Title: Load break switch
Inventor: BARKAN PHILIP
IPC: H01H21/08
Filed: 1984-04-09
Abstract: A single-phase ground enclosed load break switch (205) for distribution voltages has a hermetically sealed cylindrical metal housing (210) of from 2 to 6 inches diameter which contains an insulating gas under pressure. The switch has a movable contact assembly (219) to contact a pair of opposed stationary coaxial conductors (224, 226) within the housing. Movement of the contact assembly (219) along one conductor (224) breaks the connection with the other conductor (226) and simultaneously reduces the sliding contact force on the first conductor (224). The switch has conductive bands (350, 352) coaxially positioned near the housing (210) around the conductors for low voltage measurements monitoring conductor energization and contact position. A rocking bellows (266) at the fulcrum of a crank actuator (264) provides a compact hermetic seal for the actuator without excessive strain of the bellows. A safety interlock with a visual indicator (318) locks the contact assembly in case of a loss of pressure. Excessive pressure in the switch (205) causes the bellows (266) to be punctured with consequent locking of the contact assembly. The switch (205) is small enough to be mounted directly on a transformer or placed into a cable, without the need for a separate enclosure.

Title: Deployment of flexible elongate members
Inventor: MANK JAMES LEON
IPC: E21B33/035
Filed: 1985-07-19
Abstract: A method of deploying an inextensible flexible elongate member, such as a control umbilical 16 (Fig. 1), between a termination 15' on a sub-sea structure 15 and a floating vessel 19 stationed substantially above it, comprises suspending from a fixed support 17 in 'free deployment' a length of umbilical 16 in excess of their straight line separation, the excess length accommodating higher amplitude heave motions than conventional constant tension devices. The tendency of excess umbilical to fall back, adjacent the termination, onto the structure and with a sharp radius of bend is eliminated by provided positive buoyancy over a lower portion 19 of the umbilical by means of equally buoyant buoys spaced at exponentially increasing distances apart from the termination. <IMAGE>

Title: An improved side-lay system
Inventor: SHAW ALAN GILBERT
IPC: B65H9/00
Filed: 1985-09-30
Abstract: A side lay mechanism effects lateral registration of a sheet in a sheet handling machine e.g., a printing machine. The mechanism comprises means for advancing the sheet, means for effecting lateral movement of the sheet while it is being advanced and means for controlling the extent of said lateral movement. Thus the sheet 1 advanced through a nip between driven roller 2 and pinch rollers 3 mounted on shaft 5 which also mounts a cam follower 6.

Title: Acoustic detection of targets
Inventor: GLASGOW JOHN ARTHUR
IPC: G01S15/02
Filed: 1985-10-14
Abstract: The time delay in arrival of sound from a target at two sensors A, B is measured, this being indicative of the direction of the target. A similar delay is then imposed on transmission of sound from the same sensors (transceivers) so that the transmission takes place primarily in the direction of the target. During the intervals between transmitted pulses the receiving circuitry receives an enhanced signal and the directional information is more reliable. <IMAGE>

Title: Portable radio telephone power supply
Inventor: O'NEILL SIMON PHILIP
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 1989-04-07
Abstract: An electrical power supply for a hand portable cellular radio telephone having receiver and transmitter stages (3,4) operable at different voltage levels comprises a stack of series-connected rechargeable voltaic coils 5a-5f. In call mode both the receiver 3 and transmitter 4 are powered by the full cell stack developing maximum voltage, e.g. 7.2V. In stand-by the transmitter 4 is disabled by a switch S3 and the receiver 3 is powered by half, a group of, preferably the cells 5a-5c or 5d-5f providing only a portion of, preferably half, the full voltage e.g. 3.6V. Power consumption is thus reduced, e.g. by 10 - 15 mA, in stand-by mode thus increasing battery life. Switches S1 and S2 are operated in tandem in the stand-by mode to connect alternately the first half of the cell stack 5a-5c and then the second half of the cell stack 5d-5f on a periodic basis. <IMAGE>

Title: Portable radio telephone useable with batteries of different types; battery charging
Inventor: POWELL MARK
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1990-04-05
Abstract: A portable cellular telephone 1 is adapted to have removably connected thereto a battery 2 selected from at least two different battery types. The resistance of a resistor 7 in the battery 2 identifies the battery type which can be detected in the telephone 1 by means of a voltage source 10, a voltage sensor 13 and a resistor 11 forming a potential divider with resistor 7. The types of battery may be low and high energy versions of batteries having essentially the same chemical and physical composition, or batteries of different chemical and/or physical composition. When the telephone 1 is coupled to a battery charger, a control signal is generated by a microprocessor 9 so that a charging mode compatible with the battery type in use is established. The microprocessor 9 may disable the telephone if it detects an unrecognisable battery, ie. without a resistor having an expected value. The battery temperature indicated by a thermistor 6 may be used to compensate battery voltage levels monitored during recharging to give a more accurate indication of charge state. <IMAGE>
