Title: A garment security device
Inventor: SINCLAIR JAMES STUART
IPC: E05B69/00
Filed: 1982-06-09
Abstract: Apparaus for restraining movement of a flexible member of a garment security device comprises a chamber having an inlet aperture 20 and an outlet aperture 21 for receiving a portion of the flexible member 17 therethrough, a movable member at least a portion of which is located in the chamber and which is movable relative to the chamber and a lock 26 for securing the movable member relative to the chamber. The arrangement is such that when the portion of the flexible member extends through the chamber and the movable member is moved relative to the chamber, the portion of the flexible member extending through the chamber is diverted from an axis extending through the apertures thereby restraining movement of the flexible member in a direction longitudinal of the axis. In use the flexible member extends through e.g. the arm of the garment on a hanger. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2126820-A (GB)
Title: An optical sensing system
Inventor: DAKIN DR JOHN PHILIP
IPC: G01S17/02
Filed: 1982-07-17
Abstract: An optical sensing system comprises an optical fibre (4) arranged to be subjected along its length to fibre deforming forces during operation of the system and means (1) for producing coherent light signals for transmission along the optical fibre (4). The optical fibre (4) is provided along its length with a plurality of equally spaced discontinuities (5 to 11) which effectively divide the fibre (4) into a plurality of fibre elements so that a small proportion of each light signal being transmitted along the fibre (4) will be reflected back along the fibre from each of the discontinuities (5 to 11). In this way each reflected light signal after the first interferes with either the previously reflected signal from the preceding discontinuity or a reference light signal of the same frequency or a frequency with a constant difference frequency to the transmitted light signal to produce an electrical signal in photo-detection means 12. The difference between respective electrical signals corresponding to successive fibre elements is dependent upon the length of the fibre elements between discontinuities (5 to 11) so that changes in length of these elements produced by the incidence of deforming forces will result in changes in the electrical signals which will be detected. <IMAGE>

Title: Wood preservative composition
Inventor: BEAUFORD WILLIAM
IPC: C08K5/00
Filed: 1983-10-05
Abstract: A wood preservative composition comprising an oil-based thixotropic alkyd resin, an oil-based oxidising alkyd resin, an organic solvent, a drier for the resin, pigmentary material and a biocide. The wood preservative compositions of the present invention can therefore be seen to be thixotropic, providing a long lasting highly adherent film, which is designed to be relatively porous so that moisture is not trapped in the wood substrate with the result that the adherency is considerably improved. Moreover, the relatively porous nature of the film permits the biocide to migrate into the wood and therefore remain effective for a long period of time.

Title: Data reproducing device
Inventor: AKIYAMA TORU
IPC: G11B19/20
Filed: 1985-03-29
Abstract: A data reproducing device has a phase correcting means (5) using a reference signal synchronous with a color burst signal in a PAL system color video signal read out of a recording medium eg a video disc recorder, to correct the phase of one of the chrominance signals in the PAL system color video signal. Oscillating means (25) is provided for oscillating at a frequency corresponding to an input signal. Signal selecting means (15) are provided for selecting, in response to an instruction, an output of the oscillating means (25) or an external reference colour sub-carrier signal, as a reference to the phase correcting means (5). Phase difference signal generating means (6,16) produces a signal corresponding to a phase difference between an output of the signal selecting means (15) and the color burst signal. The arrangement is such that, when the signal selecting means (15) selects the oscillating means (25), an output of the phase difference signal generating means (6,16) is supplied to the oscillating means to form a phase-locked loop, and when the signal selecting means (15) selects the reference colour sub-carrier signal, the output of the phase difference signal generating means (6,16) is utilized to perform time axis error correction (21,22,23) to make the color burst signal synchronous with the reference color sub-carrier signal. <IMAGE>
