Title: Colour Image Processor
Inventor: SUGIURA SUSUMU
IPC: G03G15/01
Filed: 1984-03-05
Abstract: There is disclosed a colour copier or the like in which an original image is separated into plural image signals of different colour components, which are repeatedly subjected to a determined signal process to reproduce the original image with an improved image quality and with a simple structure. RGB separation signals are converted 75 into yellow, magenta, cyan and black signals which are sequentially selected 77. Each line is stored 79 and read out four times (for a 4x4 dot pixel) to produce one colour image. After each image is formed, the scanning is repeated for the next colour. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2170649-A (GB)
Title: Sputtered silicon as an anti-reflective coating for metal layer lithography
Inventor: CHI TOM
IPC: H01L21/3065
Filed: 1985-09-17
Abstract: A sputtered layer of silicon 16 as an anti-reflective coating (A.R.C.) is formed on a metal layer 12 on a semiconductor body 11 prior to patterning. The silicon, by absorbing light used to expose a photoresist layer 13, prevents the light from reflecting off the metal layer and undercutting the photoresist layer. The use of sputtered amorphous silicon eliminates the critical processing steps of A.R.C. bake and spray developing required by spin-on A.R.C.s. The process is performed at low temperature and metal and sputtered silicon are etched simultaneously. The metal layer may be aluminium or a refractory metal silicide. <IMAGE>

Title: Radio interference cancellation circuit
Inventor: ASHMAN MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: H04B1/12
Filed: 1986-07-17
Abstract: A radio interference cancellation circuit comprises a signal combiner 9 arranged to receive signals from two separate aerials 4, 6 and includes manually adjustable phase and amplitude weighting controls 11, 13 respectively via which signals from one of the two aerials are fed to the signal combiner 9 such that the weighting controls 11, 13 can be adjusted to cancel out an interference signal. Switch means 14 are provided for switching out of circuit one (13) of the manual controls and for substituting a low frequency repetitively swept automatic control signal from a ramp generator 17, 18 so as to facilitate setting of the other (11) of the manual controls. The automatic control can subsequently thereafter be switched out of operation to facilitate setting of the said one (13) manual control. This allows the manual setting for cancellation of the interference signal to be effected in a relatively short time. <IMAGE>

Title: Combustion gas depurator mechanism
Inventor: DIEZ NIETO DOMINGO
IPC: B01D53/50
Filed: 1987-01-29
Abstract: The depurator 4 is arranged at the fume release chimney exit, after a known solid particle release mechanism 2, and has the purpose of removing sulphurous anhydride from the combustion gases. The fumes, already free from solid particles, enter an expansion chamber provided with atomizers 5 which eject under pressure a liquid wherein the sulphurous anhydride is fixed, the liquid being aspired from a container 7 through an electropump group 6. Under gravity, the liquid falls from the expansion chamber in order to be re-used. Inside the container 7 a stirrer 10 homogenizes the mixture. After neutralization the liquid is drained to the sewer through a drainage 11. The electropump group 6 may function automatically with a boiler burner. <IMAGE>
