Inventor: FORD GORDON STEPHEN
IPC: C02F1/28
Filed: 1992-11-13
Abstract: There is described a method of water purification wherein granular activated carbon is held in suspension in a body of water to be treated, untreated water being continuously added to the body and treated water being continuously drawn off, the spent carbon drawn off with the treated water being replenished either continuously or batchwise with regenerated activated carbon granules. Preferably, the process is carried out as a multistage process with the treated water from a first tank being fed to a second and possibly subsequent tanks, spent carbon being removed from the first tank and replenished by carbon taken from the next downstream tank, the final downstream tank being replenished with fresh carbon material.

Abstract: On décrit un système numériseur sans fil (10) qui comprend un numériseur (11) et un indicateur sans fil (12) qui coopèrent pour fournir au numériseur des informations relatives non seulement à la position de l'indicateur par rapport au numériseur, mais aussi par rapport à l'état de n'importe quel commutateur (37, 38) de l'indicateur. L'indicateur (12) génère et émet par rayonnement sur le numériseur (11) des premier et second signaux (23, 24) de différentes fréquences. Le premier et second signaux sont émis depuis l'indicateur (12) à une troisième fréquence (30) qui contient les informations sur l'état du commutateur. Par exemple, un des signaux peut être émis de façon relativement continue ou les deux signaux peuvent être émis en alternance à la troisième fréquence en fonction de l'état des commutateurs. Les premier et second signaux induisent dans le numériseur des signaux correspondants, qui sont traités pour produire des signaux respectifs à la troisième fréquence. Ces signaux sont ensuite traités pour obtenir l'état des commutateurs de l'indicateur. Les informationsur l'état des commutateurs peuvent aussi être codées en mode binaire comme une séquence particulière d'alternances des premier et second signaux.

Abstract: A baud rate generator has a first oscillator that generates a first clock signal, and a second oscillator that generates a second clock signal with higher frequency but lower frequency accuracy. The first oscillator employs an external resonator but the second does not. The baud rate generator uses the first clock signal to measure the frequency of the second clock signal, then determines a division ratio by which to divide the frequency of the second clock signal, then divides the second clock signal by this division ratio to generate a clock signal for use in serial communication.

Abstract: An AGC system for use in positive modulation schemes of video signals is provided. The AGC system utilizes an IF amplifier (12), a demodulator (14), a video amplifier (16), a gated amplifier (18) and a peak detector (20). The gated amplifier has a first, relatively fast, time constant associated therewith. The first gated amplifier, which is activated during the time interval that the black voltage appears on the video signal, is responsive to an initial reference voltage (V REFB ) and to the video signal for providing an output signal to control the gain of the IF amplifier. The peak detector has a second, relatively slow, time constant associated therewith. The peak detector is used to detect the peak white voltage level of the video signal to adjust the initial reference voltage to account for fluctuations and errors in the peak white voltage level.
