Title: Electric radiant heater unit for a glass ceramic top cooker
IPC: H05B1/02
Filed: 1981-07-09
Abstract: An electric radiant heater unit for a glass ceramic top cooker comprises two independently energisable heater elements (10 and 12) supported on a base (4) of electrical and thermal insulation material. A thermal cut-out device (16), for example of the differential expansion type, extends from a peripheral wall (8) of the unit across one element (101 and across a zone normally occupied by at least a part of the other element (12). However, that zone of the heater unit heated by the one element (10) is extended to influence substantially the entire effective length of the cut-out device (16), that is including that portion of the cut-out device which extends across the zone normally occupied by at least a part of the other element. This may be done by forming an alcove by means of an arch in a dividing wall 14 and a tunnel 34 or by forming an extension of the one element (10). <IMAGE>

Title: Cable gland connector with a safeguard against inadvertent loosening
Inventor: PIEWITT GUNTER
IPC: H02G3/06
Filed: 1982-07-12
Abstract: A cable gland connector for line lead-ins on electrical appliances comprises a pressure applying member (12) which screws onto a cable inlet (3) to secure a cable (14) therein. Rotation of the tightened pressure member is prevented by sliding a sleeve (5) over the cable inlet so that a central recess (8) in the sleeve is pushed over a complementary projection (13) on the pressure member. The sleeve is held in this position, against axial displacement, by a crosspin (10) on a clamping ring (9) which engages a recess (7) on a rib 4 of the cable inlet. Inadvertent loosening of the connection is thus prevented. <IMAGE>

Title: Load tripping circuits
Inventor: ALDER JOHN
IPC: H02H3/093
Filed: 1983-04-29
Abstract: A load tripping circuit arrangement comprises an oscillator (OSC) the output frequency of which is a linear function of the load current. It also includes pulse generating means (BC) responsive to the output from the oscillator (OSC) to produce a first square-wave pulse output (SQ1) the frequency of which is dependent upon load current and a second square-wave output (SQ2) the frequency of which is an integral multiple of the frequency of the first square-wave pulse output (SQ1). The outputs (SQ1 and SQ2) are fed to a timing circuit (TC) in which the pulses of the first square-wave pulse output (SQ1) are effectively compared with those of a pre-set rectangular-wave pulse output (RW). Pulses of the output (SQ2) are gated out during overlap period between pulses of output (SQ1) and output (RW) and the number of gated-out pulses occurring during successive time periods are counted continuously and the load current interrupted if the counted number for a particular time period exceeds the number appropriate to the load current/time delay characteristic of the circuit. <IMAGE>

Title: Battery electrodes
Inventor: KUCERA GERALD
IPC: H01M4/64
Filed: 1984-10-18
Abstract: A method is described for the improvement of the chargability of battery electrodes of secondaries batteries with electrode frameworks of metallised polypropylene or propylene-copolymerisate which resides in that the electrode framework is irreversibly compressed before the impregnation with the active masses of the battery, with a tool which is maintained at a surface temperature of 110 to 180 DEG C, particularly 140 to 115 DEG C to reduce the thickness of the frame by up to 15%, particularly 1 to 5%. By this treatment the internal resistance of the battery cells decreased by up to 50% as compared with cells with untreated electrode frames. Furthermore, cells with untreated electrode frames are less liable to have internal short-circuits.

IPC: B65G1/133
Filed: 1985-03-04
Abstract: A container vehicle floor is provided in sections 1 which are mounted on wheels/castors/ball bearings 3 to enable movement in mutually perpendicular directions. The sections 1 run on and within tracks 6 in a programmed sequence of movements by which complete rotation of each section 1 is achieved within the load space of the vehicle or container. The total number of sections is one or two less than the maximum that the load space can contain so that the sections can be moved by their occupation of a vacant space using a ram 10 which activates a drive rod having hinged one-way detents engageable in slots within the sections. In this way all the sections are therefore accessible in turn at a door to the cargo space. <IMAGE>

Title: Solder preforms
Inventor: CHERIAN GABE
IPC: H05K3/40
Filed: 1986-08-01
Abstract: A chip carrier mounting device which is hereinafter also referred to as an "interconnection preform placement device" includes a retaining member having a predetermined pattern of apertures in which are positioned preforms of joint-forming material such as solder. The preform retains its general configuration after the interconnection or soldering process to form a resilient joint which is more capable of withstanding stress, strain and fatique. A method of forming resilient interconnections comprises placing the interconnection retaining member device between parallel patterns of electrically conductive elements, such as the conductive pads on an electronic component and a circuit board, and effecting the bonding of the conductive elements with the preforms. The joint-forming material may be a filled solder composition or a supported solder which substantially maintain their physical shape when the solder is molten, or a conductive elastomer.
