Abstract: Apparatus for mixing a fluid comprises a mixing 
tub (12) having a substantially circular horizontal cross-­
sectional shape, and an agitator assembly (14) associated 
with the mixing tub. The agitator assembly includes a drive 
shaft (78) having upper (80) and lower (82) agitators 
attached thereto. The drive shaft is located within the tub 
and has a substantially vertically oriented axis of rotation 
(76). The lower agitator (82) moves fluid generally 
downwardly through a radially inner cross-sectional area 
defined within a first radius (84) swept by the lower 
agitator. The upper agitator (80) moves fluid within said 
first radius (84) generally radially outwardly as that fluid 
is moved generally downwardly by the lower agitator (82), 
and moves fluid outside the first radius (84) generally 
upwardly. A plurality of foraminous baffles (127) are 
mounted within the tub for reducing rotational motion of the 
slurry within the tub about the generally vertical axis (76) 
of the agitator drive shaft (78).

Title: Apparatus for recording and/or reproducing video and audio signals
IPC: H04N5/928
Filed: 1990-06-18
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for recording and reproducing video and 
audio signals on a record medium, wherein the audio signal may be of at 
least two different types subjected to respectively different types of 
audio processing. A recording section produces frequency modulated 
audio signal components (13, 14) and selectively adjusts (9 to 11) the 
level (16) of at least one frequency modulated audio signal component 
during the video blanking intervals as a function of the type of audio 
signal being modulated. Then, the frequency modulated audio signal 
components and the video signal are combined (17) and recorded. A 
reproducing section separated (23 to 26) the reproduced frequency 
modulated audio signal components from the reproduced video signal and 
detects (35 to 38) the level of at least one separated frequency 
modulated audio signal component during blanking intervals. The 
frequency modulated audio signal components are demodulated (27, 28) 
and processed (29 to 31) pursuant to a selected type of audio 
processing dependent upon the detected level of the frequency modulated 
audio signal component.

Title: Electronic circuits and a method for their manufacture by means of ultrasonic welding
IPC: H05K1/18
Filed: 1991-06-28
Abstract: At least one electronic element (12) is ultrasonically welded to a printed circuit board (10) to create the electronic circuit. Proper alignment between terminals of a conductive circuit pattern (14) on the circuit board and terminal units (20) on the connecting surface of the electronic element is ensured by a variety of techniques: (i) small protuberances (22) on the terminal units, (ii) raised section (26) on the bottom surface of the terminal units placed to engage indented portions of the board, and (iii) corresponding posts (36) (on the electronic elements) and holes (41) (formed on the circuit board). The ultrasonic welding of the element to the printed circuit board is typically conducted at a frequency range between 25-30 megahertz which produces a vibration which grinds the terminal units of the electronic element to the terminals of the circuit pattern while also welding the element and circuit board together. Electronic circuits formed in accordance with the inventive concept disclosed herein can be comprised of stacked or interlocking combinations of weldable electronic elements. Such structures can improve rigidity and vary spacial relationships of electronic circuits. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wireless communication unit for a wireless communication system transmits and receives
video, audio and data signals within an RF bandwidth. The RF bandwidth is allocated among
the video, audio and data signals to allow the video, audio and data signals to fit within the
RF bandwidth. The allocation is performed by buffering the signals, making priority
assignments to each of the buffered signals, and transmitting the buffered signals according
to the priority assignments. The transmitted signals occupy the RF bandwidth in portions
specified by the priority assignments. The priority assignments can be changed during a
communication link. The subscriber unit receives a transmission header from another party
on the communication link, which may include a request by the other party to change the
priority assignments. If such a request is received, the subscriber unit automatically changes
the priority assignments in response to the request. The communication unit is applicable to
subscriber units and base stations. One such subscriber can be a cellular telephone having
full-motion video capability.

IPC: G06T15/40

Abstract: An object's Z-buffered primitives are determined using a
floating point  Z = wF/W , where wF is the value the W coordinate
achieves at the front clipping plane F. This representation
produces Z-values ranging from 1 to ≈0 as W varies from  W=wF 
to W→∞. Z-values for distances near the back clipping plane
advantageously have leading zeros and are more amenable to
floating point representation and exhibit less information
loss. Primitive vertices are examined and the largest vertex
floating point exponent is stored and associated with the
entire primitive as that triangle's float point Z exponent.
The stored exponent is subtracted from all the vertices'
exponents and the results converted to fixed point, which
format advantageously typically has few or no loading zeroes.
After normal fixed point set-up and scan conversion operations
occur, each pixel's final Z fixed-point value is converted back
to floating point, and the relevant stored exponent for the
polygon is added back in before distance comparisons are made.
