Title: Friction clutch wear indicator
Inventor: GROSSPIETSCH WOLFGANG
IPC: F16D25/08
Filed: 1997-09-18
Abstract: A wear indicator, for friction clutch 3, comprises a frictionally held slide 51 mounted on a guide pin 49 and having an end face 53 which forms one marker of the wear indicator, the other marker being portion 47 of dust-shielding sleeve 41 fixed to and moveable with withdrawal bearing 31. On assembly as the clutch 3 moves to its engaged position the mark 47 pushes a spacer element 55 and the slide 51, which overcomes its frictional engagement, towards outer cylinder support 11. The spacer 55 is then removed thereby distancing the mark 47 from the mark 53 by a spacing X which corresponds to the maximum permissible wear travel of the clutch 3. With increasing wear of the clutch 3, and with the clutch 3 engaged, the marks 47, 53 approach each other so that when the spacing X is substantially zero the clutch 3 is worn out, this may be viewed through opening 1a in bell housing 1.In other embodiments a gauge may replace the spacer 55 and one of the markers may have a colour applied.

Title: Cutter elements resistant to thermal fatigue and shock
Inventor: LIANG DAH-BEN
IPC: C22C29/08
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: A cutting element is formed of a material of composition including tungsten carbide and cobalt. The material has a thermal conductivity exceeding a minimal value as determined by: K min  = 0.00102X<SP>2</SP> - 0.03076X + 0.5464, where K min  is minimal thermal conductivity in the units of cal/cm.s. K, and X is cobalt weight percentage. A cemented tungsten carbide having coarse tungsten carbide grains and a low cobalt matrix content meets this criterion. The thermal conductivity of this type of cemented tungsten carbide may be further enhanced by using higher purity tungsten carbide which typically is of coarser grain size. By adjusting the tungsten carbide grain size and the cobalt content, a desired toughness and hardness may be achieved while still maintaining a relatively high thermal conductivity. The material is suitable as a cutting element or insert for most drilling situations.

Title: Propulsion system for an electric vehicle powered by fuel cells started using abattery
Inventor: GALE ALLAN ROY
IPC: B60L11/18
Filed: 1999-09-16
Abstract: A motor vehicle propulsion system includes a fuel cell 10 and a traction motor 14 fed by inverter 16 coupled to the fuel cell 10 on a first bus 11. A second bus 24 of relatively lower voltage is connected to the first bus 11 via a bidirectional DC to DC converter 23 which allows the fuel cell 10 to supply energy to the second bus 24. The second bus contains a standard 12 volt vehicle battery 30, low voltage loads such as those present in the vehicle 26 and those required to operate the fuel cell 28. At start up the battery 30 is used to supply power via the converter 23 to an electrically driven compressor 18 which feeds reaction gas to the fuel cell 10 until it can supply enough power to maintain the operation of the compressor 18 itself. During regenerative braking of the motor 14 the power is returned to the battery 30 with a diode 12 to prevent reverse voltage at the fuel cell 10. Also if the motor 14 requires more power than is being supplied from the fuel cell 10 the battery 30 power can be utilised.
