Title: Inclination indicator for gripping means on loading machines
IPC: B66F/
Filed: 1978-11-28
Abstract: Inclination indicator (14) for loading machines (10) having gripping means (11, 20) which are adjustable to an arbitrary angle of inclination in relation to a reference plane (16). The gripping means (11, 20) can be for instance the fork (11) on a fork lift truck (10) or the clamping means (20) on a clamping lift truck (10).

Patent GB-798596-A (GB)
Abstract: 798,596. Electric indicating system. GISHOLT MACHINE CO. Sept. 16, 1955 [Dec. 31, 1954], No. 26553/55. Class 40 (1). [Also in Group XL (b)] In a rotary balancing machine a photoelectric device is used for indicating when the magnitude of the unbalance exceeds a predetermined amount. As shown, the body 3 to be tested is supported on an adapter 2 having a spindle 1 carried on bearings 7, 8. The adapter is driven by a belt around a pulley 4. The cradle 9 carrying the bearing is supported by strips 11 which permit lateral vibration from a frame 10. The lateral vibrations of the cradle are transmitted through a rod 12 to vibrate a coil 13 between the poles of a permanent magnet 14. The coil output is amplified at 15 and fed to a voltmeter 17 which if the predetermined tolerance limit is exceeded cuts off the light passing from a source 27 (Fig. 4, not shown) to a photo-cell 20, by raising a shutter carried on its pointer. The photo-cell output is amplified and extinguishes a light 24. In an alternative arrangement rod 12 is arranged to oscillate a mirror which deflects a light beam over an opaque screen. If the amplitude of the mirror vibration is adequate the beam is deflected past the edge of the screen and on to a photoelectric cell which lights a lamp. Specification 781,106 is referred to.

Title: Device for signalling load excess
IPC: G01G19/18
Filed: 1980-05-14
Abstract: A device for signalling a load, such as a lift passenger load, exceeding a predetermined value comprises a sensor 10 attached to a load carrying member on which the load is exerted. The sensor comprises a plate member secured to the load carrying member and at least one strain gauge 21 mounted on the plate member. Signalling circuitry is responsive to a first signal received from the strain gauge. The circuitry includes a comparator 50 for comparing said first signal with a second signal representative of said predetermined load value to produce an overload signal when said first signal exceeds said second signal for a predetermined period. In one embodiment suitable for use with a lift car having a compensated rope arrangement, a compensating sensor produces a compensating signal in order that the effect of the rope may be eliminated. <IMAGE>

Title: Measurement of Basal Body Measurement
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1980-12-19
Abstract: Body temperature readings from a thermistor 16 are recorded in a counter 20 by means of a self- balancing bridge 17 when gate 15 is open for the same four hours of each day. Clock 10 is set to initiate the four hour period at say 06.00 hrs. so that the body temperature measurement is taken after waking but before rising. Measurements for the first three days of the menstrual cycle are rejected (19) and for the next eight days are accumulated in a store 22. These measurements are subject to a diurnal correction 21 to reduce them to the temperature at the beginning of the 4 hour period. The mean of eight readings is determined (23) and subsequent readings compared (24) with the mean. A Cusum statistical test is then applied to determine the beginning of the infertile period signalled by a rise in body temperature and produce a corresponding display 27. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2073846-A (GB)
Title: Shock Absorbers
IPC: F16F9/06
Filed: 1981-04-13
Abstract: The performance of shock absorbers with a sleeve (12) divided into two chambers by a floating piston (20) is markedly impaired by wear on the inner sleeve wall and on the piston due to tilting of the piston. Diminished performance is also caused by the passage of gas or liquid from one chamber to the other. In order to reduce this wear and to improve the operation of the shock absorber, tilt- resisting means (48, Fig. 4) are provided on the floating piston. The tilt-resisting ring (48) and the sealing ring (50) may be assembled on a blank the ends of which are turned outward to form annular grooves (52, 54). <IMAGE>

Title: Method of preservation
IPC: A01N3/00
Filed: 1981-12-09
Abstract: Cells or other microscopic small biological materials are preserved as follows. A water-in-oil emulsion of the cells is formed from an aqueous suspension of the cells and a non- toxic hydrophobic liquid (the 'oil'), the cells entering the aqueous phase of the emulsion. The temperature of the emulsion is reduced to a value at which the water within the cells is frozen (typically in the range -25 to -35 DEG C).
