Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus is constituted by using (a) a liquid crystal panel (100) comprising a pair of substrates (101-102) each provided with an electrode and a liquid crystal disposed between the substrates in combination with (b) a supporting member (107) having a frame for supporting the liquid crystal panel. The liquid crystal panel is fixed in a floating state to the frame of the supporting member (107) by the medium of (c) an elastic member (115) so as to define an almost closed space (117) defined by the liquid crystal panel, the supporting member (107) and the elastic member (155). The almost closed space (117) functions to suppress a deleterious flexural deformation of the liquid crystal panel in response to external mechanical forces, such as dropping impact and vibration, and also provides a good heat efficiency when it is used in combination with a planar heater for heating the liquid crystal panel.

Abstract: An ammunition handling system is provided with a magazine (10) consisting of a plurality of modular, highly portable magazine packs (18) which are readily installed in a mechanized support frame (22). The magazine packs contain separate ammunition (20) conveyors commonly driven from the frame. Guides are positioned to effect direct transfers of ammunition rounds between conveyors of adjacent ammunition packs and thus to establish linear linkless ammunition round movement along a serpentine path leading to a magazine exit (13) and ultimately to a rapid-fire gun (12). Rearming the gun simply involves replacing empty magazine packs with magazine packs pre-loaded with live ammunition rounds.

Abstract: A superconducting thin film is formed on a substrate 9 and patterned as a SQUID ring 4. After an insulation layer 101 a second superconducting film forms an input coil 2 and a modulation coil 1 with lead electrodes 11. On a further insulation layer 102 a ground plate 3 and lead electrodes 21 for the coil 2 are formed from superconducting film. At one end of the squid ring 4 a protective layer is deposited before the layers 101 and 102; these layers are then removed and a barrier layer 103 formed directly on the squid ring 4. This is followed by the counter electrode 5 and the bridge 6 forming the Josephson junctions 71 and 72. 
     Because the SQUID ring 4 is the lowermost layer and the barrier layer 103 is formed directly over it a good quality of barrier layer is obtained. The bridge 6 is exposed at the top of the assembly so that the critical current can be adjusted by treatment of the bridge. 
     In an alternative arrangement the counter electrode 5 is formed as the lowermost layer and the SQIID ring 4 is formed as the uppermost layer.

Abstract: This invention relates to a video analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and to a method of digitising a video analog signal. The video ADC (2) comprises a clock for providing a clock signal (HZ) which clocks a horizontal line rate, dither generating means (10) for generating a dither pattern synchronised with the horizontal clock signal. A preferred dither pattern comprises a staircase sequence of voltage steps, the voltage level of each step being constant for at least one horizontal line. The video ADC further comprises combining means for combining the dither pattern with the analog video signal, digitising means (4, 6) for converting the combined dither pattern and video signal to a sequence of digital values and correcting means (12) coupled to the digitising means and the dither generating means for subtracting the dither pattern from the digitised sequence of values so as to generate a sequence of digital values which represent said analog video signal. By superimposing a dither pattern to the analog video signal at the horizontal line rate, the operating point of the ADC can be altered. As a result, step errors of the ADC do not occur at the same horizontal position on a line and are therefore less visible. 
     In a preferred arrangement, the dither pattern is superimposed on a plurality of reference voltage levels generated by bias means (8) and which are applied to the digitising means so that the dither pattern and the analog video signal are combined in the digitising means.
