Granted: 1999-04-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for determining if a vehicle with an operating engine is at a particular location, the apparatus comprising: an antenna comprising a continuous wire formed into at least one loop; and a means to determine when the antenna is exposed to an oscillating electromagnetic field having a frequency between about 700 and about 2100 Hz of a strength characteristic of a vehicle's alternator operating in the vicinity of the antenna. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sensor of the present invention further comprises a means to generate a signal when the antenna is exposed to the oscillating electromagnetic field having a frequency between about 700 and about 2100 Hz of a strength characteristic of a vehicle's alternator operating in the vicinity of the antenna, and the signal is used as an input into a logic system that requires that the signal not be generated in order for a refuelling system to refuel a vehicle in the vicinity of the antenna. The antenna is preferably a figure eight loop antenna placed in pavement below the location at which the vehicle is expected to be. The sensor of the present invention is particularly applicable as a input to disenable a fuel pump at a refuelling station.

IPC: A47L15/42
Filed: 1969-04-17
Abstract: The dishwasher has at least two programmes operating at different pressures, one for normal use with pans etc, the other for more sensitive items such as glasses, and these programmes are carried out with differing water levels in the washing drum (2). A circulating pump (7) for the rinsing fluid is provided on the suction side with an air intake pipe (10) which winds above the lower liquid level (4) in the container (2) associated with one programme and below the upper liquid level (3) associated with the other programme.

Title: Satellite transmission noise reduction system - increases signal=to=noise ratio of signal extracted from mixed transponder response signals using VCO and phase-locked loop
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1972-05-03
Abstract: A circuit is used to increase the signal-to-noise ratio in a system in which a simulated reference signal is derived from the received signal mixture and subtracted from it after which the residual signal is fed to a correlation receiver. An oscillator (VCO) is contained in a phase-locked loop generating a reference carrier for mixing with the received signal mixture in a phase discriminator to derive a low frequency signal, which after multiplication with the signal mixture in a mixer (M3) is used as an input signal for the phase control loop. The simulation of the interfering signal by a limiter (B2) suppresses the unwanted component in the low frequency signal derived by mixing with the reference carrier in the mixer (M4). The system is applicable to a satellite system with a transponder returning mixed signals from several exciting transmissions.

Title: "Lifting beds"
Inventor: WOOD KEVIN
IPC: A61G7/02
Filed: 1994-06-17
Abstract: In a lifting bed (1), a base frame (2) supports the bed frame (6) by way of a sub-frame (5). A parallel linkage mechanism (7, 8, 9) driven by a power unit enables the spacing between the base frame (2) and the bed frame (6) to be varied so that the bed frame (6) may be located at any desired spacing above the floor (4) carrying the base frame (2), within predetermined limits. In order to provide a tilt feature, the bed frame (6) is pivoted (15) on the sub-frame (5) and two tilt legs (11) are pivotably mounted (17) on the base frame (2) for interposition between a portion of the bed frame (6) and an abutment defined by the upper surface of the base frame (2), so that when the sub-frame (5) is lowered relative to the base frame (2), the bed frame (6) is tilted by virtue of a fixed spacing being maintained between the portion of the bed frame engaged by the roller-equipped uper end (13) of the tilt arms (11) and the base frame (2).

Title: A process for making pelletised animal feed
Inventor: CONNOLLY WILLIAM GERARD
IPC: A23N17/00
Filed: 1994-10-04
Abstract: A pelletised animal feed is prepared by grinding raw materials in a grinder (203), mixing the ground raw material in a mixer (301) and delivering the mixed material to a pressure cooker (303). The mixed material is cooked and then extruded and pelletised to form pellets which are delivered onto a top bed (403) of a dryer (401). An initial active drying operation is carried out by forcing hot air up through the top bed (403) for a pre-set drying time and extracting the hot air from the dryer (401) above the top bed (403). The pellets are then dropped onto a lower intermediate bed (404) where they are retained for the drying time in a static drying operation before being dropped onto a bottom bed (405). A final active drying operation is carried out by forcing hot air up through the bottom bed (405) for the drying time and extracting the hot air from the dryer (401) above the bottom bed (405) and below the lower intermediate bed (404). The dried pellets are cooled in a cooler (407) and delivered to bulk storage bins (501). A pelletised animal feed produced by the above process is also disclosed.

Title: A method for moulding of hygroscopic plastics material
Inventor: WOODS PATRICK
IPC: B29B13/06
Filed: 1998-01-19
Abstract: A method for moulding hygroscopic plastics material in a clean room environment comprises drawing granules of hygroscopic plastics material from a supply container 10 into a hopper loader 13 by means of a vacuum drawn on the hopper loader 13 by a plant room vacuum pump. The granules are then delivered into a drying hopper 15 and air from the drying hopper 15 is drawn by a dessicator vacuum pump in a closed loop to substantially remove moisture from the air in a dessicator 22. Heated air from the dessicator 22 is delivered to the granules in the drying hopper 15 to substantially remove moisture from the granules. On removal of moisture from the granules in the drying hopper 15, the dessicated granules are drawn to a hopper loader 1 of a moulding machine in the clean room environment by means of a main vacuum pump 30. The main vacuum pump 30 draws air in a closed loop from the hopper loader 1 of the moulding machine through a dust separator 31 and a filter 32 and draws the dessicated granules from the drying hopper 15 to the hopper loader 1. Positive pressure in the dessicated granules stream is released prior to delivery to the hopper loader 1 to maintain the integrity of the clean room environment.
Patent JP-S6051937-B2 (JP)
IPC: H02K17/16
Filed: 1981-01-26
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a parts loading unit in a die casting machine such as, for example, for loading various diameter and stack height sizes of rotor assemblies into the compensator sleeves of multiple cavity rotor dies for the subsequent casting of the conductor bars and end rings of squirrel cage electrical motor rotors. The loading unit comprises a magazine section (350) having a plurality of inclined guide tracks (40, 42, 44, 56) on which the rotor preforms (60) are stacked, and an escapement mechanism (48) which permits one rotor (60) preform at a time to roll from each of the guide tracks in the magazine section onto respective inclined guide tracks (196, 198, 200, 202) leading to the breech openings of the die cavities. The guide tracks are laterally adjustable so as to accommodate rotor preforms of various stack height. As the rotor preforms roll down the inclined guide track toward the die cavities, they are decelerated by means of pivotally mounted, counterweighted arms (274) which are contacted by and then swung out of the way by the rotors. The rotors (60) are magnetically held by holding magnets (294) in the proper position within the compensator sleeves (210, 222, 224, 226), and photoelectric sensors (298) provide an indication of whether or not proper positioning has been achieved. The compensator sleeves are closed and molten aluminium is cast around a portion of the rotor preforms to form the end rings and conductor bars.
