Patent GB-8428274-D0 (GB)
Title: Weighing apparatus
IPC: G01G21/24
Filed: 1984-11-08
Abstract: Weighing apparatus comprises a fixed member (11) and load supporting means such as a weigh pan or weigh platform (31) movable relative to the fixed member. There is a load sensing device (17, 22, 29) directly coupled between the fixed member (11) and the load supporting means (31), the coupling providing a degree of steadying for the load in the horizontal direction. In one embodiment a weigh pan (31) is solely supported, cantilever fashion, on a movable plate (17), the plates (11) and (17) being interconnected by flexible arms (18, 19, 20). A weigh cell (22) extends between plate (17) and an arm (16) rigid with plate (11). The arrangement ensures that there is virtually no interference with accurate weighing from frictional pivots, hinged links, or external supports or steadying means.

Title: Securing system for hinged panel
IPC: E05C9/02
Filed: 1985-07-01
Abstract: A securing system for a hinged panel such as a hollow stile window or door comprises a rotable handle (17) which drives a rotable pinion (19) acting on a slidable rack (20). The projecting operating member (24) of the rack (20) acts between a pair of abutments (25) fixed to a slidable espagnolette part (12), to move the slidable part (12) relative to a fixed espagnolette part (11) secured to an edge of the window stile. Rollers (15), which may be tapered or flanged, can be engaged or disengaged with keepers (16) in a fully locked position (30) or a locked ventilation position (31). Optional variations of the system incorporate a two or three point locking bar system driven by the rack and pinion and a multi point espagnolette system acting on three or four sides of the hinged window panel. Different widths of stile including slimline stiles can be accommodated using slotted fixing members (22) in one plane and by the configuration of the drive element (24) in a perpendicular plane.

Title: Leg restraint
IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 1986-03-05
Abstract: An orthopaedic device which is suitable for the treatment or prevention of subluxation or dislocation of the hip joint is described. The device comprises a waist band (11), two thigh bandes (16,17) and two leg bars (14,15). Each leg bar (14,15) is attached at one end to a thigh band (16,17) which is free to rotate about an axis which is perpendicular to the leg bar (14, 15). The other end of each leg bar (14,15) is rotatably held in a pivot (12, 13) attached to the waist band (11). Each pivot (12,13) is capable of being inclined downwards with respect to the plane of the waist band (11). The spacial relationship of the axis of the pivot (12, 13) and the distal end of the leg bar (14, 15) is such that the device operates by maintaining the legs of the wearer in abduction that is appropriate to the extent of hip flexion by altering the separation of the legs in a smooth and controlled way during hip flexion.

Title: Predictors for video signals
IPC: H04N11/04
Filed: 1987-05-07
Abstract: A prediction signal is substracted 14 from a video input signal to form a differential signal for transmission via a coder 46. The differential signal quantized 16 is added 20 to the prediction signal to form a predictor input signal from which the prediction signal is formed by means of pixel and line delays 24, 32, 36, 34; multipliers 26, 42, 44 which multiply by weighing coefficients C1, C2 etc. and adders 40, 38, 28 which sum the partial products. The various delays enable the prediction signal to be formed, with enhanced accuracy, from a cluster of samples (at least six and preferably more) taken from a plurality of adjacent lines and, optionally, from more than one consecutive field or picture. Limiters 22 and 30 ensure that neither the predictor input signal nor the prediction signal can go out of range. Advantageous sets of weighing coefficients are disclosed. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-8716195-D0 (GB)
Title: Data encoding
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1987-07-09
Abstract: Values, such as a set of coefficients in a transform-based video coder are to be transmitted sequentially in any one of a number of possible preset orders. The order to be selected is the one that results in the largest number of consecutive zeros (or low values) at the end of the sequence. Values are supplied (in an arbitrary sequence) with addresses, in parallel to a bank of assessment sections - one for each preset order - each of which translates the addresses into addresses representing a position in the respective order and records the highest for which the associated value is non-zero. The outputs of the sections are than compared to identify the lowest, and hence the optimum order of transmission.

The brush bristles (22) comprise resilient plastics filaments (preferably nylon) coated with an abrasive material such as carborundum, and have a radial length such that when the pig is inserted in a pipeline, the bristles are deflected and curved rearwardly so that a substantial part of each bristle lies in contact with the internal surface of the pipeline. The leading end of the pig may comprise a deflector cone (50) to facilitate passage of the pig past a cable deployed in a pipeline. The sail cloth diaphragms (18) may be provided with radially extending pleats (62).

Title: Sonicion
IPC: B64C23/04
Filed: 1990-05-22
Abstract: To reduce drag due to the formation of shock waves where the local airflow over an aircraft wing or tail surface becomes supersonic, positively charged ions are produced in the airflow. An electric current through material (B) at the leading edge produces positive ions in the airflow. Electromagnetic inductive panels (C) located where the shock waves are likely to form produce a field which interacts with the positive ions to reduce shock formation, and hence compressibility losses. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-9217728-D0 (GB)
Title: Method of testing interconnections between integrated circuits in a circuit
IPC: G11C29/12
Filed: 1992-08-20
Abstract: A method of testing the interconnections between integrated circuits in a circuit uses latches, respectively connected to the terminals of the integrated circuit, which are connectable in series as a shift register so that a test pattern of bits can be entered into the latches. The pattern of bits is transmitted through the interconnections to other latches and then shifted out of the circuit along the shift register. Discrepancies between the input and output patterns indicate malfunctioning interconnections. The method is extended to apply to a microprocessor in the circuit, the microprocessor having a program that enables it to use its RAM to act as the latches connected to the other integrated circuits. The program may be stored in on-chip memory in the microprocessor and where that memory is RAM, EPROM or EEPROM it may be erased therefrom after successful testing of the circuit. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Inventor: COOK BRUCE M
IPC: G21C7/00
Filed: 1982-02-01
Abstract: The redundant signals from the sensor assemblies (61, 69,...) measuring the process parameters of a nuclear reactor power supply are transmitted each in its turn to a protection system (53) which operates to actuate the protection apparatus (57) for signals indicating off-process conditions. Each sensor assembly includes a number of like sensors measuring the same parameters. The sets of process signals derived from the sensor assemblies (61, 69,...) are each in its turn transmitted from the protection system to the control system (55) which impresses control signals on the reactor or its components to counteract the tendency for conditions to drift off-normal status requiring operation of the protection system. A parameter signal selector (111, 113) is interposed between the protection system and the control system. This selector prevents a parameter signal of a set of signals, which differs from the other parameter signals of the set by more than twice the allowable variation of the sensors which produce the set, from passing to the control system. The selectors include a pair of signal selection units, one unit (111) sending selected process signals to primary control channels (141) and the other (113) sending selected process signals to back-up control channels (143). Test signals are periodically impressed by a test unit (115) on a selected pair of a selected unit and control channels. When test signals are so impressed the selected control channel is disabled from transmitting control signals to the reactor and/or its associated components. This arrangement eliminates the possibility that a single component failure which may be spurious will cause an inadvertent trip of the reactor during test.
