Title: Escape door latch
IPC: E05B39/02
Filed: 1982-03-19
Abstract: An escape door latch includes a bolt (12) which is biased into an extended condition by means of a torsion spring (18) acting differentially on two abutments (25, 26) carried by the bolt. The force which acts on the bolt in the outward direction is applied to the abutment (25) by means of a pivoted member (19), but when a frangible member is broken, the member (19) is caused to move laterally so as to transfer the contact edge (24) from the abutment (25) on the bolt to an adjacent fixed abutment (27) on the casing, with the result that the force applied by the free end of the spring (22) to the other abutment (26) on the bolt is no longer compensated by an opposing, greater force applied to the abutment (25). In this way, the bolt (12) is automatically withdrawn by the torsion spring (15) which normally biases the bolt to its extended condition. <IMAGE>

Title: Timepiece with alarm and time setting device
IPC: G04C3/00
Filed: 1982-04-21
Abstract: A manually operable setting stem 1 has three stable axial positions defined by a pull out piece 4 cooperating with notches in the head 8a of a spring 8. The illustrated position is a pushed in, neutral position. In an intermediate pulled out position, a return bar 9 moves a sliding pinion 12 into engagement with a gear 17 in mesh with a gear 18 which is in turn in mesh with a gear 19 whose axis can swing about the axis of the gear 18. In the intermediate position, rotation of the stem in one sense adjusts a data ring 14 via a star-wheel 20 on the gear 19; rotation in the other sense adjusts the pre-set alarm time via a gear 21. In the fully pulled out position the return bar slides the pinion 12 further inwardly and with it the gear 17 which meshes with a gear 24 for setting the time indicating mechanism. The stem can be pushed in beyond the stable pushed in position to engage the tip 1a of the stem with an electrical contact. Such operation alternately turns the alarm mechanism on and off.

Title: Data communication system
Inventor: BURTON CHRISTOPHER PHILIP
IPC: H04L12/413
Filed: 1982-07-08
Abstract: A data communication system is described in which data processing stations communicate over a common channel. Before sending a message, each station, when it detects that the channel is idle, sends a warning pulse over the common channel, and then listens for a time equal to at least the round-trip time to the furthest station in the system, in case any other station has also sent a warning pulse. If no pulse is received, the station proceeds with sending its message. If a pulse is received the station, e.g. after a random delay, restarts the message sending cycle. <IMAGE>

Title: Liquid fuel supply pressure compensator
Inventor: TILSTON JOHN RONALD
IPC: G05D7/01
Filed: 1983-01-25
Abstract: The fuel distribution system of a gas turbine engine, 71, comprises a fuel pump 76 connected via pipes 74 to the combustion chamber fuel atomisers 73. At idle or low power running the fuel supply pressure is of the same order as the static head in the pipes and combustion at the top of the engine may be starved of fuel, a condition which can damage the turbine blades. To overcome this problem, float operated pressure compensators 75 equalise the fuel pressure at each atomiser by generating a pressure reduction in the supply pressure equal to the static head at each atomiser, the pressure reduction being independent of fuel flow rate. There is also automatic adjustment for acceleration generated increases in the static head. Several different float operated pressure compensators are described.   <IMAGE>
