Title: A method and apparatus for testing the response of a stress wave sensor
IPC: G01H3/00
Filed: 1989-04-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for testing the response of a stress wave sensor (10) to confirm that the transducer (12) and amplifier (20) are functioning satisfactorily. A pulser (24) is connected to the stress wave sensor (10) at a point between the transducer (12) and the amplifier (20). The pulser (24) supplies a first and a second electrical pulse in series to the stress wave sensor (10).

The first electrical pulse and the additional electrical pulse are supplied to the amplifier (20). An operative amplifier amplifies the first electrical pulse and any additional pulse to give an output signal, the output signal indicates if either the transducer or amplifier are not operating satisfactorily, The lack of an output signal indicates the amplifier is inoperative. The second electrical pulse has a predetermined amplitude and is supplied to the amplifier, and is amplified by an operative amplifier to give a measure of the gain of the amplifier.

Title: Flashback arrestor
IPC: A62C4/02
Filed: 1992-11-11
Abstract: In a flashback arrestor unit for welding equipment or the like, a heat-sensitive valve, through which gas is supplied and which operates in the event of substantial or prolonged overheating of the equipment, comprises a permanent magnet (44) and a valve closure (38, 34, 36) of magnetically susceptible material acted upon by a spring (40) which is normally overcome by the force of attraction of the magnet on the valve closure, thereby to keep the valve open.
