Title: Process for adhering particles to a substrate
IPC: D21H19/56
Filed: 1970-12-08
Abstract: 1276417 Bearings NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO 8 Dec 1970 [22 Dec 1969] 58206/70 Heading B2E A process for adhering particles of solid material to a substrate comprises covering each particle with a solid polymeric binder material, applying the coated particles to the substrate and melting the binder material so as to adhere the particles to the substrate and then resolidifying the binder material. The binder material may be applied to the particles as a very fine dust of particle size 0.5-3 microns or by means of a dispersion which may be sprayed on to the particles. The binder material may be a thermoplastic or thermo-setting resin such as an alkyd resin, an allyl resin, such as diallyl phthalate and diallyl isophthalate, an amino resin, such as melamine- and urea-containing resins, an epoxy resin, a phenolic resin, a polyester, a polyimide resin, high or low density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polypropylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, acrylics, cellulosics, acetals, polyamides, polycarbonates, polyphenylene oxides and fluoroplastics. The particles may be close packed on to the surface so that when the binder is melted the articles are attached to each other. Such particles may be applied to a temporary substrate and the self-supporting structure of adhering particles may then be removed. In the Examples microcapsules are attached to substrates by means of powdered epoxy resin, glass beads are attached to metal surfaces using polyethylene, silica particles are attached to paper sheets using an epoxide resin and microcapsules are attached to a sheet material using thermoplastic adhesive.

Title: Rotating vibrator
IPC: B06B1/16
Filed: 1971-12-22
Abstract: 1369650 Road and like rollers CLARK EQUIPMENT CO 22 Dec 1971 [28 Dec 1970] 59840/71 Heading B7H [Also in Division F2] A compactor vehicle comprises a pair of rubber tired rear wheels driven by an engine (Fig. 1, not shown) and a single cylindrical metal roller 16 at the front of the vehicle, the roller 16 rolling freely as the vehicle moves forwardly or rearwardly. Within the roller 16 is contained a pair of vibrators 48 mounted in cylindrical members 36 connected by structural members 34 to the outer cylindrical member 32 of the roller 16. Each vibrator 48 comprises an outer eccentric member 50 and an inner eccentric member 52. The inner eccentrics 52 are driven by an hydraulic motor 54 (left-hand side) via universal joints 56 with a shaft 60 interconnecting the two inner eccentrics for conjoint rotation, while the outer eccentrics 50 are driven by another hydraulic motor 62 (righthand side) via universal joints 64 with a hollow shaft 66 interconnecting the two outer eccentrics for conjoint rotation and enveloping the shaft 60. Fig. 4 shows the.shape of the eccentric 52, also a projection 68 from the inside surface of the eccentric 50 by means of which the two eccentrics are coupled together. When the two eccentrics are in the position shown in Fig. 4, their centres of mass are both on the same side of the axis of rotation. The eccentricity of the member 50 arises from the provision of the projections 72 (shown in Fig. 3). Thus, if the two eccentrics are rotated by their respective hydraulic motors and they remain in the relative circumferential relation shown in Fig. 4, vibration will be produced which is transmitted to the roller 16. If it is desired quickly to stop the vibration it is necessary only to change the relative torque outputs of the motors to move the outer eccentrics 50 circumferentially 180 degrees with respect to the inner eccentrics 52 so that the projection 68 abuts the other side of eccentric 52 as indicated at 68<SP>1</SP> in Fig. 4.

Abstract: 1,272,849. Double twist spindle. ETABS PAIN-BOURGEAS. 12 Dec., 1969 [20 Dec., 1968], No. 60852/69. Heading DID. A double twist spindle comprises a frustoconical rotatable bowl 1, a yarn package carrying assembly 4 co-axial with bowl 1 and prevented from rotating e.g. by magnetic means 5, a tube 11A, 11B extending from the interior of the package assembly to the exterior of the bowl 1 and a twist barrier 8 at the upper end of the package holder tube 6. The thread is drawn from the package, passed through twist arrester 8, through the tube 11 and wrapped in a helix on bowl 1 before being ballooned to an eye 9 whence it passes to a take-up means. The yarn wrapped about the bowl provides greater tension compensation than in prior arrangements and the fact that the distance between the top of bowl 1 and eye 9 is less than normal reduces the tension in the balloon for the same spindle speed.

Title: A digital regenerator having improved noise immunity
IPC: H04L25/24
Filed: 1978-10-17
Abstract: A digital signal regenerator for partial-response signals accompanied by crosstalk or other noise having an amplitude varying with frequency is preceded by a band limiting filter which transforms the signal to a form having increased intersymbol interference and the same or fewer levels and which reduces the total power of the noise. The thus regenerated signal may be detected or passed to a second filter having an inverse transfer function which replicates the partial-response signal at its output so as to form a repeater which appears transparent. The filters may be of the type which combine the signal with a version thereof delayed by once or twice the repetition period. Duo binary signals may be converted to bipolar form in the filter and means are described for correcting code violations produced.
