Title: Valves
Inventor: MAEGARD CARL WILHELM
IPC: F16K7/14
Filed: 1982-06-11
Abstract: A tidal outfall valve comprises a chamber having an inlet (6) and an oulet (8). One wall of the chamber comprises a diaphragm (10) which can move into contact with a seat (9) to isolate the outlet from the inlet. A weight (18) provided on the diaphragm biasses the diaphragm into this closed position. In use, the valve is closed at high tide by the hydrostatic pressure of sea water acting on the diaphragm. At low tide, the hydrostatic pressure in the inlet to the valve lifts the diaphragm to allow flow to take place from the inlet to the outlet. The valve has uses in other situations where flow is to be controlled in response to the relative pressures at the inlet and in a body of fluid in which the valve is immersed.

Title: Automatic dual compensation grinding wheel conditioner
Inventor: DZEWALTOWSKI VICTOR F
IPC: B24B53/00
Filed: 1983-08-31
Abstract: A dual compensation method of surface conditioning a super-abrasive grinding wheel 17 by intermittently moving the wheel to a stationary wheel conditioner unit 20 mounted adjacent the grinding wheel and having a consumable element 47 engaged by the grinding wheel comprises the steps of grinding a predetermined number of workpieces W to establish a first predetermined depth of super-abrasive wheel wear, and periodically conditioning the wheel surface by consuming a second predetermined depth from a consumable reconditioning tool surface. A first compensation for grinding wheel wear is produced by controlling the position of the super- abrasive wheel with respect to the workpiece to maintain an apparent wheel wear depth within the range of desired workpiece tolerance. The grinding wheel is conditioned by contacting the wear surface of the super-abrasive wheel with the reconditioning tool surface and advancing it into and away from the tool surface a distance equal to the second predetermined depth each time that the wheel is reconditioned so as to assure that individual grains of the super-abrasive constituent of the wheel will extend beyond the bonding material constituent of the wheel to maintain cutting efficiency of the wheel following the reconditioning step. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2187357-A (GB)
Title: Encoding image data
Inventor: HOLT MURRAY JAMES JOHN
IPC: H04N1/411
Filed: 1986-11-28
Abstract: A method of encoding image data is described in which the image is first partially thinned to produce a semi-thinned image in which most lines are reduced to skeletons, but thicker lines and solid areas remain more than one picture element (pel) wide. The semi-thinned image is then decomposed into a thin component containing the skeletal lines, and a thick components containing the remainder of the image. These two components are then encoded separately to ensure efficient encoding. For example, the thin component may be encoded by chain-coding or pel-prediction coding, and the thick component by modified READ coding. Decoding is essentially the reverse of the encoding process. <IMAGE>
