Title: Strip casting
Inventor: FUKASE HISAHIKO
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 1991-04-03
Granted: 2000-10-10
Abstract: Method arid apparatus for casting metal strip in which molten metal is introduced between a pair of parallel casting rollers (16) via a tundish (18) and metal delivery nozzle (19).      Casting rollers (16) are cooled so that shells solidity on the moving roller surfaces and are brought together at the nip between them to produce a solidified strip product (20) at the roller outlet. The tundish (18), delivery nozzle (19) and a pair of side closure plates (56) to confine the pool of metal on the casting rollers are separately preheated to working temperature and then rapidly brought into an operative assembly and casting is started before detrimental uneven or localized cooling of the preheated components can develop. To this end the casting rollers are mounted on a carriage (13) movable between a first station (14) at which the preheated components are fitted and a second station (15) at which casting is carried out.

Abstract: Un synthétiseur à accumulateurs fractionnel-N déclenché ayant une erreur résiduelle réduite destiné à des émetteurs-récepteurs radio-numériques est divulgué. Le diviseur du dispositif diviseur de fréquence (103) du synthétiseur est modifié dans le temps par la somme des séquences numérique des sorties de report des 'accumulateurs, ce qui résulte en des accroissements de fréquence égales à une fraction de la fréquence de référence. Les accumulateurs (615, 617) sont déclenchés de façon qu'à l'arrivée de l'impulsion d'horloge, les données soient transférées dans chaque accumulateur successivement à chaque impulsion d'horloge, de sorte que le retard dans le système est égal à celui d'un seul accumulateur.  La sortie déclenchée de l'accumulateur du poids de second rang (619) est soustraite de la sortie déclenchée de l'accumulateur du poids le plus fort (621) et différenciée avant d'être appliquée au filtre à boucle (109).

Abstract: A wireless communication system containing at least one transmission apparatus and at least one communication terminal. The transmission apparatus transmits a wireless signal representing a bit sequence containing at least a predetermined number of bit errors, to the communication terminal. The communication terminal receives the wireless signal to regenerate the bit sequence. The communication terminal then examines the bit sequence represented by a received wireless signal to determine whether or not the number of bit errors contained in the bit sequence is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. When it is determined that at least the predetermined number of bit errors are contained in the bit sequence represented by a received wireless signal, the operation of the communication terminal is made inactive. Further, the transmission apparatus may transmit a wireless signal representing a bit sequence containing no pattern coinciding with a predetermined frame synchronization pattern, to the communication terminal. The communication terminal receives the wireless signal to regenerate the bit sequence. The communication terminal then examines the bit sequence represented by a received wireless signal to determine whether or not the bit sequence contains the predetermined frame synchronization pattern. When it is determined that the bit sequence does not contain the predetermined frame synchronization pattern, the operation of the communication terminal is made inactive.

Title: Video system with feedback controlled "white stretch" processing and brightness compensation
Inventor: LAGONI WILLIAM ADAMSON
IPC: H04N5/20
Filed: 1992-10-15
Granted: 1998-06-30
Abstract: A non-linear (e.g., "white stretch") processor and a brightness control processor are coupled in cascade between an input for receiving a video input signal to be processed and an output for providing a processed video output signal. A control signal for controlling the transfer characteristics of the non-linear processor is provided by an amplifier having a first input coupled to receive an average picture level (APL) indicating signal derived from the processed video output signal and having a second input coupled to receive a reference level signal supplied thereto. A brightness control signal is applied to a control input of the brightness control processor for controlling the brightness level of the processed video output signal. Circuit means are provided for deriving at least a portion of the reference level signal for the amplifier from the brightness control signal supplied to the brightness control processor thereby reducing a tendency for variations in the brightness control signal to alter the transfer characteristics of the non-linear processor.

Granted: 1997-01-14
Abstract: The  present  invention  relates  to  a  sized  paper containing a hydrophobic zeolite. Suitably, the sized paper is  fine  paper,  kraft  liner or paperboard. In paperboard intended for solid or liquid foodstuffs, tobacco or medici-nes, use  is also  made of  the capacity  of the zeolite to reduce, by adsorption, the  problem  of  transfer  from the package  to  its  content of substances causing undesirable taste or hazardous substances.  The present  invention also relates to  a method  for production  of the sized paper by forming  and  dewatering  a  suspension  of lignocellulose-containing fibres,  where the  dewatering is carried out in the presence of a hydrophobic  zeolite.  Due  to  the inert nature of the zeolite, it can be used in papermaking within a very broad pH range. The  present invention  also relates to the  use of  a hydrophobic zeolite for the production of sized paper as well  as  use  of  the  thus-sized  paper in packaging material.
