Title: Transformer coupled communications system
Inventor: WALKER CHRISTOPHER PAUL HULME
IPC: H04L5/20
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: A communication system includes two high speed communication links 38, 40 formed by pairs of transformers 6, 8, 10, 12 at either end thereof. A low speed link comprising a "phantom circuit" formed by the pairs of transformers is used to distribute power to devices connected to the high speed links. In the transmission part of a communications system, data is transmitted under the control of a continuously variable frequency clock. Transmission is on parallel data-strobe links, and the receive part includes circuitry to identify on which parallel the data signal is preset. A method and circuitry is provided for transmitting and receiving dc balanced data-strobe signals. An 8B10B encoder and decoder are described. Also ternary encoding/decoding arrangements.

Inventor: THOMAS ANDREW JAMES
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 1996-02-29
Abstract: A passive acousto-optic modulator for the modulation of a light beam as a function of a variation in air pressure comprising a beam splitter arranged relative to the beam so as to produce a signal beam and reference beam, the beam splitter ideally comprising a flat interface located between two optically transparent mediums such as the end of an optic fibre located within air, the interface being arranged relative to the light modulator such that when the light beam travels through the interface, some of the light beam is able to pass through the interface to form the signal beam, the rest of the light beam being reflected back off the interface to form the reflected reference beam; a light modulator which modulates the signal beam, the light modulator comprising an approximately flat optically reflective surface capable of movement, the reflective surface being located in a position which, at rest is a predetermined distance from the beam splitter and is approximately parallel to and facing the beam splitter and a piezoelectric element, the piezoelectric element being connected to the reflective surface in such a way that when a electric potential is applied across the piezoelectric element, it causes the reflective surface to move; and conversion means to convert variations in air pressure into corresponding variations in a signal for driving the light modulator; the arrangement being such that the modulated signal beam is combined with the reference beam to produce constructive or destructive interference.

Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: A driving device (20) for a shut-off device (10) in a pipe-line (15) comprises a piston/cylinder unit (22, 25) able to be connected to the slide valve plate (11) of the shut-off device (10). A working chamber (23) is connected with the interposition of a closing valve (30) to a pressure medium reservoir (19). The pressure medium reservoir (19) with its outlet opening is connected virtually directly to the opening (27) leading into the working chamber (23) and the closing valve (30) is constructed in this case so that with the latter a very short closing time of the slide valve plate (11) connected to the piston (22) is achieved (preferably a maximum of 500 milliseconds). . Therefore, provided in the cylinder head (25') is an opening (27) opening into the working chamber (23), which opening can be closed by a valve disc (31) of the closing valve (30), an annular chamber (33) following this valve disc (31) on the side remote from the opening (27), in which chamber (33) the pressure medium of the pressure medium reservoir (19) arrives. Thus, after closing, this driving device can be re-used without exchanging a deformed part.

Title: Selector lever for a differential lock and four wheel drive actuation
Inventor: SMITH DEREK JOHN
IPC: B60K23/08
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: A selector handle 2, eg for a tractor, is moveable from a first position, where four wheel drive is deactivated, to a second position in which four wheel drive is actuated and a third position where a differential lock is engaged. To move from the second position to the third position the handle 2 must be twisted about axis (YY, fig 2) so that lever 8 is disengaged from edge 19 of a cutaway path, in a bracket 4, which limits the movement of lever 8.

Title: Portioning apparatus
Inventor: DOE ROBERT
IPC: B26D7/27
Filed: 1999-04-17
Abstract: A portioning apparatus comprises an in-feed conveyor 14 and an out-feed conveyor 16 arranged end-to-end to either side of a cutting device 18. In use, a sheet of liner material 36 is fed from a roll 38 thereof at the upstream end of the in-feed conveyor 14. Material 40 (e.g. meat)to be portioned is fed onto the liner 36 at the upstream end of the in-feed conveyor 14 and passes therealong as the supply of material passes the cutting station 18. When the required amount of material 40 has passed, the cutter 18 is operated so that the cutting edge 30 severs a portion of the required weight. The frictional characteristics of the belt (out-feed conveyor), and the speed of movement are selected such that the belt 16 allows shippage and speed of conveyor 16 is slightly higher than that of the conveyor 14, respectively. Also, conveyor 16 rotates continuously whereas conveyor 14 is momentarily stopped or slowed each time cutting device 18 is operated. At a deposit station, upstream of the apparatus, there may be guide surfaces for centring and shaping the material. The drives of conveyors 14,16 are controlled by a controller 22. A dry/wet boundary exists to facilitate washing of the apparatus.

Title: Process for producing products coated with isotope diamond
Inventor: TIEMANN JEROME JOHNSON
IPC: C01B31/06
Filed: 1992-09-03
Abstract: Broadly, the present invention is directed to a diamond product comprising a core of diamond containing at least about 1 wt-% ¹³C and an epitaxial diamond coating on said core containing at least 1 wt-% less ¹³C than is contained is said diamond core. The diamond core will have a lattice parameter that is smaller that the lattice parameter of the diamond coating. When the coating is forced to grow epitaxially so that it must have the same lattice constant as the diamond core, the coating will be placed under compression. Since ¹³C diamond has the smallest lattice parameter known and the lattice parameter of diamond is a function of isotopic composition, the diamond core should contain more ¹³C than is contained in the coating in order for the coating to be placed under compression. Accordingly, the diamond core can be composed of natural or synthetic diamond having a natural isotopic composition and the coating can be ¹²C or ¹³C. Alternatively, the core can be ¹³C and the coating ¹²C. When mixtures of isotopes comprise the core and/or coating, their composition should vary by at least 1 wt-% ¹³C with the higher incidence of ¹³C isotope being located in the core.

Title: Specific binding assay method using column chromatography and device and test kit therefor
IPC: G01N33/78
Filed: 1980-05-16
Abstract: A specific binding assay method, and a test device and test kit for use therein, for determining a liqand, such as an antigen or antibody, in, or the ligand binding capacity of, a liquid medium, particularly a body fluid such as serum, wherein the unknown ligand competes with a labeled component, such as a radiolabeled form of the ligand or of a binding analog of the ligand, for binding with a binding partner, and wherein separation of the resulting bound-species and free-species of the labeled component is accomplished by allowing the liquid reaction mixture to be drawn by capillary action into a column comprising a bed of an adsorbent material selective for one of the two species. The improvement comprises using a column containing at least one additional bed of capillarily absorbent material disposed above said adsorbent bed and which is substantially nonadsorbent relative to the one of said two species which said adsorbent bed selectively binds. The use of specific types of capillarily absorbent beds in addition to the selectively adsorbent bed to form multilayer columns overcomes several unforeseen problems encountered in using the previously known column chromatography method for certain assay applications.
