Title: A gearing arrangement
Inventor: BAKER SCOTT MELVIN
IPC: F16H1/20
Filed: 1982-10-27
Abstract: A gearing arrangement consists of a housing (1) locked over a vertical drive spindle (3) of a food processor, over which, in normal use of the processor, a bowl would be placed. Gear (5), having a vertical spindle (6), engages with gear (4) and has a co- axial frusto-conical bevelled gear (7). Engaging with gear (7) is a correspondingly-angled bevelled gear (8), having an output spindle (9), onto which an attachment, such as a can-opener, cream maker, etc., may be connected. During operation of the food processor, the arrangement enables spindle (9) to be rotated at a substantially lower speed than drive spindle (3), thereby enabling the attachment to be driven at substantially lower speeds than those required in the normal use of the food processor. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2133900-A (GB)
Title: Planar waveguides including a lens portion
Inventor: WISBEY PHILIP HENRY
IPC: G02B6/124
Filed: 1983-01-15
Abstract: Incorporating an integral lens portion constituted by a shaped volume of material of uniformly different refractive index into a planar waveguide, is not satisfactory, and instead it is common to employ geodesic lenses even though they are difficult and expensive to fabricate, and can suffer unacceptably high insertion loss. The present invention suggests an alternative lens construction; it provides an elongate planar waveguide in the form of a surface layer in a correspondingly elongate planar slab of material, the waveguide layer including a lens portion capable of modifying the wavefront of waves propagating along the waveguide, wherein the lens portion is to constructed that the effective refractive index of the layer is spatially varied in a direction approximately orthogonal to the wave propagation direction, the variation being such as to cause the required wavefront modification. The waves guided may be mechanical, microwaves, or infra-red or visible light.

Title: Fish bite indicator
Inventor: SKILTON DAVID CHARLES
IPC: A01K97/12
Filed: 1984-07-17
Abstract: A fish bite indicator is mounted on a bank stick 1 by means of a clamp 5 forming part of a housing 6. The indicator includes a pivotably mounted arm 7 which grips at one end the fishing line and is movable by the line about an arcuate path in a substantially vertical plane. When in use, the arm 7 is preferably positioned below the fishing rod with its free end pointing away from the tip of the rod, the arm following an arc of movement which initially is upwardly towards the rod to provide a visual indication of line movement.

Title: Coating optical fibres
Inventor: MACKAY MALCOLM DUNCAN
IPC: B05C3/15
Filed: 1985-02-08
Abstract: An applicator for coating an optical fibre (29) includes a coating chamber (30) whose inlet is comprised by a flexible orifice element (11). In use the chamber (30) contains coating material under pressure and the coating material exits the chamber via the inlet orifice element (11), as well as through an outlet orifice element (10), so as to prewet the optical fibre with the coating material before it enters the coating chamber. The prewetting prevents the formation of air bubbles in the applied coating and permits high speed coating. <IMAGE>

Title: Computer systems
Inventor: MACHACEK GEORGE THEODOR
IPC: G06F13/26
Filed: 1985-04-20
Abstract: A computer system of the kind in which a number of computer peripherals (DEVICE I...N) are connected to a central processor unit by means of a common bus line over which they can send "Interrupt" signals to the CPU to interrupt the operation of the latter where necessary and ensure that none of the inputs from any of the peripherals is lost before it can be processed. In order to simplify and speed up the operation of such a system by avoiding the necessity to interrogate all the peripherals in turn to find out whether an interrupt signal is being initiated by them, circuitry is provided to enable multiple compatible peripheral controllers to deliver bus vectored (i.e. identified) interrupts on a single interrupt request line (INT-). <IMAGE>

Title: Local remelting and resolidification
Inventor: MATSUBARA TOSHIHIKO
IPC: C23C4/06
Filed: 1986-10-21
Abstract: It is known that a hardened chilled layer with a fine metallic composition having excellent abrasion resistance can be obtained if a sliding surface layer of an Fe- containing alloy component, such as a cam shaft used in a valve mechanism of an internal combustion engine, is rapidly melted by irradiating the surface layer with high- concentration energy such as a plasma jet, laser beam, etc. and is thereafter hardened by self-cooling. The abrasion resistance may be greatly enhanced if this remelting and hardening treatment is applied to a hardened chilled layer formed during casting the component. Furthermore, if a carbide-stabilizing agent such as Cr or Mo is added to the molten pool produced on the surface during the remelting and hardening treatment, a double carbide is produced in the hardened chilled layer and a high hardness can be obtained. For the sliding surface of a shaft member which is not used in as severe conditions as a cam of a cam shaft, even if the remelting and hardening treatment is performed in a spiral shape, the required abrasion resistance can be obtained, resulting in high productivity and good economy. <IMAGE>
