Abstract: The selection of a transmission to be recorded during the programming of a video recorder, using a programme preview transmitted on several teletext pages in the teletext service, using a remote control transmitter, has hitherto been done awkwardly by inputting the number of the desired teletext page number and stepping step by step through the transmissions of the teletext page shown on the screen. The novel device is intended to simplify and accelerate the selection process. The remote control transmitter contains keys and when these are operated, automatically defined jumps are carried out within the entire programme preview. Programming of a video recorder. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved cable tension machine increases the ve­locity for hauling in of cable from approximately 100 feet per minute to an excess of 700 feet per minute. The cable tension machine (10) uses a floating, semirigid track suspension to hold the track belts (22, 34) in contact with the cable. The track suspension in­creases the minor variation tolerance acceptable for the cable tension machine, thereby allowing rapid running of odd shapes through the cable tension machine. A more uniform cable loading force is provided to the cable without excessive force when bod­ies are encountered and without jamming. Basically, the cable tension machine (10) comprises upper and lower track assemblies (12, 14) posi­tioned atop one another capable of applying a tensioning force to the cable which passes between the track assemblies (12, 14). A hous­ing (40) holds both track assemblies in spaced relationship, allowing movement of the upper track assembly relative to the lower track assembly through a pivotable lift point (44) on the upper part of the housing (40). The lift point (44) is located to optimize performance. The housing is open on one side to allow threading of a cable between the track belt (22, 34).

Abstract: A container which holds material for heating or cooking in a microwave oven. Cold spots in the food are reduced by generating higher order modes of microwave energy within the microwave container. This is achieved by providing a structure (26) or structures on a surface, for example the bottom (24), of the container. In the illustrated embodiment the structure is a raised structure having side walls (32), (34) and a top wall (36). Higher order modes propagate within the container as a result of boundary conditions defined by the sidewalls (14, 16, 18, 20) of the container and sidewalls (28, 30, 32, 34) of the structure (26).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining electrochemically active components in a process stream is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing a sample in which the components are contained, and depositing the components onto a working electrode, altering the environment of the working electrode so that it is immersed in a supporting electrolyte by effecting a matrix exchange and stripping the deposit electrochemically active components from the working electrode into the supporting electrode. A method and apparatus utilize a measurement cell which comprises a vessel (10) for containing the supporting electrolyte and a mercury electrode (150). A flow injector (16) is used to inject a flow with the sample electrolyte into the vessel so that the sample electrolyte surrounds the mercury drop electrode and then sinks away from the mercury drop electrode (150) to the bottom of the vessel where it is removed via an outlet (20) to thereby leave the mercury electrode (150) immersed in supporting electrolyte. The deposited impurities are stripped from the supporting electrolyte using variable time domain transient electrochemical stripping voltammetry. The sequence of steps including the deposition of the impurities from an injected flow of electrolyte sample are repeated under microprocessor control (50).

A set of four counters (152) is provided to tabulate the pixels of one color in each binary image that lie within the associated sensor region. A video signal sensor (68) measures variation of the luminance of the video signal. The processor (100) uses the luminance variation measurement to adjust the binari­zation of the video signal to produce normalized binary images under varying lighting conditions.

Abstract: There is disclosed a metal plate laminated body. When a portion encircled by inner and outer closed curves is embossed, a projection (27) is protruded from a lower surface of a metal plate (21). Since a width of protrusion (27) is slightly larger than that of a recess (26), when press-fitting the projection (27) into the recess (26) of the contiguous metal plate (21), an outer peripheral surface of the projection which is formed along the outer closed curve is brought into press-contact with an outer peripheral surface of the recess (26); and an inner peripheral surface of the projection (27) which is formed along the inner closed curve similarly comes in press-contact with an inner peripheral surface of the recess (26). These inner and outer peripheral surfaces cooperate to become effective contactual surfaces, and the contiguous metal plates (21) are joined to each other.
