Title: Packaging of articles
Inventor: RICHARDSON MARTIN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B65D81/113
Filed: 1989-10-24
Abstract: A set of ceramicware articles (e.g. a toilet bowl, water cistern for the toilet bowl, hand basin and pedestal for the hand basin) is packaged in a generally cuboid pack 14 of foamed polystyrene within a heat shrunk plastics film e.g. bag, overwrap 16 or banding. The pack is formed of three parts, namely a base 20 on which the ceramicware articles are supported, and two opposed side parts or cheeks 22, 24 between which the articles extend, the parts having recesses in which the articles are located. The side parts are supported on the base part and located in relation to it by pegs 30 and cooperating notches. They are spaced apart to allow the ceramicware articles to be seen, but have coplanar top faces 40 together forming a stacking surface on which a like package may be stacked in a stable manner which is not affected by any differential settlement of the ceramicware articles. The base part has elongate feet 26 or a set of nine bottom projections (Fig. 3) permitting fork lift access. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2238356-A (GB)
Title: Gas turbine engine fuel control system
Inventor: BOSTON JAMES LEONARD
IPC: F02C9/28
Filed: 1989-11-25
Abstract: The throttle fuel flow of an aircraft jet engine is controlled by means of a digital electronic control unit 32 by measuring the actual value of an engine parameter demand and measuring the error between the actual value and a value of the parameter demand calculated from a number of engine operating data. The error is then used to drive an integrating fuel throttle valve 38 until the error is substantially zero. The engine parameter chosen may be the high pressure compressor delivery mach number and the operating data may include high pressure compressor delivery pressure, low pressure spool speed, and turbine blade temperature. The valve 38 is characterized by its opening/closing rate being proportional to the error signal. The system is stated to be advantageous in terms of weight, reliability and cost. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2249929-A (GB)
Title: Digital data separator
Inventor: NESIN RICHARD
IPC: H04L7/033
Filed: 1992-01-20
Abstract: A data separator produces a reference clock from encoded data through the use of digital logic that simulates the operation of an analog phase-locked loop. The digital phase-locked loop includes a counter oscillator (14) that develops a period value which is incrementally modified in accordance with time variations in the input data to maintain the regenerated data in proper phase relationship with the clock. The counter oscillator comprises a zero-crossing counter which supplies a reference clock signal (EC) to a clock and data regeneration circuit (16). The counter is incremented until its count is equal to the previously computed normal period value. The counter is latched by a synchronized input data pulse (SYNCDT) and the latched value represents the required period adjustment. As the data is synchronized with the reference clock the value of this adjustment (DBUS) approaches zero. The circuit also includes a digital low-pass filter (18) that comprises a memory element that allows the new phase correction data to be added to the time-weighted previous period data. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2254636-A (GB)
Title: Controlling the cross-linking reaction of an aqueous fracturing fluid
Inventor: DAWSON JEFFREY C
IPC: C08B37/00
Filed: 1992-04-01
Abstract: In a method for providing controlled delay and improved high temperature gel stability of borated fracturing fluids, a base fluid is first prepared by blending together an aqueous fluid and a hydratable polymer which is capable of gelling in the presence of borate ions. The complexor is prepared by mixing a cross-linking additive capable of furnishing borate ions in solution with a delay additive. The delay additive is effective, within a selected pH range, to chemically bond with both boric acid and the borate ions produced by the cross-linking additive to thereby limit the number of borate ions initially available in solution for subsequent cross-linking of the hydratable polysaccharide. In addition to providing more precise control of the delay time, the complexor provides a reserve of borate which provides improved gel stability at higher temperatures.

Title: A device for adjusting vehicle seats
Inventor: MITSCHELEN ROLF
IPC: B60N2/04
Filed: 1992-06-09
Abstract: A device for adjusting vehicle seats, in particular motor vehicle seats has link mechanisms 14, 15 which, for the adjustable securement of the seat to the vehicle floor on a seat cushion-receiving seat frame 12 of the seat, act near to the front and rear end of the seat frame upon its longitudinal sides. A locking unit 28 (Figs. 2 and 3), engages into at least one link mechanism 19, for blocking the seat in a desired seat position. For the purpose of adjusting the seat in the longitudinal direction in a straight line or with superimposed adjustment for height and inclination, and for extreme displacement of the seat for the purpose of facilitating passage to the rear seating positions in the case of two-door vehicles, each of the two front and rear link mechanisms 14, 15 exhibits a link 19 pivotably mounted on the seat frame and two mutually intersecting cross-links 20-23. The cross-links 20-23 are attached by their one end to the link at a distance from its bearing point 24 or 25 and are pivotably secured by their other end, at a distance apart, on the vehicle floor side. The locking unit 28 acts, in this case, upon a link 19. <IMAGE>

Title: Vehicle suspension regulation system
Inventor: BREITENBACHER JUERGEN
IPC: B60G23/00
Filed: 1992-10-02
Abstract: A system for active or semi-active suspension regulation in a vehicle comprises a regulating loop in which regulating parameters (RP) for regulation of the suspension properties are varied in dependence on the travel state, ascertained by sensors (111 to 114) of the vehicle. In particular, magnitudes are ascertained by measuring and evaluating devices (101 to 104), for use in recognition of the vehicle travel state, which represent the vertically dynamic movement state of the vehicle and/or the individual driving style of the driver. Such magnitudes can be derived from, for example, sensed relative movements between the vehicle body and at least one wheel unit of the vehicle. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2263623-A (GB)
Title: Seat belt retractor
Inventor: FUJIMURA YOSHIICHI
IPC: B60R22/40
Filed: 1993-01-29
Abstract: A seat belt retractor has a main pawl (17) which has a boss portion (1 7b) rotatably fitted in a recess (4n) provided in an end flange (4b) of the belt reel. Moreover, a load transfer surface (1 7e) on the pawl abuts on a load bearing surface (4j) formed on a portion (4k) of the end flange (4b). Thus, when during an emergency the teeth (17c) of the pawl are engaged with teeth on the retractor frame to lock the belt reel, the load (w) applied to the pawl (17) is transferred via the load transfer surface (17e) to the load bearing surface (4j) and borne by the belt reel. Since teeth (17c), which serve as a point of application of load, and the load transfer surface (17e) are relatively close to each other, the main paw (17) is subjected to substantially only a compressive force. Moreover, since the load transfer surface (17e) and the load bearing surface (4j) are in surface contact with each other over a wide area, only relatively small stresses are produced in the paw (17). A similar set up is provided at the other end flange of the belt reel (Figs. 9(a), 9(b)). <IMAGE>

Title: A harness producing apparatus and a harness producing method
Inventor: TAMURA YOSHIKAZU
IPC: H01R43/05
Filed: 1993-02-24
Abstract: A wire-travelling path between feed rollers 111 and an intermediate stripping unit 200 is set by an adjusting unit 100 disposed therebetween so that the distance of a wire 50 from a cutting-off position of cutters 141 to a cutting-into position of cutters 202 is equal to the sum of the length of the cutting-off wire and the distance from the end of the cutting-off wire to one end of the intermediate stripped area of the wire. If the wire 50 is fed by the length to be cut off, the wire 50 can be positioned simultaneously at the cutters 141 and 202. Consequently, it is possible to carry out only one step of feeding and resting of the feed rollers 111 in a cycle of operation and to reduce the rest period from the time when the feed rollers rest to the time of a following treatment, thereby producing a harness efficiently. <IMAGE>
