Title: Electronics baton for police
Inventor: LIN CHING-YAW
IPC: F41B15/04
Filed: 1983-09-30
Abstract: A police baton comprises a handle having a hollow grip shell structure (50) with a battery compartment (12) integrally formed at the rear end for containing a rechargeable battery (10), a voltage multiplying and rectifying device (20), a trigger (60) provided in connection with the device (20), and a telescopic pipe (30) around which a pair of high-tension brass wires (32) are spirally wound installed at the front end in conjunction with the trigger (60) and the device (20).

Title: Rope length adjuster
Inventor: FOWLER MAURICE
IPC: F16G11/12
Filed: 1983-10-14
Abstract: A rope length adjuster of the kind comprising a substantially flat plate has two spaced apart holes drilled, punched or otherwise formed through it. Each of the holes is of a size to accommodate the intended rope in use. An end of the rope is secured in or adjacent one hole whilst the rest of the rope is a close sliding fit through the other hole. The adjusters disclosed are characterised by the feature that at least one long side region of the adjuster comprises material which is resiliently deformable widthwise, ie, in a direction generally across a notional line joining the centres of the two holes of the adjuster. The resiliently deformable region may be rounded concavely or convexly and preferably is so coloured as not to mar unduly the appearance of any surface against which it rubs. The holes may be provided with serrations and may be formed by hard bosses inserted into resilient material as in Fig. 4. <IMAGE>

Title: Hydraulic brake system
Inventor: BELART JUAN
IPC: B60T13/14
Filed: 1983-12-07
Abstract: A hydraulic brake system for an automotive vehicle has a master brake cylinder (1) and a power booster (2) connected upstream of the master brake cylinder (1), a pressure fluid pump (45) having a controllable electromotive drive and a pressure accumulator (50) connected to the outlet of the pressure fluid pump (45). The pressure accumulator (50) is connected to the inlet of a hydraulic power booster (2) and the drive motor (44) of the pressure fluid pump (45) is actuatable in dependence upon the pressure in the pressure accumulator (50). On the other hand, the pressure fluid pump (45) can be put into operation by an electric contact (39) at the brake pedal (35). Thus the pressure requirement of the hydraulic power booster (2) will be met by the pressure accumulator (50) at the commencement of braking and particularly in the event of quick depression of the brake pedal (35), until the maximum delivery of the pressure fluid pump (45) is available. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2138464-A (GB)
Title: Lateral restraint strap for building construction
Inventor: ANDREWS HAROLD JOHN
IPC: E04B1/26
Filed: 1984-03-28
Abstract: The strap (19), of light weight metal strip or high tensile plastics such as polypropylene, for use in providing lateral restraint to a wall of a building (both in the case where joists run parallel to the wall and where they run perpendicular to the wall), has a disc (21) attached as a laminar bearing member to one end and has a 90 DEG twist (25) at a position spaced from the disc (21) by the thickness of the inner leaf (18) of the cavity wall. This portion of the strap can pass either through a space between adjacent blocks or through a coursing joint of the wall. Where joists (13,14), are parallel to the wall (18), the strap is hammered into the top surfaces and nailed, the free end being hammered down against the side of the further joist (14) and nailed at (27). Where joists are perpendicular to the wall, the strap passes through a coursing joint. The downturned end can give extra strength to the strap fixings. Damage to lightweight block work of the inner leaf (18) is minimised by the large bearing area of the disc (21). It is unnecessary to channel either the blockwork or the joists to use the strap (19) as was necessary with a prior art strap (10). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2169204-A (GB)
Title: Air sterilization system
Inventor: FIORENZANO ALINTOR
IPC: A61L9/16
Filed: 1984-12-07
Abstract: Air is sterilized by passing it through ducts of small diameter in a refractory block, the air being heated therein by electrical resistive heating elements (e.g. NiCr wire) disposed axially within the ducts. The high thermal gradient generated in the ducts is capable of eliminating any micro-organism passing through these ducts carried by the air convection produced by this device. Due to the fact that only a small quantity of air is processed per unit of time, there is no considerable increase of ambient air temperature in places where this device is installed. <IMAGE>

Title: Structural adhesive formulations
Inventor: DAMICO DENNIS JON
IPC: C08F291/00
Filed: 1985-03-20
Abstract: A one-component adhesive for metal surfaces such as iron, zinc, copper, cadmium and their alloys will cure upon contact with the metal surface. The adhesive composition includes olefinically unsaturated monomer; reactive or nonreactive polymer; an acidic material; a compound containing sulfonyl halide group; and a compound containing a transition metal.

Title: Electrical signal transfer system for a rotary kiln
Inventor: TYSON JOSEPH HARTLEY
IPC: F27D21/00
Filed: 1985-03-27
Abstract: A rotary kiln has a number of thermocouples respectively sensing the kiln temperature at spaced locations and respectively connected to annular slip rings 34 each in sections 67, 68, 69. Laterally facing peripheral surfaces of the rings 34 are respectively cooperable with brush contacts 51 connected to bar 55 and a fork which embraces a ring 58 moveable axially with the rings. Thus on longitudinal expansion of the kiln the contacts 51 are caused to move with the rings 34. The electric signals from the thermocouples are thus fed to stationary monitoring equipment. In a modification the ring sections are electrically isolated and each section is connected to a respective sensor. Position sensors may be used to detect the rotary position of the kiln. The invention can be applied to other sensors. <IMAGE>

Title: Surface topography measuring apparatus
Inventor: CHANDLEY DR PAUL JOHN
IPC: G01B11/30
Filed: 1987-01-30
Abstract: The apparatus and method utilize the principle of Moiré fringe contouring. The apparatus includes a light source 1, scanning means 9 for relatively scanning light from the light source obliquely over a sample surface 8 to be measured and optical means such as a camera lens 10 adapted to focus scanned light reflected from the sample surface onto a master grid or grating 11 to therewith sequentially produce a Moiré-type pattern. A detector 12 detects the intensity variations in the Moiré-type patterns and provides sample signals which represent respective sequentially scanned parts of the sample surface. Means 16, 17, 18 are provided to generate a reference signal for comparison with the sample signals. The phases of the sample and reference signals are compared to thereby obtain real-time signals, which can be displayed, which are indicative of the shape of the surface being scanned. <IMAGE>

Title: Vortex separator
Inventor: HOLDICH THOMAS ANTHONY WHITE
IPC: B04C7/00
Filed: 1988-06-06
Abstract: A separator for removing heavy and/or light contaminates from fluids of the type which relies on the rate of delivery, and the direction of the incoming contaminated fluid to generate circulating flows within the separator vessel (12). Flow modifying members are provided in the vessel in the upper regions thereof, giving improved separation. Flow enters the vessel from a nozzle (40). A first flow-modifying member (22) creates an outer annular zone leading to an aperture (15) in the vessel lid (13) for discharging light contaminates. Another flow-modifying member (44), adjustable in height along the vessel axis, breaks up rising vortex flows thus preventing heavy contaminates from being carried up to the clean fluid outlet (17). Under control of a flow-meter (28) and control device (43), back-flow in the heavy contaminates discharge outlet (23, 26) can be automatically initiated to clear any blockages detected therein. <IMAGE>
