Patent GB-2082671-A (GB)
Title: Method of making a hinge flap
IPC: B21D53/40
Filed: 1980-07-23
Abstract: A hinge flap suitable for use in forming a hinge for mounting a motor vehicle door is made by forming a pair of plates (1, 2), preferably metal plates, each having a semi-tubular depression (6) adjacent to one end thereof, and joining the plates together, for example by projection welding, such that the depressions together form a tube (7) for receiving a hinge pin. The method enables hinge flaps to be made more simply and cheaply than when using solid rolled steel stock, and comparable strength can be achieved with a reduction in weight. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A payment system with a magnetic card reader for vending machines for a personal magnetic card of the dual- layer type with at least two magnetic tracks as means of payment comprising a lock mechanism (45) retaining the magnetic card (21) in the card reader (40) in such a manner that the card is only released when the card reader is in a starting position and an electronic control circuit with data processing means, preferably a programmed microcomputer, controlling the reading in and out of the data of the card by means of a number of sensors (A, B, C, D, E) and only allowing purchases of articles provided the data of the card have predetermined mutual relations. The data of the card must be synchronously arranged on two magnetic tracks, of which one track includes an amount and security code, whereas the second track includes a permanent identification code. The security code has a predetermined relationship to the amount and security code. Each code comprises preferably 10 figures repeated three times. These 10 figures are on one track composed of the value amount of the card, the security code, and a division sign and on the second track of the identification number of the system, the identification number of the card, and a division sign. The division sign is a special combination of 10 bits. In this manner it is very difficult to falsify the magnetic card, and with great certainty the system accepts a genuine card as means of payment. <IMAGE>

Title: A method and device for the recombination of hydrogen and oxygen released in electric cells by aqueous electrolytes
Inventor: PLUST HEINZ G
IPC: H01M10/52
Filed: 1983-04-25
Abstract: A method and a device 7 for the catalytic recombination of the hydrogen and oxygen formed in electrical accumulators are described. The disadvantages which have occurred hitherto in prior art, for example the possibility of too great an increase in the temperature of the catalyst, are avoided because the catalyst is flooded by the electrolyte at least during the recombination phase. As a result of this flooding of the catalyst layer the heat of reaction is well dissipated and, in addition, loss of water due to the escape of (hot) water vapour does not occur. The device may also be located external to the accumulator. <IMAGE>

Title: Protection
Inventor: PATEL DAHYABHAI CHITABHAI
IPC: H03K17/082
Filed: 1984-02-15
Abstract: A protective circuit (15) is suitable for use with main apparatus (10) having a component (Q5) to be protected against excessive current flow therethrough and/or a short circuit. Current through the component (Q5) is detected by series-connected sensing means (R7) which provides an output in response to excessive current flow, to cause diverting means (Q3, Q4) connected between main current and drive terminals of the component (Q5) to become conductive so as to divert current flow from the component (Q5), so protecting the component (Q5) from excessive current flow. The diverting means (Q3, Q4) switches off after a time determined by capacitive discharge within the protective circuit (15), but switches on again if excessive current again flows. The protective circuit (15) is intended primarily for protecting switching transistor components (Q5, Q6) of a push-pull voltage converter (10), and is capable of protecting more than one such component via "mirror image" effects in a transformer (T2) associated with the components (Q5, Q6). <IMAGE>
