Title: Cooled intake valve for an internal combustion engine
IPC: F01L3/14
Filed: 1981-12-21
Abstract: The intake valve has a hollow valve stem 18 and valve head 19 containing a vaporizable liquid. A heat exchanger 36 is provided at the end of the valve stem 18 to condense liquid which has been vaporized by heat transferred to the valve head 19. This ensures that the portion of the valve in the mixture intake system is maintained at a temperature which will prevent the transference of heat to the intake mixture charge from the valve and thus reduce heating of the charge. Wire mesh 34 acts as a wick to return condensed vapour to the head chamber 31. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2091526-A (GB)
Title: Digital Map Generator and Display System
IPC: G06T15/10
Filed: 1982-01-06
Abstract: A digital information storage and read-out system in which digital elevation and cultural terrain data is read from a magnetic tape (10) in compressed form into an intermediate memory (20) which operates as a speed buffer memory. The data in the intermediate memory is read out to a reconstruction processor (30) in which the compressed data is reconstructed and applied to a scene memory (35). A navigation computer (100) determines the instantaneous position of a vehicle with respect to the terrain and controls the reading of data into the scene memory (35) in blocks with the vehicle position occupying a center of scene location. In order to provide a heading up display of the terrain, the data in the scene memory is read out (40) at an angle to its north-up storage orientation and interlaced scanning of pixel data in the scene memory improves resolution and enhances line display. The data read out of the scene memory controls the generation of video control signals to effect a display of the elevation and cultural data as a moving map related to the vehicle position. <IMAGE>

Title: Storage container
IPC: B65D88/66
Filed: 1982-04-05
Abstract: A storage container has a front wall (11) that slopes downwardly to a discharge opening (14) in an opposite back wall (12). The back wall also slopes inwardly towards the bottom but at a lower angle to the horizontal than the front wall. A cover plate (15) is pivotally mounted along its upper edge above the discharge opening and is movable between opening and closing positions. When the cover plate is closed a substantial proportion of the weight of the container contents bears against the cover plate. Selectively releasable cover retaining means (30) comprising a latching hook (31) pivotally mounted to the container is provided for releasably holding the cover plate in its closing position. The latching hook engages with a rotatable retaining bar (33) on the cover plate, a lug (39) being provided on the retaining bar so that rotation of the bar causes the lug to lift the latching hook out of engagement with the retaining bar and thereby release the cover plate. The container is mounted on a trailer so that it can be readily moved and also from a vehicle. <IMAGE>

Title: Door lock for motor vehicles
Inventor: DEISCHL HANS-JOSEF
IPC: E05B85/26
Filed: 1982-06-23
Abstract: A door lock for motor vehicles has a forked latch (1) with a half-lock arm (3) and a full-lock arm (4), and a catch (2) with a lever arm (5) and hook (6) which engages first behind the half- lock arm (3) in a half-locked position and then behind the full-lock arm (4) in the fully locked position, the forked latch (1) and the catch (2) being so shaped that as the forked latch (1) rotates out of the half-lock position into the full-lock position, the half-lock arm (3) remains in controlling contact with the catch lever arm (5) and guides the hook (6) into position over the full-lock arm (4). In this way, impact collisions between the hook (6) and the full-lock arm (4), which would interfere with the control of door closure, are avoided. <IMAGE>

Title: Locking device for folding hand knife
Inventor: GREENSMITH DAVID JOHN
IPC: B26B1/04
Filed: 1982-12-09
Abstract: A folding hand knife consisting of a blade 1 pivotally connected to a handle 2 has a stepped locking peg 6 mounted transversely through the handle.
