Patent GB-2059129-A (GB)
Title: Device for the discrimination of objects to be inspected
IPC: G07D7/20
Filed: 1979-12-17
Abstract: In a measuring station (1) at least one physical magnitude of each object to be tested is measured. A decision logic (2) juges each value measured relatively to limit values contained in a memory (3) and decides whether the object must be accepted or not. The measured values of the accepted objects are statistically processed in a computer (6). The unaccepted objects come to a return station (4). Each measure value provided to the computer (6) is combined, with a selected weighing index (//c) present on an input (7), with the previously stored measured values so as to obtain a new mean value (//c) and a new quadratic means (//c<s2>s). A tolerance factor (p) of the dispersion, present on an input (8) determines the limit values appropriate for the following object. The device is appropriate for the bank notes testing, and for processing measured values, a micro-computer may be used. An input (11) is used for inputting empiric values for the mean value (//c) and the quadratic mean (//c<s2>s) before operating the device. For setting the limit values, the measured values of the first bank notes are used with a waiting index (//c) of high weight, and then the weight may be reduced.

Title: Method and apparatus for dosing liquids
IPC: G01F11/02
Filed: 1980-11-04
Abstract: Quanta of dosant liquid confined in an impermeable container (12) are withdrawn gravitationally from the container into a receiver (18) open to atmosphere, thereby causing the pressure in the free space in the container to be reduced to bring the system into hydrostatic equilibrium. Each quantum is discharged from the receiver into the liquid to be dosed, to allow a fresh quantum to be withdrawn from the container. The receiver (18) is moved by a float (24) responsive to the level of liquid in the chamber (10), e.g. a cistern. The dosant liquid may be disinfectant or a nutrient. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2081998-A (GB)
Title: Muting circuits
IPC: H03G3/20
Filed: 1981-07-24
Abstract: A muting circuit 1, in which the generation of click noise is prevented because the muting operation is effected when the instantaneous level of the input audio signal becomes zero (or closely approaches zero) for the first time after the appearance of the muting signal, or failing this after a predetermined time, comprises a switching circuit 3 controlled by a muting control circuit 5 formed by a level detection circuit 6 and a time detection circuit 7. The circuit 6 detects the level of the input audio signal at the time a muting signal is applied at 8 and when the level approaches the zero level i.e. becomes less than -60 dB, a muting control signal is applied to the switching circuit. With input signals of low level and having a non-zero reference level, the detector 6 fails to respond and after a predetermined time, a time detector 7 causes muting at any input level. A similar operation occurs during muting-off. The input signal may be a digital audio signal e.g. a PCM signal. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2082423-A (GB)
Title: Television ghost cancellation system
IPC: H04N5/21
Filed: 1981-08-06
Abstract: A television ghost cancellation system is provided which includes a delay line (52) having an input coupled to receive video signals which include a training signal component. The delay line provides a delay to the video signals which is substantially equal to the delay of the ghost of the training signal with respect to the training signal when a ghost signal is present. This delay causes a delayed training signal to appear at the output of the delay line (52) at the same time that its ghost is applied to the input of the delay line. The delayed signal at the output of the delay line is applied to a control amplifier (46), which is coupled in a feedback loop (40) with an amplitude comparator (42) and a sample-and-hold circuit (44). The amplitude comparator compares the delayed training signal with the ghost at the input of the delay line and produces an error signal indicative of the amplitude and polarity differences between the two signals. The error signal is stored by the sample-and-hold circuit (44), and is used to develop a control signal for the control amplifier (46) so that the control amplifier will produce a pseudo-ghost signal which is of equal amplitude and opposite polarity as the training signal ghost during the sampling interval. A combining circuit (50) combines the pseudo-ghost signal with the original video signal to produce a deghosted output signal. <IMAGE>

A channel (8) communicates between the recess (4) and the other end of the piston and an inlet (3) connected to a gas source under pressure supplies gas to the other end of the piston (2) to move the piston (2) and/or the supporting member (5) to a position in which the support member (5) contacts the supporting surface. In this position the gas is arranged to flow past the support member (5) while maintaining an increased pressure in the recess (4), thus lifting the load carrying unit from the supporting surface. <IMAGE>
