Title: Pre-charged, regulated pneumatic, pump action repeating air rifle
Inventor: WILKINS JOSEPH WILLIAM
IPC: F41B11/51
Filed: 1991-09-11
Abstract: A repeating air rifle which by means of a manual pumping action 2 loads and arms the weapon giving a rapid repeating fire facility without the need to alter or remove either hand from the normal held position. The gun is powered by compressed air contained and stored within the main body tube, the airflow is metered by a regulator thereby controlling the consistency of each slot. The pump handle 2 is pulled backwards to cock the action and pushed forwards to complete the cycle by seating a pellet into the breech 9.

Title: Apparatus for managing power supply to a telecommunications base station
Inventor: GREENWOOD MARTIN W
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 1993-08-27
Abstract: A base station of a cordless telephone system has three pairs of transceivers 26. Power to the transceivers 26 is provided by a parallel array of power supply units 12 which deliver power to the transceivers 26 through a power distribution unit 18. Individual power buses 20, 22, 24 supply power from the power distribution unit 18 to the transceivers 26 and to a station unit 28. If the output voltage from the power supply units 12 falls, the power distribution unit 18 progressively isolates the power buses in accordance with a predetermined power-shedding priority rating, to provide a progressive and organised reduction in capability under fault conditions. In an alternative arrangement having a single power bus (30), (Figure 2), internal power supply relays in each transceiver are controlled in accordance with the power-shedding priority rating. If the system is operating on battery power 16, following failure of the primary power source 10, low priority equipment is disconnected to conserve power. <IMAGE>

Title: Device for load sensing on an internal combustion engine
Inventor: HERDEN WERNER
IPC: F02D41/18
Filed: 1994-12-12
Abstract: In an arrangement for sensing the load on an internal combustion engine in which the cylinder pressure in at least one cylinder is determined using a pressure sensor, the load is then determined either from the difference dp between pressure values at two different angles x1, x2 of the crankshaft or the difference between two different integral values I1, I2 of the pressure signal during the compression and intake phases. A further possibility is to determine the load from a weighted sum of pressure measurements. Corrections may also be applied e.g. for gas temperature and volume, and the result used in a controller having a stored characteristic map to control ignition and fuel injection. <IMAGE>
