Title: Method of making a moulded article
Inventor: WALLBANK JAMES
IPC: B22C9/12
Filed: 1988-08-03
Granted: 1991-02-28
Abstract: In the production of moulds for making moulded articles, eg foundry moulds for producing castings, it is known to consolidate resin-coated granular filler in a moulding box containing a pattern to form the moulded pieces. A gas such as SO2 is passed through the filler to cause it to set. However, after repeated use, resin buildings up on the pattern plate. According to the invention, the pattern is provided with alayer of silicone release agent such as siloxane which prevents resin build-up yet can be easily washed away.

Abstract: Gas scrubbing apparatus and method, employing highly charged liquid droplets for removal of both particulates and pollutant gases from the gas to be cleaned, allowing scrubbing of uncharged particulates by means of monopole-dipole attractive forces between the charged liquid droplets and the electric dipoles induced in the uncharged particulates by the charged droplets; employing electrode geometry at the site of droplet production and charging, having spreading liquid sheet electrodes emitting the droplets from the edges of the liquid sheets, interspersed with electrically conductive induction electrodes, with electrostatic potential of no more than about 20 kv existing between the induction electrode array and the array of liquid sheets, and with spacing such that adequately high electric field strength can be maintained at the edges of the liquid sheets to allow adequate charging of the droplets emitted from the liquid sheets, without the occurrence of corona discharges which could deplete droplet charges or interfere with production of the electric field strength required for adequate droplet charging; allowing the particulate and pollutant gas scrubbing procedures to be carried out simultaneously in a single chamber; requiring no substantial power other than that for the blower or other means which moves the gas to be cleaned through the cleaning chamber; and allowing these results to be achieved with low liquid-to-gas flow ratios.

Granted: 1998-03-12
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB95/02536 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 28, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 28, 1997 PCT Filed Oct. 27, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/13639 PCT Pub. Date May 9, 1996This application discloses apparatus for logging the operation of a valve (10) of the type having a spindle (16) rotatable by a key (20) to effect opening and closing thereof, the apparatus including operative means (36) which are in use carried on a key (20), the operative means being operable independently of any other apparatus or electronic equipment to detect rotary motion of the key during operation of the valve. Preferably, the operative means includes sensor means (40, 42) sensitive to the earth's magnetic field, and is operative to determine rotation of the key by analysis of signals generated by the sensor means. By detecting valve operation with operative means on a key, the expense of providing detection apparatus for each valve is avoided (the total number of keys being much less than the total number of valves), as is the need to provide potentially delicate equipment in the hostile environs of the valves.

Title: Process & apparatus for processing security paper webs or security paper sheets to form bundles
Inventor: KUHFUSS RUNWALT
IPC: B41F11/02
Filed: 1985-07-04
Granted: 1988-05-05
Abstract: Processing is based on print carriers in the form of security paper webs or security paper sheets, containing security paper prints which are arranged in the manner of matrices in transverse rows and longitudinal rows and on which spoilt notes are identified by a mark which can be read by a reading instrument. The print carriers pass, in succession, by a reading instrument which detects the positions of the spoilt notes and feeds them into a computer for storage, a cancellation printer controlled by this computer, which provides spoilt notes with a cancellation print, and a numbering machine. The numbering mechanisms of this numbering machine are moved forward by the computer in such a way that always the satisfactory security paper prints, placed in succession in any longitudinal row, are serially numbered, the spoilt notes being neglected. Subsequently, the print carries, having passed by another reading instrument, are cut up into individual security papers, the spoilt notes are separated out in a separation device and the remaining, serially numbered individual security papers are assembled to form bundles, each having a complete numerical sequence. In this way, correct and complete numerical sequence of the security papers contained in the automatically produced security paper bundles and security paper parcels is ensured, in spite of the separation of spoilt notes.
