Title: Improvements in Ultrasonic Diagnosis Systems
IPC: A61B8/12
Filed: 1980-06-24
Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnosis system includes an ultrasonic wave transmitting and receiving transducer (11) which is rockably disposed within the distal end (5) of a portion of an endoscope which is adapted to be inserted into a coeliac cavity. The transducer (11) emits ultrasonic wave from within the coeliac cavity and directs it towards internal tissues of a physical body. The output signals of the transducer (11) produced by the ultrasonic wave reflected from the tissue under observation are processed electronically as a function of the instantaneous angular position of the transducer, thereby enabling an ultrasonic tomographic image to be obtained. The endoscope also includes an observation optical system which permits the location of the ultrasonic transducer within the coeliac cavity to be visually recognized. The optical system comprises a viewing window (18) to which optical fibres (16) lead via lenses and a prism (17) and an illumination window (14) to which optical fibres (13) lead. <IMAGE>

Title: Switch operating mechanism
IPC: H01H31/32
Filed: 1981-05-05
Abstract: An earth switch in which an electric motor (64) operable in one sense only drives an endless screw (68) along which a follower (74) is reciprocable. The follower drives a pair of abutments (76). Two coil compression springs (84) are arranged between that pair of abutments (76) and a second pair (86) mounted on the earthing contact (24). As the follower (74) runs along the screw (68) the springs (84) are compressed. The abutments (76) driven by the screw (68) engage fulcrum pins (90, 92) near the ends of their travel and as the screw (68) continues to drive the abutments in the same direction the spring pass over-centre and the thrust on the the abutments (86) is reversed in direction to overcome static friction and initial dynamic friction resisting expansion of the springs, which then drive the earthing contact in the opposite direction to the movement of the screw follower. <IMAGE>

Title: Monitoring the operation of a prime mover
Inventor: HARRIES GRAHAM
IPC: G07C5/08
Filed: 1983-01-15
Abstract: A processor 11 receives operational information from power, transmission or fuel parts of a prime mover. A recorder 13 is plugged into the processor 11 to recover all or some of the information while the prime mover is in operation. The recorder is also used to record further discrete information (such as personell identification). The module is removed from the processor to enable the operational and discrete information to be recovered by interogating means. The recorder can further serve as a security device such that the prime mover cannot be operated unless the recorder is attached to the processor. <IMAGE>
