Title: Substituted 1-pyridyloxy-3- indolylakylamino-2-propanols, preparation, and use thereof
Inventor: KREIGHBAUM WILLIAM E
IPC: A61P9/08
Filed: 1983-09-02
Abstract: 1-(Pyridinyloxy)-3-(indolylalkylamino)- 2-propanols, novel cardiovascular agents having vasodilator activity and a range of adrenergic beta-receptor blocking action, are prepared by any one of three routes that comprise a novel general process. The general process comprises coupling a hydroxyl- or halogen- substituted pyridine with a suitable halogen- or hydroxyl-substituted propanol or incipient propanol intermediate; and the products of these couplings are also novel. In the preferred of the three coupling routes, product 1-(pyridinyloxy)-3-(indolyl- alkylamino)-2-propanols are formed directly; in the other two coupling routes further processing of the coupling products is required to form the 1-(pyridinyloxy)-3-(indolylalkylamino)- 2-propanols. Preferred compounds bear an amide or cyano substituent in the 3-position of the pyridine ring.

Title: Window assembly with stress modifying means
Inventor: CHIRGWIN RAYMOND FRANCIS
IPC: F42B15/01
Filed: 1984-03-21
Abstract: A window assembly suitable for a guided weapon, including a ceramic window and an iron/nickel/cobalt alloy (NILO K) strap 2 located around at least a portion of its periphery, the window in use being subject initially to significant temperature gradients across its surface, being hotter in a central region so that peripheral regions can suffer tensile failure as a result, and the temperature gradients subsequently reducing to a more uniform elevated temperature, the strap 2 being so chosen and located that it initially expands less than the window and thus effects constraint and subsequently, when the temperatures of the window become more uniform, it expands sufficiently to reduce its constraining effect whereby no excessive compressive forces are placed upon the window. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2170377-A (GB)
Title: Voice synthesis module
Inventor: KELLETT N
IPC: G10L13/02
Filed: 1985-01-29
Abstract: With the increasing complexity of facilities offered by a modern private automatic branch exchange PABX, there is a corresponding increase in the need to supply meaningful feedback to the user. There are four main areas where information is required.     (i) Supplementation of failure tones,   (ii) Indication of facility activation,   (iii) Indication of routing,   (iv) Provision of ancillary information.   Currently the majority of the above situations are handled by the provision of selected tones. In the case of call failure, two tones are used to indicate in excess of one hundred different cases of failure during call-up or facility activation. The invention utilises voice response messages to inform the user of a particular condition. The messages may supplement various tones. The voice synthesis module includes a number of speech synthesis channels and a speech data library. The module receives a channel number and phrase number from software, which are read by a CPU during its scanning routine and starts the required synthesiser 'speaking'. <IMAGE>

Such a mat includes a number of extruded strips (1) which are arranged parallel to one another and each of which includes a key (6) on its base and two slots (7) opening transversely on its opposite sides, a number of connectors (2) each having two keyways (10) which co-operate with the keys (6) on two adjacent extruded strips (1) to locate the extruded strips (1) and hold them in a parallel, spaced relationship, and foot-wiping strips (3,4) held in the slots (7) that face towards one another of adjacent extruded strips (1) to occupy the spaces between adjacent extruded strips (1). Such a mat can be tailored to a variety of different sizes. The strips (1) can be cut to length and the number of extruded strips (1) and hence foot wiping strips (3,4) included in the mat can be varied. A variety of connectors (2) may also be provided each differing by only a small amount to enable the depth of the mat from front to back to be varied to fit exactly into an existing mat well. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2154364-A (GB)
Title: Laser assemblies
Inventor: HUGHES JOHN LEONARD
IPC: H01S3/07
Filed: 1985-02-14
Abstract: A single coherent laser output beam is generated by phase locking and adding together a number of outputs from smaller laser fibre oscillators. Each smaller laser oscillator comprises an optical fibre 1 with a laser gain medium 2 inserted therein. The fibre ends are tightly packed together to ensure phase locking and to provide an optically polished face on to which a dielectric laser mirror 4, 5 is deposited, one of said faces acting as an output aperture for the beam. The invention uses a computer to switch the laser gain medium of the sub-oscillators on and off and this switching process can be used to generate patterns of the output aperture of the system. The invention is useful as a compact source of laser beam energy for use in industry, medicine, commerce and defence. <IMAGE>

Title: Modems and echo cancellers
Inventor: TAYLOR RAYMOND
IPC: H04B3/23
Filed: 1987-06-01
Abstract: An echo canceller, for use in a modem, comprises means 32-37 for producing a signal T'X(n) which simulates the echo from a distant end of a line 26 or network of a signal TX(n) transmitted by the modem. A second order control loop 38, 45, 50 compares the simulated echo signal with the actual echo received by the modem and alters the phase  PHI n/T of the simulated echo signal so as to reduce the phase difference between the simulated echo signal and the actual echo. The simulated echo signal is cancelled from the signal RX (n) received by the modem so as to provide a clean data signal E (n). This is intended to reduce distant echoes with phase roll. <IMAGE>
