Title: Panel distribution method
Inventor: TAZOU KEN
IPC: B65G47/50
Filed: 1996-05-08
Abstract: A method of distributing panels P1 from a transfer press into first and second baskets 73a, 73b via a panel distribution system including a vertical two-directional delivery conveyor 40 for delivering panels to either an upper conveyor 50 or lower conveyor 60 for transferring the panels to either the first basket 73a at the upper level or the second basket 73b at the lower level, wherein the speed of the transfer press is slowed down in response to a final number of panels left to be loaded into the baskets, whereafter the delivery conveyor 40 is fixed to deliver the remaining panels into the basket 73a at the upper level. The method increases the storage density of the baskets so as to avoid the occurrence of a condition in which several panels are left unloaded as a result of loading a few odd panels while the delivery conveyor is fixed to one of its two alternative positions. Also disclosed is a plurality of panel delivery units disposed on a panel conveyance line for pushing out panels in a lateral direction from the conveyance line (Figures 1-9). Also disclosed is a system which comprises a pair of juxtaposed vertical two-directional delivery conveyors and a pair of juxtaposed upper and lower loading stations, the delivery conveyors and loading stations jointly defining a straight conveyance line (Figures 10-19).

Title: Method of operating an i.c. engine; fuel is injected early during engine braking to cool fuel injection nozzles
Inventor: SCHMIDT ERWIN
IPC: F02D9/06
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: In a method for operating an internal-combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine, with injection valves, with inlet valves and outlet valves, in the compression phase fuel is injected into a piston chamber and the fuel/air mixture is ignited. Then, the exhaust gas formed is ejected, via the outlet valves, and during a braking operation, a brake valve provided for the braking operation is opened. In order to cool injection nozzles of the injection valves, during the braking operation of the internal-combustion engine, after the inlet valves have closed, fuel is injected at a time of the compression phase which is so early that a fuel/air mixture cannot yet be ignited. For example, fuel may be injected before 60 degrees before TDC. Fuel may be injected after TDC as an alternative to, or in addition to, early injection. The invention prevents overheating damage to injection valves, in particular the nozzle caps of injection valves, and allows the cross-section of the braking flap to be increased, thus reducing its sensitivity and increasing air flow volume.
Patent GB-2345989-A (GB)
Title: Executing defined sequences of prolog instructions.
Inventor: KEY ANDREW
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 1999-01-23
Abstract: Instructions that are likely to cause program execution to jump to one or more functions comprising recognised sequences of prolog instructions are identified by a compiler or a preprocessor and replaced with modified jump instructions. The recognised sequences of prolog instructions are stored in a logic module. The logic module is arranged to intercept the modified jump instructions during program execution and supply the corresponding sequence of prolog instructions directly to the processor. By this means, function calls that generate program branches to addresses that are not in an instruction cache need not stall the processor as a result of the cache miss. The compiler or preprocessor may be further arranged to detect and modify the first instruction of known epilog code to be handled by the logic module in the same way.
Patent GB-2337816-A (GB)
Title: Alarm apparatus for signalling absence of a liquid
Inventor: FURBER JOHN
IPC: F04B53/04
Filed: 1999-01-26
Abstract: The apparatus comprises an alarm body having a inlet port 12 and an outlet port 11, the inlet port in liquid communication with a source of liquid, the outlet port in liquid communication with a use locus. The body contains a float chamber 13 placed in liquid parallel communication with the inlet port 12 and the outlet port 11 and containing a float 16 operably connected to an alarm. The float 16, with the chamber 13 filled with fluid, disables the switch from generating a signal, and, as the chamber is emptied of liquid, reaches a position and is detected energizing the switch to send a "low or empty product" signal. The apparatus operates by passing liquid through the body. As liquid in the source of liquid is depleted and is no longer available for passage through the body, it, including the chamber 13, empties.

Patent GB-2338358-A (GB)
Title: High intensity discharge lamp ballast
Inventor: GREENWOOD SIMON RICHARD
IPC: H05B41/38
Filed: 1999-03-03
Abstract: In a ballast inverter for an HID lamp 19, alternately conducting MOSFETs 9, 10 initially operate at a relatively high frequency (> 20KHz) so that an L-C circuit 17, 18 is driven at its resonant frequency, or at a harmonic, and develops sufficient voltage to start the lamp 19. After a predetermined time, MOSFETs 9, 10 switch at a lower frequency (< 1KHz) for normal operation during which the lamp current approximates a square wave AC with high frequency ripple (Fig.3) due to the action of a current limiter formed by a comparator 5 which compares the output from a lamp current sensing transformer 20 with a reference. The drive 6 for MOSFETs 9, 10 is repeatedly disabled and enabled as the lamp current rises above and falls below the reference level. Additional MOSFETs (28, 29, Fig.6) may be incorporated to form a full bridge inverter, MOSFETs (28,29) not being subject to the action of the current limiter 5, 20. Instead of MOSFETs 9, 10 being in series with one another across the DC supply, they may be connected across the DC supply in series with respective diodes, each MOSFET 9, 10 being coupled to end B of lamp 19 through a respective inductor 17, (17R, Fig.4). A constant DC supply voltage may be provided by a power factor controlling circuit (Fig.7). Variations in the DC voltage supply current may be sensed by a circuit (46, 51) which varies the reference at comparator 5 so that if the lamp arc voltage, and thus the lamp power, changes due to ageing or temperature, the comparator's reference is varied in a manner to maintain constant power. The DC supply current sensor (46, 51) may be connected to a shutdown circuit (Fig. 8) which turns off lamp current in response to excessive lamp arc voltage due to an ageing or faulty lamp.

Patent GB-2357334-A (GB)
Title: Opto-electronic position sensor
Inventor: WEBSTER PETER BRYAN
IPC: G01D5/34
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: A positional sensor includes a slide 1 with an aperture 5 which moves between two masks 2 and 3 with aligned apertures 4 and 6. The movement of the slide acts to restrict the path of light from a light sensor 7 to a photo detector 8, the output of the photo detector is related to the position of the slide 1 relative to the apertures 4 and 6 in the masks 2 and 3. The output of the photo detector 8 is at a maximum when all apertures 4,5 and 6 are aligned and reduces when the slide aperture 5 is moved either side of that position. The output of the photo detector 8 can be converted into an appropriate signal 16 using a signal conditioning unit 15 and used to drive a comparitor circuit 17 to indicate both a "GO" and "NO GO" position with an indicator 21 (e.g. a Light Emitting Diode). The signal 16 can also be used to drive a positional readout 19 or used to drive an Analogue to Digital converter 19 for use by a computer with a Statistical Process Control (SPC) package 20.
