Title: Surface-cleaning tool
IPC: A47L11/30
Filed: 1983-08-27
Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning surfaces has a cleaning head which is designed to bear against a surface being cleaned. The cleaning head includes a discharge nozzle which is connected with a source of flowable cleaning material and is arranged to discharge such material against the surface being cleaned. A pair of shields is disposed about the discharge nozzle. The cleaning head further includes a suction nozzle which is connected with a source of suction and serves to remove contaminated cleaning material from the surface being cleaned. A brush is disposed between the discharge nozzle and the suction nozzle and functions to scrub the surface after the cleaning material has been applied thereto.

Title: Apparatus for recording a video signal
IPC: H04N5/782
Filed: 1983-12-12
Abstract: Video signal recording apparatus, wherein a magnetic tape is helically wrapped on a guide drum and comprising a single rotary head for scanning the magnetic tape. One field of the video signal is divided into N segments. Each segment is time-compressed to ensure a time corresponding to an interval where the single rotary head cannot scan the magnetic tape. The segments are sequentially recorded on respective N recording tracks. A synchronizing signal interval of the video signal may also be time-compressed. Seperate memories (15, 16, 19) to be alternatively switched may be used to temporarily store said video signal interval and said time-compressed synchronizing signal interval respectively. Horizontal and vertical synchronizing signal intervals and/or even and odd field intervals may be stored in seperate memories (16A, 16B; 16, 19). Only one clock signal generator (14) is sufficient for writing and reading.
Patent EP-0104020-A3 (EP)
IPC: B29C59/00
Filed: 1983-09-07
Abstract: A wind-up mechanism 10 comprises a driven wind-up 
drum 12 having a perforated outer surface 24. A web 34 to be 
wound up passes around the drum onto a core 22 where it is 
wound up to form a reel. The core is freely rotatable on a 
turret 16. A cylinder 20 urges the reel against the drum 12 so 
that rotation of the drum causes rotation of the reel. The 
interior of the drum is divided by partitioning into a pressure 
chamber 28 connected to the delivery of a pump 32, and a 
suction chamber 30 connected to the suction of the pump. 
Suction tends to increase frictional adherence of the web to 
the drum in the region of the suction chamber 30, whereas 
pressure tends to assist separation of the web from the drum 
in the region of the pressure chamber 28. A new method of 
cutting the web and changing over from a completed reel to 
a new core is also disclosed. Furthermore, an embossing 
apparatus is disclosed in which a perforated drum such as 
the drum 12 is used to strip the web from the embosser roller 
by applying suction to the web to suck it away from the 
embosser roller.

Patent EP-0117753-A3 (EP)
Title: Methods of and apparatus for recording digital information signals
IPC: G11B15/46
Filed: 1984-02-27
Abstract: In a system for recording and reproducing digital signals on a magnetic tape (12) using a rotary head (11 A, 11 B), in which the signals are recorded as a series of slanted tracks (14A, 14B) without guard bands between adjacent tracks (14A, 14B), a pilot signal that was recorded during the recording process is used to control the tracking of the playback head (11 A, 11 B). The pilot signal is recorded at a specific position in a specific pilot signal record region, independent from the region of the track (14A, 14B) at which the information signal is recorded, and the pilot signal is arranged at a predetermined position or positions being a specified distance from an end of each track (14A, 14B) in its longitudinal direction, and only alternate tracks receive the pilot signal. When the recorded tracks (14A, 14B) are reproduced by a rotary playback (11 A, 11 B) having a tracing width that is greater than the width of the track (14A, 14B), the pilot signals from the adjacent tracks (14A, 14B) will be detected and can be compared in level, with the comparison output being used to control the tracking of the rotary playback head (11 A, 11 B).

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling locomotive strings in a fuel conserving manner
IPC: B61C17/12
Filed: 1984-08-03
Abstract: An electronic fuel conserving control system for multiple unit locomotive trains includes a microprocessor (10) which adjusts the throttle settings of the individual locomotive units so that each operates at either full power, half power or minimum power and so that the minimum number of units are operated at full and half power necessary to maintain the train at the desired speed. Special features of the control system include automatic gradual reduction of the locomotives to minimum power when the air brakes (input signal 244) have been applied for a predetermined time of between 30 and 60 seconds; if the dynamic brakes (input signal 42) are applied for 30 seconds or more, a maximum delay of 90 seconds is programmed to permit manual control following release of the dynamic brakes and before automatic fuel conserving control is resumed; tamper-proof preselection of the number of units permitted to receive dynamic brake loading; tamper-proof minimum and maximum speed limit switches (226, 227) which establish a preset speed range in which the control system operates in the fuel conserving mode; and a quick power reduction control button (260).

Title: Process for the preparation of liquid 2-hydroxy-methylthiobutyric acid
IPC: C07C67/00
Filed: 1984-11-13
Abstract: A process for the preparation of 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid. 2-Hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyronitrile is hydrolyzed with mineral acid to produce an aqueous hydrolyzate containing 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid and substantially free of unreacted 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyronitrile and 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyramide. 2-Hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid is recovered from the hydrolyzate by extraction. Extraction may be carried out without prior separation from the hydrolyzate solution of any substantial fraction of solids present therein, and 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid may be recovered from the extract by steam distillation. The extraction solvent has a boiling point of between about 60 DEG C and about 200 DEG C, and the distribution coefficients for 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid between extract and raffinate, and between extract specimen and wash water, favor transfer to and retention of the acid product in the organic phase.
Patent EP-0178671-A3 (EP)
Title: Distributed control store architecture
IPC: G06F9/26
Filed: 1985-10-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus for a microinstruction controlled unit having multiple subunits which are controlled by microoperations encoded within microinstructions from a control store. One master subunit controls the order in which the microinstructions are executed by generating the address of the next microinstruction to be read from the control store. The method provides for the overlapping of the execution of a current microinstruction while the next microinstruction is being addressed and read from the control store. The control store is divided into control substores with each control substore located near the subunit which executes the microoperations stored in its associated control substore. Subunits can affect the order of microinstruction execution by causing a trap in the master subunit which will cause the next microinstruction to be read from a predefined address within the control store. If required, the master subunit can read in status information from the subunits in order to determine the condition within the subunits that caused the trap to occur. A means is provided for storing a return address which allows for rexecution to continue at the next microinstruction that would have executed had a trap not occurred.
