Title: Variable fulcrum position for inlet valve actuation in 8-stroke engines
Inventor: BLACKBURN ANTHONY EDGAR
IPC: F01L13/00
Filed: 2007-07-28
Abstract: An 8 stroke and 4 stroke cycle change, Cool Charge or Blackburn cycle engine where the opening travel of an inlet valve 2 is variable due to a variable fulcrum position on a lever, rocker or link 4 transmitting motion from a cam 3 to an inlet valve 2 eliminating the need for a throttle. The fulcrum 5 may be moved by a rod 6. A locater 7 may engage a groove in the rocker 4 to prevent the rocker from moving out of position. The 8 stroke mode requires a camshaft driven at one-quarter crankshaft speed and two alternate opening inlet valves for each cylinder to admit alternate 'air only' inductions between fuel/air inductions. A bar or link is movable to connect both inlet valves, rockers or levers so that both inlet valves open together for maximum power in 4 stroke mode. Hydraulic valve clearance adjustment is provided within the fulcrum.

Title: An improved method for compression detection during transmitter level training
Inventor: BEN-AYUN MOSHE
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2008-03-27
Abstract: The onset of power amplifier compression during closed-loop level training of an RF transmitter is more readily detected by using a nonlinear input test waveform 203 which in conjunction with the dominant pole of the loop filter (113, figure 1) provides a substantially flat loop error signal 303 until compression occurs. The onset of compression produces a rise in the loop error signal 303 which is more distinct than the rise in the loop error signal 301 apparent when a linear ramp is used. Training may be performed during CLCH slots in a TETRA system.

Title: Powered cutting tool
Inventor: ELLIOT KEITH STUART
IPC: B26D5/12
Filed: 2008-10-16
Abstract: A powered tool 1 for cutting underwater cables comprises a bifurcate body 2 with spaced first and second arms 3, 4. An anvil pin 6 can reciprocate through the first arms 3 between a first position, in which an item to be cut can be located in the body between the first and second arms, and a second position, in which it seats in the second arm 4 to trap the item within the body. A blade 9 is slidable between the arms of the body to contact the anvil pin when the anvil pin is in its second position. Movement of the anvil pin and the blade is powered using a pressurizing fluid. To prevent flow of the pressurizing fluid to power the blade prior to adequate seating of the anvil pin in the second arm, a valve (13, Fig. 5) is provided to control the flow of pressurizing fluid for operation of the blade. Actuation of the valve, preferably by a plunger (26, Fig. 5) moved synchronously with the anvil pin, is only triggered when the anvil pin has seated adequately in the second arm of the body.

Title: A hashing scheme is used to facilitate identifying the presence of matching information items on different network nodes without disclosing the information.
Inventor: KAAL MADIS
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2009-11-10
Abstract: The presence of matching information items in a network is identified by: using a hashing scheme to generate first hash values from respective first information items (e.g. friend/contact information) stored at a first node S402; transmitting the first hash values to a second node S404; comparing the first hash values at the second node with second hash values generated, using the hashing scheme, from respective second information items stored in the network S406; determining at least one matching hash value between the first and second hash values S408; using the determined value to identify the presence of a matching information item between the first and second information items, wherein the hashing scheme is chosen to ensure sufficient collisions so that a unique hash value in the hashing scheme indicates a sufficient number of information items to prevent the unique hash value being used as an identifier of a unique information item. Consequently the transmission of the first hash values to the second node does not disclose the first information items to the second node.

Title: Process for the manufacture of oily pastes or emulsions from mineral and other oils
Filed: 1921-04-06
Abstract: Oils, particularly mineral and tar oils, are subjected to high-speed disintegration in a colloid mill, such as that described in Specification 155,836, [Class 59, Grinding, crushing, &c.], in presence of water and of an insoluble mineral solid, for example, colloidal graphite, calcined magnesia, or magnesium carbonate.  Talc or graphite may be added to increase the consistency of the product. Pastes are obtained when not more than 6 parts of water to 1 part of oil are employed; liquid emulsions when the water exceeds this proportion.  The products are suitable for use as lubricants.  Four typical compositions are as follows: (1) 1 part of viscous hydrocarbon oil, 1 part of colloidal graphite, 1-2 parts of water, and 1-3 per cent of cocoa-butter or like fat; (2) 1 part of low-temperature tar oil, 3-4 parts of water, and 1/2 -2 per cent of magnesium carbonate with or without 1-2 parts of graphite or talc; (3) 1 part of tar oil from Saxon brown coal, 3-5 parts of water, 1-2 parts of talc, and 1-5 per cent of glycerine or glycol; (4) 1 part of fish oil, 5-8 parts of water, and 1/2 -1 per cent of calcined magnesia.  Sulphonated castor oil may be used as a protective colloid.  The Provisional Specification also states that the insoluble mineral solid may be dispensed with, and gives further examples.
