Title: Automatic telecommunication system
Inventor: HARLAND GEOFFREY
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 1986-01-22
Abstract: Digital multiplex local lines (e.g. from ISPBX or an ISDN multiplexer) to a relatively modern analogue exchange (e.g. TXE4 or TXE4A) (6) are connected to a multiplex unit (5) which separates out the voice channels which terminate on the analogue exchange (6) and converts them to analogue form. Then they are applied to line circuits on the analogue exchange and the calls set up therethrough in normal manner. Digital channels on the same local line not stopping at the analogue exchange are routed to other multiplex units (9, 10) so that they bypass the analogue exchange. Some junctions from the analogue exchange go via suitable conversion (11) to digital junctions. The analogue exchange also serves analogue lines and junctions. The digital lines also pass via channel extraction and insertion units (2, 12, 13) to extract and insert as appropriate signalling messages conveyed in channel 16 of the multiplex junctions. These units are connected to a local area network (4) which also interconnect the analogue exchange control units, as in Application No. 2143403A (M. B. Kelly 1). <IMAGE>

Title: Folding textile materials
Inventor: JULIEN ROBERT
IPC: B65H45/04
Filed: 1987-05-13
Abstract: A folding machine for textile materials has an assembly consisting of a folding nose (20) for guiding the material and a compressed-air distributor (24) or rigid strip for urging it between a pair of calendering rollers (34, 36), this assembly being movably mounted so as to be able to assume a first position in which it delivers the textile material along a vertical path (B) near the rollers (34, 36), and a second position in which the textile material is delivered along a vertical path (A) distant from the rollers (34, 36). In this way accurate fold location may be achieved while enabling successive sheets of material to be fed at a higher frequency without fouling one another. Thus, whilst a first sheet, urged from position B, is taken up and folded by rollers 34, 36 a second sheet is already being delivered and guided by nose 20 along a path A spaced from path B. Predetermined sheet lengths along positions A and B respectively actuate displacement of the nose 20 to the first position and the urging of the sheet in the folding rollers 34, 36. <IMAGE>

Title: Lever presses
Inventor: WICKHAM DAVID JOHN
IPC: B30B15/00
Filed: 1988-05-10
Abstract: This invention provides improvements to lever presses of the type in which two platens are brought together for the purpose of cutting, kiss cutting or punching. The movable platen 9 constrained by at least one guide 10 to move substantially vertically, is pivotally linked via tension members 1 to levers 2 pivoted to the press frame at 3. Each lever carries a pulley concentric with its pivot 3 and the pulleys are reversibly interconnected by a synchronising link eg. wire 6. An actuator eg. a double acting cylinder 7 is connected to the levers such that rotation of one is balanced by opposite rotation of the other to transmit substantially equal movement to the platen via the tension members. Stops 13 limit the platen stroke. For high impact action, cylinders 11 raise the platen to render the levers 2 horizontal and the actuator 7 is charged in the cutting sense. The cylinders 11 are then reversed. If the actuator 7 is single-acting, the cylinders 11 return the platen 9. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2229495-A (GB)
Title: Fuel injector
Inventor: GASKELL DAVID JOHN
IPC: F02M61/16
Filed: 1989-03-22
Abstract: The injector has a flow control annulus constituted by the space between an annular projection 22 on either the valve 12 or the seating 16 and the immediately confronting surface on the seating or the valve. The valve in initially closing to its seated position deforms this projection by predetermined amount. When the valve next lifts, for a given amount of lift the control annulus has a predetermined cross sectional area. Any lacquer which has become deposited in this area is subjected to compression or displacement by closure of the needle valve, and hence the control annulus cross sectional area is maintained at a substantially constant value even if lacquer has been deposited during the valve-open part of the cycle. The projection may be formed by a copper or silver insert (42, Fig. 5). <IMAGE>

Filed: 1989-11-03
Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, calibrating a multiaxis continuous form measuring probe capable of displacement in at least two dimensions is disclosed together with guide means for guiding the stylus. During calibration, a series of probe data is gathered from probe/sensor output signals at given positions of the probe. A corresponding series of positional data for the given positions is gathered independently of the probe (e.g. based on radius of rotation R, and angular displacement dO). A correlation is made between the probe data and the positional data so as to obtain calibration parameters for correction of measurement signals. These calibration parameters are stored with a measurement expression (which are exemplified) for use in later measurement operations in which the probe output signals are processed to produce corrected measurement signals. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2248680-A (GB)
Title: Gas fire
Inventor: GIBSON ANDREW DAVID
IPC: F24C3/10
Filed: 1990-10-10
Abstract: In a gas fire, the radiant heat output from imitation coal pieces 2 caused to radiate by flames from a burner 1 is supplemented by convective air drawn into the base of the fire and passing through duct 6 before emerging through outlets 7, the duct being transversed by flue tubes 8, 9, 10, 11 to which combustion gases from the burner pass in the direction of the arrows B. A problem with such a fire is if the flue outlet 12 become blocked because the flow of gases reverses direction relative to the arrows B and the burner then combusts within unsafe limits if the doors 4, 5 are closed. To overcome this some of the flue tubes 8, 10 are provided with openings 10a, partially shielded by shield 22, to allow escape of recirculating combustion products into the convection duct, thereby allowing the burner to continue operation in safe limits in the event of flue blockage. <IMAGE>
