Abstract: A duty cycling switch for use with a furnace which mounts onto the exterior wall of the furnace plenum and opens and closes in response to the temperature of the plenum wall. The switch is adjusted to deactivate the burner when the plenum wall heats up to a temperature caused by the continuous operation of the burner for a predetermined period of time. The duty cycling switch acts to reactivate the burner when the plenum cools down below this temperature. A duty cycling switch for use with an air conditioner is also disclosed which mounts onto the plenum wall and opens and closes in response to the temperature of the plenum wall. It is adjusted to deactivate the compressor of an air conditioner unit when the plenum wall cools down to a temperature caused by continuous operation of the compressor for a first predetermined period of time and reactivates the compressor afterthe plenum wall exceeds this temperature. The furnace duty cycling switch is preferably an adjustable bimetal which opens on rise. The air conditioner duty cycling switch is a bimetal switch which closes on rise.

Abstract: 0 The invention provides a method of removing inclusions from molten metal, particularly aluminium, by
     a) contacting the molten metal with a medium which retains metal-non-wettable inclusions. The medium may be liquid such as a fused salt mixture; or solid such as a filter of metal-non-wettable ceramic materials or a bed of granules e.g. of tabular alumina,   b) passing the molten metal through a filter of metal-wettable material, e.g. a refractory hard metal such as titanium diboride. The metal-wettable filter attracts and holds metal wettable inclusions within itself, and may also prevent by surface tension the entry of fused salt droplets.

Abstract: A relay includes an electromagnet and an armature (8') for causing a displacement of a pair of spring arms (20') in a respective sense in dependence on energisation or de-energisation of the electromagnet. Each spring arm is arranged to make an electrical connection between one member of a respective set of contact members and, in dependence on the sense of displacement, a selected one of two other members (14',15') in the same set. A trip plate (9') mounted on the armature, acts on both spring arms and has a protrusion (32) which permits pivotal movement of the trip plate relative to the armature: the spring arms are subjected to substantially equal amounts of pressure as they are displaced. 
     The protrusion may have a convex surface (32) or may comprise a pair of flat surface which meet at an apex to establish a pivot.

IPC: C09J7/02

Abstract: @ The fluidic oscillator (14) includes a resonant fluid circuit having a fluid inertance and a dynamic fluid compliance. The inertance is a conduit (4) interconnecting two locations (16a, 16b) of a chamber on each side of a working fluid jet issuing into one end of the chamber (3), the inertance conduit transfers working fluid between the two locations. Through one or more output orifices (10), located at the opposite end of chamber (3), the fluid exits from an exit region (11) which is shaped to facilitate formation of a vortex (the dynamic compliance) from the entering fluid. The flow pattern in chamber (3), specially the vortex in exit region (11) provide flow aspiration on one side and surplus of flow on the opposite side of chamber (3), which effects accelerate and respectively decelerate the fluid in the inertance conduit (4) such as to cause reversal of the vortex after a time delay given by the inertance. The vortex in the exit region will cyclically alternate in velocity and direction of rotation to direct outflow through the output orifice such as to produce a cyclically repetitive side-to-side sweeping stream whose direction is determined, at any instant in time, as a function of the vectorial sum, at the output orifice, of the tangential vortex flow spin velocity vector and the static pressure vector and the dynamic pressure component, both directed radially from the vortex. By changing these parameters and by appropriately configuring the oscillator, sweep angle, oscillation frequency, distribution, outflow velocity, break up into droplets, etc. can be controlled over large ranges.

Abstract: Bed-of-nails test access jigs are commonly used to effect the required electrical connections between an electronic circuit constructed on a printed circuit board (PCB) and the automatic (electrical) test equipment (ATE) used to carry out their testing. "Fixed" bed-of-nails jigs have a number of disadvantages that can be overcome by the use of a programmable bed-of-nails jig, but the present-day programmable systems using apertured masks, or secondary pin frames, to set up a particular pin configuration, do not provide a good solution where the pin configuration has to be changed during the testing sequence. 
     The invention suggests a design employing individually-controlled pin control mechanisms such that from a total field of pins individual pins can be programmed to make contact with the PCB. It enables the pin actuating mechanism to fit into the space available by proposing the use of miniature clutch, or valve, mechanisms involving the utilisation of an electro rheological fluid. The inventive bed-of-nails device is thus one in which there are individual pin control mechanisms, functionally separate from the control means of any other pin, that utilise either the valve- or the clutch-forming abilities of an electro rheological fluid.

Abstract: 57 The salt content of crude oil (1) is reduced by washing it with at least 1% by volume of wash water of lower salinity than the water present in the crude oil and separating (5) the resulting mixture of oil and water into a layer of crude oil of reduced salt content and a layer of saline water containing some oil. The latter is passed through a cross-flow membrane separator (8) and the oil-free permeate is removed from the separator as effluent (9). The oil retentate is recycled (10) from the separator (8) to the washing stage and a quantity of water of lower salinity than the water associated initially with the crude oil is added to the washing stage. The quantity of added water corresponds at least to the volume of permeate removed from the cross-flow membrane separator (8). Since the oil is recycled, the need for oil recovery plant for treating desalter effluent is removed.

Abstract: A backpack having a front panel normally riding on the back of the wearer according to this invention has a front panel which is vertically elongated and which is formed of an at least semirigid shell having a shape generally complementary to that of the back of the wearer and constucted to be relatively bendable longitudinally and relatively stiff transversely. Thus the panel can bend forward and back, that is about a horizontal axis, but cannot flex about a vertical axis. This is achieved by forming the shell with transverse rigidifying formations so it is longitudinally relatively bendable and transversely relatively stiff. These formations according to this invention are ridges or grooves.
