Patent GB-913891-A (GB)
IPC: F15B11/048
Abstract: 913,891. Hydraulic apparatus. KEELAVITE CO. Ltd. July 13, 1960 [April 20, 1959], No. 13457/59. Class 69 (2). An hydraulic system comprises a positive-displacement hydraulic motor 1, 2 arranged to be operated through a range of movement in either direction, velocity control means 32, 33, 34, 35, arranged to restrict the flow of fluid to or from the motor to reduce the velocity of the motor during part of its range of movement if the velocity tends to exceed a datum value, and means 57 for varying the datum value in accordance with the position of the motor in the said part of its range of movement. The motor, which may drive a radar antenna, consists of a piston 2 reciprocatable in a cylinder 1 having chambers 6, 7 connected by lines 8, 9 and valves 17, 32, 33, 34, 35 to lines 10, 11 leading from a swash-plate or other type of pump 12 which is driven by an electric motor 13 and has an arm 14 controlled by an electronic device 15 so that as the arm is moved from A to B, the output of the pump is progressively decreased from a maximum in one direction until, in a central position C, the flow ceases and then progressively increases to a maximum in the opposite direction to reciprocate the piston in the cylinder. The valves 32 . . . 35 are only effective at the ends of the stroke of the piston if the piston exceeds its desired stroke. When this occurs, say in the movement of the piston to the right when fluid is supplied from the pump through line 10, valves 32, 33 and line 9 to the chamber 7, a cam 57 is displaced by a projection 61 on a member 62 secured to the rod 3 of the piston to move a piston 56 upwardly and restrict an orifice 55 in the valve 34 to cause a pressure differential in lines 40, 65 connected to opposite sides of a piston 43 in the valve 35, the piston moving downwardly against a spring 46 so that a part 41 restricts an orifice 37 to reduce or stop flow from the chamber 6 of the motor. If the orifice closes, a pressure differential occurs in lines 51, 52 leading from opposite sides of the orifice and acts on a spool 24 in a valve 25 and thereby on the spool 20a of the valve 17 so that the lines 10, 11 from the pump are connected together and the supply to the motor discontinued; the valves 17, 20 are arranged to be returned to their original position under manual control. A pressurerelief valve 48 limits the value of the maximum pressure differential across the piston 43 to limit the deceleration of the piston of the motor. The system is duplicated so that the same control is effected at the other end of the stroke of the piston. A reservoir 66 is provided to replenish losses caused by leakage.

Title: Vapour deposition apparatus and method
Inventor: BISHOP ALAN WILLIAM
IPC: C23C14/24
Filed: 1993-04-02
Abstract: Apparatus for the physical vapour deposition of an alloy whose constituent elements have widely differing vapour pressures comprises an inner evaporation crucible (1) surrounded by a second evaporation crucible (2) having an array of nozzles (9) angled towards collector (5). In use of the apparatus, a charge (5) of relatively low volatility is evaporated from inner crucible (1) using an electron beam (7) focussed by magnet (8). Charge (4) in second crucible (2) is of much higher volatility and is evaporated by radiant heating. The nozzles (9) direct the vapour from charge (4) along pathways which intersect the vapour rising from charge (3) such that the combined vapour steam reaching collector (5) is an intimate mixture of constituents. The nozzles (9) may also serve to control the flow rate of vapour from the second crucible (2). <IMAGE>

Title: Forming hollow articles by using ice cores
Inventor: BONES ROGER JOHN
IPC: B28B1/48
Filed: 1993-04-20
Abstract: The invention provides a method of making a sintered artifact from a sinterable particulate material. An ice core 20 is located in a mass of the particulate material 18, and the particulate material is compressed and consolidated around the core to form a green artifact in which the core is embedded. The core is then removed, preferably by sublimation, from the artifact to leave a cavity therein; and the green artifact is then sintered to produce a sintered unitary artifact having at least one cavity left therein by the core removal. Sublimation may take place through the walls of the hollow artifact or through an opening provided in a wall of the artifact. <IMAGE>

Title: Pinball type game apparatus
Inventor: NAGASAKA YOSHIZO
IPC: A63D13/00
Filed: 1993-09-24
Abstract: Pinball target members 40, 42 etc are mounted on a lower plate 10 and pass through apertures in an upper playing surface (not shown). The lower plate is connected via socket 37, peg 36 and gearing 33, 34 and 35 to an electric motor which thus causes the lower plate to oscillate. By mounting the other end of the lower plate on spigot 39 a complex oscillating motion can be imparted to the target members. This oscillating motion causes the ball in play to be directed about the playing surface in an unpredictable fashion. This oscillating motion also drives a ball transfer device (54 not shown) which moves the ball between two playing zones. <IMAGE>
