Title: Mounting glazing panels to partitioning and partition walling
Inventor: LONGHURST KEITH GRAHAM
IPC: E06B3/58
Filed: 1991-12-14
Abstract: A system of partitioning or partition wailing comprises a channel section extruded aluminium primary mounting member 100 into which are snap-fitted complementary mounting members 124, 132 to receive wall or glazing panels. The complementary mounting members are plastics extrusions which are pre-assembled into interfitting form, whereby two or more of these can be cut to length prior to assembly with the primary mounting member.

Abstract: 935,071. Motors without commutators. FERRANTI Ltd. Oct. 6, 1960 [Oct. 9, 1959], No. 34212/59. Class 38 (2). In a reversible commutatorless D.C. electric motor having a permanent magnet rotor 1, the supply of current to stator windings W1 . . . W6 through so-called , " amplifiers " AMP1 . . . AMP6 is controlled by signals to the amplifiers derived from photo-electric cells P1 . . . P6 which are energized sequentially by light passing through a slot 5 in a rotating disc 4 mounted on the motor shaft. With the rotor 1 as shown Fig. 2, cells P2 and P3 are energized to effect energization of windings W2, W3 producing a field perpendicular to the rotor for maximum torque. Rotation in either direction can be effected by the arrangement of Fig. 3 where opposite windings (e.g. W1 and W4) may each be associated with their cells (P1, P4) through " and " gates (6, 7, 8, 9). As shown, when a control signal is applied to and gates 6, 9 and the similarly disposed gates for the other cells energization of P1 energizes winding W1 and so on so that the rotor runs in the forward direction as previously described.

Title: Controlling a vibration damper
Inventor: WOLF FRITZ
IPC: B60G17/018
Filed: 1992-01-31
Abstract: A vibration damper 112 between a vehicle chassis and body is controlled between "hard" and "soft" characteristics by a system that detects an operating parameter BZG (such as steering angle, vehicle speed, throttle valve angle, engine speed, brake pressure or body/wheel acceleration) at 180, compares it with 182 threshold valves Hx, Rx at 152, 154 to provide control signals to at least one valve 168, and imposes a time delay at 190 so that the damper is switched back from a "hard" to a "soft" characteristic only when the parameter BZG has fallen below the threshold valve Rx for a predetermined time. In an alternative arrangement (figures 14 to 16), the predetermined time delay is a function of the time for which the parameter BZG is above the threshold valve Hx.
