Title: Method and wiring system for driving a picture display particularly an ac electroluminescent display
Inventor: HARJU TERHO TEUVO
IPC: G09G3/30
Filed: 1983-02-17
Abstract: A method and a wiring system for driving an AC electroluminescent display (C11, C12, C21, C22) based on the thin film technique and comprising a bi-dimensional matrix (X1, X2; Y1, Y2) consisting of X and Y electrodes, wherein line selection pulses are alternatingly applied to the X electrodes (X1, X2) and column modulation pulses corresponding to the desired luminance are applied to the Y electrodes (Y1, Y2). According to the invention, at least some of the display elements (C11, C12, C21, C22) are charged to a maximum basic voltage of variable polarity, which basic voltage has been selected so that the line selection pulses or the column modulation pulses alone are not sufficient to ignite any display element (C11, C12, C21, C22). The line selection and column modulation voltages are superimposed on the basic voltage, which voltages have been selected so that only the sum of the basic voltage, the line selection voltage (URM), and the column modulation voltage (USM) can bring each element to be selected (C11, C12, C21, C22) to the display state. In the solution in accordance with the invention, the withstand voltage required both from the line drive circuits and from the column drive circuits is only equal to the maximum value of the modulation voltages, about 30 V.

Patent GB-2153401-A (GB)
Title: Copying material
Inventor: UHLEMAYR REINHOLD
IPC: B41M5/124
Filed: 1984-12-06
Abstract: The invention relates to copying material, which consists of a base, e.g. paper or a film, in particular for copying sets with a coating material applied to its rear side. The coating material consists of pressure breakable capsules with an internal liquid phase, a filler and a binding agent. The predominant part of the filler consists of fine powder, the proportion of filler, with regard to a constant quantity of applied coating material, is increased (compared with the prior art) to 30 to 45%, preferably 35%, and the proportion of capsules is proportionally reduced. A coating material is thus produced which can be applied to the base in one operation, causes no special drying problems and allows an intensive, rapid transfer of the liquid phase of the breakable capsules to the backing sheet. An aqueous pigment dye, such as prussian blue, may be included in the coating material to maintain the opacity of the copying material after use. <IMAGE>

Title: Contact lenses cleaned with hydrogen peroxide
Inventor: KAY DR BRIAN
IPC: G02C13/00
Filed: 1984-12-06
Abstract: In a prophylactic method for cleaning and disinfecting a contact lens, the lens is contacted for an extended period, typically up to 10 with a solution containing hydrogen peroxide. The contacting is effected in the presence of a solid sustained-release composition which slowly liberates a peroxide inactivator e.g. sodium sulphite and which maintains its integrity over the extended period. The solid composition liberates sufficient perioxide inactivator such that substantially no peroxide remains in contact with the lens at the end of the extended period. <IMAGE>

The attitude of the tilting mechanism is maintained by a parallel, pivoted link (66), and that mechanism includes an actuator (84) for tilting the container (10) about a forward axis (76) between load-carrying and load-discharging attitudes (96,98). The carriage (12) includes a two-wheeled axle (20), and the lifting means (14,44) for the container is arranged to support and move the container vertically between upper and lower limiting, load-carrying positions (10,96) which lie substantially directly above that wheeled axle (20). The lifting means is also arranged so that the container when moving in its horizontal, load-carrying attitude lies at all times substantially directly above that axle. At no time can the container when so moving advance to a position wholly forward of the wheeled axle. <IMAGE>

Hydraulic rams 24 and 23 control longitudinal displacement of the assembly and the raising and lowering movement of the forks 9 respectively. The upwardly-extending part of the mast may also be tilted relative to the base portion by further hydraulic rams 24. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2166868-A (GB)
Title: Temperature change indicating device
Inventor: HILSUM CYRIL
IPC: G01K11/06
Filed: 1985-10-30
Abstract: A device for indicating a rise in temperature above a predetermined value comprising a quantity of a material (5) which changes from a solid state to a liquid state at the predetermined temperature, and an enclosure (1) for the material which is adapted to be fractured by the application of pressure thereto from outside the enclosure (1) whilst the temperature of the device is below the predetermined value. Once the enclosure (1) has been fractured (which is done when the device is put into use) the material (5), on melting, produces a detectable change which cannot be reversed by subsequent reduction of the temperature of the device below the predetermined temperature, e.g. by escaping from the fractured enclosure. Before fracturing the device may be cycled above and below the predetermined temperature without causing the detectable change. The device does not therefore need to be stored before use (i.e. before fracturing of the enclosure) at a temperature below the predetermined value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A high-intensity red natural colorant is prepared from an anthocyanin derived from the cell line of Daucus carota (carrot). The process comprises the cultivation of Daucus carota in a cell tissue culture. Carrot cells are extracted from the cell tissue culture after subculturing and a suitable growth period. The extract is then purified and concentrated in order to isolate the anthocyanin found in the carrot cells. The natural colorant produced is stable over a wide pH range under various conditions, and is useful as a coloring agent for food products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Patent GB-2176283-A (GB)
Title: Gyroscopes
Inventor: SWAIN ROBERT EDWARD JOHN
IPC: G01C19/28
Filed: 1986-06-02
Abstract: It is known to measure the position or the angle of tilt of a body using the spinning rotor 1 of a gyroscope, the spherical surface of the rotor having a pattern of areas of differing reflectivities 3, 4. Optical pickoffs 9, 10 are mounted to project radiation onto the spherical surface and to receive radiation reflected back from it, the movement in rotor position being indicated by the signals received by the pickoffs. However, an output signal indicative of the rotor position requires complicated and costly processing electronics due to the complexity of the equations giving rotor position. Described herein is the spherical surface of a gyroscope having a boundary 5 between the differing reflectivities 3, 4 defined by an inverse sine function which simplifies the equations giving rotor position and hence reduces the complexity and cost of the electronic processing equipment required. <IMAGE>
