Patent NO-984907-D0 (NO)
Inventor: ARAS RICHARD JOHN EDWARD
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 1998-10-21
Abstract: A time interleaved bit addressed weighted pulse width modulation (PWM) method and apparatus reduces the bandwidth requirement necessary for providing a plurality of data entries regarding multiple points of information. As is well known, a weighted PWM scheme modulates an output by utilizing a frame time that is divided into events of varying durations; most conventional schemes have each bit in the frame being half the duration of its predecessor. The modulated signal is activated during all, some or none of the events in the frame to develop a signal representing a particular parameter. This method and apparatus can be used in a display for selecting among varying levels of gray scale or from among multiple colors on a palette. In one application for a display, a register containing the same number of data pits as pixels in a row of the display is provided. The register is loaded with one bit per frame for each pixel in the entire row. The bandwidth is reduced because the bit for each of the pixels are not all for the same weight event. This allows a bit for a long duration event to be displayed in one pixel, while more than one bit for shorter duration events to be displayed in another pixel. This obviates the need to load one bit for each pixel in the row during the shortest event duration. The organization of the sequence of the events amongst the various rows can be pseudo-random to achieve reduced bandwidth. If the organization is pseudo-random the order can be pre-selected for an optimized bandwidth or organized into a predetermined format to achieve a pseudo-random effect.

Filed: 1999-11-22
Abstract: In telecommunications networks, various kinds of information transfer occur where transmission periods are not transmitted. As a result of this, parts of the information packets contained in the concerned transmission periods are lost and the probability of loss of these information packets increases considerably. With the method according to the invention, the quality of information transfer is ensured in a telecommunications network where the information packet is coded and interleaved into at least two transmission periods. According to the invention, the method is characterized in that therein the transmission power of at least one transmission period related to the transmission of the same information packet is increased, when at least one transmission period is not transmitted. In another embodiment of the invention, the method is characterized in that the transmission power is increased of at least one transmission period of the same information packet, when at least one transmission period is not transmitted and when by increasing the transmission power the probability of loss of the information packet is sufficiently reduced.

Title: Locking apparatus
Filed: 2007-05-23
Abstract: A locking apparatus 1 for locking a slide-means operated lock device 2, comprises a cylinder lock 3 such as a key operated multipoint lock and a separate lever-type mortise lock 4. In the embodiment shown, the lever-type mortise lock 4 may be a five lever mortise lock or a three lever mortise lock. In the locked position, the mortise lock 4 disables the operation of the handle to open the door. Thus, if the cylinder lock 3 is tampered with as by key-bumping or any other means, operation of the handle does not allow the door to be opened as the bolt 11 of the mortise lock 4 is engaged in the slide bar 5b, i.e. is immovable, and so the bolts 6 remain in the locked position. Only on disengagement of the mortise lock can the slide bar 5 be operated.

Patent GB-8626013-D0 (GB)
Title: Coin handling system
IPC: G07F1/04
Filed: 1986-10-30
Abstract: The coin handling system prevents coin to coin contact taking place in coin operated equipment. This is achieved by an arrangement whereby the presence of a coin activates a lever which then prevents a subsequent coin touching the previous one. A series of such levers are employed in the coin store of coin operated equipment, the actual number depending upon the number of coins to be stored. When the first coin is cleared from the store by a suitable gate arrangement, all coins move along the store by one position, the separation being maintained by the interaction of the levers and coins. The advantages of the system are that a wider range of coins from one coin set can be accommodated in a single store than is presently possible. The coin insertion sequence is maintained for the purposes of microprocessor control since a single store is used. Since coins cannot overtake each other the risk of coin jams is lessened.

Title: Dispensing gun
IPC: B05C17/01
Filed: 1990-03-22
Abstract: A dispensing gun for viscous materials comprises a stock (12) supporting a push rod (28) which is advanceable along a keep (13) in which is mounted a cartridge of the material. The rod is advanced by means of a catch plate (41) and trigger (43) arrangement which bites on the rod and is retreated by a return spring (42). A release plate (51) prevents the rod retreating with the catch plate. The release plate is frictionally engaged with the rod so that it acts as a lost motion brake once force is removed from the trigger. In this way the rod is allowed a limited retreat to take the dispensing force off the cartridge to prevent leakage when the trigger is not depressed. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-9116018-D0 (GB)
Title: Frequency selective structure
IPC: H01Q15/00
Filed: 1991-07-25
Abstract: The structure (10) incorporates first and second conducting layers (12,16) and an interleaving dielectric layer (14). The conducting layers (12,16) have periodically arranged slots (18,20) through their thickness. The layers are arranged such that the slots (18,20) do not overlap when viewed perpendicular to the layers (12,14,16). The thickness of the dielectric layer (14) is very much smaller than a wavelength of radiation at the transmission frequency of the structure. Consequently, significant evanescent coupling occurs between the two conducting layers (12,16). The frequency selective structure (10) exhibits radiation transmission over a narrow bandwidth, and transmission characteristics are relatively unaffected by incidence angle or polarization.

Title: Control operation of a clutch drive system
IPC: B02C17/24
Filed: 1991-12-19
Abstract: A motor-driven drive shaft is coupled to a grinding mill or other unbalanced rotatable member through a clutch arranged to accommodate misalignment, the clutch being so controlled during start-up as to be initially engaged to effect a first limited rotation of the mill in the drive direction, then disengaged to permit the mill to rotate under its own weight through a second rotation in the direction reverse to the drive direction and through a third rotation in the drive direction, and then to be re-engaged during the second rotation of the member in the drive direction. Clutch orbiting is thus reduced if not eliminated.
