Title: Medicament applicator
IPC: A61M37/00
Filed: 1982-04-29
Abstract: A disposable applicator for placing a pharmacologically active agent in contact with a moist body surface, especially the eye is in the form of an elongate strip disposed at one end of which is a soluble matrix element containing the pharmacologically active agent so that on contact with the moist body surface the matrix element separates from the remainder of the strip. In a preferred form the matrix element is attached to the remainder of the strip by a thin water soluble membrane which rapidly dissolves in body fluid thereby releasing the matrix element to the body surface. Processes for the preparation of the disposable applicators are also described.

Title: A back flow seal in an injection cylinder
Inventor: HIRMER SIEGFRIED
IPC: B29C45/52
Filed: 1982-10-26
Abstract: An injection moulding apparatus has a screw (2), rotatably and axially displaceably mounted in a cylinder (1), by the rotation of which is plasticised the material in the cylinder, and by the axial forward displacement of which the plasticised material is injected into a mould. A closure ring (17) is guided on the screw head (8) and is axially displaceably and is in sealing contact with the inner surface (19) of the cylinder. The closure ring bears, during plasticising, by axial spaced apart projections (22), provided on its end face facing in the direction of said forward displacement, on to a shoulder (26) of the screw head, and during the injection phase is brought to bear by its sealing surface, provided on its end face (20) on to a complementary sealing surface (21) of the screw. The projections of the closure ring are provided with bearing surfaces (24), which in axial section make an acute angle with the direction of forward displacement of the screw, and bears on to the shoulder 26 which is formed as a bearing surface (27) complementary to the surfaces (24). <IMAGE>

Title: Delivering bristles in brush making machine
Inventor: STEINEBRUNNER WALTER
IPC: A46D3/08
Filed: 1982-12-30
Abstract: A multiple magazine (1) is constructed as a double magazine with two feed channels (12 and 13). Bristles (25) may be removed alternately or selectively from these feed channels by means of the tuft portioning device (3). For this purpose, the delivery end (2) of the magazine (1) can be pivoted (Pf 2) into different positions. The magazine (1) has a fixed magazine portion (10) and an adjoining pivotal portion (11) at the delivery end (2). This pivotal portion has a relatively low mass so that a high operating speed is even possible with a reciprocating movement. The outlet openings of the feed channels (12, 13) are arranged, in their associated delivery positions, relative to the tuft portioning device (3), in such a way that even the reversal point (U) of the portioning slot (5) which receives the tuft of bristles (6) is located inside the particular outlet opening. This ensures reliable and complete filling of this portioning slot. <IMAGE>

Title: Improved electrical water-heater
Inventor: SHI CHIAO YANG
IPC: F24H1/18
Filed: 1983-11-24
Abstract: An improved electrical water-heater comprises a feed water tube, a heater, a turbine, a gearbox, a generator and a voltage-controlling device. In this improved electrical water-heater, the water from a cold water mains flows into the feed water tube, successively through the heater and the turbine, and then discharges from the hot water outlet of the turbine. When the cold water flows through the turbine, the turbine is driven to actuate the generator which is connected to the heater via the voltage-controlling device. As a result, the electrical power generated is converted into heat energy by the heater thus heating up the cold water passing through the feed water tube. The turbine is provided with three collapsible blades 15 which are arranged to negotiate a block 14 which ensures that water flows only in at the inlet 12 and only out at the outlet 13. <IMAGE>

Title: Fluid control valves
Inventor: REDSTON HUGH WIGGINTON
IPC: F02M63/00
Filed: 1984-02-06
Abstract: In a fluid control valve comprising a biased-open valve member 22 connected through a resilient member 42 to the armature 34 of an electromagnetic device, the travel of the armature 34 is greater than the movement of the valve member 22, the additional movement of the armature causing flexure of the resilient member 42. A collar 27 limits opening movement of the valve member 22. Resilient member 42, which acts to minimise impact loading on the valve head 23 and seating 24, may be a scalloped disc as shown, a coiled compression spring (54, Fig. 4) which engages a collar (53) slidable on a valve stem 26, or a diaphragm spring (63, Fig. 5). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2172718-A (GB)
Title: Division of binary numbers
Inventor: SUMNER IAN
IPC: G06F7/535
Filed: 1985-03-20
Abstract: A divider system for performing a series of division computations comprises a cascade of subtraction stages (30 Fig. 4) in which binary division is performed in stepwise fashion. In each stage, e.g. (a)-(f), the divisor e.g. 0101 is subtracted from the dividend which may be the same dividend as from the previous stage if the previous stage subtraction resulted in a borrow or the result from the previous subtraction stage if no borrow resulted from the previous stage subtraction. The "borrow" and "no- borrow" results from each stage are correlated with the original dividend/divisor input to the first stage and represent the required quotient for the respective dividend/divisor pair, taking the value "0" for a "no-borrow", "1" for a "borrow". At each stage, the divisor and dividend are relatively shifted by one place, in opposite senses (Figs. 1a, 1b). <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2175110-A (GB)
Title: Memory addressing circuit
Inventor: RELF RICHARD STEPHEN
IPC: G06F13/40
Filed: 1985-05-13
Abstract: A memory 40 is connected to a data bus RDAT and to an address bus RA. Access to the memory 40 from a first multi-bit bus SSB is controlled by a decoder and logic unit 43, both data and addresses being couplable to the buses RDAT and RA respectively from the first bus SSB. Access from the first bus SSB is denied by signals NEMFIBZ and XNBZ(-) from a second multi-bit bus MFB when the second bus MFB is busy. Data can be read out of one region of the memory 40 onto the bus MFB and written into other regions of the memory 40 from the bus MFB at addresses generated by counters 52 and 53, adder 54, and a latch 51 which is loaded with a number from the bus MFB. The counters receive clock pulses either from the bus MFB in the case of writing or from a slave state machine 48 in the case of reading. The region read out or written into is determined by the number in latch 51. The slave state machine 48 stops when part of the address generated matches a limit stored in a register 45. The circuit may include a master state machine 46 which becomes active on receiving a signal SOF INT decoded from signals supplied by the first bus SSB and which when active generates a predetermined series of the numbers which are loaded into the latch 51 and placed on the second bus MFB. <IMAGE>
