Abstract: A frequency synthesiser for generating wideband signals for zero Hz up to frequencies in the millimetre wave band provides the ability for arbitrarily fine increments in output frequency. The synthesiser has an optical comb generator that provides a set of reference signals at predetermined intervals. These reference signals are fed to two or more laser devices, at least one of which is a frequency selection and translation device capable of selecting a particular output line from the comb generator and shifting it by some desired frequency. The outputs from the laser devices are then combined and detected using a photodetector. The output from this is the system output. Various methods of producing the frequency selection and translation device are disclosed, as are various methods of producing the optical comb reference signal. Some possible applications of the invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: The system to carry paper sheets to a workstation by pushing them from below, and especially to a sheet-fed printing press, has a setting drive to control the in and out movements of the deflection rollers (8) at the downwards suction belt table (1), where the sheets are carried from the feed plane (5) through a kinked transfer point (7) to the suction belt. The control is linked to the machine control so that, at the start of a forward movement, the rollers are in a rest position over the feed plane. After the feed of at least two sheets (B) pushed from below over the kinked transfer point, the deflection rollers are activated to bear strongly against the suction belt. When a sheet has been caught between the rollers and the belt, the pressure is reduced.
