Title: Pouch-like bags for containing liquids
Inventor: HARDY PETER DEREK
IPC: A61J1/00
Filed: 1981-12-22
Abstract: A pouch-like bag (10) has two walls of flexible plastics sealed around their periphery. The walls are preferably laminated with the inner layer of linear low density polyethylene and the outer layer of oriented polypropylene. The bag is provided with an elongate insert (14) capable of self-sealing a transverse puncture and located adjacent to the bag periphery, and peripheral sealed portins of the bag walls outboard of the insert form a tearable tag (11) which, when torn off, exposes a side of the insert which is preferably formed with a notch or groove (15) to guide a needle for penetration transversely through the insert into the bag, e.g. for injecting a drug into the bag. The bag may also have a pair of inward extensions (19) of the peripheral seal (18) defining a passage (20) for guiding an administration needle of a hospital drip feed system into the bag, the passage having a frangible seal (21) at its inner end and being closed by a tearable tag (12) at its outer end. In manufacture of the bag, the insert may be first sealed between plies of the plastics material which are to form the wlls, whereupon the peripheral seal (18) is effected including the formation of the tearable tags. A gap (22) may be left at the top, which is sealed after the bag has been filled through the gap.
Patent GB-2094436-A (GB)
Title: Sealing bores or other openings
IPC: F16L55/10
Filed: 1982-02-16
Abstract: A method of sealing a bore 2 in a body 1 by forcing into the bore 2 a closure member 4 which is of such dimensions and shape relative to the dimensions and shape of the bore 2 that 'hoop tension' conditions are produced at the leading and trailing regions of the zone of contact between the member 4 and the bore 2 whereby even though the member has been forced lengthwise of the bore the material of the bore at the trailing region of the member closes in to its original diameter to hold the closure member in place. If desired the wall of the bore 2 can be swaged over to augment the 'hoop tension' effect, <IMAGE>

Thumb catches (21) are provided for ease of opening and a neck portion (17) is flared towards its open end to divert water which drips from the cover away from the shaft of the club. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2117298-A (GB)
Title: Method of brazing honeycomb panels
Inventor: ITTNER NELSON CARL
IPC: B23K1/00
Filed: 1982-03-18
Abstract: Rather than spray coat face sheets of honeycomb panels with powder braze alloy or using foil strips of braze alloy between honeycomb core and face sheets, individual ribbon segments 12 of brazing foil are positioned between successive honeycomb cell vertices or nodes 13, 14. The arrangement is such that several such ribbon segments 12 will lie essentially in parallel planes to each other and normal to the planes of the top and bottom panel sheets 18, 19 when these panel sheets are positioned to sandwich the honeycomb cells therebetween. Heat can then be applied to melt the ribbon segments resulting in a flow of the brazing material into the nodes as well as the contact line joints made between the top and bottom of the cell walls with the top and bottom panel sheets. Excess brazing material on the panel surfaces covering the open cell portions free of joints is thereby virtually eliminated and desirable ductility and elongation characteristics of the resulting structure are retained. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2129585-A (GB)
Title: Memory system including a faulty rom array
Inventor: WALKER CHRISTOPHER PAUL HULME
IPC: G11C17/00
Filed: 1982-10-29
Abstract: The individual rows of a ROM array are accessed by a row decoder/driver in response to the arrival of the address of the individual row on the address lines. A plurality of programmable switches store the address of a row of ROM array found to contain one or more defects. If the incoming address is that of the defective row each of a plurality of comparators connected to both an address line and the associated switch outputs a coincidence signal to an AND gate. The output of the AND gate accesses a spare row of RAM which thus replaces the defective row of the ROM array. Access to the spare row is automatic upon receipt of the address of the defective row. Each column of the ROM array contains a check bit computed from the remaining contents of the respective column, and the data to be stored in the spare row is generated from the remaining contents of the ROM array. At initialization, the generated data which should have been stored in the defective row is written into the spare row.

Title: Torsional vibration dampers
Inventor: PFEIFER PETER
IPC: F16F15/121
Filed: 1982-11-19
Abstract: A torsional vibration damper for drive means having rotary unbalance e.g. crankshaft drives comprises an inner member 1, which is adapted to be non-rotatably connected to the drive means, and an outer member 3, 5,8, which constitutes the damping mass and is coupled to the inner member by resilient and/or viscous means 4. In order to minimize the additional expenditure for counterweights and to eliminate the moment of inertia which is due to the mass of counterweights, the center of gravity of the outer member is eccentric with respect to the axis of rotation of the outer member. This may be achieved by the end plate 8 having a thicker portion 8' which extends along only part of its periphery. Alternatively the spacers 5 on one side of the axis may have bores. The outer member may instead be composed of materials with different specific gravities. <IMAGE>
