Publication number: 20060062504Abstract: A device and method for uniformly providing lubricant to rotating machine parts is provided. The device comprises an axially mounted rotating circumferential lubricant reservoir with a weir comprising one side of the lubricant reservoir. The reservoir and weir are disposed at uniform radius and circumferentially about an axis of rotation causing lubricant added to the reservoir to flow uniformly over the weir about the circumference of the weir when the device is in high speed rotational motion. Because of the uniform flow of lubricant over the top of the weir around the circumference of the weir, lubricant can be directed to machine parts requiring lubrication in a uniform manner around the circumference of the moving device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2004Publication date: March 23, 2006Inventors: Stephen Wilton, Ning Fang, Ramon Themudo, David Whitford, Ray Kinnaird, Kenneth Fisher

Publication number: 20040031969Abstract: A semiconductor component is suitable for limiting transient voltages on the supply lines of a system having at least three supply lines, one of the supply lines being a current sink. The semiconductor comprises: at least three input means for connection to respective ones of the supply lines; and for each input means, a respective overvoltage-triggered semiconductor protection unit. Each protection unit comprises a multi-junction diode which has a threshold voltage at which it changes from a high-impedance state to a low-impedance state and a respective further diode connected in shunt with it and in the opposite sense to it. Each multi-junction diode is connected in the same sense between a respective input means and a common terminal; and each protection unit is adapted to use a lateral turn on current. A shielding diffusion is provided between adjacent protection units for blocking lateral current flow between the adjacent protection units.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2003Publication date: February 19, 2004Applicant: Bourns LimtitedInventors: Jeremy Paul Smith, Stephen Wilton Byatt
