Title: Cladding a Metal Substrate by Build-Up Arc Welding Deposition
IPC: B23K35/30
Filed: 1979-01-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of cladding a metal substrate by build- up arc welding deposition using a consumable electrode wire or strip 6, in which method tendency for transverse plasma wind to blow away added metal powder at the weld zone is eliminated by presenting said metal powder in a paste form such as that, 4, laid over the substrate. In examples given the paste comprises finely divided metal particles in a viscous binder. As shown, arc-submerging flux 13 is fed to the weld zone by way of hoppers 12. In a specific example, mild steel is clad with an alloy of, in wt.%, 22.5 Cr, 7.5 W, 1.5 Si, 0.85 Mn, 3.5 C, balance Fe and impurity, said alloy being derived from a mild steel electrode and alloy constituents in the paste. <IMAGE>

Title: Pipeline capsules having pivotal support wheels
IPC: B65G51/06
Filed: 1980-01-21
Abstract: A capsule for a pneumatic pipeline system is supported on pivotally mounted single large support wheels 5 at each end. Stabilisation of the capsule about its roll axis may be by one of the following methods:   a. A support wheel 5 is carried on a pivot with a mass 7 attached forwardly of the pivot axis so that forces outside of the plane of the wheel will generate a force to align the plane of the wheel with the plane of the resultant force. b. A support wheel is carried on a pivot and guide wheels disposed perpendicular to the support wheel axis sense lateral motion of the capsule whenever the resultant force acts outside of the plane of the support wheel. c. A support wheel is carried on a pivot capable of lateral movement in response to forces outside of the plane of the wheel in such manner that the wheel adopts an angle which will realign the main wheel plane with the resultant forces. d. Small wheels are carried on the same axle as a support wheel and at either side of it and which contact the wall of the pipeline on tilting of the capsule and generate drag acting to rotate the support wheel about its pivot axis.   <IMAGE>

Title: Corrosion inhibitors, method of producing them and protective coatings containing them
IPC: C09K15/02
Filed: 1980-02-01
Abstract: Corrosion inhibiting particles comprise an inorganic oxide, particularly alumina, having corrosion inhibiting anions, particularly phosphate, chromate or benzoate anions, chemically bound to them. They may be prepared by contacting an oxide containing hydroxyl groups with an acidic solution containing the anions at ambient temperatures. The particles may be incorporated into protective coatings, e.g. paints based on epoxy resins, alkyd resins or chlorinated rubbers, in amounts up to 80%wt based on dry film weight, giving coatings with up to 4.0% corrosion inhibiting anions. Release of the anions is by ion- exchange with other anions, e.g. the chloride anions of sea water or salt spray, and does not, as is normal with corrosion inhibiting coatings, depend on water solubility.

Patent GB-2055233-A (GB)
Title: Data processing system including a cache store
IPC: G06F12/0862
Filed: 1978-11-24
Abstract: A data processing system includes a main memory system 3, a high speed buffer cache store, a central processor unit (CPU) and an Input/Output processor (IOP) all connected to a system bus. Apparatus in the cache store reads all information on the system bus into a first in, first out buffer comprising a plurality of registers, a write address counter, a read address counter and a means for selectively processing the information. The cache store is word oriented and further comprises a directory 202, a data buffer 201 and associated control logic. The CPU requests data words by sending a main memory address of the requested data word to the cache store. If the cache store does not have the requested data word, apparatus in the cache store requests the data word from the main memory system, and in addition, the apparatus requests additional data words from consecutively higher addresses. If the main memory system is busy, the cache store has apparatus to request fewer words. The cache store is organized in levels. Data from a particular portion of main memory is transferred to these levels on a first in-first out basis. Apparatus in the form of round robin logic circuitry makes the first in-first out level selection. Apparatus also exists for resetting the round robin count during the initialization procedure. Apparatus in the cache store monitors each communication between system units to determine if it is a communication from a system unit to the main memory system which will update a word location in main memory. If that word location is also stored in the cache store then the word location in the cache store will be updated in addition to the word location in main memory. <IMAGE>
