Title: Device for arming and sterilising an electric fuze for ammunition
IPC: F42C15/24
Filed: 1983-08-12
Abstract: The invention is directed to the provision of a safety device to prevent premature detonation of ammunition, particularly low spin projectiles of the type in which a primer pellet is positioned in a rotor which rotates from an unarmed to an armed position upon firing. The safety device is biased under the action of the spring to project into a groove in the rotor so as to be engageable with an end face of the groove. If the projectile is fired with normal acceleration, the resulting force will cause the safety device to become disengaged from the groove in the rotor against the action of the spring. If acceleration is below normal, the safety device will engage the rotor and lock it in an unarmed position. An inertial mass lock is also provided as an additional measure against accidental or premature arming of the projectile. A retard mechanism delays rotation of the rotor to an armed position for a selected time period sufficient for the projectile to advance a safe distance from a gun or launcher before becoming armed.
Patent EP-0097631-A3 (EP)
IPC: F28D21/00
Filed: 1983-06-09
Abstract: In order to obtain a favourable combustion, including an 
efficient destruction of soot, neutralization of acid combus­
tion residues and recovery of residual heat, the flame from 
an oil burner (53) is directed axially into a tube (52) of 
refractory material. At the exit from the tube there is a porous 
slab (54) of refractory material which, in use, is maintained in 
incandescent state, so soot will be consumed.  
     The soot-free combustion gases are transferred into a 
column (60) in the upper portion of which a neutralizing 
agent containing fluid is sprayed through a nozzle (65). The 
fluid is collected in the lower portion (79) of the column for 
recirculation to the nozzle (65) by means of a pump (63). The 
neutralizing agent is added by means of a metering device 
(67), and a heat recovering coil (70) is provided in the fluid 
containing, lower portion (62) of the column.

Patent EP-0134967-A3 (EP)
Title: A data processing system incorporating an automatic reset arrangement
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 1984-07-05
Abstract: Cartridges for a microcomputer have two adjacent edge connectors replaced by a single connector (14) with a projection (29) which passes into the area in which the adjacent connector would normaliy be placed. When the cartridge is inserted or removed from the connector socket (3) in the microcomputer, the projection transiently shorts a pair associated socket contacts (27,28). A fixed potential (for example earth potential) normally applied to the main portion of the edge connector from its associated contact (28) of the pair is therefore transferred to the transiently contacted contact (27) to provide a reset signal for the microprocessor of the microcomputer. Thus, the microprocessor is reset each time a cartridge is inserted or withdrawn.

Patent EP-0206693-A3 (EP)
IPC: B29D30/24
Filed: 1986-06-13
Abstract: A tire building machine and method utilizes an annular rotatable 
expandable drum or deck (12). Associated with each deck edge is a bladder 
assembly (17, 18) which, when inflated, causes the portion of the tire 
material overlapping the deck edge (15, 16) to fold back upon itself at such 
edge to form a folded edge, as in a belt folding machine, or to wrap around a 
bead, as in a tire building machine. When not inflated the bladders lie flat 
and extend axially of the deck edges and radially slightly interiorly of the 
deck surface. In order to facilitate the winding of the material onto the 
drum from a suitable servicer, either automatically or manually, the deck is 
provided with lateral rigid extension (30, 31) which overlie the bladder 
assemblies when not inflated and which are designed to underlie the leading 
and/or trailing edge of the tire material. The lateral extensions may be 
provided with vacuum or magnetic grippers (142), the latter employed with 
steel belt material, either of which may be activated or deactivated or 
continuously operative. In this manner, the lateral extensions permit the 
machine to operate in a substantially automatic mode both as to winding and 
splicing. Because of the bias angle at which the material may be cut, the 
lateral extensions may be positioned substantially circumferentially offset 
from each other. Because the lateral extension would normally interfere 
with the action of the bladder asemblies when inflated, such lateral 
extensions are mounted for retraction and/or elevation to clear the path of 
the bladder assemblies when inflated.

Title: Switching arrangement for reducing the2switching power upon closing and opening a switch with a resistive and a capacitive load
IPC: H01H9/54
Filed: 1987-03-17
Abstract: The switching arrangement contains a changeover switch (1b) in the form of a contact set of a relay (15). The switching power of the first switching path a-b is to be reduced since a capacitor (2) can discharge through it. In the event of opening of the second switching path b-c, the operating path for normal operation, a power field- effect transistor (8) takes over a part of the capacitor charge, so that only a relatively small current flows through it after the dead time of the relay (15) and the closing of the first switching path (a- b). In the event of a later opening of the first switching path (a-b), the power field-effect transistor (8) starts to conduct again and holds the voltage supplying the capacitor (2) at a low level during the dead time of the relay (15), so that the first switching path (a- b) is loaded only with a limited switching voltage. This switching arrangement is suitable for the protection of phantom-circuit locking switches in the case of interaction of carrier-frequency channel converters and primary digital-signal multiplexer equipment. <IMAGE>
