Title: Hammer
IPC: B25D16/00
Filed: 2002-06-26
Abstract: An electrically powered hammer comprising a hammer housing (10) with a hollow cylindrical spindle (4) mounted within it. The hammer has a tool holder arrangement (36) located at a forward end of the spindle for releasably holding a tool or bit (34) within the spindle so as to enable limited reciprocation of the tool or bit within the spindle. An air cushion hammering mechanism is mounted within the spindle for generating repeated impacts on the tool or bit which hammering mechanism includes a piston (24). A motor is mounted within the housing for rotatingly driving an intermediate shaft (6) rotatably mounted in the housing. A wobble drive arrangement (12, 16, 18, 20) reciprocatingly drives the piston (24) and includes a wobble sleeve (12) rotatably mounted on the intermediate shaft (6). A mode change element (72) is selectively engageable, by movement along the intermediate shaft, with a set of drive teeth (74) provided on the intermediate shaft and a set of driven teeth provided on the wobble sleeve, such that when the mode change element (72) is engaged with both sets of teeth it transmits rotary drive from the intermediate shaft (6) to the wobble sleeve (12) so that the wobble sleeve arrangement reciprocatingly drives the piston (24). The mode change ring (72) is formed integrally with at least one axial stop surface (86) and the or each axial stop surface (86) is engageable with a cooperating end stop surface formed integrally with one of the intermediate shaft and the wobble sleeve to limit the movement of the mode change element along the intermediate shaft. <IMAGE>

Title: Image sensor
IPC: H04N5/3745
Filed: 2004-01-23
Abstract: An image sensor has a plurality of pixels, each pixel having a photodiode (12), a voltage amplifier (16) having gain magnitude greater than 1 and a sampling capacitor (18) charged by the voltage amplifier. In this arrangement, each pixel provides gain through voltage amplification. This enables the sampling capacitor to be kept to a low size, so that the pixel circuitry occupies the smallest possible space, thereby enabling large aperture pixels to be formed. A source-follower buffer transistor (49) is provided at the input to the voltage amplifier. This overcomes the effect of charge sharing resulting from the parasitic capacitances of the output transistor of the voltage amplifier.

Title: Door latching mechanisms
IPC: E05C9/04
Filed: 1991-05-31
Abstract: The mechanism 1 comprises two sliding bolts 4 and 5 extending along a common axis 8 parallel to the plane of the door so as to be slidable in opposite directions. A pivotable member g is attached to the door 2 so that its pivot axis 11 is substantially parallel to the plane of the door and perpendicular to the axis 8 and is pivotable by pulling/pushing on a handle 15. The mechanism is suitable for use on a security site storage container since, when the mechanism is in the fastened position, only a small part of the handle projects on the outside of the door, and it is virtually impossible to forcibly open the door by pulling on this part of the handle. As shown, handle 15 comprises an arcuate member 17 a radial part 18 and a plate 19. Figure 5 illustrates a modified arrangement for use with a padlock. A key-operated lock 22 is provided to move a locking member 23 to prevent pivoting of link 14. Figures 1, 3 illustrate a security flange 25 in the vicinity of hinges (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB93/02277 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 30, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 30, 1995 PCT Filed Nov. 4, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/11294 PCT Pub. Date May 26, 1994A device (10) for orientating a load to be suspended and moved by a crane includes a flywheel (11) mounted for rotation in a housing (14). A turntable (17) is pivotally connected to the housing (14) and is drivable relative to the housing using a driven worm gear (23) meshing with an annular set of teeth (22) on the turntable (17). The turntable has an axle (18) to which loads can be attached. When the flywheel (11) is spinning at high speed, it resists movement out of its plane of rotation so as to stabilize the cable in winds, etc. The flywheel (11) also allows the worm gear to react against it so as to turn the load relative to the flywheel (11). Maneuvering of the load is therefore made easier.

Patent GB-9508081-D0 (GB)
Title: Improvement to radars and sonars
IPC: G01S15/86
Filed: 1995-04-20
Abstract: A problem that can affect radars and sonars arises from the fact that in addition to echoes of their own transmissions, installations can receive strong interference from similar installations when their antennas point towards each other from substantially opposite directions. According to the present invention the problem is solved by providing a number of frequency bands ("channels") and a method whereby each radar or sonar automatically selects the appropriate channel for minimum interference, in accordance with the direction in which its beam is pointing. In one embodiment of the invention there are four channels, common to all the installations and corresponding to the four principal directions of the compass. A data link 6 from compass direction determining device 8 to radar 5 ensures that whenever the antennas of two installations point towards each other, the installations always use different channels, thereby solving the problem.
Patent GB-9509171-D0 (GB)
Title: X-ray lithography
IPC: G03F1/22
Filed: 1995-05-05
Abstract: X-ray lithography for production of semiconductor and other devices utilizes equipment comprising a structure containing shelves transparent to X-rays (4), each coated with a different X-ray absorber (3) that possesses at least one X-ray absorption wavelength that is unique relative to the other X-ray absorbers in the structure, and a semiconductor or other surface (5) coated with photoresist. A narrow beam of coherent X-rays (2), tuned to one of the relatively unique absorption wavelengths, is aimed perpendicular to the shelves and used to burn lines and shapes on one of the shelves. Because it is tuned to a relatively unique absorption wavelength, the beam passes through the other shelves. This process is repeated to create mask patterns for as many shelves as necessary to make up the required layers of the structure. A stream of X-rays similarly tuned to the absorption frequencies of one of the X-ray absorbers is then exposed to the shelves of the mask structure, reaching the photoresist-coated surface where their path is not blocked by the X-ray absorber which absorbs that wavelength. The exposed or unexposed photoresist is then removed, dopants are put down on the photoresist-covered surface and the process repeated with X-rays tuned to the wavelength of another of the X-ray absorbers, until the complete layered pattern of the device has been created. This process removes the need for positioning and alignment of masks for the successive layers of the device.
