Patent GB-2134728-A (GB)
Title: Ceiling fan
Inventor: YUNG SIMON
IPC: H02P25/04
Filed: 1983-02-02
Abstract: The fan's operation is remotely controlled by an infra red signal or the like has two receiver units (40, Fig. 2) angularly spaced around the rotational axis of the fan blades at approximately 180 DEG  to one another. Each receiver unit is covered by a wide angle, substantially hemi-spherical lens (42) to collect and focus signals received onto one or other receiver unit so as to enable control by a signal from substantially any angular orientation. Also for safety reasons a ceiling fan has a control circuit (52, Fig. 4) for the regulation of the speed of rotation of the fan blade and that circuit is optically coupled to an electronic switch for controlling fan motor energisation so that the control circuit can be electrically isolated from the mains supply. Further to avoid humming or ringing noise from the fan motor 12 a ceiling fan has an electronic switch 50 for controlling motor energisation, that switch being switched between "open" and "shut" positions only at or substantially at 0 DEG or 180 DEG  in the phase angle of the AC supply to the motor. The control of speed is therefore exercised by repeated energisation for a whole number of half cycles of the AC phase angle followed by de- energisation for a whole number of half cycles of the AC phase angle, variation in the numbers of half cycles of energisation and de-energisation controlling the speed of rotation of the motor. <IMAGE>

Title: Travelling-wire electrical discharge machining method, electrode and apparatus
Inventor: INOUE KIYOSHI
IPC: B23H7/08
Filed: 1983-03-24
Abstract: The improved electrode is for use in a travelling-wire EDM process utilizing an aqueous machining fluid medium which is decomposed by erosive electrical discharges into gaseous oxygen and hydrogen. Breakage of the travelling-wire electrode is reduced or eliminated through the use of an electrode element comprising a continuous electrode wire substrate and a layer of a polymeric substance, attached thereto in a distributed manner such as to partially cover the surface of the substrate and which when subjected to the electrical discharges suffers thermal decomposition to form carbon for chemical combination with at least some of the gaseous oxygen and hydrogen in the machining gap. Breakage of the electrode is reduced since it is the gaseous oxygen and hydrogen which tend to cause continuous arc discharge and explosions which result in the wire breakage. The temperature of thermal decomposition the polymer is preferably 100 to 500 OMEGA C. The elongate element preferably contains a hydrogen active catalytic metal, e.g. Li, Cs or Sm, having a spectrographic wave length of 300 to 600 nm to facilitate chemical reaction of carbon with oxygen and hydrogen in the gap. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2138363-A (GB)
Title: Dot matrix printing head
Inventor: MELONI ROBERT A
IPC: B41J25/00
Filed: 1984-03-28
Abstract: There is provided an improved dot matrix print head having hammer actuators B mounted on a support A. Instead of moving the entire massive support to traverse the paper for each line, only a low inertia member D, which positions the impact ends of the print wires, is moved. The internal structure of the member facilitates minor curvature of the print wires as the member moves (Fig. 7). The member D is rapidly reciprocated relative to the support A, but "dwells" for a short time at each extreme to permit indexing of the paper to the next line. Enhanced graphic capability is possible because each print wire can print a plurality of dots for each line. <IMAGE>

Title: A process for the detection of a starting pulse emitted from a ripple control transmitter and a ripple control receiver for carrying out the process
Inventor: MUELLER BEAT
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 1986-03-13
Abstract: The base band signal recovered in the receiver is temporarily stored and this stored signal is examined for its length and/or density over a given length and correlated with a reference signal having the same length and the form of the normally distorted receiving signal. Synchronization of the receiver does not take place until the correlation value obtained by the correlation of the two signals has reached its maximum and rises no further. The starting pulse is thereby centered in the correlation window, with the result that the correlation value reaches its maximum at the precise moment when the starting pulse lies in the centre of the reference signal, so that synchronization is to a large extent immune to transmission distortions and interferences.
