Patent CA-2100154-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALBEAN DAVID L
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 1993-07-08
Abstract: An expander circuit for decoding audio signals which were encoded in accordance with the BTSC multichannel sound system standard including DBX companding is presented. A wideband expander circuit is utilized and a DBX expander can be accommodated. The wideband expander circuit is provided with a signal path having an input LPF (low pass filter), a stereo difference signal (L-R) demodulator, a second LPF, and a voltage controlled amplifier (VCA), the gain of which is controlled by a control signal derived from the demodulated difference signal which has been operated on by a bandpass filter (BPF) and an integrating peak detector. The output of the VCA is provided to a deemphasis network before being fed to a decoder matrix for combining with the sum stereo signal (L+R) for reconstructing the original L and R signals. When a DBX expander is connected, the DBX expander is substituted in place of the deemphasis network, the VCA control signal, which provides the wideband expansion, is overridden by a predetermined voltage, the BPF are is disabled, and the input is switched to bypass the input LPF. According to aspects of the present invention, the disablement of the BPF actuates the switching of the input to bypass the input LPF.

Title: Elasticized fabric with continuous filaments and method of forming
Inventor: SABEE REINHARDT N
IPC: D04H3/02
Filed: 1991-09-24
Abstract: A process for producing an elasticized fabric, including forming an array of elastomeric filaments (12) and generally an array of non-elastic filaments (16). The two arrays are combined with one or more layers of simultaneously formed webs of melt blown fibers (32, 44), and optionally prefabricated webs (36, 48).

Title: Thermochromic drawing device
Inventor: BROWN WILLIAM E
IPC: B41M5/28
Filed: 1994-05-05
Abstract: A thermochromic drawing device is disclosed which can be marked and erased by selectively changing the temperature of its drawing surface. The drawing surface of the drawing device consists of a flexible substrate printed with thermochromic inks having at least two color states. The flexible substrate has low thermal mass thereby enabling it to readily assimilate temperatures induced by a user and, consequently, facilitating the transition of the thermochromic inks from one color state to another. The drawing surface is further provided with an insulating layer which isolates the flexible substrate from unwanted heat sinks and heat sources thereby preventing unwanted color transitions of the thermochromic inks. Thus, a user can selectively change the color state of portions of the drawing surface to create distinctive markings.

Title: Drag embedment marine anchor
Inventor: BRUCE PETER
IPC: B63B21/42
Filed: 1992-11-27
Abstract: A marine anchor (1) comprising a fluke (8) and a shank (3) attached to the fluke (8) is intended for drag embedment in a mooring bed (63) by pulling the anchor (1) substantially horizontally via the shank (3). Further, it is a particular feature of the anchor that two modes of operation are possible by means of the line (56) extending between the anchor cable attachement point (4A, 4B) an the shank and the fluke centroid (7) being variable to provide a first line (5) present for drag embedment of the anchor (1), and a second line (6) utilised when the anchor is embedded, wherein the pulling force on the anchor via the shank (3) can now be essentially upwards thereby providing an increased holding force due to the increased fluke area presented in the direction of the upwards force. The change in direction from the first line (5) to the second line (6) can be achieved by having the shank (3) pivotal (Fig. 9) and by providing pivot control means (26, 29) permitting selective pivoting of the shank (3).      Alternatively two separate cable attachment points (4A, 4B) can be present in the shank (3) with, as a first example (Fig.      I)two separate cables attached to said points (4A, 4B) whereby the two modes of anchor operation are achieved by transferring operation from a first cable to the second, or as a second example (Fig. 6) moving the single anchor cable (64) via a guide (11) from the first attachment point (4A) to the second (4B).
