Patent GB-0013037-D0 (GB)
Title: Tension measuring device
IPC: A61B17/56
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: The invention describes a device used to measure the tension of a soft tissue 24 attached to bones 20,22. The device 2 comprises a body region 4 having force applying means 6 and abutment means 8 extending outwardly therefrom. A spike region 8b of the abutment means 8 is extended in direction X to thereby abut the surface of bone 22. The force of the abutment is measurable by a displacement on a translation scale 14. An operator pulls on the device 2 in direction Y thereby applying an anterior force (measured by a displacement on a force scale 14) to the tissue 24 via a hook region 6b of the force applying means 6. The application of said anterior force on to the tissue 24 results in an anterior translation of the tissue 24. The tension of the tissue 24 may be calculated from the displacements on the force scale 12 and translation scale 14. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is disclosed a logic signal multiplier circuit which includes the interconnection of a plurality of inverters having outputs interconnected by a capacitor. Each of the inverters includes complementary transistors having their gates connected to a common terminal such that each inverter may be controlled by a separate clock control signal.

Title: Fuel injection pump for i c engines
IPC: F02M59/36
Filed: 1988-01-29
Abstract: A fuel injection pump of the distributor pump type having a pump piston driven for simultaneous reciprocation and rotation, the supply quantity of which that is effective for injection is controlled by the opening of a relief conduit of the pump work chamber in that with the aid of a mechanical regulator an annular slide is moved into variable stroke positions on the pump piston. Additionally, for an electronic regulation of the total injection quantity, a pre-stroke (hv) is provided, which is determined by a first valve and which, under the control of a second, electrically controlled valve connected to the output side of the first valve, is added to the basic supply stroke in a variably effective manner in terms of injection. Thus the fuel injection quantity can be regulated within the context of the fuel injection quantity difference resulting from the pre-stroke.

Title: Electroconductive coatings
IPC: C23C4/02
Filed: 1988-02-18
Abstract: This invention relates to glass (1,4) carrying an electroconductive coating (7) and, in particular, to a method of applying bus bars (3,6) on the glass (1,4) to establish electrical contact with the coating (7) and to coated glass (1,4) provided with bus bars (3,6) in accordance with the invention. The method of applying the bus bars (3,6) to the electroconductive coating (7) involves arc spraying molten metal e.g. aluminium on to the coated glass (1,4) in the required configuration which can be defined by either placing a stencil over the surface of the coated glass (1,4) or using adhesive tape (5) to define the required configuration, and then spraying the molten metal. Aluminium has been found to be a most suitable metal for the bus bars and this can be oversprayed with a layer of copper, zinc, tin, a tin alloy, stainless steel, nickel, brass or copper nickel alloy if required. In certain circumstances, for use in architectural applications for e.g. electromagnetic shielding purposes, the bus bars are wrapped around the edge of the glass to provide electrical contact means when the glass is used in a laminate or a double glazing unit.

Title: Television device with processing of teletext signals
IPC: H04N7/025
Filed: 1990-06-15
Abstract: A digital teletext signal is transmitted during part of a vertical blanking period of a television signal. A clock oscillator synchronized by the teletext signal is coupled to a synchronizing input of a logic circuit providing clock and data signals for teletext processing. To prevent high harmonics that are included in the clock and data signals from producing interference within the reproduced picture, the amplitude of an output signal of the clock oscillator is reduced, during vertical trace, when the teletext signal is not transmitted to prevent switching operations in the logic circuit.

Title: Exhaust gas particle sensor
IPC: G01N21/27
Filed: 1991-10-22
Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) 20 is mounted on the surface of a header 42 and a photodiode 41 is mounted on an orthogonal extension 43 of the header such that some of the light emitted by the LED 20 falls directly on the photodiode without having undergone reflection from other surfaces. The photodiode is used to sense the output intensity of the LED. The direct optical path between LED and sensor means that the photodiode output is insensitive to movement between the assembly and its surroundings, which movement can give rise to errors in prior art arrangements involving reflection from a further surface. The assembly may be used in an exhaust gas sensor in conjunction with a further photodiode. <IMAGE>
