Abstract: A cross-country vehicle with all-wheel drive is driven by a reciprocating piston engine (1), transversely mounted close to the front axle (2), and a manual gearbox (3), likewise situated transversely at the front. From the manual gearbox the drive torque goes to a planetary gearing (7) acting as centre differential. Its internal gear (9) drives the front axle (2), the sun gear (10) drives a low-high range-change transmission (18). The planetary gearing (7), the range-change transmission (18) and the sets of gears (19, 21) connected to it on the output side are designed so that the greater part of the torque is available on the front axle (2) in the high range and on the rear axle (22) in the low range. The centre differential (7) can be locked (32) in the high range and in the low range. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for accessing a data item from a data base has the full data base contained in a plurality of blocks in a slow background memory and furthermore has a faster foreground memory. Each data item has a label containing one or more elements. The data base furthermore has an index containing a second multiplicity of treewise organized index items each comprising an initial part of its label header, one or more secondary pointers and an indication of whether all data items having that initial part are contained in only one or in a plurality of blocks. First the index is accessed with the initial part of the label. If the index item pertaining to the latter initial part signals said being contained in only a single block, the pointer in that index item points to that single block and the block is stored in the foreground memory. Extending the initial part to a full header identifies an intended subset of data items for accessing through its completed label. If the data items having the initial part are contained in a plurality of blocks, the pointer of the current index item points to a further index item of the tree having the current initial part extended by a next successor label element, whereupon the process repeats for the extended label header.

Abstract: A device for scanning a surface is described, which device comprises a radiation source (5), a transparent plate (18) provided with a grating (17) having two grating structures, an objective system (7) for focusing the radiation on a surface (3), and a detection system (12) for converting radiation reflected by the surface into electric signals. The first grating structure in the grating (17) is intended, for example for forming two side beams (21, 22) from the radiation beam (6). By providing the second grating structure, a monitor beam (13) is obtained in reflection from the radiation beam (6). The monitor beam is directed onto a monitor detector (14) which generates an electric signal with which the radiation power of the radiation source (5) is controlled.

Abstract: Sludge for injection into a kiln (14) is attrited into smaller particles to promote burning thereof by a process in which sludge is conveyed through a conduit (18) to an attrition portion (20) thereof adjacent to the kiln. The attrition portion is of segmental form. A fluid, preferably air, is introduced into the atrition portion through passageways (138) through the attrition portion and at a pressure sufficient to attrite the sludge in the attrition poriton into smaller particles and to eject the particles from the attrition portion into the kiln. As a result sludge is burned more efficiently, a flame shape of the burning sludge is enhanced and large, incombustible objects are removed from the sludge.

Abstract: A combined air vent (36) and pressure switch (38) are provided at the inlet (22) of a liquid pump. The air vent (36) is adapted to exhaust air from a supply line (32), such as a garden hose, and thereby substantially prevent the pump from running dry before water from the hose (32) reaches the inlet (22). The pressure switch (38) is connected to the motor (14) of the pump and is adapted to signal the motor to stop if the pressure switch (38) senses a low pressure condition at the pump inlet (22), such as when there is inadequate liquid or no liquid at the pump inlet. The features of the air vent (36) and pressure switch (38) combine to prevent the pump from being damaged by running the pump without adequate liquid supply.

Abstract: A lock for an engine thrust reverser comprises a locking member (12), for example, in the shape of a fork, arranged to engage a locking pin (40) of a thrust reversing member (1). In use, the thrust reversing member (1) is held in an inoperative position by other locks such that no force is exerted on the locking member (12) by the thrust reversing member (1). If the other locks fail, the thrust reversing member pushes against the locking member (12). Under such conditions the lock cannot be unlocked and consequently the thrust reversing member is prevented from being deployed.

Abstract: Each of the two brush leaf means of an electric motor comprises a first resiliently flexible conductive section (1), attached to a terminal (11), and an additional resiliently flexible section (5) extending an acute angle to the first section (1). The first and second ends (2 and 4) of the first section (1) are disposed on opposite sides of a contact portion (8) of the additional section (5) which engages a commutator (9) forming part of the motor. It is therefore possible to increase the length of the first section (1) to thereby provide robust brush leaf means which are nevertheless capable of flexing sufficiently to accommodate discrepancies in the mounting of the brush leaf means and in concentricity of the commutator (9). Such brush leaf means are fabricable of a single stamped sheet.
