Abstract: The invention relates to a method to process an HD-MAC-signal of 625 lines arriving in sample form so that the result is an HDTV picture of 1250 lines. The invention is based on a known SSPC (Sub-Sampling Pattern Converter) and SRC (Scanning Rate Converter). According to the invention the digital video signal is arranged to have the signal format 1250/1:1/50 Hz/Quincunx in the interface between the BRD and the SRC, i.e. 1250 lines, 50 Hz field rate, progressive scanning, samples in a quincunx pattern, in which half of the picture's pixels are missing. In the scanning rate converter SRC the missing pixels are interpolated using the same interpolator for the sampling patterns obtained from each SSPC signal processing branch, this resulting in the complete orthogonal HDTV picture.

Abstract: A system of managing memory used by communications tasks of a communications network operating with a multi-layered communications protocol. Specially formatted buffers are used to contain data to be passed down the protocol stack of a source node, across a communications link, and up the protocol stack of a destination node. Before entering the source stack, message data is presegmented so that each buffer contains only so much message data as may be transmitted as a single data unit from source to destination, even after all layers of the source stack have added layer headers to that portion. Then, when the buffers are being passed within the source stack, any layer may segment the message data by simply unlinking buffers and adding its layer header to each segment. Inter-layer data passing is by means of exclusive access to buffers by one layer at a time. At the source stack, any layer that must send multiple copies of the message data may checkpoint the buffers and thereby regain the same buffers. At the destination stack, the buffers may be reassembled by relinking them.

Abstract: A description is given of an articulated coupling, particularly for rail vehicles, for the transmission of the motor power from a driving hollow shaft mounted on the vehicle frame or the bogie frame to a driving axle with limited mobility surrounded by the said hollow shaft. The essential components of this coupling are a first flange (1), rigidly connected to the hollow shaft, a second flange (4), rigidly connected to the driving axle (3), and two pairs of links (9, 10 and 11, 12 respectively) and an intermediate member (15) which surrounds the driving axle in a floating manner and on which the links are supported. To achieve optimum symmetry about the centre, the two flanges (1, 4) are arranged in alignment, all the links (9, 10 and 11, 12) are of equal length and the links are arranged in such a way relative to one another that the projections of the pivot points form the corners of a square in a plane transverse to the driving axle (3). The pivoted support of the two opposite links (10, 12) on the intermediate member is in each case provided in their centre. These two links (10, 12) are bent at an obtuse angle towards the driving axle (3) such that the pivot points of the intermediate member (15) lie on a circle which runs through the corners of the abovementioned square. Rubber metal joints known per se are employed at all the pivot joints, giving the joints a limited elasticity and thus enabling them to take up annular displacement too. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low NO x  burner (2) includes a primary air and fuel discharge assembly which, in turn, includes a burner plate (6) having a plurality of slots (32) from which fuel gas jets and combustion air are discharged. The slots are arranged such that the width of the recirculation zones between adjacent slots substantially varies between the central region of the burner plate and its perimeter. With this construction, the local ignition patterns vary such that local oscillations of flame front occur at different frequencies so that vibrations are greatly dampened and resonance problems in the furnace minimized or eliminated. In applications where high excess air is not desirable, such as boiler applications, the burner is modified by providing a secondary fuel and flue gas injection assembly (80) to form a two stage burner (2'). In the preferred embodiment, the secondary injection assembly includes a plurality of discrete fuel and flue gas injection tubes (82, 94) arranged around the primary air and fuel gas discharge assembly (50). The secondary fuel and flue gases are directed radially inward and downstream from the burner plate so that they mix with the combustion air entering through the burner plate slots (32) in a secondary combustion zone. The resulting delay in the combustion of the secondary fuel gas and the need for heating the flue gas lowers the overall combustion temperature, which in turn reduces the NO x  formation in the second or downstream combustion zone.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention, for the case of shafts supported in a plain bearing and lubricated by the flow medium, to recirculate the lubricating medium into the low-pressure-side main delivery stream with as a low a flow resistance as possible. This object is achieved by having recessed into or at the bearing body (7', 7'') at least one recirculating duct (return duct) (71a-71d), in such a way that the lubricating medium, as it escapes from the plain bearing on the side facing away from the delivery chamber, seen in an axial direction, can flow back by a minimal flow path. This makes it possible to keep the pressure downstream of the plain bearing at a minimum while nevertheless maintaining a lubricating medium return flow, which in turn reduces, particularly in the case of shafts run through to the outside, the demands made on their seals with respect to the pump's environment. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Liquid flow through a conduit in a branch of a hydronic system provided with a balancing valve and, in series therewith, a metering valve to obtain a desired rate of flow in the branch is regulated by positioning immediately adjacent an accelerated-flow zone in the metering valve in the conduit a pitot having an upstream side directed upstream against a direction of flow through the conduit and a downstream side directed downstream in the flow direction. The metering valve is settable in a plurality of predetermined positions each corresponding to a respective flow cross section through the conduit. A differential pressure meter is connected to both sides of the pitot, the one of the predetermined valve positions is selected that gives a near full-range reading on the meter, and the metering valve is set in this selected one position. The pressure-differential reading on the meter is monitored and the balancing valve is adjusted to regulate flow therethrough until the read pressure corresponds to a level itself corresponding to the desired rate of flow in the branch.
