Title: Rail Clip Driving Apparatus
IPC: E01B29/24
Filed: 1981-11-05
Abstract: A trolley which runs along unfastened rails of a track moves from sleeper to sleeper dispensing e- shaped rail clips and pressing them into anchorages (14). The trolley has for each rail a pair of rail-clip driving apparatus (17), of which each comprise a pair of magazines (18) for storing and guiding e-shaped clips and a clip driver, Fig. 7 (not shown), for each magazine which drives a lowermost clip from the magazine into an anchorage (14). Each apparatus (17) includes a longitudinally displaceable support tube on which the clip magazines are mounted, the tube moving one way or the other depending upon which magazine first comes into co-operation with its respective anchorage (14) in order to bring the other magazine into co- operation with its anchorage. The apparatus may move laterally relative to the trolley via a pair of parallelogram linkages provided one at each end of the support tube in order to adjust the apparatus to a changing path of the rails. A sleeper lifter may be provided to raise sleepers which are too low, and a sleeper sensor responds to the presence of the metallic anchorage (14) on a sleeper in order to stop the trolley as it advances from sleeper to sleeper. <IMAGE>

Title: Gaming machines
Inventor: REYNOLDS ANTHONY EDWARD ST AUB
IPC: G07F17/34
Filed: 1982-10-07
Abstract: A fruit machine incorporates a video display device providing a main display 1 in the form of a video representation of three reels 2,3 and 4 bearing symbols. A game button 5 is depressed to cause the reels 2,3 and 4 to appear to be spun about a horizontal axis and to come to rest, one at a time, so as to display a combination of three symbols along a combination line 6. A nudge feature may be awarded whereby any of the reels 2,3 and 4 may be indexed any number of times by pressing the nudge buttons 7,8 and 9 provided that the total number of nudges does not exceed the number initially awarded. When this feature is awarded a subsidiary display 11 in the form of three subsidiary simulated reels 12,13 and 14 is rendered visible alongside the main display 1. Each subsidiary reel 12, 13 or 14 bears a sequence of small symbols corresponding to a part of the sequence of symbols through which the associated main reel 2,3 or 4 is capable of being cycled. Furthermore each subsidiary reel 12,13 or 14 is indexed in synchronism with the associated main reel 2,3 or 4 so that the subsidiary display 11 provides the player with information as to the sequence of symbols on the main reels as an aid to nudging. <IMAGE>

Title: Liquid fuel pumping apparatus
Inventor: MOWBRAY DORIAN FARRAR
IPC: F02M59/36
Filed: 1982-10-25
Abstract: A liquid fuel pumping apparatus for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine includes a high pressure pump 10 having an outlet 13 for connection in use to an injection nozzle.

Patent GB-2135780-A (GB)
Title: Carbon monoxide detection
Inventor: VIZARD GRAHAM STANLEY
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 1983-02-22
Abstract: Carbon monoxide in an atmosphere is determined by pumping a sample of the atmosphere to an electrochemical sensor, treating the atmosphere to remove carbon monoxide and pumping the treated sample to the sensor and determining carbon monoxide from the difference in the sensor outputs. Pump 3 passes atmosphere through adsorbent column 4 (for interfering gases) and over electrochemical cell 8 to obtain a first signal. Reversing the direction of pumping causes atmosphere to pass through adsorbent column 4, over catalyst bed 6 to cause oxidation of carbon monoxide and over cell 8 to obtain a second signal. Processor 9 processes the signals and a corrected value for carbon monoxide concentration is transmitted to digital display 10. The value for carbon monoxide is thus corrected for the presence of interfering gases especially for the presence of hydrogen which may be present in underground coal mines, which interferes with electrochemical cells and cannot easily be removed from the atmosphere. <IMAGE>

Title: Defrost control means
Inventor: LLEWELYN DAVID SEDGER
IPC: F25D21/02
Filed: 1984-01-17
Abstract: A defrost control means for the evaporator of a refrigerator or heat pump has two active temperature sensors 9, 10, one of which is attached to the evaporator at approximately three-quarters distance along its length and the other is positioned in the path of air leaving the evaporator matrix. The difference in temperature between the two sensors is continuously compared with a reference level and a defrost cycle is initiated when the difference exceeds said level, that is in direct response to the increasing thermal insulation of the ice layer on the evaporator. The reference level is adjustable so that it may be preset according to the characteristics of a particular installation. Thus defrost is undertaken when required in direct response to the energy demand of the evaporator. <IMAGE>
