Non-home-run zoning system
en
Zone indication is provided for a monitoring and control system by providing the system's sensors 12 and control unit 10 with counters 30, 32 which are simultaneously incremented with clock pulses from control unit 10. In one embodiment, each sensor output is enabled only during the occurrence of a corresponding count (jumper) from its counter. When the sensors are used to sense alarm conditions, the sensor sending an alarm signal is identified when an alarm condition signal exists simultaneously with a particular count from the counter at the control unit 10, with the particular count indicating which sensor is sending the alarm signal. Remote data can be transmitted between counter clock pulses. Should transmission of complex data be required, the counter clock pulses are inhibited and complex data is then read out, from the sensor actuated when the counter clock pulses are inhibited, at a rate governed by a different type of pulsed signal transmitted to the sensor. Zone indication signals can be made compatible with sensor control signals so as to establish compatibility with previously installed in-place systems. <IMAGE>

Improvements in or relating to elapsed time-indicating apparatus
en
An elapsed time-indicating apparatus, particularly for use with sampling devices, includes a time-measuring device (Figure 1) and an interrogator (Figure 2) which may be coupled by means of a lead and jack plugs. The time-measuring device includes a crystal oscillator (IC1), a binary divider (IC2) and a counter (IC3). The input and carry terminal of the counter are connectable to the interrogator. The interrogator includes an oscillator (OSC), a control circuit, a divider ( DIVIDED 15) and a liquid crystal display. The oscillator (IC1) is switched on during the period to be measured. When the period is to be displayed, the interrogator is connected and the output of the oscillator (OSC) is supplied to the counter (IC3). The number of pulses applied is equal to the total capacity of the counter (IC3) and the carry pulse when produced is applied to the control circuit in the interrogator to start the counters in the display. Thus the time displayed is equal to the elapsed time measured. <IMAGE>

Transmission control system in a vehicle
en
An automatic transmission comprises a mechanical transmission 11, gear synchronizers 22 and 23, and a clutch 12 which have been automated by the addition of electro- mechanical and pneumatic operators 15, 18, and 21 and an electronic control system 24. The control system receives operator commands regarding the mode of operation, which can be automatic or manual, and monitors throttle position, engine speed, transmission countershaft speed (representing transmission input speed) and transmission output shaft speed representing vehicle speed). By utilising this information, the control system 24 selects the optimum gear ratio, effects synchronization of the selected transmission gear elements, controls clutch engagements and shuts off the fuel supply in accordance with a logic program. In selecting the optimum gear ratio, the control system changes the engine speed at which a shift is commanded in accordance with vehicle acceleration and deceleration (derived from the output shaft speed), and also in accordance with the differential of a signal representing throttle position, and in accordance with the direction of the previous shift. <IMAGE>

Fluid control valve
en
This invention relates to fluid control valves. It has particular application to such valves in which the internal parts of the valve may be removed for maintenance whilst the valve is "under pressure", that is to say fluid is being supplied to and from the valve whilst the maintenance of the valve is carried out. An improved valve of this type is disclosed in our co-pending U.K. application No. 8123569. One of the situations in which it is particularly valuable to be able to maintain a valve whilst under pressure is when the valve is being used as a stop-cock valve such as in the ordinary domestic water supply. As shown in Fig. 18 the valve 231 has a base plate 233 screwed on to its stem with a chamber 232, with a sealed lid 239, attached to the base plate. Threaded flange 236 is provided for attachment of a standpipe. The crutch handle 2 is removable with a dust cap 4 to expose the internal parts of the valve. Special tools are provided to enable the valve to be maintained whilst under pressure. <IMAGE>

Sustained release lithium-containing tablets and method for their manufacture
en
The release pattern of sustained release lithium carbonate tablets is improved by using a particular form of lithium carbonate material. This should have acicular crystals with a substantially monomodal particle size distribution in which the curve showing volume percentages of particles of different sizes shows a peak at a particle diameter of between 10 and 25 mu m. Moreover not more than 20% by volume of the material should have a particular diameter above 30 mu m. A preferred sustained release agent is a mixture of glyceryl mono-di- and tri-esters of straight chain saturated fatty acids. The tablets may be made by a moist granulation technique, followed by screening to ensure a granulate of appropriate grain sizes, after which the granulate is compacted into tablets.

A fusible element comprises a continuous strip 1 of copper, or a composite strip comprising end sections of copper and a bridging section of silver; at least a portion of the copper strip or at least one copper end section being adapted for fusion upon passage of a short circuit current. A coating or body 3 of solder overlies an intermediate portion 2 of the copper strip or the silver bridging section and will alloy eutectically with copper or silver upon fusion arising from passage of a sustained overload. At least portions of the copper strip 1 or copper end sections immediately adjacent the intermediate portion 2 or bridging section have an overlying layer of e.g. nickel which, on occurrence of a sustained overload, will prohibit or resist dispersion of the solder 3 from the intermediate portion 2 or bridging section and over the copper strip 1 or end sections. The fusible element is reliable and the nickel layer prevents oxidation and thus deterioration of the fusible element. <IMAGE>

Two reaction members 1 and 2 are movable towards and away from each other by means of inclined cams 7 and rollers 10 which provide a powerful wedge action when a moveable member 8 is moved transversely with respect to the two reaction members. If more than one set of reaction members is provided, the associated moveable members are linked together to secure uniform movement. The mechanism is particularly suitable for use with an electrical interface arrangement in which a large matrix or array of contact studs are to be brought into contact with a similar array of spring loaded contact heads. <IMAGE>

A water heater having a heat exchanger (1) is connected to supply hot water to a central heating system and, for domestic purposes, via a calorifier (7). The flow of heating water to the calorifier is controlled by a diverter valve (9) actuated by a demand for hot water. The diverter valve (9) operates to perm it flow of heating water to the calorifier (7) and to interrupt the flow of hot water to the central heating system on demand for hot water. Gas flow to the gas burner (2) of the heater is regulated by a modulating gas flow valve (6), under the control of a thermally responsive element (16) in the inlet to the heat exchanger, to maintain the water temperature constant. The element (16) is connectible into one or other of two temperature control circuits in dependence upon the state of the diverter valve (9). <IMAGE>

A data processing system including an infra-red coupled remote data entry device
en
A battery powered keyboard entry device (1) includes an infra- red generator for coupling the device to a processor (2) which includes an infrared receiver. Each input binary signal (A) is transmitted as a few (e.g. two or three) short infra-red pulses (D) indicating the leading edge of the binary signal. In the receiver, the receiving groups of pulses, after detection and amplification, are stretched by a single-shot circuit (22) to produce binary signals of substantially the same length as the original binary signals. As each transmission is substantially shorter than each binary signal, power consumption in the keyboard entry device is substantially reduced as compared with a system in which the infra-red pulses for each input signal extend over the input signal length. <IMAGE>

Self-circulating solar water heater

In a water heating system using solar energy heat collecting surfaces the water pump is powered by solar energy which heats and thereby raises the pressure of a gas in a chamber 3. This pumps water through T-pieces 5 and non-return valve 8 into reservoir 7. The temperature of this gas is lowered by intermittent discharge of water over the surface of the chamber (e.g. via syphing). This alternating heating and cooling is used to give a water flow over surfaces exposed to solar radiation. <IMAGE>

In order to improve the accuracy of borehole survey systems utilizing probes (18) with inertial components including inclinometers (32, 34, 36), two ring laser gyro units (42, 44) are included to provide rotation information to the system. When the probe (18) is moving in a borehole (12), inclinometer information is used to produce a synthetic rotation signal to take the place of a third gyro and the earth's rotation is used for a similar purpose in combination with signals from the two ring laser gyros (42, 44) when the probe (18) is stopped. Wire line velocity is used in combination with the inclinometer and gyro information to provide signals representing the probe velocity and position. Coordinate transformations are provided in the probe to transform the inertial signals and wire line velocity signals into earth reference coordinate system. Kalman filtering incorporates noninertial velocity data to reduce the effect of errors inherent in the generation of various input signals to the system.

Each gamma ray generates two other gamma rays, which may both be wholly absorbed in one or the other scintillator (5,6) or one absorbed in one scintillator and one in the other. By analysing these events, the spectrum of gamma rays may be obtained, giving the composition of the material.

A coupling (1), such as a shackle, clevis or the like, comprises a base member with at least two sides (2,3) spaced apart. They each comprise an insertion opening (7,8) for a suspension bolt (10). The bolt (10) is prevented from falling out of the insertion openings (7,8) by locking members (14,15) disposed transversely to the bolt axis. One locking member (15) projects only partly into one of the two insertion openings (7,8) which have the same diameter. Thus the inside width (16) of the suspension opening (8) is reduced. It is thereby ensured that only the correct size of suspension bolt (10) will be inserted in the coupling (1), the ultimate strength of which bolt (10) is coordinated with the ultimate strength of the chain (11) to be suspended, since a smaller bolt will fall out of the insertion openings. On account of their identical diameter, the two insertion openings (7,8) may be drilled in a simple manner in a single operation, due to which the desired, economical and simple manufacture is achieved for the coupling (1) as a mass-produced product. <IMAGE>

Labels for canisters
en
A generally cylindrical canister 10 has a side wall 12 and top 14 and bottom 16 walls sealed thereto. The seals between the side wall 12 and the top and bottom walls 14, 16 respectively form upstanding lips 18 and 20 respectively. About the side wall 12 is a layer 22 of monoaxially orientated rigid polyvinyl chloride that has been heat shrunk to fit the canister closely. The layer of polyvinyl chloride used was sized slightly longer then the canister itself so that on heat shrinking the top and bottom edges of the polyvinyl chloride layer turned over the lips 18 and 20 at 24 and 26 respectively. The inner surface of the layer may be provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating. <IMAGE>

Optical waveguide connecting component having tapered core
en
An optical connecting component 1 comprises an optical waveguide having a tapered optical field spot size 2 in use, the field spot size being determined by the waveguide's dopant diffusion profile. The optical connecting component 1 may comprise a length of optical fibre of conventional construction which has been subjected to a localised non-uniform heating step to produce a dopant profile which varies along the length of the fibre. Preferably, the optical fibre comprises silica with fluorine doping. The connecting components 1 may be used with a single ferrule 18 having a partial cut 19 in which is mounted an element 16 e.g. an optical filter. <IMAGE>

Antibiotic testing
en
High voltages are applied to specimens from a patient to induce the micro-organisms therein to emit a Corona discharge. The intensity of the discharge is altered only when an antibiotic which combats the micro-organism is present. Unsuitable antibiotics have no effect.
