Title: Anti-skid brake system
IPC: B60T8/36
Filed: 1982-03-31
Abstract: An anti-skid hydro-pneumatic brake system comprises a common three-port, two-position valve (6) and two two-port, two-position valves (7, 8) for monitoring two brake cylinders (43, 44). The three-port, two-position valve (6) is disposed in an air line from a brake valve 1 to a hydraulic fluid displacer (39) and the two-port, two- position valves are disposed in a hydraulic brake line (41). All three valves (6, 7, 8) are pilot-controlled and actuated by pressure medium, and the actuating pressure medium for the two two-port, two-position valves and preferably also for the third valve is tapped from an air line (control line 3) which is subjected to pressure during braking. In this manner, the same hydro- pneumatic master cylinders can be used for the front and rear axles, or the same electronic system can be used in a vehicle having a hydraulically braked front axle and a pneumatically braked rear axle, since the solenoid pilot control valves (17, 18, 19) required for control are identical to one another. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2145818-A (GB)
Title: Flowmeters
Inventor: STACEY GRAHAM FRANCIS
IPC: G01F1/32
Filed: 1983-08-24
Abstract: A tube 1 carries a liquid in which, because of a bluff body 3, vortices are generated, the frequency of generation depending upon the speed of the liquid. The vortices act on a vane (not shown) which vibrates at a corresponding frequency and causes a shaft 4, to which it is attached, to move. In one embodiment, a plate 19, on which are carried four magnets, (two of which, 20 and 21 are shown) moves with the shaft 4. Pivoted above the plate 19 is a disc 24 which also carries magnets 25 and 26 having opposite polarity to those on plate 19. The disc 24 also has a reflector 9 on its surface which, when positioned directly under two optical fibres 11 and 12, causes light transmitted down one to be reflected back along the other to a detector (not shown). Movement of the plate 19 causes the disc 24 to move because of attraction between the magnets and hence light is transmitted to the detector in the form of pulses, the frequency of which is related to the speed of the liquid on the tube 1. Other embodiments are disclosed in Figs. 1-3.

Title: Metering devices and magnetic cards for use with such devices
Inventor: STANFORD CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: G07F7/02
Filed: 1985-04-12
Abstract: A metering device, for example a parking meter, having a single magnetic head is used with magnetic card (C) having three aligned magnetic strips (M1, M2, M3), one at each end of the card and one in the middle separated by two non-magnetic gaps (N1, N2). In a decrementing operation, the card is inserted so that when the card is first driven in a direction into the device timing information is derived from one end magnetic strip (M3) for controlling reading of the token value of the card from the middle magnetic strip (M2), and so that when the car is then driven in a direction out of the device timing information is derived from the other end magnetic strip (M1) which together with card position information derived from sensors results in a writing circuit connected to the magnetic head being switched on while the head is opposite one non-magnetic gap (N1), a decremented token value being written on the middle magnetic strip (M2) and the writing circuit being switched off while the head is opposite the other non-magnetic gap (N2). Thus, switching the writing circuit on and off does not produce ill-defined magnetic transitions on the card.
