Patent GB-2114450-A (GB)
Title: Respiratory apparatus
Inventor: WARNCKE ERNST
IPC: A62B7/02
Filed: 1982-12-14
Abstract: Respiratory apparatus with a regenerative cartridge (12) and a compressed oxygen receptacle (1) according to this invention are especially suitable for use as escape apparatus which are independent of the surrounding atmosphere. The arrangement of the compressed oxygen cylinder (1) on the back and of the circulatory portion (5) in front of the body gives a comfortable mode of carrying. Both portions are connected to one another by way of a high-pressure line (3). This starts at the connection housing (2) and ends in a sealing housing (4) as an inlet to the circulatory portion (5). The oxygen flows from the connection housing (2) into the circuit and the respiratory connection (14) after a destructible seal has automatically been broken off in housing (4) with the movement of the respiratory connection. A throttle nozzle (10) within housing 4 is of such dimensions as to allow approximately 12 l/min of oxygen to flow at the beginning under the full filling pressure. A sufficient quantitiy for preliminary rinsing is available therewith. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2124995-A (GB)
Title: Formation of hermetically-sealed packages
Inventor: MCDONALD IAN WILLIAM
IPC: B65B51/10
Filed: 1983-06-16
Abstract: Packages (10) are formed from a continuous strip shaped into a tube around the contents and severed and sealed transversely to form partial end seals (13 and 14). The packages (10) are then reorientated by 90 DEG  relative to their direction of travel and at least the partial end seal 13 may be passed along a slot (15) in an evacuated chamber (16) for air extraction. Hermetic seals are formed at both ends of the packages by the use of two band sealers or rotary crimp sealers which can operate for a longer period of time than is possible during transverse severing and sealing in conventional form-fill-seal machines. A heat-fusible sealant is used particularly to fill air channels which occur where the number of layers of packaging strip changes, e.g. in the region of gussets and a longitudinal seal. <IMAGE>

Title: Engine and compressor valve gear
Inventor: LIEVESLEY JOHN BRIAN
IPC: F02B33/10
Filed: 1983-09-30
Abstract: In an engine or a compressor having an inlet valve (52) and an exhaust valve (54), the piston (49) has a shaft (34) on which is mounted a second piston (32) which is also reciprocably mounted in the cylinder (31). Further valves (58, 59, 62, 63) are provided in a valve chest consisting of two casings (55 and 56) which are mounted in the cylinder between the pistons, the shaft (34) extending in a sealing but slidable manner through the valve chest. The further valves are so arranged that atmospheric air is compressed in the chambers (68, 69) on either side of the valve chest and discharged into a duct (64). The duct (64) can lead to an inlet manifold (65) of a four-stroke engine or to a common outlet port or manifold of a compressor. <IMAGE>

Title: Fuel injection nozzle for i.c. engines
Inventor: SKINNER ROBERT THOMAS JOHN
IPC: F02M61/08
Filed: 1983-10-04
Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle of the outwardly opening type includes a valve member 20 having a head 21 which is moved away from a seating 17 by fuel under pressure to allow fuel flow through outlet orifices 19. The initial lift of the valve member 20 is opposed by a spring 26 which therefore determines the nozzle opening pressure but further movement is opposed by a stiffer second spring 28 which is brought into operation by a collet mechanism including spring biased collets 32. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2130724-A (GB)
Title: A system and method of seismic exploration
Inventor: BOWDEN EDGAR ALLEN
IPC: G04F10/04
Filed: 1983-11-03
Abstract: A seismic exploration system includes a gun shot control unit which compensates for the inherent delay between the shot command signal and the actual occurrence of the seismic pulse. A digital clock is synchronized with remotely located detectors for receiving the seismic pulses. Timing pulses occurring at a time preceding the timing pulse upon which the occurrence of a seismic pulse is desired are produced by the clock. These timing pulses start a digital counter at a time preceding the desired time of occurrence of the seismic pulse. The counter is adjustable so that the delay which it interposes between the timing pulse and the occurrence of the shot command signal is variable. The error between the actual occurrence of the seismic pulse and the required timing is measured and indicated so that this error may be minimised by suitable adjustment of the counter. An alarm indicates an excessive error.

Patent GB-2144244-A (GB)
Title: Rotorcraft load factor enhancer
Inventor: COOPER DEAN EARL
IPC: G05D1/08
Filed: 1984-07-11
Abstract: Rotor speed is maintained at a reference speed 48 by a closed-loop fuel control system 40,44,46,48,54,58. Load factor potential is enhanced by increasing the reference speed as a function of the helicopter pitch rate 72 and optionally airspeed 80 when undergoing positive pitch rate manoeuvres. The reference may be increased only when a certain airspeed (cruise speed) has been reached. Alternatively load factor can be sensed directly or combined with pitch rate by use of an accelerometer 73. <IMAGE>
