Patent GB-2117945-A (GB)
Title: Memory data transfer
Inventor: MORRISON BRIAN D
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 1983-03-25
Abstract: A byte-addressable memory system has an array 30 of transceivers (32-62) with control logic which enables a memory (28) to be addressable on individual byte boundaries rather than on two byte (word) or four byte (longword) boundaries. The memory 28 has two independent even-address and odd- address segments allowing parallel access to two longwords (eight bytes or one quadword) simultaneously. Logic determines which of the eight bytes should be placed on a four byte bus 90 and the sequential order of the bytes on the bus 90. The entire operation takes place in one memory cycle time period and can start at any byte address. The control logic is implemented as four programmable logic arrays. One set of four one-byte buses 82, 84, 86, and 88 couples the four RAMs 20, 22, 24 and 26 to respective columns of transceivers of the array 30, and another set of four one-byte buses 72, 74, 76 and 78 couples the rows of transceivers of the array 30 to the system bus 90. <IMAGE>

Title: Filter apparatus
Inventor: MARTIN ALAN
IPC: B01D29/11
Filed: 1984-06-09
Abstract: The apparatus 2 has an inward flow tubular filter element 16 arranged to be cleaned by back- washing using liquid filtrate from which suspended matter has been removed by passage of the liquid through the filter element. The filter element 16 defines a barrel in which a piston 30 is arranged to reciprocate. During back-washing, reciprocation of the piston 30 forces liquid filtrate outwardly through the filter element 16 to dislodge filtered out contaminant from the exterior thereof. Back- washing may be automatically initiated by a timer or in response to a fall in filtrate pressure below a predetermined amount. <IMAGE>

Title: Bus arbiter
Inventor: JASKOWIAK KENNETH R
IPC: G06F15/177
Filed: 1985-10-29
Abstract: A digital system bus arbiter network provides prioritized but equal opportunity for various devices 5 to 20 to gain access to a common bus 22. A bus access enable unit 36 samples the state of all pending requests for bus access at a gate 28. The current requests are stored in a memory 30. A sequence of bus access granting signals 481-4816 in an order determined by the priority of the stored bus requests are generated by a priority resolver 32 which analyses the stored requests. When all of the bus requests have been processed for a given sample period, the network resamples currently pending bus requests and repeats the process of generating the sequence of bus granting signals on a prioritized basis. The network guarantees an equal share of bus bandwidth to each device. The bus grant signals 481-4816 are synchronized with the bus clock signal 38 by means of a gated clock signal 45 and a synchronizer 34. The stored requests are reset in sequence in the memory 30 in response to the bus grant signals 481-4816. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1985-11-02
Abstract: This invention relates to a locking device of the kind which comprises a housing 12 containing a rotable spindle 14 on which is mounted a rotor 13 so as to be rotatable therewith. The rotor is formed with a plurality of axially extending bores which contain key engageable pins such as pin 21 and the housing itself is also formed with a plurality of axially extending bores 22 in which are mounted a plurality of locking pins 23. Springs 24 serve to urge the pins 23 outwardly and pins 21 can be engaged by a key which can be moved axially to push the pins and the to positions in which their interengaging end surfaces lie in a common plane which contains an axial end of the rotor 13 to enable it to be turned relative to the housing 12 by turning said key. In accordance with the invention the rotor 13 is provided with an indicator pin 36 having an outer end which is coloured or shaped or otherwise marked or treated so as to be readily visibly distinguishable from the remainder of the rotor pins. Such visibly distinguishable indicator pin 36, (as shown in Fig. 3 pin 36 is rectangular rather than cylindrical), is thus arranged to provide a visible indication of the angular position of the rotor 13 relative to the housing 12. <IMAGE>

Title: Gauge plate for producing ellipse with compasses
Inventor: HENDRY JAMES CALDER
IPC: B43L11/04
Filed: 1986-04-01
Abstract: The invention relates to an "Ellipse Gauge Plate" which is a device comprising a plate of transparent material with lines marked on it which enable the determination of the centres and radii necessary to produce an accurate representation of an ellipse using a pair of compasses. Figure (1) shows a typical Gauge Plate bearing the lines AC, AD, and EB. In use it is positioned so that lines AC and AD respectively intersect major and minor-semi-axes at their extremities. The intersections of the line through points E and B, extended if necessary, with the major and minor axis provides centres C1, C2 on which compasses may be located. Two complementary centres are derived from these by marking off and the ellipse is then constructed from four circular arcs. In a modification the plate carries three sets of lines which provide optimum accuracy for differing major/minor axis ratios. <IMAGE>

Title: Green malt
Inventor: MACARTNEY IAN
IPC: A23L7/20
Filed: 1986-08-06
Abstract: Green malt will deteriorate during storage and/or transport if not kiln dried. Kiln drying tends to impair the enzymic activity of the malt. A green malt slurry is provided in which the pH is maintained at or near the pH of unslurried malt, generally above pH 5. The slurried malt does not deteriorate during transport and/or storage and the enzymic activity of the malt is not affected. The pH may be maintained by keeping the green malt slurry at a temperature not exceeding 10 DEG C or by the additions of chemicals e.g. potassium metabisulphite. The green malt may be produced from barley, wheat or rye.

Title: Electrical or electronic equipment rack cabinet
Inventor: FURNESS GRAHAM
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 1986-11-13
Abstract: An equipment cabinet has a central spine (1) which also acts as a chimney for hot air, and which supports circuit units (such as 5) by outriggers, which also couple the spine to the side walls (2, 3). The circuit units (except the top ones) have baffles (6) over them. In addition there are gaps at the bottom of the spine, in the sides of the spine, by the baffles and in the side walls. Hence cooling air is guided up the cabinet, possibly by an extractor fan at the top. In an alternative arrangement there are two similar columns one at each side of the cabinet, each of which supports a set of outriggers with circuit units and baffles. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2215413-A (GB)
Title: Gearbox control unit
Inventor: JENNINS WILLIAM STUART
IPC: F16H61/662
Filed: 1988-02-23
Abstract: An hydraulic actuator for a variator-type CVT includes a piston 10 operable by hydraulic pressure in response to an electric input. e.g. from a microprocessor. The pressure on the piston is controlled by a duplex valve 3, 9 such that the pressure on the piston 10 is reduced part way through the stroke. The electric input activates solenoid 1, 2 to apply force to tubular spindle 3 admitting pressure to chamber 6 via inlet 7. Pressure in chamber 6 builds up to balance force of solenoid 2 and is also applied to piston 10 via passage 12. As piston 10 moves against spring 19, pressure will enter chambers via passages 12 and 15. Thus hydraulic fluid acting downwardly on spindle 3 against solenoid 2 acts over a large area (chambers 5 and 6) than initially, resulting in a lower pressure being established in chambers 5, 6. <IMAGE>
