Title: Computer controlled grinding
Inventor: GRIFFITHS SELWYN JONATHAN
IPC: B24B49/00
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: In a computer controlled grinding apparatus the position of the grinding wheelhead during grinding is controlled by data obtained prior to grinding and derived from a plurality of rotational positions of the workpiece which take into account any height difference between the workpiece and wheel rotation axes. The workpiece may be a crankshaft crankpin, with the wheelhead position (P) for each angular position of the crankshaft (A) being computed using the formula: <F>P = (T*cosA) +  !  (R+r)<SP>2</SP> - ((T*sinA) + H)<SP>2</SP>)</F>, where R is the current grinding wheel radius, r is the target crankpin radius, T is the crankpin throw and H is the vertical height between the two axes. The value of P may be calculated for each of a succession of equally spaced positions (e.g. 3600) in one revolution of the crankshaft, with a value of P being computed by interpolating between the two adjacent calculated P values at angular positions where no value of P has been calculated.

Title: Method for identifying patterns in sequential event streams
Inventor: ROBERTSON IAN
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 2001-04-10
Abstract: The method identifies repeating patterns in sequential event streams, in which each event (A1, B, C, D, A2) is of a pre-determined event type (A, B, C, D) and occurs at a specified position within an event stream. In the method, an edge-weighted graph is generated in which each event type is represented by a vertex. A window of pre-determined width is then moved through an event stream and the edges in the graph are weighted in response to the co-occurrence of events in the window. Thus, if a window contains an event A1 and moves on through the event stream such that it also contains a second event B, the weighting of the edge linking the vertices representing the corresponding event types A, B in the graph is incremented. Repeating patterns in the event stream thus emerge as clusters of higher edge weights in the graph and can be detected by a graph clustering method. Individual instances of a pattern identified by the method can optionally be located by re-scanning the event stream for individual patterns.

Title: Actuator for a valve
Inventor: BAKER GERALD
IPC: F16K31/122
Filed: 2000-01-26
Abstract: A valve has two actuation arrangements. Preferably, the first is operated by a stepper motor and the second is operated by fluid pressure. In one embodiment threaded engagement between a gear 68 causes translation of a stepper shaft 42 when gear 68 is rotated by the stepper motor. This in turn causes translation of actuator rod 32 which is free to translate relative to but is normally biassed into contact with stepper shaft 42. Shaft 32 caries opposed surfaces (62, 64 figure 2) which can be pressure loaded to open or close the valve independently of the stepper motor. In the other embodiment actuator rod (122, figure 5) can translate (and the stepper shaft 112 with it) by applying fluid pressure to either one of opposed surfaces carried by the rod (122). The actuator rod (122) can be rotated by a stepper motor and by virtue of a threaded engagement between it and the stepper shaft (112) cause translation of the shaft (112). The speed of valve closure by application of fluid pressure can be faster than the speed of opening by including a restriction with a by-pass including a check valve.

Title: Electrochemical processing
Inventor: JONES CHRISTOPHER PETER
IPC: C25B9/19
Filed: 2001-12-06
Abstract: Using a solution mining procedure, an ore (10) is treated with a solution of acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide so as to form a leachate containing lead ions. Lead ions (and other metal ions such as zinc and manganese) are stripped (22, 24, 26) by solvent extraction from the leachate to form separate aqueous solutions. The aqueous solution containing lead ions is treated electrochemically in the anodic compartment of a separated electrochemical cell (42) to form a precipitate of lead oxide. Manganese dioxide can be produced similarly (72). A precipitate of zinc hydroxide can be formed in the cathode compartment of a separated electrochemical cell (56). In the cells (42, 72) extracting lead ions and manganese ions, the cathode compartment is used to generate hydrogen peroxide (for use in making the leachant), either directly or indirectly.

Patent GB-2376202-A (GB)
Title: Arc brazing process
Inventor: PETTERSEN OLA
IPC: B23K1/00
Filed: 2002-05-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus for brazing two electrically conducting workpieces 10,14 in which the heat necessary for brazing is generated by striking an arc 8 is disclosed. A voltage-regulating unit for regulating the voltage applied between an electrode 6 and one of the workpieces 10 is controlled by processing means using data collected from sensors measuring the voltage across the arc and the current in the arc. The processing means continuously calculates the electrical power of the arc as a product of the measured voltage and current, and regulates the voltage to maintain a constant power. In a further aspect, the process uses a carbon electrode 6 which is movable towards and away from a workpiece 10. On closing the electrical circuit by operating a switch 3, an electric arc 8 is struck between the electrode 6 and the workpiece 10, and carbon powder is released from the carbon electrode and accumulates on the underlying workpiece to form a thin layer thereon. The arc is therefore maintained between two carbon poles, which stabilises the arc and distributes the temperature. The process may be used for brazing a metal conductor or cable shoe to a steel railway rail, and avoids undesired hardening or martensite formation in the steel rail.
