, the speed of the arc movement along the edges of the parts being welded, is programmed.

Date Feb. 9, 1989.A form for the pouring of concrete has first and second panels which are disposed edge-to-edge. Each of the panels has a flange projecting from the major surface of the respective panel and the flanges have confronting first surfaces which are perpendicular to the major surfaces of the panels and are designed to abut one another. The flanges have second surfaces which face away from the first surfaces and the second surfaces are inclined to the major surfaces of the panels so that the flanges narrow in a direction away from the panels. A clamping element designed to embrace the flanges is pivotally mounted on the first panel and is movable between a released position and a clamping position in which it embraces the flanges. The second panel carries an abutment and the clamping element has a free end which is located between the abutment and the flange of the second panel in the clamping position. A wedge-like slide is mounted on the free end of the clamping element for movement between a retracted position and an extended position. The arrangement is such that, when the clamping element is in its clamping position and the slide is moved to its extended position, the slide pushes against the abutment thereby causing the clamping element to urge the flanges into engagement with one another.
