Patent GB-2104481-A (GB)
Title: Device for containing a predetermined volume of slurry or liquid
Inventor: BOWDEN GODFREY HAROLD
IPC: G01N1/10
Filed: 1982-08-05
Abstract: A device for containing a predetermined volume of slurry or liquid, for example for the collection of samples to be analysed for process control comprises a U-shaped collection tube (3) which has an inlet arm (4) and an outlet arm (5), the outlet (5) communicating directly with a siphonic discharge passage 8 so that when the space (3) is filled, a meniscus forms at the junction between the outlet arm 5 and the siphon passage (8). This enables a precisely repeatable sample volume to be collected. By having the inlet arm of a substantially greater internal volume than the outlet arm, the effect of slight changes in the meniscus level is reduced. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-824288-A (GB)
Abstract: 824,288. Electromagnetic relays. SANGAMO WESTON Ltd. Feb. 17, 1956 [July 14, 1955], No. 5049/56. Class 38 (5). In an electrical instrument a rotatable coil is suspended by upper and lower torsion elements which also convey current to the coil, at least one element being mechanically connected to the coil through a spring deformable in the direction of the rotational axis but substantially free from torsion. Fig. 1 shows a relay in which the moving coil 13 is suspended by two torsion elements 35, 36 attached to the coil 13 by springs 18, 20 which provide resilience in the rotational axis. The construction of springs 18, 20 is detailed in Figs. 4 to 10 (not shown). The coil is free to rotate in the field of the magnetic circuit comprising three permanent magnets 10, 11 and the lower part of the soft iron case 12. Two of the permanent magnets 11 may be omitted. The upper part of the frame 12a may be of brass or soft iron. Electrical connections to the coil are made via terminals 45, 50 and the suspension. As shown in Fig. 3, a moving contact arm 22 is attached to the coil 13 and carries a soft iron rider 23 for engagement with the magnetized contact 52. The moving contact arm 22 may either be connected to terminal 33 via a hair spring 26 or may be connected to one end of the moving coil 13. The relay is reset by a spring-loaded push-button 64 attached to a sliding rod 61. The latter may be operated by a solenoid. In Fig. 11, the contact arm carries two soft iron riders 23, 23a for engagement with magnetized contacts 52, 52a. Fig. 12 shows a central-zero embodiment in which the magnetized contacts 97 are attached to pivoted arms 96. The relay is reset by energizing the solenoid 94 which attracts a soft iron disc 98 at the end of each arm 96 against the tension of spring 99 until the contact arm 22 engages a stop 101. Further movement of the arm 96 reduces the field of the magnetized contact 97 in the vicinity of the rider 23 so that the moving system is returned to its normal position by the torsion suspension. Fig. 13 (not shown) relates to zero adjustment of the coil by rotation of an insulating bush carrying the upper torsion element.

Patent GB-2139439-A (GB)
Title: Temperature measuring device
Inventor: NONAKA KEI
IPC: G01K13/00
Filed: 1983-05-05
Abstract: A temperature measuring device comprises oscillator circuits (1,2) for producing two oscillating signals whose frequency-temperature coefficients are substantially different from one another, the frequency- temp. coefficient of oscillator 1 preferably being negligible by comparison. A frequency divider circuit (3) frequency divides one of the oscillating signals to produce a gate timing signal, and a counter (5) for counting the other oscillating signal or a signal related thereto in dependence upon the gate timing signal to produce a signal whose value is a measure of the temperature of the oscillating circuits. The accuracy of measurement can be adjusted by altering the gate timing signal by means of switches (S1) controlling the division ratio of the frequency divider circuit (3). <IMAGE>

A second sole portion 13 is moulded on the first sole portion 7, forming projections 15 which extend into the recess in sole portion 7 to the webs 12. The webs 12 are removed, e.g. by grinding, to expose the projections 15 of the second sole portion 13. The webs 12 may be formed below the general level of the first sole portion 7 or may be forced outwardly by the projections 15 to facilitate removal of the web to expose the projections 15. The latter provide a design which is visible on the outer surface of the sole portion 7, the two sole portions being of different colours. The first sole portion 7 is moulded in a two port mould (2), 3, Figures 1, 2 (not shown), the mould port 3 with the sole portion 7 thereon defining the mould cavity for second sole portion 13 along with side moulds 4 and a lasted upper 5, 6. <IMAGE>

Title: Hydraulic actuating unit
Inventor: ANDERS HANS-JOACHIM
IPC: F16J15/32
Filed: 1983-08-31
Abstract: The unit comprises a cylinder housing (8) and a piston (7), which latter is axially movable out of the open end (13) of the cylinder housing (8), as well as an annular seal (9) in an annular groove (10) in the cylinder housing (8). The radially outer wall (22) of the annular groove (10) extends like a truncated cone and is enlarged towards the open end (13). The annular groove (10) is confined by the back wall (24) and the front wall (25). A step (28) extends at the front wall (25) in the direction of the open end (13) of the cylinder housing (8). This step (28) enables larger piston travels without the piston (7), in motion, sliding past the seal (9) and causing an adjustment of the hydraulic actuating unit to take place much too early. The deformed seal in the step provides a retraction force to prevent heated brakes from rubbing against a disc. <IMAGE>
