Title: Sub-calibre projectile
Inventor: TAAL CORNELIS
IPC: F42B12/74
Filed: 1989-06-19
Abstract: A sub-calibre, spin-stabilised, multi-purpose projectile (FAPDS) of heavy-metal material sintered in the liquid phase and comprising mainly metallic tungsten powder with additions of cobalt and nickel provides high final ballistic efficiency against lightly armoured aerial and ground targets. The tungsten content of the projectile body amounts to between 90 and 99.5% by weight, the density of the sintered material to between 17.5 and 19.2 g/cm<SP>3</SP> and the ratio of cobalt to nickel in the matrix phase to between 1 : 0.5 and 1 : 2.5. The projectile body 10 is made in one piece and is equipped at the front with a cylindrical trunnion 22 serving to secure a nose 24 of tempered steel. The sintered material of the projectile has a highly sensitive matrix, only provided after suitable heat treatment to ensure resistance to the stresses involved in the feeding and firing operations and that the projectile body, on encountering the target, completely disintegrates as a result of very low resistances and exerts an optimum fragmentation effect.

Title: Window glazing system
Inventor: SCHOLES ERNEST MALCOLM HEYWOOD
IPC: E06B3/08
Filed: 1991-06-12
Abstract: The invention provides a window or door system comprising an outer frame 5 capable of receiving outside fixed glazing components; and an inner frame 23 inserted, from the exterior of the system, into position in the outer frame 5 and fixed thereto by tongue 43 (or by screws), the inserted inner frame 23 being arranged to receive a glazing component 25 fitted from the inside of the system.

Patent GB-2253079-A (GB)
Title: Stable memory protection using capability tables
Inventor: COGHLAN BRIAN ARTHUR
IPC: G06F12/0875
Filed: 1991-11-26
Abstract: A stable memory circuit includes a capability circuit 10 which has an object capability table 14 and a process capability table 15 each of which are stored within stable memory banks. The object capability table 14 stores a capability entry 16 for each page of the stable memory banks and the process capability table 15 stores a list of the object capabilities for those pages that a process may validly access. Since control and access of the capability tables takes place within the stable memory circuit the host processor is unaware of their values and thus it is impossible to modify any capabilities deliberately or accidently. The capabilities may also be used to provide central update logging and central dependency logging. A cache circuit incorporating a stable memory circuit which serves both the data and tags for the cache is disclosed. Further, stable memory circuits may also include disk and network interfaces and may be arranged in fully or partially instantiated N-dimensional configurations. <IMAGE>

Title: Tracking in a video tape recorder
Inventor: HONG SANG-BEOM
IPC: G11B15/467
Filed: 1991-12-23
Abstract: A method for setting tracking data of variable speed modes in a video tape recorder having an automatic tracking circuit therein comprises the steps of detecting current tracking data after performing automatic tracking, and then calculating a tracking data variation value by subtracting initial tracking data at a normal speed reproducing mode from the current tracking data, and setting variation data functions depending on the tracking data variation value, for two times normal and/or slow speed reproducing modes, and detecting initial tracking data at the two times normal speed and/or the slow speed reproducing modes and adding the variation data functions to the initial tracking data respectively, so as to transmit current tracking data at the two times normal speed and/or the slow speed reproducing modes. Therefore, even at the two times normal and/or slow speed modes, tracking similar to automatic tracking at the normal speed reproducing mode can be made and tracking error therefore decreased. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-912943-A (GB)
IPC: G21C1/10
Abstract: 912,943. Nuclear reactors. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Sept. 29, 1961 [Oct. 14, 1960], No. 35286/60. Class 39 (4). Fuel elements are located in the channels of a moderator of a nuclear reactor, and a plurality of separate duet means for the supply and/or exhaust of cooling fluid are connected each with a separate channel, the duct means also providing access to the channels for fuelhandling operations. The core 1 of the reactor is composed of graphite bricks 4, a neutron shield 5, and channels 6 through which coolant gas can flow and in which fuel elements 7 are located. Standpipe means 9 extend through the end of the pressure vessel 2 and provide access to the channels. The standpipe means 9 comprises a pair of concentric pipes, the outer pipe 10 constituting a cool gas duct and the inner pipe 11 the hot exhaust duct, these pipes communicating with a cool gas ring main 12 and a hot gas ring main 13. The pipes 10 are apertured at their end so that coolant gas passed into the space between the core and the pressure vessel, and then into the channels 6 to abstract heat from the fuel elements. Cross-overs 14 are provided between the hot gas ring main 13 and the pipes 11 and neutron absorber members 16 are placed between the fuel elements and the pipes 11. The inner pipe 11, the absorber 16 and the fuel elements are strung together so that they can be moved as a complete unit, and to enable this operation to be carried out a replaceable cover-plate 17 is provided. In a modification, each channel is adapted to provide a re-entrant coolant path whereby inlet fluid is arranged to cool the moderator before passing over the fuel elements. In a further modification, means are included for abstracting poison products from the channel by a separate coolant stream.

Title: Deblurring image data using motion vector dependent deconvolution
Inventor: DORRICOTT MARTIN REX
IPC: H04N5/14
Filed: 1993-08-05
Abstract: The deblurring deconvolution is dependent upon the capture time T of the image and the motion vector detected for that part of the image. A multiplexer 14 selects between deblurring deconvolutions performed in parallel in dependence upon a plurality of different candidate motion vectors V1, V2, V3 and zero motion. A region processor 10 identifies boundaries between areas within the image corresponding to different objects and controls a mixer 16 to selectively output deblurred values or unprocessed raw video values so as to reduce edge effects due to the inappropriate application of deblurring deconvolution at the edges between objects. Provision of parallel deconvolutions allows the system to operate in a continuous pipelined manner. <IMAGE>
