Patent GB-2166929-A (GB)
Title: Variable frame length t.d.m. transmission system
Inventor: WEST BARRY GORDEN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1984-11-07
Abstract: A communication system comprises a main station 1 which defines a time frame containing a variable number of time slots. Each of a plurality of substations 2, 3, 4 etc., includes selection means for selecting a time slot for transmission of information to the main station. Each substation has an identity number and it divides this identity number by the number of time slots currently set by the main station. The remainder left after this division process is used to select the time slot in which the substation will transmit its information to the main station. If two substations transmit in the same time slot the mutilated time slot is recognised by the main station at 15 and 16 and the number of time slots defined at 17 for the next frame is changed so as to prevent repetition of such mutilation. <IMAGE>

Title: Tape-mounted electronic components assembly
Inventor: INANO MITSUMASA
IPC: B65D73/02
Filed: 1984-12-18
Abstract: A tape carrier assembly comprising a plurality of the electronic components 12 mounted on a support tape 22 at regular intervals by fixing the lead terminals 13 to the tape is characterised in that the support tape 22 is formed from a thermoplastic synthetic resin material containing inorganic fillers. Such a tape is superior in dimensional accuracy, tensile strength and heat-resistance and facilitates the high-speed taping feeding and automatic insertion of the electronic components into a circuit substrate. When the support tape 22 is used together with an adhesive tape, the tape 22 may be subjected to surface treatments to improve adhesion of the adhesive tape. In other embodiments (Figs. 4-6), the component leads are heated and pressed into the tape 22 to bond them thereto or are adhered to the tape by adhesive. <IMAGE>

Title: Chain sling for winding around long goods
Inventor: MULLER ANTON
IPC: B66C1/12
Filed: 1985-01-07
Abstract: The chain sling serves for winding around long goods (8) and at one end of the chain strand (1) comprises a hook (2) for forming a sling loop (1a). At the other end the chain strand (1) is provided with a suspension member (5, 6) by which the tensile stress is exerted on the chain sling. Seated on the chain strand (1) between the hook (2) and the suspension member (5, 6) is a stop (3), which comprises a stop face for the hook (2) acting in the direction opposed to that of the tensile stress. When the bundled goods (8) are deposited and the chain sling is no longer under tensile stress, the hook (2) cannot move along the chain strand (1), since it comes to bear against the stop face (31). Therefore, the bundled goods (5) cannot fall apart. <IMAGE>

Title: Communication indicator
Inventor: KENNON JERRY MEADOR
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 1985-05-14
Abstract: A light emitting diode D1 is configured, along with a microprocessor (U4) output port (DATA), to signal the existence of an outgoing message from the microprocessor.
