Patent GB-2041256-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to electric wiring harness
IPC: H01B13/012
Filed: 1980-01-24
Abstract: An electric wiring harness is manufactured by automatically applying electrical leads 5 transversely of pairs 2 of tapes as they are moved in the direction of their lengths. Preferably, during passage from a measuring and cutting machine 11 to a device 15 for applying electrical leads to the tapes, terminals 9 are automatically crimped to stripped ends of the electrical leads by terminating machines 14. On emerging from pressure applicating devices 16 which press together the tapes of each pair between successive leads to cause them to adhere, the tapes pass through cutting devices 17 which automatically cut the pairs of tapes when a predetermined number of electrical leads has passed. <IMAGE>

Title: Production of Polycyclic  beta - lactams by the Cyclisation of Sulphides
IPC: C07D503/00
Filed: 1980-03-21
Abstract: Polycyclic  beta -lactams are produced by the desulphurization of organic sulphides with accompanying ring formation, by treating  beta -lactams having a nucleophilic group linked to the nitrogen atom via an unsubstituted or substituted divalent organic radical, and a monothio, dithio or polythio group linked to the adjacent carbon atom, with (for a di- or poly-sulphide) tervalent organophosphorus compounds or for monosulphides thiophilic agents.

Title: Starting arrangement for a fluorescent lamp
IPC: H05B41/04
Filed: 1981-02-06
Abstract: Fluorescent lamp 31 is switched on at switch 48. Induced current from coil 34 flows in a starting circuit comprising main circuit wires 36, electrodes 46, which heat up and radiate when said current flows, starting circuit wires 47 and relay 43 which is closed. Radiation emitted from the electrodes 46 impinges on sensor 38 which then allows a switching potential to transistor 39 which, in turn switches on coil 40 of the relay 43, opening the starting circuit. Sudden opening of the starting circuit produces a surge voltage in the coil 34 which is discharged through tube 30. The lamp lights up. <IMAGE>

Title: Hub assembly for a driving wheel of a vehicle
IPC: F16D3/20
Filed: 1981-09-04
Abstract: The hub assembly comprises a wheel flange, a transmission joint and a rolling bearing. The confronting radial surfaces of the flange and the inner race of the bearing are separated throughout their height by a gap and consequently do not bear against each other.

Patent GB-2083640-A (GB)
Title: Photographic silver halide materials
IPC: G03C7/32
Filed: 1981-09-10
Abstract: Granularity of silver halide dye- image-forming photographic materials is reduced by employing a coupler which yields a dye of such mobility that controlled image smearing occurs. This coupler is used in combination with another which yields a non-diffusable dye, both couplers being associated with the same or different silver halide emulsion layers. The mobile dye may be slightly mobile, e.g. by providing the coupler with two ballasting groups, one attached at the coupling position, the other attached elsewhere. Alternatively the dye may be diffusible out of its layer during development in which case the material also comprises a mordant layer for this dye. Exemplified are multi- colour photographic materials containing multiple slow/fast red-, green- and blue-sensitive colour forming units, the coupler yielding mobile dye being associated with at least one of the fast colour forming units. Also disclosed is the preparation of a coupler which yields a slightly mobile cyan dye.

Title: Brazed tungsten filament to lead joint
IPC: B23K1/19
Filed: 1981-09-15
Abstract: In a brazed joint between a coiled tungsten filament 2 and a molybdenum lead 3a, the lead continues integrally into a braze section 3d,e which extends longitudinally within the coiled filament. The braze section may be formed by suddenly melting the portion of the lead used in the joint by a pulse electric discharge, electron beam or laser, in an inert or reducing gas or vacuum. The liquid molybdenum wets the tungsten and is drawn by capillarity into the turns of the coiling where it is rapidly chilled and solidifies in a time interval too short for appreciable crystal growth and embrittlement to occur in the tungsten. <IMAGE>
