Title: Apparatus for Controlling a Component of a Machine for Making Textile Webs
IPC: F15B7/08
Filed: 1980-05-06
Abstract: Apparatus for programming a servo-element for controlling a component of a machine for making a textile web, for example for positioning a guide bar of a knitting machine, comprises a hydraulic servomotor (16) comprising a movable wall in the form of a piston (25) which is connected to the guide bar (11) and having at least one input device (18, 19, 20) having a movable wall also in the form of a piston (30, 31, 32). The total content of hydraulic fluid (33) in the two is constant. The input device (18, 19, 20) displaces hydraulic fluid (33) which is received by the servomotor (16) and moves the servomotor piston (25) and guide bar (11). During the return motion, the servomotor piston (25) pushes the hydraulic fluid (33) back into the input device (18, 19, 20) and thus moves the input device back to the starting position. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2072725-A (GB)
Title: Continuous print dyeing of a cloth
IPC: D06B23/16
Filed: 1981-03-25
Abstract: In a method for the continuous print-dyeing of a cloth utilising a high pressure steamer 1, immediately after the printed cloth enters the steamer, hot water at a temperature nearly equal to the temperature of the interior of the steamer is jetted out of nozzles 9 on to the surface of the cloth which has not been print-dyed, to such an extent that the water just flows on the surface. The wet heat treatment of the resultant cloth causes the printed dye to permeate rapidly to the core part of the cloth and to become fixed. Instead of hot water, a hot dye solution may be jetted at the reverse surface of the cloth, so that a solid colour is simultaneously dyed on the reverse of the cloth as the printed dye is fixed. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of producing ring- shaped metal parts
Inventor: NAKAZAWA SHIGEO
IPC: B21K1/30
Filed: 1981-12-03
Abstract: A method of producing a plurality of identical ring-shaped metal parts (34) from a single blank in the form of solid rod without forming any hole in the blank and without cross- sectionally cutting the blank. First the blank is longitudinally compressed such that an end portion of the blank undergoes upsetting and provides a laterally expanded portion (33) having a side periphery corresponding to the outer periphery of the metal parts (34) and a length corresponding to the thickness of the metal parts. Then the laterally expanded portion (33) is subjected to shearing along a plane defining the outer periphery of the blank to part its peripheral region as one of the ring-shaped metal parts (34). The blank (35) remains in the solid rod form, though somewhat shortened, and therefore can be used to produce additional metal parts (34) by repeating the same procedure until it becomes very short. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2125257-A (GB)
Title: Improved local area network systems
Inventor: BEAUFOY RAYMOND
IPC: G06F13/374
Filed: 1982-08-04
Abstract: In local area networks where a number of terminal equipment stations communicate with each other directly over a common medium (optic fibre, co-axial cable, or broadcasts using radio, ultrasonic, infra red etc) every station monitors the medium continuously and can distinguish between a free level (level 0) a single application (level 1) and a multiple application (level 2). When the waiting station detects a level 1 the last of the previous group is being served and when the line becomes free it can apply its request signal. If this results in a level 1 signal after a suitable guard time the requesting station knows that it is the only applicant and can start its traffic transaction. For the purposes of contention resolution every station has a binary number which may comprise, depending on system requirements, any of the following:-     A) A measure of the time for which the station has been waiting.   B) A number unique to the station.   C) A combination of A followed by B.   A allows the stations to be allocated in order of application, B allows the allocation of a group before newcomers whereas C allows the allocation and takes into account both priority and time of request.
Patent GB-2126642-A (GB)
Title: A lock mechanism
Inventor: EDWARDS HENRY JOHN
IPC: E05B43/00
Filed: 1982-08-21
Abstract: The lock, for use with a security bag, has a pair of pivoted plates 15 spring biased to engage an annular groove 2 in a bolt 1 but held in a retracted position by pins 57, 58 engaging holes in the plates, the pins being withdrawn by the bolt on insertion into the bore 9. In the locked position a further pair of pins engage holes in the plates 15. Insertion of the bolt also starts a timing device to indicate the time of locking. If an attempt is made to start the timing device prior to insertion of the correct bolt, the locking mechanism will be triggered preventing subsequent insertion of the bolt. The lock is released by removing a locked cover plate and inserting a tool to withdraw the second pair of pins. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2128681-A (GB)
Title: Fluid-pressure operated device
Inventor: LANE EDWIN LEONARD
IPC: F15B15/28
Filed: 1982-10-11
Abstract: A fluid-pressure operated device comprising a piston (2) movable in a cylinder (1) carried on one end wall (10) of the cylinder a control or transducing element or elements, for example, two switches (49 and 50) or valves. The switches are actuated from inside the cylinder by an actuating rod (11) which is slidable axially in the piston and the end wall of the cylinder and which carries two trips (35 and 36) externally of this end wall for cooperation with the switches. Internally of the cylinder the actuating rod carries two abutments (15 and 18) which are engageable by the piston when the latter reaches predetermined positions during its stroke in one direction and in the other direction. The engagement of the piston with one or the other abutment causes axial displacement of the rod in one or the other direction to actuate one or the other switches. To avoid the possibility of false actuation of the switches due to the effects of pressure acting directly on the actuating rod in the cylinder, the rod is constructed so as to be balanced under the axial forces exerted on the rod by the pressure. <IMAGE>

Title: Bottle packages
Inventor: KLYGIS MINDAUGAS JULIUS
IPC: B65D71/06
Filed: 1982-10-15
Abstract: A highly stretched tubular sleeve (14) of resilient elastic plastics material is positioned about an array of two or more bottles so that the sleeve exerts a resilient compressive force on all areas of contact between the sleeve and bottles to effectively unitize the package. The wall thickness of the sleeve is less than 4 mils (0.004 inch, 0.10 mm) and the unstretched circumferential dimension of the sleeve is at least 20% smaller than the circumferential dimension of that portion of the array contacted by the sleeve. The bottles are of the deformable plastics type and the stretched sleeve causes the areas of contact between the bottles to be deformed to provide generally planar surface areas (34). <IMAGE>

Title: Editing of teletext
Inventor: LOPINTO JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: H04N7/08
Filed: 1983-07-14
Abstract: To transmit a number of magazines, each normally made up of multiple pages, by Teletext, e.g. from a central station by satellite, on a dedicated channel in such a way that one or more magazines may be provided locally, each raster line interval of a video signal carries digital codes for characters to make up the rows on a page. The same raster lines in successive fields are allotted to the same magazine, thus ensuring that a group of lines allotted to one magazine carry successive blocks of characters of the rows making up the pages of this magazine. To insert locally such a group, which may be left blank in the central transmission or may carry unwanted data, the signal is retransmitted with the raster line spaces of specified number filled with data from the local source.
