IPC: B01D67/00
Filed: 1988-01-07
Abstract: An improved reverse osmosis membrane and process for making the same is described. The membrane is prepared by treating a polymer bearing primary amine groups with nitrous acid or a diazonium compound so as to react the resulting diazonium groups with other groups present. The resulting membrane possesses improved chlorine resistance. When the nitrous acid treatment is employed, the water flux of a polyamide membrane is frequently increased with little or no effect on the salt rejection of the membrane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a loom with pneumatic weft insertion where a number of individual support nozzles are arranged distributed across the weaving width. The loom contains a profile reed with a nose projecting from the front edge of the reed against the fell of the cloth. The support nozzles are constructed as flat jet nozzles and have a central reinforced core which is adjoined on either side by fan-like flat jets of reduced jet width. These flat jets each cover in the manner of a curtain a section of a space between the reed front edge and the nose, which acts as a guide channel for the weft thread to be inserted. The particular shape of the flat jets is brought about by a notch in the nozzle body of the support nozzles, in the centre of which is the jet exit opening and whose mutually oppositely extending branches flatten out toward their outer ends.

Abstract: 12-step commutation in a brushless DC motor is achieved by six shaft-mounted commutation sensors and circuitry which permits inexpensive shaft-angle decoding for coil excitation. The commutation signal devices are Hall sensors arranged in two sets. A first set is arranged to produce the desired switching signals every 120 electrical degrees; a second set of three Hall sensors is similarly arranged equally spaced between the electrical switch points of the first set, however, the second set of sensors is wired together through the process of EXCLUSIVE-ORing to form a single, fourth output. Thus, the six Hall sensors are configured to produce four output signals which may be inexpensively decoded using a standard 32 x 8 PROM. A further refinement includes current modulation to the field coils in order to equalize the torque output of alternate steps. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by reducing the gain of the motor's servo amplifier so that the desired current shift is achieved by changes in the motor's load impedance.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving an HDTV signal over standard television bandwidth channels. The system provides for quadrature modulation of the standard NTSC carrier with an augmentation signal containing components of the HDTV signal. The upper sideband portion of the quadrature modulation is suppressed along with the carrier produced from the quadrature modulation. The resulting lower sideband extends into the lower adjacent channel frequency spectrum, and is transmitted along with the standard NTSC video signal. Improved compatibility is achieved with existing NTSC signals by varying on an alternate line basis the phase of the augmentation signal to avoid the consequence of carrier phase shift from DC components in the quadrature modulated signal. A time gated demodulator is provided at the receiver for accurately tracking the phase of the carrier, permitting accurate demodulation of the quadrature augmentation signal. A demodulation circuit is described having phase shift compensation for removing the effects of phase delays incurred during processing of the received broadcast signal.

Abstract: In an electronic interactive information processing system with plural terminals, data is stored in the form of documents. An end user A can enter a request for a copy of a document, owned by an end user B, to be furnished when end user B initiates deletion of the document from the system. The request is stored in the system. On initiation of deletion of the document by end user B at a terminal, the request is retrieved and displayed at that terminal. End user B can then decide whether the request is to be honoured, and, if so, send a copy to end user A, who then becomes owner of that copy.

Abstract: A method for reducing interchannel noise or spectral splatter in fast Fourier transform (24) processing of digital data. Data is offered and processes along two paths (16/18, 14). During processing along the first path (16/18), a sharp dis­continuous edge is detected. Weights are applied to data samples around the edge to smooth the discontinuity. When the edge is processed by Fourier transform methods, the sharp edge no longer causes broad band interchannel noise.

Abstract: An electronic circuit contains a main stage (10 and 12) that produces a digital code consisting of a plurali­ty of bits (B₀ - B M-1 ) that make binary transitions as a function of an input parameter (V I ). A synchronization stage (14 and 16) synchronizes transitions of bits (B₀ - B K-1 ) in one part of the code with corresponding transitions of bits (B K  - B M-1 ) in another part. When the input parameter is in transition regions where bits in the first-mentioned part of the code could go to wrong values, the synchronization stage suitably replaces the values of bits in the first part with information based on bits in the other part.

Abstract: A power supply device for supplying at least one load (5, 6) with electrical energy from a source (1) contains a switching state (7) for the optional connection of the load or loads (5, 6) on the basis of a switching signal supplied to it, and a control circuit (14) which, in its switched-off state, interrupts the energy supply to the switching stage (7) and to the load or loads (5, 6) and, in its switched-on state, controls the energy supply at least to the switching state (7). Such power supply devices are used in particular in television sets with remote control, for "normal operation" and "standby operation". In order to obtain the advantages of "standby operation" with this device and, on the other hand, to reduce the electrical power consumed and the number of components which are stressed by heating or the application of voltage, the switching signal (on 21) is also supplied to the control circuit (14) for switching over between the switched-off and the switched-on state. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A shift rail interlock mechanism (18) for a transmission having a plurality of parallel shift rails (16a,16b,16c) is operative to inhibit movement more than one shift rail from its neutral position at a given time. The interlock mechanism includes a support member (20) which supports the rear ends of the shift rails for axially shiftable movement along their respective axes. The support member (20) has an aperture (30) formed therein which extends transversely to and intersects the shift rails. A separate interlock pin (31,32) is slideably mounted within the aperture between each pair of shift rails. Each of the interlock pins is provided with tapered end portions (31b,31c) defining end surfaces (31d,31e) engageable with end surfaces of adjacent pins. Each of the shift rails (16a,16b,16c) is provided with a separate notch (933a,33b,33c) for receiving the tapered end portion of at least one of the interlock pins and which is in transverse alignment with the notches of the other shift rails when the transmission is in a neutral position. Movement of any one of the shift rails from its neutral position causes the notch of the shifted rail to engage the tapered end portion of one of the interlock pins such that the pin is moved axially within the aperture. The shifted rail secures the interlock pins in a predetermined fixed position within the notches of the other shift rails to prevent the other shift rails from moving from their neutral position until the shifted rail has been returned a neutral position.
