Patent GB-2330736-A (GB)
Title: Timing recovery with reduced jitter movement
Inventor: JIN GARY Q
IPC: H04L7/02
Filed: 1997-10-24
Abstract: A local receiver clock is stabilised with respect to transmitted reference timing signals by using a one tap least mean square (LMS) algorithm to estimate a pre-cursor timing location taking into account all previous samples. A dead zone is set around the estimated timing location and the local clock is only adjusted if the subsequent timing location is found outside the dead zone boundaries. The arrangement results in reduced jitter since only noise loud enough to move the subsequent timing location out of the dead zone causes a wrong timing movement.

Title: Communication device sharing on a local area network
Inventor: LIBUCHA MARK A
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a computer system that allows communications devices (36), such as X.25 cards (36), to be shared by workstations on a local area network (24). Particularly, the present invention relates to a computer system for enabling an application program (12) on a first workstation (10) to access a wide area network communication device (36) residing on a second workstation (26) through a device driver (30) that appears as a file system driver to workstations on the local area network (24). Because the device driver (30) is a file system driver, applications may use standard system calls, rather than device specific calls, to access the device (36).

Patent GB-974737-A (GB)
Abstract: 974,737. Spring starters. F. PERKINS Ltd. May 11, 1961 [June 9, 1960], No. 20276/60. Heading F1K. A spring starter comprises mounting means adapted to be fixedly attached to an engine casing, a pinion shaft rotatably carried by the mounting means for releasable engagement with a starter ring and spring means surrounding the shaft and having one end in driving connection therewith and having its other end anchored relative thereto, the arrangement being such that the spring means may be wound by rotation of the shaft in the appropriate direction and the spring means comprising at least one pair of spiral springs arranged side by side, oppositely spiralled, and interconnected in series by a metal member substantially encircling the same. Energy is applied to the starter by sliding a ring spanner of adequate length over the hexagonal portion 29 of the shaft 2. If the spanner is now made to rotate the shaft 2 in a clockwise direction in Fig. 2, the one-way clutch 31 takes up and causes the motion to be transmitted to the arbor 12. This applies tension simultaneously to all four springs 4 to 7 since they are in series. At the same time it causes the toothed disc 27 to rotate pushing the roller 37 off the tooth 44 of slide 38 and on to the bellcrank lever 40 which owing to the backward slope of the rear face of the tooth on the disc is pushed down to allow the disc to turn. When the tooth of the disc 27 has passed the roller 37 is restored by the bellcrank lever 40 under the action of the spring 39. Thus with the slide in the position shown in Fig. 2 the ball 37 acts in effect as a one-way ratchet which allows movement of the disc only in the clockwise direction. If the ring spanner is rotated in an anticlockwise direction the roller 37 prevents unwinding of the springs 4 to 7. The release lever 42 has an arm 42A, Fig. 3, of such radius that it cannot be moved until the shaft 2 is pushed inwards to align a circular recess 2A with the arm. The action of pushing the shaft 2 inwards engages the pinion 11 with the engine starter ring and compresses the return spring 34. The operator now turns the release lever 42 so that its arm 42A passes through the recess 2A in the shaft 2 and this causes the lever shaft 41 to rotate clockwise in Fig. 2, and to push the slide 38 out of the recess 43. The roller 37 then falls to the other side of the tooth 44 and the toothed disc 27 rotates freely in an anticlockwise direction under the torque applied by the springs 4 to 7 to the arbor 12. The arbor 12 thus rotates and drives the engine through the clutch 31 and pinion 11. If the operator releases pressure on the button 28 the shaft 2 remains engaged but when the energy is spent the shaft is returned by the spring 34. The spring means is safely withdrawable as a cartridge as the extent of unwinding of the spring means is limited by the retaining end caps.

Patent GB-191327048-A (GB)
IPC: C08L1/02
Abstract: 27,048. Jirotka, B. Nov. 24. Beehives.-Wood pulp is pressed between hygroscopic rollers or surfaces to produce a crumbly mass, this mass is moulded under pressure, whereby more moisture is expressed, into slabs, plates, non-conducting coverings, household articles, bee-hives, bodies of violins and other musical instruments &c., and the moulded articles are dried. The drying may be effected by heating the mould, in which case it is advisable to remove the core to allow of shrinking, or by immersion in boiling oil, varnish &c. or by treatment with alcohol at ordinary temperature. To increase the elasticity, dried and powdered pulp may be added to the pressure pulp before moulding. The articles may be polished after the application of a silicate or dry pulp to the surface, and may be reinforced by cores inserted before the pulp has hardened, or by beating in metallic ornaments, the article being locally softened by liquid if necessary.

Title: Apparatus and method for the continuous production of mineral wool quilt
Inventor: HORRES JOHANNES
IPC: D04H1/4226
Filed: 1992-12-17
Abstract: 2.1. The object of the invention is to facilitate an improvement, as compared with the previous apparatus and the previous process for the production of mineral wool mats, with respect to the mat formation process on the drums of the accumulating conveyors arranged at the lower end of a chute. 2.2. The apparatus for continuous production of mineral wool mats features several fiberisation units (1, 2, 3, 4) which communicate with a chute (9) for the formation of a mat (14). The fibers are deposited under the influence of suction pressure onto the curved surface of the accumulating conveyor (10, 11). According to the invention, at least one of the drum-shaped accumulating conveyors (10) is designed to pivot around an axis (23) essentially arranged perpendicular to the flow direction (22) of the mineral wool in such a way and to the extent that a discharge gap (21) can be adjusted to a width corresponding to the thickness of the mat (14) to be formed. 2.3. Production of multi-layered felt webs. <IMAGE>

Title: Channel acquisition method and apparatus for a communication system
Inventor: PATSIOKAS STELIOS
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 1992-03-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus whereby a communication unit (10) transmits a communication channel request and the nearest base site (12) makes the communication channel grant or allocation. A base site receives the channel request signal, measures the received signal strength (RSSI) level of the received signal, and if that level is above a threshold level, a communication  channel is allocated to the requesting communication unit, thus establishing a communication link. If the channel request signal does not have an RSSI level above the threshold, the base site delays the grant of a communication channel for a period inversely proportional to the measured RSSI level to allow other base sites the opportunity to grant a communication channel to the requesting communication unit. If the base site determines that another base site has granted a communication channel to the requesting communication unit, the allocation process is stopped, and the base site continues scanning for channel request signals.
