Title: Anti-locking system for a two-wheel road vehicle with hydraulic dual circuit braking installation
Inventor: BURCKHARDT MANFRED
IPC: B60T8/172
Filed: 1984-01-09
Abstract: An anti-locking system is provided for a two-wheel road vehicle which is equipped with electro- hydraulic braking pressure equipment 13, controlling braking pressure control valves 18, 19 by processing signals from wheel rotational speed sensors 16, 17. In order to obtain both good braking effect and good driving stability when the control equipment 133 responds, the brake slip lambda F of the front wheel is controlled to a value which is always less than the rear wheel brake slip  lambda R. The control responds to hold or relieve the braking pressure if critical values of the wheel deceleration are exceeded and/or if the brake slip  lambda F of the front wheel exceeds a threshold value. As part of the anti-locking system, the braking installation is so designed that for both manual actuation 49 and pedal actuation 47 both wheel brake circuits respond with the installed braking force distribution. This is so arranged that for adhesion coefficients of more than 0.3 between the track and the wheel, the rear wheel would lock before the front wheel should the control equipment not operate. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2151886-A (GB)
Title: Conditional-access broadcast transmission
Inventor: KNEE MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: H04N7/167
Filed: 1984-12-19
Abstract: A conditional-access television transmitter Figure 7 scrambles 82 the transmitted signal in response to the output of a scrambling sequence generator 77. This generator receives the encrypted output of an encryption circuit 160 the input of which is preferably constituted by a frame count signal from a frame counter 240. The frame count signal is also applied to a multiplexer 86 and is transmitted in the transmitted signal. An appropriate receiver Figure 8 descrambles 11 the received signal in response to the output of a descrambling sequence generator 25. This generator receives the output of an encryption circuit 31 which is essentially identical to the encryption circuit 160 in the transmitter. The encryption circuit 31 receives the output of a frame counter 250 clocked at frame rate. The frame counter has a synchronisation input which receives the transmitted frame count. As the same encryption circuit is used at transmitter and receiver, a reversible encryption process is not required. Furthermore this enables the frame count to provide an adequate substitute for separate transmitted descrambling control signals, reducing the amount of control data required to be transmitted. <IMAGE>

Title: Monitoring the position of a member
Inventor: MERZ STEVEN GUSTAV
IPC: G01S15/88
Filed: 1985-03-30
Abstract: The position of a member which is moved by the action of a piston and cylinder assembly (10, 12) is monitored using radiation pulse emitting and receiving means (36). A pulse of a radiation which will pass through the fluid in the cylinder of the assembly is transmitted into the interior of the cylinder (10) from an end portion of the cylinder so that the pulse travels along the cylinder to the piston (12) and is reflected thereby. The reflected pulse is detected and the elapsed time between the transmission and detection of the pulse is calculated. This gives the position of the piston from the elapsed time thereby enabling the position of the member to be obtained. The pulses are ultrasonic, laser or radio. Application to glassware forming machines is described. <IMAGE>
