Title: Method for the common transmission of digital and analogue modulated radio broadcasting and/ or television broadcasting signals
Inventor: SIEGLE GERT
IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 1996-09-19
Granted: 1999-03-24
Abstract: A method is described that is used for common transmission of digital- and analog-modulated radio and/or television signals, in particular over a broad band cable system (30). The method includes transmitting at least one digital radio and/or television signal along with an analog television signal in one and the same channel, in which the frequency spectrum of the at least one digital radio and/or television signal is limited to a frequency range that is less than the width of the at least one channel. To lessen the influence of the at least one digital radio and/or television signal on the analog television signal, the at least one digital radio and/or television signal must fall below a predetermined signal level, and the peak level of the analog television signal must exceed a predetermined value, which is markedly higher than the predetermined signal level of the at least one digital radio and/or television signal. To prevent cross-modulation between analog- and digital-modulated radio and/or television signals, the amplitude of the frequency spectrum of the at least one digital radio and/or television signal must fall below a predetermined value, which is markedly lower than the amplitude of the video carrier of the analog television signal.

Abstract: A boot retainer (1) consists of a base (3) with a fixing (6) which holds in onto the snow-board (2). It also comprises a mechanism of adjusting its position, allowing the base to be rotated to any angle or moved in any direction parallel to the board's surface. The retainer has a plate (4) between its base and the board, fastened to the board by fixings (7-10) and made with a central threaded hub to receive the threaded shank of the retainer's fixing. The base of the retainer has a square aperture (47) with rounded corners which allows it to be adjusted relative to the hub and fixed in the required position. The plate and fixing are made from a metal such as steel, while a washer (5) between the fixing and the base can be made from a low friction metal such as bronze, a coated aluminium or a plastics such as PTFE, with or without reinforcement.

Abstract: The current sensor uses a circular ferro-magnetic core (1) with an air-gap (3), around the core is a winding (9) through which a primary current (lp) is passed. A Hall effect probe (3) is placed in the air-gap and a closed servo loop provides a measure of the voltage (VBF) representative of the primary current (lp). It has at the terminals of the Hall probe (3) and connected to the servo loop (5,9), an amplifier (4) which produces a voltage (VBO) which represents the magnetic induction in the airgap. In addition it also uses an adder (11) in which are summed the voltages (VBO, VBF) to produce an output voltage (Vs) proportional to the current (lp) in the primary winding.

Abstract: Process for hollowing out by dissolution a cavity (1a) in a terrain (1) containing a majority of salt, with the following stages: An injection channel, an extraction channel and an outline communication space are made so the injection and extraction channels are connected, and at least one outline blind tunnel is made so it extends between an open end and a closed end, with the open end opening into the communication space. A salt solvent is then injected via the injection channel into the communication space before it hollows out the cavity by dissolving the salt. The resulting brine is then removed through the extraction channel. To hollow out the cavity the blind tunnel is also hollowed out by circulating the solvent in the tunnel. Cavity formed by using this process.

Date Aug. 7, 1997A process for the separation of propylene from an input stream of C3 hydrocarbons containing propylene and methyl acetylene and/or propadiene and, optionally, C4 and/or higher hydrocarbons is described. The process includes subjecting the input stream to fractional distillation to separate propylene as an overhead stream leaving a bottoms stream containing the methyl acetylene and/or propadiene and the C4 and/or higher hydrocarbons, when present. A propane-containing stream is added to said input stream whereby propane is separated as part of the bottoms stream. The propylene content of the bottoms streams is maintained at less than 10% weight. The amount of propane added to the input stream is such that the weight of propane, propylene, and C4 and/or higher hydrocarbons, when present, in the bottoms stream is greater that the total weight of methyl acetylene and propadiene in the bottoms stream.

Abstract: A method and apparatus by which a graph can be used to invoke computations directly. Methods get information into and out of individual processes represented on a graph, move information between the processes, and define a running order for the processes. An application writer informs a system incorporating the invention how processes should access necessary data. The invention adds "adaptor processes", if necessary, to assist in getting information into and out of processes. In general, in one aspect, a method executes on a computer system a computation expressed as a graph comprising a plurality of vertices representing computational processes, each vertex having an associated access method, and a plurality of links, each connecting at least two vertices to each other and representing a flow of data between the connected vertices, comprising the steps of: (1) accepting the graph into the computer system as user input; (2) preparing the graph for execution by performing, on the computer system, graph transformation steps until each vertex is in a runnable state, and each link is associated with at least one communication method compatible with the access methods of the vertices connected by the link; (3) launching each link by creating, by means of the computer system, a combination of communication channels and/or data stores, as appropriate to the link's communication method; and (4) launching each process by invoking execution of the process on the computer system.

Also claimed is a drink to be consumed by a patient for a gastric emptying test which comprises single celled photosynthetic organisms (which have been grown in 13CO2 or 14CO2) suspended in fruit juice having a predetermined caloric value, so that the organisms are unable to penetrate the gastric mucosa and thus pass into the small intestine with the liquid phase so that when oxidised, after digestion and absorption in the small intestine, a detectable rise in the 13CO2 or 14CO2 content of the patient's breath is produced.

Date Apr. 30, 1998A water filter arrangement (10) for trapping gross pollutants flowing in a storm water system is provided in-line or at end-of-line of a storm water pipe. The arrangement comprises an inlet (14) and an inlet area (18) which directs incoming water (16) into a filter (20). The filter traps entrained gross pollutants and filtered water exits the filter via filter outlet (50). The outlet (50) and surrounding walls (58 and 57) are shaped to create a flow of filtered water which forms a water barrier which restrains the flow of water and gross pollutants from the inlet (14) to the outlet (52). The water barrier is located between the inlet (14) and the outlet (52) preferably closer to the outlet than the inlet. As the filter (20) becomes full and the flow of filtered water exiting the filter decreases the water barrier subsides. When the filter is completely blocked, the water barrier completely subsides and the incoming water and gross pollutants by-pass the filter (20) and flow unrestrained without head loss from the inlet (14) to the outlet (52).
