Patent ZA-824939-B (ZA)
Title: Feed apparatus for automatic lathes
Inventor: LOUIS ALEXANDRE
IPC: B23B13/12
Filed: 1982-07-12
Abstract: Feed apparatus for automatic lathes comprises a central section bar surrounded by one or more peripheral section bars, longitudinal grooves of arcuate cross-section in all the section bars matching and cooperating with each other to form longitudinal passages for guiding bar stock when the section bars are assembled. Linings may be placed in these passages to form tubes for guiding the bar stock, these tubes being very accurately positioned relative to the outer surface of the apparatus, which may be an outer tube into which the assembly of section bars is inserted. Hence the stock-guiding tubes can be more precisely positioned, and the apparatus can be produced at low cost because the section bars are inexpensive and assembly is simple. The apparatus is particularly suitable for feeding lathes on which objects made from bar stock of very different diameters has to be machined.

Title: Process and device for controlling the rate of cooling a continously cast ingot
Inventor: BAENNINGER URS
IPC: B22D11/22
Filed: 1986-12-08
Abstract: A process for controlling the rate of cooling an ingot emerging from a continuous casting mold, said ingot being cooled by application of a fluid coolant directly onto the ingot surface, comprises continuous measurement of the cooling capacity and influencing the composition and/or the quantity of coolant employed per unit time i.e. in the sense of matching up to the required coolant capacity. As such the measurement of the coolant capacity is performed at least at one place outwith the ingot and using coolant not coming into contact with the ingot. The corresponding continuous casting unit features control elements (6) that act upon the composition and/or the amount of fluid coolant released per unit time and comprises at least one body (1) exhibiting good electrical conductivity; at least one coolant nozzle (2) which is connected to the coolant container (3) and is directed at a measuring point on the body (1); a heating device (4) that acts upon that point on the body (1); at least one temperature sensor (5,5') situated under the surface of the body (1) at the measuring point; and a data processing unit (7) connected up to the temperature sensor (5,5'), heating device (4) and control elements (6).

Patent ZA-903841-B (ZA)
Title: Die assembly for and method of forming metal end unit
Inventor: OSMANSKI THOMAS S
IPC: B21D35/00
Filed: 1990-05-18
Abstract: This relates to special tooling (10-26) for forming metal end units for use in conjunction with cans for carbonated beverages and the like wherein the formed end unit is provided with an integral reinforcement in the form of a countersink (56) so as to increase the buckle strength of such an end unit when it is formed of thin metal. Previously there has been developed tooling for forming such an end unit which, while it is commercially satisfactory, did not produce end units having the required buckle resistance. That tooling has been modified by changing the configuration of a punch core (10) so as to eliminate a previously formed cylindrical extension of the end unit chuck wall and a countersink starter. The punch core (10) cooperates with a die core (26) to clamp a center panel of a formed end unit shell (60) so as to move the center panel reversely of its forming direction and to effect a folding of an outer peripheral portion (50) of the center panel in a lower part of the previously formed chuck wall into the required countersink.

Granted: 2005-11-09
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for filtering, responsive to a logical specification of a network farm and a communication model for the farm, a tree topology network specification to obtain a filtered tree topology network specification is disclosed. The filtered tree topology network specification has fewer devices therein relative to the tree topology network specification, devices needed for constructing the farm being available in the filtered tree topology network specification. The method includes removing a first set of devices and a first set of switching elements from the tree topology network specification starting at the lowest level of the tree topology network specification and working toward the root node of the tree topology network specification. Each device in the first set of devices represents one of a redundant device, a device having a type unneeded by the farm, and a device unavailable for constructing the farm. Each switching element in the first set of switching elements represents a switching element whose children devices are all members of the first set of devices.

Title: Progressively engageable elongate fasteners
Inventor: CLARK DAVID FRANCIS
IPC: A44B19/32
Filed: 1988-02-12
Granted: 1991-02-06
Abstract: The invention provides a fastener which somewhat resembles a slide fastener but which can be made at least substantially fluid-resistant. It comprises a first component (1), of flexible and resilient material, having an engagement formation having a longitudinal groove (6) and longitudinally spaced mating formations (10), and a second component (2), of similar material, having a rib (16) and longitudinally spaced mating formations (19). The components can be progressively engaged by the introduction of the rib into the groove and the interengagement of the mating formations. The latter prevent significant relative longitudinal movement between the components. Each component can be made by extrusion of a blank followed by the formation of the mating formations by a rotary die (123). The components can be engaged and disengaged by means of a slide (52) like that used in a conventional slide fastener. To prevent the inadvertent disengagement of the components, the component may have longitudinal retaining or locking formations (7,17) and/or interlocking mating formations (10,19). Numerous other examples are illustrated.

Title: Hybrid predictive coding and decoding for digital video signals
Inventor: WELLS NICHOLAS DOMINIC
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1990-09-06
Granted: 1994-05-25
Abstract: In a coder for digital video signals, the difference between the ditigal video signals and prediction signals is subject to a transform prior to quantisation. In particular, a transform applied to the values of a block of pixels to produce sets of coefficients in the spatial frequency domain. A quantiser (14) acts on the coefficients to product a coded output which is decoded at a local decoder (18) operative on the coded output. The coder further includes means (20) for adding the prediction signal to the output of the local decoder (18) and a framestore (22) which receives the output of the adding means (20). A multiplier (26) multiplies the output of the framestore (22) by a factor slightly less than unity to form the prediction signal.
