Title: Active infra-red detector
Inventor: CASSWELL PETER HENRY
IPC: G08B17/103
Filed: 1986-11-21
Abstract: An active infra-red detecting system comprises a transmitter 2 and a receiver 4 in the same or separate housings for detecting moving objects or smoke by reflected or transmitted light. An oscillator 1 modulates the transmitter 4, and the signal from receiver 4 is amplified by a notch amplifier 8 gated in synchronism by FET 9 before being integrated at two different rates by integrators 36, 10 and 37, 11 and applied to differential amplifier 12. Under quiescent conditions the integrated signals are equal but any change in conditions produces a difference which results in an output from amplifier 12 and switching of a relay 16. Amplifier 15 provides self-monitoring whereby it can generate an indication if parts of the receiver or transmitter should fail. No adjustments are required since the device will automatically threshold itself to the residual returns from the optical environment. <IMAGE>

Title: A roll
Inventor: KARL-HEINZ KUESTERS
IPC: D21G1/00
Filed: 1989-05-03
Abstract: A roll 1 comprises a rotatable shell 6 constituting the outer periphery of the roll and a non-rotating beam 7 which extends through the shell and is supported at its ends, which project beyond the shell, by force exerting means 20. The force for producing the linear contact or nip pressure when the roll is in a calender is transmitted to the internal surface 13 of the shell 6 by an internal support system disposed on the beam 7. The roll incorporates means 40 for reducing the forces exerted by the internal support system and by the force exerting means 20 which support the beam should it prove necessary to quickly separate the roll from an adjacent roll. The roll 1 additionally incorporates a safety feature which prevents the force exerted by the force exerting means 20 from being reduced until the loading on the beam is below a predetermined level, thereby avoiding the risk of damage to the roll.
