Abstract: A dipstick comprises a blade (1) having a handle (4) connected to one end of the blade by means of an intermediate resilient tubular collar (3), said one end of the blade and said collar being provided with first formations (10, 11) that cooperate as a snap-fit when said one end of the blade is inserted into the collar thereby to retain the two axially together, and said handle having a central aperture (5) to receive the collar as a close fit and said handle and said collar being provided with second formations (16, 18) that cooperate as a snap-fit when said collar is inserted into the central aperture in the handle thereby to retain the two axially together, said first formations (10, 11) then being constrained radially within said aperture (5) so as to lock the blade therein. Thus, the blade and collar can be easily assembled together and both then inserted into the handle to form the complete assembly in a simple manner. Preferably, the handle and collar are composed of plastics material and the blade is either metal or plastics depending upon the particular application. Said first formations may comprise a pair of notches (10) in the,blade and a cooperating projection (11) on the inner surface of the collar. Said second formations may comprise a pair of lugs (16), provided on an end of the collar that project from said central aperture and cooperate with a shoulder. An axial slit divides said projecting end of the collar into two in a plane perpendicular to the blade and extends as far as the notches in the blade.

Abstract: A phase detecting circuit for detecting a phase differential between a reference clock and a bit timing extracted from a demodulated signal, which is derived from a modulation wave modulated by a digital signal. The circuit successfully eliminates points of discontinuity in the phase detection characteristic of a phase detector and, therefore, accurately determines a phase differential between the bit timing and the reference clock with no regard to the magnitude of the phase differential of an input. An absolute value averaging circuit is provided for averaging the absolute values of a plurality of consecutive outputs of a phase detector. A sign majority decision circuit is provided for producing one of positive and negative signs of the consecutive outputs of the phase detector which is decided by majority. Further, a multiplier is provided for multiplying an output of the absolute value averaging circuit and an output of the majority decision circuit, the resulting product being delivered as a phase differential.

Abstract: The subject-matter of the invention is a method and a device for separating a mixture containing a mechanically relatively less resistant material, in particular material blasted from a support by means of the abrasive material, into two mixture parts, of which one mixture part mostly contains relatively coarse granular abrasive material, and the other mixture part mostly contains roughly or virtually powdery or pulverous material, in particular blasted material. The mixture is first of all moved mechanically in such a way that, by the effect of the abrasive material from a certain grain size on the blasted material and the abrasive material below a certain grain size, the portion of roughly or virtually powdery or pulverous blasted material is increased, and that the mixture treated in this way is fed to a grading means in which the separation of the mixture into a mixture part with at least mostly coarse granular material and into a mixture part with at least mostly more of a powdery or pulverous material is effected.

Abstract: In an image in which some pixels in some rows of an image have values associated therewith, apparatus and method of processing, for subsequent entropy coding or decoding, graylevel data for the remaining pixels in the image. A compressor (300) includes a graylevel model (302) and an entropy encoder (304). One input of the encoder (304) corresponds to the quantizied value and its second input represents the state which points to a specific pro­bability in a table of probabilities used to define decision context. The compressed data is communicated via a transfer element (306) to a decompressor (101) including an entropy decoder (312) which operates in an invers fashion to entropy encoder (304). A graylevel model (314) provides a state input to the decoder (312) pointing the decoder to the same probability entry in the probability table as is pointed too in the encoder (304) during the compression. From the compressed data and the state in­put the entropy decoder (312) provides an output to the graylevel model element (314) which corresponds to the graylevel model (302) and is thereby able to generate an output that corresponds to the input of the com­pressor (300).

Abstract: A heterodyne color signal recognition circuit generates an error signal for each horizontal line of an input video signal for which the phase relationship of the horizontal sync pulse and color subcarrier burst exceeds a given phase relationship by a predetermined tolerance. The error signals are summed over a video field to produce a preliminary non-direct color signal for the video field. Preliminary non-direct color signals for successive video fields are digitally filtered to generate a non-direct color signal indicative of a heterodyne color signal source, the non-direct color signal being used to automatically switch in a time base corrector between the input video signal and further video processing.

Abstract: When a voltage (V) of a D.C. power source having an internal resistance (5a) exceeds an "exciting voltage" (FIG.2), transistors (21, 28 and 33) turn ON, and a transistor (30) turns OFF, and then a tripping winding 16 is excited to close a circuit breaker; on the other hand when the voltage (V) is lowered under a "tripping voltage", the transistor (33) turns OFF and the transistor (30) turns ON, and thereby a load resistor (31) which is less than a resistance 34 of the tripping winding 16 is connected to the D.C. power source; consequently, the voltage V is further lowered by the internal resistance (5a), and a voltage difference is produced between the exciting voltage and the tripping voltage, thus making a "hysteresis characteristic" between the exciting voltage and the tripping voltage.

Abstract: A resonant power converter is disclosed which is constructed on an integrated magnetic core (2), with primary (4), secondary (6) and tertiary (8) windings occupying separate legs (P,S,T) of the core (2). The tertiary winding (8) is connected in a reso­nant circuit and induces a flux in the primary leg (P) that causes the primary winding (4) current to assume the shape of a series of generally sinusoidal pulses. Primary winding (4) switching can thus occur at zero primary current between pulses, thereby eliminating prior interference problems. Furthermore, the converter can be operated in a pulse width modulated mode to accommodate for varying output load levels without the problems of low frequency operation encountered by prior frequency modu­lated resonant converters.

Abstract: A flow-through system for use with at least one sealable pressure or non-pressure container (12) can be used to selectively sterilise, humidify and aerate the container and can be integrally or releasably attached to the container. The system includes at least one liquid reservoir (36) for holding a sterilant, such as an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide. A second liquid reservoir (50) for holding water for humidification may be provided. The system also includes a unit (20) which houses a heater for vapourising incoming liquid and optionally heating incoming air and a converter for converting selected vapours to a form suitable for disposal. A vacuum pump (40) draws air from the container to reduce pressure therein so that air from an air supply (30) is drawn through an air filter (34) into the heater and into the container. A substantial portion of the withdrawn air from the container is diverted to the converter. The reduced pressure in the container may be sufficient for urging liquid from the reservoir (36) to the heater where the liquid is vapourised and carried by the stream of air into the container. Alternatively, a remaining portion of withdrawn air may be used to exert pressure within the liquid reservoir (36) to urge the liquid to the heater. Valves (38) are provided to selectively control liquid flow to the heater.
