Title: Device for supporting a door
Inventor: FOLEY MARTIN
IPC: B25B11/00
Filed: 1992-06-10
Abstract: A support (1) for supporting a door (14) whilst it is worked on has a first edge (13) on which it can be rested on the ground and a slot (3, 4) which is open at one side (5) remote from the first edge (13). The slot (3, 4) is closed on a side towards said first edge (13) so that a door (14) can be supported edge-ways in the slot at an inclination to the ground when said first edge (13) is rested on the ground. In a particular example, the support (1) comprises 2 member (2) in which is formed a substantially rectangular slot (3, 4) which is open at one edge of the member (2). The member (2) has. a wall (6) adjacent each long side of the rectangular slot (3, 4), the walls (6) being substantially parallel and projecting out of the plane of the member (2) and defining with the rectangular slot (3, 4) a channel (7, 8) for supportingly receiving a door edge-ways. <IMAGE>

Title: A method of producing "guarantee closed" packings, and a lid therefor
Inventor: SORENSEN LARS GYNTHER
IPC: B65D55/08
Filed: 1992-07-28
Abstract: For obtaining a simple and efficient guarantee closure of jug shaped sales packings it is known to mount and crimp a piece of a plastic hose (18) about the edge of the mounted lid (4, 6) and a widened portion (22) of the jug (24) located just underneath the lid edge. However, the required equipment for mounting these sleeves (18), is so expensive that it can be used economically only in a large scale production. With the invention it is made possible to use the said closing also in smaller productions, because the said expensive equipment is utilized for a large scale production of lids (4, 6), which, placed on a carrier block (10), is separately provided with the sleeve (18), which is crimped at the outside and the top side of the lid, but not underneath the lid. For the jug closing in smaller productions it is then possible to use these prepared lids which can be mounted as usually and thereafter be guarantee closed just by a simple crimping treatment of the freely depending portion of the sleeve (18). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2270627-A (GB)
Title: Walking aid
Inventor: CUNNICK ALAN
IPC: A61H3/02
Filed: 1992-09-17
Abstract: A walking aid for a disabled person consists of an elongated support arrangement having a ground engaging footrest extending transversely therefrom, the footrest being arranged to support the foot of a user.

Patent GB-2270231-A (GB)
Title: Tonpilz transducer protected against shocks
Inventor: THOLLON DIDIER
IPC: B06B1/06
Filed: 1993-08-26
Abstract: A sheath 609 is placed between the counterweight 603 and the casing (607) of a known Tonpilz transducer, so that it adheres to these two members. This sheath is made from a polyurethane whose stiffness increases with the frequency of the loadings applied thereto. For low-frequency vibrations, the sheath does not brake the motion of the counterweight with respect to the casing. For high-frequency vibrations, characteristic of a shock, the sheath brakes these motions and prevents too great a loading of the piezoelectric motor 602 of the transducer, more particularly in tension. Hence it is possible to protect Tonpilz transducers dropped from an aircraft against shock upon entering the water. <IMAGE>

Title: A control process with cyclically controlled determination of manipulated variables in accordance with a fuzzy logic
Inventor: HIRZLE ANTON
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 1993-11-05
Abstract: In a control process with cyclically controlled determination of manipulated variables in accordance with a fuzzy logic, the fictitious, probable input variable of the next following cycle is determined and consideration of this value in the determination of the manipulated variable is carried out. In this way, account is taken of a probable development of the input variable and appropriate action is taken in advance on the manipulated variable. The consideration of an extrapolated future, fictitious input variable value is possible, since control loops with fuzzy controllers are not inclined to show a resonance behaviour between control variable and manipulated variable, as is usual with conventional controlled systems.

Title: A solid fuel stove
Inventor: GREENALL JONATHAN
IPC: F24B13/00
Filed: 1993-12-13
Abstract: A stove (1) has a front unit (2) separable from a back unit (3). The front unit (2) has a door (27) mounted on a surround frame (32). An airwash system (41) is provided in the door frame to provide a curtain of air over a window in the door. The back unit (3) has a boiler (4) and/or heats air and defines a fire-box (10) and an ash chamber (11). A pre-heating chamber (23) is provided beneath the ash chamber and provides air to the airwash system. By having the front unit (2) separable from the back unit (3) the same front unit can be reused if the boiler needs replacing, instead of replacing the whole stove. Furthermore, the back unit is lighter than an entire stove and can be installed into a recess in a wall easier than can a one-piece stove. A plate may be interposed between the front unit (2) and the back unit (3). The front unit (2) may be secured to the wall (51). <IMAGE>

Filed: 1995-02-14
Abstract: An electron beam 10 is introduced into a laser cavity defined by totally reflecting mirrors 7,8 and guided by bending magnets 1,2 and focussing lenses 12-15. The electrons interact with the beam generated by laser 9, which may be internal or external, to produce an X-ray beam 17 by inverse Compton scattering. The direction of the X-ray beam can be controlled by steering the electron beam. Different mirror and window arrangements are disclosed. Polarisation of the X-radiation can be controlled by controlling the laser beam. A single electron source can feed a series of laser cavities to produce multiple X-ray beams.

Patent GB-2299820-A (GB)
Title: Adjustable mandrel hanger system
Inventor: KENT PETER M
IPC: E21B33/043
Filed: 1996-01-04
Abstract: The system is employed for maintaining tension in a string of casing extending between a subsea wellhead assembly and a surface wellhead housing. The system has a mandrel 13 which connects into the string 11. A locking member 19 locks to the exterior of the mandrel 13 and has a cocked position, which allows both upward and downward movement of the mandrel, and a weight supporting position, which will prevent downward movement of the mandrel but allows upward movement of the mandrel relative to the locking member. The locking member 19 lands on an internal shoulder in the surface wellhead housing while the string is being lowered into the well. A running tool 37 has an actuating member 49 which will hold the locking member 19 in the cocked position and in engagement with the internal shoulder while the running tool secures the lower end of the casing string into engagement with the subsea wellhead assembly. The actuating member 49 will move upward relative to the locking member 19 to allow the locking member to move to the weight supporting position, so that a release of the pull by the running tool will cause the locking member to support the string in tension.
