Title: Applying revenue stamps to packs
Inventor: FOCKE HEINZ
IPC: B65B11/28
Filed: 1989-10-11
Abstract: In applying revenue stamps (for duty or sealing) to faces of parallelepipedal packs (eg. cigarette packs) in which the revenue stamps also extend into the region of at least one further face of the pack, the packs (10) are conveyed continuously with their longitudinal axes pointing transversely to the direction of conveyance. During conveyance, the packs (10) are shifted transversely to the direction of conveyance for taking over a revenue stamp, with the end face pointing in the direction of shift. For each pack (10), one revenue stamp (11) is held ready in the region of the transverse shift in a plane parallel with the end face. During the transverse shift, the pack (10) is moved through the plane of the revenue stamp (11) taking it along by the end face (12).

Abstract: Disclosed is a water-soluble extract obtained from Pittosporaceae and effective for the treatment for diabetes and liver complaints, which mainly contains vitamin B12, vitamin B2, saponin and tannin and which exhibits the following characteristic absorption in the infrared region of the spectrum: strong absorption bands at 1050 - 1070 cm<-1>, 1620 cm<-1>, 2950 cm<-1> and 3450 cm<-1>; and relatively strong absorption bands at 520 cm<-1>, 780 cm<-1>, 1250 cm<-1>, 1320 cm<-1>, 1380 - 1440 cm<-1> (doublet), 1735 cm<-1> and 2850 cm<-1>. It is prepared by separating a mixture of dry powder of Pittosporaceae and water into the two layers of a solution layer and a precipitate layer by leaving the mixture as it is; removing the precipitate layer; concentrating the solution layer under reduced pressure at low temperatures of not more than about 40 DEG C to prepare a concentrated solution; and freeze-drying the concentrated solution to prepare a powder.
Patent GB-2226429-A (GB)
Title: Valves
Inventor: DURRANT DAVID KENNETH
IPC: F16K31/34
Filed: 1989-10-23
Abstract: A fluid flow control valve has its actuating force provided by the fluid supply pressure of the fluid flowing into the valve. The actuation of the valve is by the differential force acting on opposite sides of a valve member (7) which moves relatively to a valve seating (12) to control the fluid flow. The valve member (7) has opposing end faces (8, 9) of different effective areas. The larger area end face (8) forms a chamber (10) with the valve body part (6) past the outside of which chamber (10) fluid flows when the valve is open. The lower area end face (9) faces the valve seating (12). A first leakage path (11) is provided into the chamber (10) so that the fluid pressure in the chamber (10) equalises to that of the supply pressure. A second leakage path (15) is provided from the chamber (10) to downstream of the seating (12). The second leakage path (15) is controllable such that the fluid in the chamber (10) can escape to cause the differential forces acting on the valve member (7) to change and thus change the position of the valve member (10) relative to the seating (12). <IMAGE>

Title: Hydraulic ram pump
Inventor: TANG CHING-HWA
IPC: F04F7/02
Filed: 1990-02-15
Abstract: A prime mover for delivering water from a water source (1) (Fig 2), which converts potential energy of stored water into kinetic energy to force water flow to interchange with the compressed air in a pressure cylinder thus permitting the compressed air pressure to force water flow to discharge out of the pressure cylinder. Water entering a chambers is deflected by a plate 6 to surge against the piston 17 of a spring-loaded valve, opening the latter to allow water into a chamber 19 and compressing the air therein. An increasing pressure closes the valve, the air pressure then forcing water from the chamber 19 through an outlet 191. Continued operation is by reciprocation of the valve piston. <IMAGE>
