Title: Package for a solid substance particularly a cosmetic
Inventor: GUERET JEAN-LOUIS
IPC: A45D40/00
Filed: 1985-05-02
Abstract: A package for a product such as a cosmetic comprises a cap (4) defining an internal a cavity (5) which forms a mould in which the product is cast when hot, and a pedestal (3) which is intended to carry the solidified block (2) of product and which incorporates an internal attachment device (7) to be embedded in the block (2).

Title: Gas turbine stator vane assembly
Inventor: CHERRY DAVID GLENN
IPC: F01D9/02
Filed: 1985-06-21
Abstract: A gas turbine's stator nozzle is made up of segments comprising one or more vanes 26 and integral inner and outer circumferential platform segments 36, 38 extending from the suction side 30 of the foil(s). By so locating the joint line between the adjacent segments on the high pressure side of the foils, leakage of coolant air through the joints from radially outward space 46 is reduced. Moreover any such leakage tends to flow across the segments as shown by arrows 52, thereby cooling these surfaces. <IMAGE>

Title: Cutter
Inventor: HEMINGWAY JAMES KENNETH
IPC: E21B25/00
Filed: 1985-11-12
Abstract: A cutter for cutting holes in turf, e.g. for golf greens, has a shaft 4 of non-round cross-section, handle 5,6 and two assemblies 2,3 slidably guided on shaft 4, for vertical movement. Each assembly has an elongate guide boss 10 (or 16) connected by an inclined strut 11 (or 17) to a plate 12 (or 18) at the top 13 (19) of a semicylindrical half-shell 14 (20) sharpened at its lower edge 15 (21). Hammers or foot pressure at 12 and 18 separately urges the mutually opposed half-shells 14,20 vertically into the ground, jointly to cut a cylindrical plug of turf for withdrawal. The withdrawn turf plug can then be clearly ejected by end plate 7 as the half-shells are pulled upwards relative to the shaft 4, ready for use to refill an earlier cut hole if desired. <IMAGE>

Title: Bruising and conditioning arrangement for a rotary mower
Inventor: VOGELENZANG ALEXANDER JAN
IPC: A01D34/73
Filed: 1986-01-24
Abstract: A mowing rotor 2 is formed with ends 5 having sharpened blade edges 6. A flat strip 7 has non-sharpened leading edges defining bruising elements 8 which are positioned by an amount B ahead of the blades 6 (in the direction of rotation) and above the blades 6 by a distance A. When the rotor 2 with the attached flat strip 7 is rotated the bruising elements 8 first strike the stems of the crop to be cut at a higher level before the crop is cut by the blades 6. Striking of the stems by the non-sharpened bruising elements creates a preliminary bruising of the tougher stems which serves to accelerate the drying process or the decomposition of the crop. <IMAGE>

Title: Pile yarn selection in carpet looms
Inventor: COATES HERBERT
IPC: D03D39/08
Filed: 1986-04-26
Abstract: A carpet loom has a series of horizontally extending pile yarn carriers (21) in which the ends of a series of yarns (4) are carried in longitudinally spaced positions and which are displaceable in their longitudinal direction to selected positions so that each can present a selected one of the yarns for drawing off by a gripper. Each carrier (21) or a driven member (26) for displacing the carrier has a series of engagement projections (22) spaced corresponding to the spacing between the yarns (4). The projections are selectively engageable by a solenoid-operated engagement member (28), so as to displace the carrier to position a selected yarn in register with the associated gripper. The solenoids are controlled by electronic programming means in accordance with sensors 23. In a second embodiment an engagement projection is pivotally mounted in the carrier and is pivoted into engagement with a selected protrusion on the displacing member. In a third embodiment the carrier is driven through a resilient coupling and is arrested at a selected position by a solenoid-actuated tooth engaging a selected one of a plurality of teeth on the carrier. <IMAGE>

Title: Rotational phase detection in video tape recorders
Inventor: ITO KENJI
IPC: G11B15/14
Filed: 1987-03-24
Abstract: The angular displacement between each of the advance position indicators 13a, 13b and their respectively associated heads 11a, 11b, is computed in a calibrating process by recording the number of clock pulses CP1 counted by a counter 30 between the detection of an advance position indicator and a reference signal V carried on a test tape. The displacement count Na of indicator 13a is stored at 31a and count Nb of indicator 13b in 31b. A so-called pattern detector circuit 34 stores a bindary count Np corresponding to the common displacement of each head from the reference signal VTR in operation of the VTR a countdown counter 33 is loaded alternately with the stored counts Na, Nb which, by being counted down to the count Np, measure out the respective delays between each advance position indicator and its respective head so as to generate a head-switching waveform H-SW.

Title: Portable recorder with voice recognition function
Inventor: HASHIMOTO KAZUO
IPC: G10L15/00
Filed: 1987-09-02
Abstract: A recorder is provided with a voice recognition function for operation as a memorandum storage for messages with search function for message identifiers. Each message stored on a recording medium includes a specific identifying word recorded at a predetermined portion thereof. The identifier may be a name, a number, or other symbol. A RAM stores codes for the identifiers and start end stop location codes for the messages associated therewith. The voice recognition section of the recorder recognizes an operator's utterance of a message identifier and, upon determining that a code corresponding to the identifier is stored in RAM, transports the recording medium to the proper location for playback of the specific message, as represented by the stored code. The specific message is played until reaching the stored stop location. When several messages are stored with a common identifier, a secondary identifier, such as a number or a first name may be stored.

Title: A circuit for controlling a drive motor in a tape recorder
Inventor: SU HYUN-JOON
IPC: G11B15/18
Filed: 1989-05-18
Abstract: A tape-tension control circuit prevents a reel motor for use in a video or audio recording/reproducing apparatus from receiving an over-voltage from a phase-locked-loop (PLL), in an initial search operation. A first muitiplexor 10 outputs selectively a frequency signal (FGT, FGS) according to the rotation of a take-up reel or a supply reel of the tape recorder. Control means 20 synthesizes the output of the first multiplexor 10 with a bias voltage Vbias which is the minimum voltage that will drive the reel motor. A comparator 40 compares the synthesized output ST of the control means 20 with a specified reference voltage Vref, thereby controlling operation of a second muitiplexor 50 so that initially, a motor driver 60 receives the synthesized output ST from the control means 20, and when the respective reel of the tape is rotating at a predetermined speed, the motor driver 60 receives the phase-locked-loop output of the first multiplexor 10. <IMAGE>

Title: Removal of hydrogen sulfide from fluid streams.
Inventor: BEDELL STEPHEN
IPC: C01B17/05
Filed: 1989-08-29
Abstract: Removal of substantially all the H2S contained in a sour gas or a geothermal stream is accomplished with an aqueous solution containing ferric chelate and a water soluble anionic polymer containing sulfonic acid groups, carbocyl groups or mixtures thereof as a negative catalyst. The ferric chelate is reduced to ferrous chelate during this process. The resulting ferrous chelate solution is separated from the entrained solids and regenerated back to ferric chelate by an oxygen containing gas stream. The polymeric catalysts of the invention inhibit the oxidation and loss of chelant at 0.005 to 0.4 parts per part of iron concentrations.
