Patent GB-2270018-A (GB)
Title: Tool chuck
Inventor: CUNEO GUISEPPE L
IPC: B23B31/107
Filed: 1992-08-28
Abstract: The chuck (74) for a tool (100) has a bore (88) for reception of the tool shank (102), the shank and bore having respective interengagable non-circular sections (106, 92) for torque transmission, and cylindrical sections (102, 88) for alignment of the axis of the tool with a rotation axis of the chuck. The chuck also has balls (86) which are axially fixed and radially inwardly biased towards a circumferential groove (110) of the shank. The tool is thus retained in the chuck in a fixed axial position. The groove has a pro-determined axial separation (d) from the tip (105) of the tool, whereby the balls (86) constitute a datum point for the axial position of the tip of tools in the chuck, which can be employed in a machining centre (10, Fig. 1, not shown). <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for correction tempering rolling part
Inventor: HIRAKAWA KIYOSHI
IPC: C21D9/40
Filed: 1995-08-23
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for correction tempering a rolling part, in which the thermal treatment deformation of a steel rolling part is corrected in a very short period of time by utilizing the plasticity thereof occurring during the progress of variation of metallographic structure due to the low-temperature tempering of the same part. A rolling part (1A) which has been quenched is placed in correction molds (2, 3) and thermally pressurized at a maximum arrival temperature of 250-500{C by a heating means. Thus, the deformation of the part is corrected at a processing rate within the range in which this part remains in its elasticity region at room temperature. When the part is heated, a high-frequency induction hearing means can also be used besides a heat transfer hearing means. A product requiring a correction time of within 6 minutes, or not more than 30 seconds when a high-frequency induction heating means is used, and having an inner and outer diameter deviation correction rate of not less than 60 %, a dimension uniformity rate of not less than 30 %, a surface toughness Ra of less than 0.2 m and a surface hardness HRC of not less than 56 is obtained.
Patent GB-2297971-A (GB)
Title: Ceramic materials and method of manufacturing such materials
Inventor: ANDERSON MICHAEL
IPC: C04B33/135
Filed: 1994-10-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of mixing incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) and pulverised fuel ash (PFA) so as to produce a raw material suitable for producing building articles such as bricks, tiles or bloated aggregates. A problem with the incineration of sewage sludge to reduce the bulk prior to disposal, is that on incineration of the sludge, heavy metals normally present in raw sewage, are able to survive combustion and may subsequently be concentrated in the ash formed as a combustion residue. This has been undesirable from both an environmental and a health position. The present invention overcomes this problem by utilising a technique of entrapping such toxic species within the fired product, thereby minimising their release. Furthermore, because the heavy metals are entrapped within the bulk of the brick, slab or aggregate, they do not leach from the matrix of the building article and are therefore able to be used in a wider range of applications.
