Title: Print inspecting method
Inventor: HORIGUCHI SATORU
IPC: G01N21/956
Filed: 1984-10-26
Abstract: Variations in transverse position are taken into account in a method of inspecting prints while running in which a memory 14 is provided for image data derived from a reference print, and image data derived from a print under inspection is compared with the reference data read out of the memory for every picture element or group of picture elements, to determine whether the print is acceptable.

Title: Treatment of gasoline containing aqueous oxygenate
Inventor: NAYLOR TIMOTHY DE VILLIERS
IPC: B01D69/12
Filed: 1985-12-19
Abstract: A membrane separation plant is transported to each of a plurality of storage tanks in turn to remove sufficient water to eliminate a separate water phase from gasoline which contains oxygenates. This separation is effected by removal of the water phase from the gasoline and using the membrane to separate a water-rich phase from a water-poor phase which is then returned to the gasoline. The gasoline may lose oxgenate into a separate water phase if water accumulates in gasoline storage tanks.

Patent GB-867656-A (GB)
Abstract: 867,656. Voice training equipment. TOMATIS, A. A. A. Nov. 21, 1958 [Nov. 23, 1957], No. 37576/58. Class 40 (4). Apparatus for use in voice training consists of a microphone 1 linked to headphones 9 by a number of amplifying valves 2, 3, 6, 7 on output transformer 8 and filters 4 and 5 connected in parallel. Low-pass filter 4 accepts frequencies in the range 100-500 c/s and highpass filter 5 accepts frequencies above 2,000 c/s. Normally, the low-pass filter is enabled and the high-pass filter is disabled. In response to speed, control amplifiers 10, 11 and a delay circuit 12-13 disable the low-pass filter 4 over lead 14 and enable the high-pass filter 5 over lead 15, the delay being sufficient for filter 4 to pass some low frequencies before the changeover. The filters return to normal quickly at the end of a speech signal. The predominant frequency of the speech is indicated by a frequency meter 16.

Patent GB-2207311-A (GB)
Title: Phase-locked loop systems
Inventor: LEVENTIS CHRIS
IPC: H03L7/099
Filed: 1987-07-24
Abstract: A phase-locked loop system comprises a reference-frequency pulse source (22) and a controllable pulse generator (20) switchable between two frequencies one higher and one lower than the frequency of the reference pulse source (22). The controllable generator (20) includes a capacitor (26) and a switch (28) for switching the capacitor (26), into and out of circuit to effect the change in frequencies. A comparator (24) compares the output of the controllable generator with the output of the reference source (22) and switches the switch (28) in a sense to maintain the phase relationship between the two outputs substantially constant. Switching is effected at substantially the same instant during each cycle of the controllable pulse source (22) to effect a smooth transition from one frequency to the other. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting and signalling changes in speed of a vehicle
Inventor: STEGGALL ANTHONY JOHN
IPC: B60Q1/44
Filed: 1987-08-20
Abstract: When the rate of change of the forward speed of a moving vehicle exceeds a predetermined value, a device 30 is actuated for directing a signal rearwardly of the vehicle. A red light may be used to indicate deceleration, a yellow light to indicate a steady speed and a green light to indicate acceleration, but typically only a deceleration indication is provided. The signal intensity may vary, eg by illuminating more lights as the deceleration increases. Acceleration or deceleration level may be detected by monitoring the passage of air past the vehicle, or by using a pendulum, rolling ball, tilt indicator or similar accelerometer. Preferably, however, rotation of the vehicle drive shaft (4), (Fig. 2) is sensed eg by a cam and switch, magnetically using a reed switch or Hull effect sensor, or optically using an apertured disc 7 rotatating between a light source 3 and detector 2 coupled to counter/timer and microprocessor circuitry 20. <IMAGE>
