Patent CH-557495-A (CH)
Title: Steam gate valve - has tapered upstream socket to serve as venturi tube for flow measuring
IPC: F16K31/524
Filed: 1972-10-25
Abstract: The valve is for use mainly in the steam part of nuclear power stations where the minimum straight run necessary for differential pressure flow measuring is at premium. The tapered throat of the upstream socket is fitted with two differential pressure gauge orifices and the purpose-designed ratio of the taper makes the requirement of the minimum straight piping run unnecessary. The calibration of the Venturi tube part of the gate valve socket can be carried out in the manufacturer's factory simultaneously with the pressure test of the valve. The arrangement also eliminates the flow resistance inherent to the conventional Venturi- or orifice plate-type flow measuring instruments and takes advantage of the resistance of the throat which is already there anyway.

Title: Processing high-speed digital signals for data and/or clock r ecovery
Inventor: NAVEN FINBAR
IPC: H04L7/033
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: A first transparent latch (22) receives a first synchronised signal (S1) which changes its logic state synchronously with respect to a clock signal (CLK). A second transparent latch (24) receives a second synchronised signal (S2) output by the first latch (22). When the clock signal has a first logic state (H) the first latch (22) has a non-responsive state and the second latch has a responsive state, and when the clock signal has a second logic state (L) the first latch has the responsive state and the second latch has the non-responsive state. In such circuitry the change in logic state of a third synchronised signal (S3) output by the second latch (24) is guaranteed to occur in a particular half-cycle of the clock signal, irrespective of process/voltage/temperature (PVT) variations of the circuitry. Other embodiments relate to clock recovery circuitry having N(  /  2) rising-edge and falling-edge latches (Fig. 6); circulating control pattern verification circuitry (Fig. 12); data synchronising circuitry for converting parallel data clocked by a first clock signal into serial data clocked by a second clock signal asynchronous with the first clock signal (Fig. 15); and data recovery circuitry for producing an offset clock signal which can be chosen freely to suit a data eye shape of a received serial data stream (Fig. 21).

Title: Position control for plunge mechanism of a cartridge engaging assembly
Inventor: COFFIN PAUL C
IPC: G01B11/03
Filed: 2002-03-01
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling the position of a plunge mechanism (40) which is mounted to a cartridge engaging assembly (10), or picker. The plunge mechanism is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A reference mark (66) is provided on the plunge mechanism so that the reference mark moves with the plunge mechanism. A detector (68) is also mounted to the cartridge engaging assembly. As the plunge mechanism is extended, the detector detects the reference mark and produces an output signal which is related thereto. A control system (64) is operatively associated with the detector and is responsive to the output signal produced thereby. The control system is also operatively associated with the plunge mechanism. As a result, the control system can regulate the position of the plunge mechanism based on the output signal produced by the detector.

Title: Orienting perforating guns and confirming their orientation upon firing
Inventor: YANG WENBO
IPC: E21B43/1185
Filed: 2002-04-24
Abstract: A perforating gun string is weighted eccentrically to position shaped perforating charges 10 in a desired orientation. Material may be added, removed or components located off-axis in order to achieve bias. The loading tube 12 may comprise many articulated segments coupled together (figure 20) to allow the gun string to bend, which alters the amount of torque required to cause rotation. The magnitude of this effect is determined by empirical measurements (figure 23) prior to deployment, allowing the bias to be adjusted to reflect the expected degree of bending. Also disclosed is a method of mapping downhole components using a work string with detectors and a gyroscope. The components may be seeded with radioactive material to aid detection. In further inventions, a connector (figures 24-32) having interengaging tapered keys and a lockring secures adjacent tools in a fixed relative orientation and a confirmation device (figures 34-43) records the orientation of the gun at firing by preserving an imprint from a trigger charge.

Title: Electrical food warming apparatus
Inventor: MCWILLIAMS KEVIN RONALD
IPC: H05B3/74
Filed: 2002-06-07
Abstract: An electrical food warming apparatus 1 comprises an electrically insulating plate 3 made of glass-ceramic material and a heating element 11, which is maintained in direct contact with the underside of the electrically insulating plate 3 by means of a dish-like support 7. The heating element 11 is of ribbon form and is wound around a sheet 5 of dielectric material such as mica. The dish 7 contains a layer 13 of compacted microporous thermal insulation material. A thermostat 15 is attached to the sheet 5 between adjacent turns of the element 11. A warming zone on a glass-ceramic appliance requires a relatively low power loading (less than 0.5 watts per square centimetre). It is therefore safe to place the heating element in direct contact with the undersurface of the glass ceramic plate 3 as its temperature in use will be low and its electrical resistivity will remain high.

Title: Bilge water drainage valve for a vessel
Inventor: PINK GEOFFREY ANDREW
IPC: F16K1/14
Filed: 2002-10-24
Abstract: A bilge water drainage valve for a vessel comprises a through-hull tubular fitting D which encompasses a buoyant ball E which is captive within the tubular fitting. When the valve is immersed in water the ball floats up to seat on a narrowed restriction of the fitting thereby preventing flow through the valve. When the water level falls and the valve is no longer immersed the ball drops away from its seating allowing bilge water to seep out of the valve. The valve may be provided with a removable filter mesh A on its inboard side to prevent debris entering the fitting. The filter mesh may be provided with lugs to allow easy removal by hand, whether the valve is immersed or not, for inspection or cleaning. The valve may also be provided with a base plug F, the removal of which allows removal of the buoyant ball for inspection or cleaning.

Title: Linear high power RF amplifiers
Inventor: VARE ANDREW DAVID
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2002-11-01
Abstract: Improved class AB or class B high power transistor amplifiers are described; the amplifiers being intended to operate with good linearity at radio frequency (RF), typically in the 3G UMTS frequency range of 2.14 to 2.17 GHz, and with widely spaced multiple carrier frequencies. The linearity of such amplifiers is known to be adversely influenced by phenomena known as "memory" or "delay", whereby unequal 3<rd> order intermodulation products are produced at respective carrier frequencies, and the invention counters this problem by providing for bias, applied to the drain electrode and/or to the gate electrode, to be influenced by an inductance comprising a transmission line configured to present an impedance of 100 ohms or less at RF envelope frequencies. Typically the characteristic impedance of the transmission line is no greater than 50 ohms, and preferably less than 20 ohms, and its electrical length is less than one quarter wavelength by at least 10%.
