Title: Device for magnetic inspection of the belts of belt conveyors
Inventor: HANSEL JOZEF
IPC: G01N27/90
Filed: 1984-12-27
Abstract: A device for magnetic inspection of the belts (15) of belt conveyors has the load-bearing structure (3) supporting guides (2) of adjustable spacing upon which rest two components (1) of the head mounted independently of each other. Two arbitrary outer lateral surfaces of the components (1) of the head support elastically rolls for resilient engagement with the belt and the top outer surface supports interlocking mechanisms (5) slidably engaging the guides 2. Thus by positioning the components (1) at selected positions along the guides, the length of the belt (15) may be inspected along lines spaced apart across its width. <IMAGE>

Title: Microwave power divider
Inventor: DOMOKOS JOHN
IPC: H01P5/12
Filed: 1985-01-23
Abstract: A microwave power divider comprises a Wilkinson power splitter having, from its input A, a microstrip line 4 which divides at 6 into two lines 7 and 8 each 1 DIVIDED 4 wavelength long, having their outputs B1 and C1 connected by a resistor 9. A quadrature delay in the form of a 1 DIVIDED 2 wavelength long transmission line 10 is connected between B1 and one output B of the divider. An incremental phase compensator in the form of a band pass filter is connected between C1 and the other output C of the divider, and comprises a 1 DIVIDED 4 wavelength long transmission line 11 connected between C1 and C and two 1 DIVIDED 4 wavelength long stubs 12 and 13 connected to C1 and C and short-circuited to earth. At the centre frequency, line 10 delays the signal by 180 DEG , line 11 by 90 DEG  and stubs 12 and 13 have no effect, so that a 90 DEG phase difference occurs between B and C outputs. As the frequency varies, the same phase increment occurs in the filter (by suitable selection of its characteristics) as in the line 10, to maintain the outputs in quadrature. <IMAGE>

Title: Air separation
Inventor: GARRETT MICHAEL ERNEST
IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 1985-09-30
Abstract: In a cryogenic air separation plant, a reversing heat exchanger has switching passes 4 and 6 for an incoming air stream and a "waste" nitrogen stream, and a pass 8 for product nitrogen. As shown in the drawing, water vapour and carbon dioxide previously deposited in pass 6 are resublimed by the waste nitrogen stream. The resulting impurity laden nitrogen stream is compressed in compressor 10 and purified in membrane separator 18. The resultant purified nitrogen stream may be expanded in an expansion turbine 24. The yield of nitrogen from an air separation plant may thus be increased. If desired, the membrane separator 18 may be retro-fitted to a cryogenic air separation plant.   <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for separating oil from other material in crude oil
Inventor: CHIN KWOON KOK
IPC: B01D21/00
Filed: 1986-01-08
Abstract: Crude palm oil enters a tank 1 through a pipe 8 at a point below a frusto-conical partition 4. The oil rises onto an upper central chamber 5 to form a relatively thick layer which is removed by a skimmer 9. Crude oil also flows upwardly through openings near the periphery of the partition into an annular stabilizing chamber 10 at the top of which another layer of oil is formed and is removed by skimmers 11. Waste is taken from the bottom of the tank only when the tank is full, by means of pipe section 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 which act as an overflow. A third chamber 13 may be provided to receive oil from the skimmers 9 and 11, and water at the bottom of chamber 13 may be syphoned off by a pipe 41. Pipes 24 carry steam which is injected into the tank at its bottom and into the chambers 10 and 13, and water is sprayed from annular perforated tubes 34 and 38 on to the oil in the chambers 5 and 10 to break up foam. <IMAGE>

Title: Television display device
Inventor: BAGSHAW JOHN MARTIN
IPC: G02B5/28
Filed: 1988-09-14
Abstract: A cathode ray tube 1 is used to address a spatial light modulator which includes a photoconductive layer 6, a light blocking layer 7, a dielectric mirror 8 and a liquid crystal layer 8 between transparent electrodes 5, 10. The image pattern formed in the liquid crystal layer is varied cyclically in dependence upon successive frames of colour information displayed on the phosphor layer 3 of CRT1. These image patterns are read by a light beam whose wavelength (colour) is cyclically selected (eg by an acoustic-optic tunable filter) in synchronism with the cyclically varied image patterns to thereby provide a multi-colour display of variable intensity. This finds particular application in head-up displays for use by pilots of aircraft. <IMAGE>
