Patent GB-2142702-A (GB)
Title: Lined pipe
Inventor: MEGURO KAZUO
IPC: B32B18/00
Filed: 1984-03-06
Abstract: A pipe has a lining (6) made up of spherical or at least roughly spherical ceramic particles embedded in a matrix layer made up of synthetic resin or of rubber. For the manufacture of such a pipe, a length of pipe stock (1) has rings (4) placed at its two ends so that at the ends the pipe cross section is decreased. Then ceramic particles (2) are run into the pipe stock while it is being turned about its axis. Once the particles have become evenly distributed over the inner face of the pipe, the synthetic resin material or rubber material in a liquid condition is run into the inside of the pipe stock, the amount being such that parts of the ceramic particles are proud of the inner face of the liquid material in the process of forming the matrix. The pipe stock is turned till the synthetic resin has cured or the rubber has vulcanized as the case may be. Then the rings are taken out. Alternatively it is possible for the synthetic resin or the rubber material to be placed in the stock first and then for ceramic particles to be run in so that they are moved outwards forcing their way into the matrix or a mixture of the ceramic particles and of the rubber material or the synthetic resin may be placed in the pipe stock. <IMAGE>

Title: Pipelined Digital Data Processor
Inventor: BODDIE JAMES RILEY
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1984-04-19
Abstract: A pipelined digital signal processor includes a common data and control bus (101) and a source of instructions and data words. An arithmetic section (110) processes one data word with another data word through selected processing subsections performing operations according to an expression, thereby producing a resultant data word. Control circuits (e.g. IR-L, M, N) receive a single normal instruction during each processor cycle for controlling all processing subsections (112, 115, 116) operations. During each processor cycle, each processing subsection (112) performs an operation relating to a different expression than the other processing subsections (115 or 116) are performing during that processor cycle. All of the operations controlled by the single normal instruction are executed during a single processor cycle. The common bus (101) is time-shared during every processor cycle for transferring the single normal instruction from the source to the control circuits, for transferring data words from the source to the arithmetic section and for transferring the resultant data word from the arithmetic section to the destination. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of assembling a trunnion joint for a wiper blade harness
Inventor: PETHERS PETER CECIL
IPC: B60S1/38
Filed: 1984-05-10
Abstract: The trunnion joint is between the flanges 14 of a metal yoke 4 of inverted in-section and a plastics yoke 2 which nests between the flanges and engages opposed holes 18 in them by means of lateral trunnions 16 on the plastics yoke. In the method the flanges of the metal yoke are brought to an initial condition 14a in which they diverge from one another downwards the plastics yoke 2 is introduced into the space between the flanges 14 in the longitudinal relationship the two yokes will have in the joint. The flanges are pressed inwards to locate the trunnions 16 in the holes 18 by application of opposed laterally- directed forces of a magnitude such that the flanges become closer together in an intermediate condition 14b than in a final condition, and then said opposed forces are removed. The plastics yoke 2 is of other than solid transverse cross-section in the neighbourhood of the trunnions 16, such as by providing single narrow slot 22. The inherent resiliency of the plastics yoke 2 permits the trunnions 16 to recover after said opposed forces have been removed. <IMAGE>
