Title: Distance measuring system
Inventor: JOHANNESSEN ROLF
IPC: G01S13/84
Filed: 1981-12-10
Abstract: A distance measuring system for marine use in conjunction with a bearing information transmitter or "radio lighthouse" e.g. of the type in Patent No. 2062394.

Title: Fluid containers
IPC: F17C13/10
Filed: 1982-04-05
Abstract: A container for storing fluids, especially carbon dioxide, under pressure comprises a tubular component 1 made of a deformable material capable of at least 7% elongation before fracture and a tubular plug 2 with a filling/emptying device. A primary pressure relief device comprising a poppet 14 with a piston section, a return spring 15 and a control orifice 13, tolerates and ejects dirt, prevents the formation of solid phase material and vents the contents in brief spurts so as to minimise loss. Desirably, a narrow helical conduit connects the primary pressure relief device to the container interior and, by being in thermal contact with the tubular component, chills the contents during venting so as to further minimise loss. One or more secondary pressure relief devices such as bursting discs may also be incorporated to vent substantially the whole contents in the event that the primary pressure relief device fails to maintain the internal pressure below a safe predetermined level. <IMAGE>

Title: Extracting normal incidence signals in surface roughness measurement
Inventor: MILANA EMILIO
IPC: G01B11/30
Filed: 1983-03-15
Abstract: A beam of coherent monochromatic radiation is directed at the surface of a workpiece P to be checked, particularly a workpiece with a cylindrical surface, so as to effect a linear raster scanning cycle along adjacent parallel zones of the workpiece surface. The specular component of the radiation scattered by each point of the workpiece surface examined during the scanning cycle is passed to a photoelectric sensor 21 arranged to provide at its output a signal indicative of the intensity of this component. An electronic processing circuit 32 comprising a microprocessor processes and compares the signal outputs provided by the photoelectrical sensor, identifies the maximum value signal corresponding to the condition in which the beam of incident radiation is perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece, and processes such a signal in order to obtain an indication of the degree of roughness of the workpiece to be checked.   The scanning cycle is accomplished using an optical system through which the radiation is directed at the surface of the workpiece P, comprising a cylindrical lens 26 and two mirrors 16, 22 angularly displaceable the first 16 in successive predetermined angular steps and the second 22 in a continuous oscillating manner at a predetermined frequency. <IMAGE>

IPC: C11D3/00
Filed: 1983-04-08
Abstract: A heavy duty bleaching or whitening and textile softening particulate synthetic organic detergent composition includes a combination of anionic and nonionic organic detergents, a builder or mixture of builders, an oxygen releasing bleaching agent and agglomerated essentially grit-free bentonite of certain particle sizes. Preferred compositions also include higher fatty acid soap, fluorescent brightener, water soluble builder for the anionic detergent, colourant, enzyme and perfume. In such products the agglomerated bentonite will preferably be of larger particle sizes than particles of the other detergent composition components (including particles of mixed components) and may be desirably coloured with a bluing agent. The bentonite employed will be essentially free of gritty particles of material sometimes found with bentonite, as it occurs in nature. Such particles are removable from the bentonite prior to agglomeration, by a described process.

Title: Electrical switch for actuation by motor vehicle doors
Inventor: MERTEN GUNTER
IPC: H01H13/18
Filed: 1983-11-10
Abstract: A switch comprises a housing 1 which contains a plunger 2 capable of being thrust axially inwards against a spring 3. The plunger 2 has, fixed to it, a terminal tang 7 with shoulders extending radially out beyond the diameter of the plunger 2. The switch is closed when the shoulders make conductive contact with the bottom 4 of the housing 1. The housing 1 itself is made of an electrically non-conductive synthetic resin, but a conductor 8b is provided for carrying the current, made of a corrosion-resistant material such as brass, copper or the like. The conductor 8b extends, on the outer surface of the switch housing 1, all the way from a screw-hole (10, fig 1) for taking an attachment screw which secures the switch to the frame of the vehicle, to a contacting point where the metal terminal tang 7 makes contact with the housing bottom 4, when the switch is closed. The plunger 2 may be sealed against the inner wall 11 of the housing 1 by an internal low-friction sealing ring or sealing disc 12. The seal can, for example, be injection-moulded integrally with the plunger 2. When the plunger 2 is actuated, the sealing ring or disc 12 slides along over the inner surface 11 of the switch housing 1. The sealing ring 12 can very well take the form of a leaf seal, preferably with two sealing lips (12a, 12b, fig 3a) extending radially outwards from the plunger 2. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1983-11-15
Abstract: A payload can be transferred between two relatively movable stations for example two ships 10, 12 using a winch system having an inhaul winch 30 and an outhaul winch 32. The barrel of the outhaul winch is driven by an outhaul motor through a torque convertor such that the outhaul winch provides pull on the trolley 16 regardless of the sense of rotation of the outhaul winch barrel. A control system is used to control the speed of the inhaul winch barrel either to retrieve cable or to pay out cable. Thus, the speed of the trolley 16 is controlled by the speed at which the inhaul winch barrel is driven. The outhaul winch either can be at same station as the inhaul winch or can be at the opposite station to the inhaul winch. <IMAGE>
