Abstract: A printing apparatus has an array of cartridges (40,41,42) for printing a web (2) of e.g. paper passing through the array, and one or more units (48,49) containing printing medium. The cartridges (40,41,42) each are capable of transferring the printing medium from the unit(s) (48,49) to the web (2). The unit(s) (48,49) and the cartridges (40,41,42) of the array are relatively movable, to allow the unit(s) (48,49) to interact successively with at least two of the cartridges (40,41,42). In this way it is possible to change printing from one cartridge (40,41,42) to another, allowing changes to be made to what is printed, without halting the movement of web (2) significantly. The present invention also proposes that the cartridges (40,41,42) may have printing cylinders 43,44,45,46) of different sizes, and furthermore that a mobile unwind stand may be used to move web material to the printing apparatus, and the web output from the printing apparatus processed by sheet folding techniques.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for recording a plurality of audio channels on segmented tracks of a tape by rotary heads. The audio channels to be recorded are allocated to recording sectors (4 to 11) provided for the individual audio channels on the basis of the relation between the number of the audio channels and the number of the segmented tracks, so that each recording track necessarily includes the individual audio channel recording sectors uniformly distributed in the longitudinal direction of the tape, and the two-dimensional distance between the sectors on which the same audio channel is recorded can be made maximum on the tape. Thus, an adverse effect of an error attributable to a dropout and/or a scar formed on the tape can be dispersed, so that high capability for error correction can be achieved.

Patent EP-0447213-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YASUKI SEIJIRO
IPC: H04N7/00
Filed: 1991-03-13
Abstract: This invention relates to multiplex transmitters and receiver pairs which use a method of superimposing an additional signal onto a standard television signal. Improved quality television pictures may be produced both by widening the aspect of the picture and by improving the definition. Compatibility with old receiving sets is ensured if the additional information is sent as a second superimposed television signal. This invention achieves this within the transmitter by the orthogonal transformation (262) of the additional signal. The high order components of the orthogonal signal are then time division multiplexed (264) and super-imposed (34) onto the first television signal while the low order components of the orthogonal signal are frequency division multiplexed (266) and then synthesised (40) onto the vertical overscanning part of the first television signal.

Inventor: ROTZINGER HANS
IPC: B65G47/29
Filed: 1991-05-24
Abstract: The device is used in particular for arranging any type of articles, such as, for example film bags having a liquid filling, with absolutely no back pressure in such a way that they form a row with constant spacing so that thereafter they can be treated or transported jointly, that is to say as a complete regular row. The essential part of the device according to the invention is formed by a telescopically extensible conveyor belt (2) whose ejection edge (9), situated above a laying-down surface (18), can be displaced. A light barrier, which is disposed at this edge and can be switched by the arriving objects (21), causes the conveyor belt (2) to be stopped and the ejection edge (9) to be displaced in the direction counter to the conveyor-belt running direction by a distance which corresponds to the length of an object (21) plus the constant distance to the next object. When the ejection edge (9) has reached the second end of the laying-down surface after the step-by-step shortening of the conveyor belt, a limit switch (24) is actuated which displaces the ejection edge (9) back to the first end of the laying-down surface (18) at the speed of the conveyor belt. <IMAGE>
