Patent GB-2173146-A (GB)
Title: Method of making striking implements
Inventor: CURTIS MICHAEL EDWARD
IPC: B29C33/52
Filed: 1986-03-10
Abstract: A striking implement (e.g. a hockey stick) comprising a hollow striking member and a separate hollow handle member is made by injecting a fibre-reinforced thermoplastics material around a fusible core, allowing the injected material to set, melting out the fusible core and subsequently joining the moulded hollow striking portion to the moulded hollow handle portion. The striking member and handle member are made of different thermoplastic materials. At least one of the fusible cores may be provided with a through-slot so that the injected material sets therein to produce a corresponding internal strut in the finished moulding. The method can be used to produce other sports implements (e.g. sticks for polo, ice-hockey or hurling) and other striking implements (e.g. bats, hammers, mallets, batons or truncheons).

Title: Franking machine incorporating ink-jet printer and microprocessor for accounting and control
Inventor: GILHAM DENNIS THOMAS
IPC: B41J2/005
Filed: 1988-06-15
Abstract: Printing is effected by ejecting droplets of ink from ink filled nozzles by means of selectively heatable elements which vaporise the ink or a constituent thereof to the rear of the nozzles and thereby eject the ink droplets. The nozzles may be stationary and be supplied with ink through a common pipe connected to a reservoir or the nozzles may be constituted by pores in a belt which is driven through an ink reservoir and then past the heatable elements. Microprocessor 10 interrogates accounting data storage devices 13 to determine whether there is sufficient credit available for the franking. It also outputs a drive control signal via input/output device 16 to energise drive motor 17 for mail-item feed roll 18 and print control signals to buffer store 19 corresponding to the energisation of the heating elements required to effect printing. These print control signals are read out in synchronism with the mail-item feed and the printed pattern is formed column by column as the mail passes the printer. <IMAGE>

Title: Magnetron RF generation for electron paramagnetic resonance
Inventor: GREENSLADE DAVID JOHN
IPC: H03B9/10
Filed: 1989-07-27
Abstract: In a method of electron spin resonance spectroscopy using a magnetron to generate high energy microwave pulses, the magnetron is first conditioned by applying a first anode voltage just below the Hartree voltage, and of such a value that no substantial cathode-to-anode conduction takes place, and then, when the magnetron has stabilized, one or more second brief high voltage pulses are applied to generate corresponding rapid high-energy pulses of microwave radiation with less chance of damaging the magnetron than in the absence of the first voltage. The first voltage is maintained until the last high-voltage pulse has been applied, and then is removed or converted to an opposite polarity voltage at the same time as the removal of the last high voltage pulse, to reduce residual oscillation. If a weak priming signal for phase control is applied to the magnetron, that too is removed at the same time. An echo signal may be generated using two spaced pulses. <IMAGE>

Title: Optical pyrometer
Inventor: JOHN LAURENCE NICHOLAS
IPC: G01J3/12
Filed: 1990-08-07
Abstract: An optical pyrometer has a diffraction grating 3 which disperses radiation from a hot chamber 2 into a linear spectrum 31 of its component wavelengths. A vibrating beam 41 of a silicon microstructure 4 is excited by an optical source 44 to move along the spectrum and block passage of different wavelengths to a single photodiode 50 on which the radiation is focussed. A processor 51 receives the output of the photodiode 50 together with an output from the source 44 indicative of the position of the vibrating beam 41 along the spectrum and from this produces an output representative of the temperature of the chamber 2. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2247629-A (GB)
Title: Target (e.g.dart-) boards
Inventor: LEACH JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: F41J3/00
Filed: 1990-09-03
Abstract: Target boards, for darts and the like, are sometimes constructed as an assembly of compressed fibres made from a plastics material such as polypropylene laid at right angles to the playing surface and heat fused together at their rear, the whole then being bonded onto some form of rigid base. However, this has proved unsatisfactory in practice, and the invention proposes an improved arrangement wherein the fibres (2) are embedded at the rear (20) in a suitable first resin (usually a relatively mobile one, so that it is drawn up between the fibres), which is then cured/set. Preferably the whole is then provided at its rear with, and mounted on, a base (4) formed of a second, more viscous resin. <IMAGE>
