Title: Dynamic type MOSRAM
Inventor: MATSUMOTO TETSURO
IPC: G11C11/408
Filed: 1983-09-13
Abstract: In a dynamic type MOSRAM of the address multiplexing system wherein column selecting address signals and row selecting address signals are time-serially multiplexed and applied to the memory, an individual row address buffer R-ADB and column address buffer C-ADB are provided. Their outputs are multiplexed by a multiplexor MPX on common address lines CR-ADLs, in order to reduce the area occupied by those lines. Thus, the column address buffer can be brought into a precharged status without awaiting the end of the operation of the row address buffer. Accordingly, in the case where the row address buffer and the column address buffer are to be continuously operated at an enhanced speed, the enhancement of the operating speed is not limited by a period of time taken for precharging the column address buffer. Accordingly, the operating speed of this RAM can be enhanced.   <IMAGE>

Title: Shaping brass by cropping
Inventor: BASILY BASILY BARSOUM
IPC: B23D23/04
Filed: 1984-12-04
Abstract: Cropping is a useful method of converting cold metal in bar form into billets, and is employed routinely on 70/30 brass. However, the method is unsuccessful on 60/40 brass, which appears to be too brittle; the cropped ends are so distorted that any billet made in this way is useless. According to the present invention, brass of composition 58-63 weight % copper, up to 4% lead, up to 0.3% iron, up to 0.5% other constituents, balance zinc, is cropped at from 160 DEG C to 420 DEG C, preferably from 200 DEG C to 400 DEG C, more preferably 300 DEG C to 350 DEG C. At the lower temperatures, in general, a higher strain rate (faster cropping speed) is advisable. Torque may be applied about an axis orthogonal to the shearing plane during cropping; additionally or alternatively, compression may be applied along such an axis.
Patent GB-2157014-A (GB)
Title: Optical fibre modulator
Inventor: AVICOLA KENNETH
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 1985-02-28
Abstract: An optical modulator comprises a main fibre 1 and a fibre segment 48 held substantially parallel to the main fibre in a manner such that envanescent field coupling exists between the main fibre and the segment. The distance between the fibre segment and the main fibre is variable in response to external pressure. In use an interrogating light probe is sent in one direction along the main fibre and coupling with the fibre segment causes a return signal to be generated whose intensity is proportional to the distance between the fibre segment and the main fibre. The fibre segment may consist of a loop of the main fibre, as shown, or is an optical fibre separate from the main fibre. Several such modulators may be combined to form a data gathering system such as a hydrophone array for marine seismology which may employ time division multiplexing. <IMAGE>

Title: A boiler
Inventor: PORTER DAVID
IPC: F23L15/00
Filed: 1987-01-29
Abstract: In a boiler of the kind in which a bed of solid fuel is carried on a moving conveyor (13) in one direction through a combustion chamber (11), a fan (21) supplies air via pipes (40, 41) to injection nozzles (42, 43) which direct streams of air respectively upstream and downstream within the boiler casing to enhance combustion of the bed of fuel on the conveyor and of the combustion gases issuing therefrom, and to distribute cooling air evenly across the boiler chamber at its downstream end. Cooling of exhaust gases helps to solidify molten in suspension solids thus preventing deposition on the boiler walls and gas exit tubes.
