Title: Improvements in the construction of roads and the like
IPC: E01C7/12
Filed: 1943-06-22
Abstract: 567,507. Roads and ways. MORGAN, J. S., PICKERSGILL, W. A., and GAMMON, J. C. June 22, 1943, No. 10023. [Classes 20 (iv) and 107] A road or the like is constructed by applying the material forming the running surface to the site, and then underpinning the whole area by introducing a cement grout capable of setting to a concrete. Harmful vegetation may be first removed from the site and a concrete running surface formed thereon by casting in situ or by use of pre-cast blocks ; holes are left or drilled in said surface, and cement grout is forced through said holes in succession, adjacent holes being plugged. Reinforcements may be used. In fens or peaty areas, the sides of the concrete are extended to form haunches to maintain the water table. If desired, larger stone may be laid on the site and rolled, the concrete surface being then laid thereon, and the interstices in the base stone filled by injection from below ; a layer of sand may be provided over the large stone. The flow of the cement grout may be controlled by altering its viscosity. Specification 536,444, [Group II], is referred to.

Abstract: 1,220,177. Electrolysis cells. FARBENFABRIKEN BAYER A. G. March 1, 1968 [March 1, 1967], No.10056/68. Heading C7B. In an electrolysis apparatus comprising a plurality of cells, e.g. for the electrolysis of alkali metal chloride, and in which the anodes 2 of each cell are supported by the cover 4 of the cell, a tube 6 with elastically deformable walls is positioned between the edge 5 of the cover 4, and the edge 7 of the cell casing 8, the tube being connected to means for supplying fluid pressure thereto, and means for controlling the fluid pressure in the tube to thereby raise or lower the position of the anodes in the cell. In the form shown pressure is supplied via conduit 13 to the tube 6 by pump 17, the conduit 13 being provided with inlet and outlet valves 15, 16 respectively. The valves 15, 16 are controlled electrically with respect to a voltmeter 19 measuring the voltage between the cathode 11, which is of mercury, and the conductor rails of the anodes, the measured voltage being converted in a transmitter 20 into a regulating pulse which is processed in pulse converter 21 into a control pulse acting on the valves 15, 16.

Title: Binary-coded decimal counters
IPC: H03K23/66
Filed: 1974-03-06
Abstract: 1448394 Electronic counters FERRANTI Ltd 6 March 1975 [6 March 1974] 10150/74 Heading G4A An arrangement for presetting a mult-stage decade counter S comprises a single stage presetting counter A supplying BCD signals in parallel to all stages of counter S, means for stepping the presetting counter A to a required value and means for selectively enabling each stage of the counter S, one at a time, to respond to the BCD signals and thus display the required decimal digit. Means for actuating the presetting counter A and also a stage selecting counter B comprises a single two-way switch 14. When the switch 14 is operated in the B direction a monostable 24 applies a pulse to advance the counter B so that a decoder 25 enables the next of a set of AND gates 32, 34, 36 associated respectively with the stages S1, S2, Sn of the multistage counter. When the switch is moved in the A direction a Schmitt trigger 21 applies a long pulse via the enabled AND gate and a corresponding OR-gate 33, 35, 37 to enable the respective stage to adopt the value then in counter A; a short while later a monostable 22 applies a short pulse to advance counter A and thus that stage of the counter S. Repeated operating of switch 14 in the A direction advances the stage to the required value. Then switch 14 is again moved in direction B to select the next stage. When all stages have been preset the next operation of B causes it to reset. A signal on line 42 resets counter A to zero via OR gate 31 and enables all stages S1, S2, Sn via the OR gates 33, 35, 37 to zeroize the counter. In a modification, Fig. 2, not shown, which includes the logic circuit for energizing a sign (Œ) display and appropriately biasing the up/ down counter terminal A/S, counter B and decoder 25 have an extra step used to select the sign of the preset value.

Urokinase is then bonded to the treated polymer with the aid of N-ethyl-5-phenyl-isooxazolium- 3-sulphonate. (2) Similar to (1) except that streptokinase is bonded to the treated polymer instead of urokinase and the bonded enzyme is fixed by further treatment with hexamethylene diamine. (3) Polyethylene tubing is treated with a flowing gaseous mixture of 95% oxygen and 5% fluorine. Urokinase is then bonded to the tubing and the product is treated with hexamethylene diamine. (4) A 1 mil. film of polyethylene terephthalate is exposed to a dry gaseous mixture of 30% fluorine and 70% nitrogen. The fluorinated polyester is esterified by reaction with 1-cyclohexyl-3-(morpholinoethyl)carbodimide and the obtained imido ester addition compound is reacted with urokinase. It is stated that the gaseous mixtures for fluorinating the polyester material may contain up to 6% oxygen.

Title: Information transmission system
IPC: G11B5/027
Filed: 1975-03-14
Abstract: The influence of disturbances such as tape noise, distortions or dropouts is to be drastically suppressed. For this purpose, an information signal and a compensation signal are read out from a recording medium. The compensation signal corresponds to the unwanted signal which has entered the information signal during its recording. The information signal and the compensation signal are contained in recording channels (S1, S2). The channels S1, S2 may be contained in separate tracks or as separate frequency bands in one track. During the recording, the input signal is recorded in the first channel (S1). The recorded signal is read out and is fed with the input signal, time-delayed in the time-delay element T, to a comparator device (A). The output signal of the comparator device reproduces the error in the recorded signal; it is recorded in amplified form in the second track (S2) as a compensation signal. During reproduction, the information signal of the first track (S1) and the compensation signal of the second track (S2) are fed to an adding circuit (C). The output signal of the adding circuit (C) is free from the above-mentioned disturbances. <IMAGE>
