Title: Duplex communications
Inventor: GILL TREVOR MICHAEL
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 1985-07-18
Abstract: A system for providing duplex communications between two stations 2,4 is established by means of a voice encoder 12 which is capable of operating at distinct bit rates in dependence on whether or not there is an input voice signal to the voice encoder 12 and whether there is a received voice signal from the other station. The bit rate of the voice encoder 12 is controlled by a control unit 22 including a voice controlled switch. The control unit 22 outputs control data which is transmitted at a low bit rate to the other station. When only one party is speaking that party is allocated most of the channel bandwidth, until he is interrupted by the other party, in which case the channel bandwidth is equally divided between them until the first party stops talking when the other party is allocated most of the bandwidth available. <IMAGE>

Title: Optical fibre end face finish assessment
Inventor: MACGREGOR ANDREW DAMIEN
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 1985-09-26
Abstract: Light from l.e.d. 3 is split by beam splitter 8 into two sub-beams which are directed respectively to the fibre end face 2 to be assessed and to a high finish quality reference block 9. Reflected and/or scattered light is directed to detector 10. The amount of light is first detected with no fibre present, and then with the fibre present. A ratio, e.g. of the two amounts, gives an indication of the quality of the end face finish of the fibre. The beam splitter may be a polarizing beam splitter, a quarterwave plate 15 then being positioned in the incident and reflected beam to the reference block 9. <IMAGE>

Title: Pneumatic valve mechanism for removing sheets from a stack
Inventor: WATKISS CHRISTOPHER ROBIN
IPC: B65H3/08
Filed: 1987-06-10
Abstract: A pneumatic valve mechanism, especially for removing sheets of paper from a stack, comprises a first manifold (12) having suction mouthpieces (16) arranged jointly and simultaneously to contact a sheet to be grasped, a second manifold (14) connected to a source of suction (28) and a plurality of bellows (10) which are biased to their extended condition and connect the manifolds. Each bellows (10) contains a valve body (22) with a seal (24) which can contact a spigot (18) on the first manifold. The seals are effective when the bellows are fully retracted, following closure of the mouthpieces (16), to seal the first manifold (12) from the source of suction. The first manifold (12) is vented to atmosphere through apertures (17) in the retracted position of the bellows, to release the sheet, but without breaking the seals, whereby the bellows are maintained in the retracted position. It is only when the seals are broken by a positive actuation that the bellows (10), first manifold (12) and mouthpiece (16) are permitted again to move towards their extended position. <IMAGE>
