Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A signal processing system in a transmission system like Teletext System in which a binary signal is superimposed on a television signal for transmission is disclosed. When the binary signal is received, an upper (or lower) level of a pilot signal in the binary signal is clamped to a first reference voltage by a clamp circuit while the amplitude of the pilot signal is controlled by a variable gain amplifier such that the lower (or upper) level of the pilot signal becomes equal to a third reference level. The binary signal is then amplitude-discriminated using a second reference voltage as a discrimination reference. In this manner, the binary signal is correctly converted to a digital signal.

Abstract: Abstract of the disclosure Instant-cooking dry macaroni products are manufactured by preparing a raw macaroni or like macaroni-type food material containing from 25% to 40% by weight of water by mixing, with substantially no kneading, components consisting mainly of wheat flour and water or additives; then subjecting this mixture to a preliminary steaming at a gauge pressure of 0.5 - 1.5 kg/cm2 for 2 - 7 minutes till an .alpha.-conversion degree of from 60% to 80% is reached; then shaping the resulting material into individual molded pieces of a desired configuration; thereafter, with or without application of water to the surfaces of the molded pieces so that these surfaces carry water in an amount not exceeding 100% by weight relative to the weight of the molded pieces; then subjecting the molded pieces to a further steaming step at similar pressure and time till an .alpha.-conversion degree of at least 85% is attained; and thereafter drying them till the water content of the molded pieces is reduced to at most 13% by weight relative to the weight of the molded pieces thus dried. These dry macaroni products have no portions sticking to each other, have smooth surfaces and have fine porous texture, and are easily transformed to an edible cooked state by immersion in hot water for a short time, and give good sense, feel and taste.  Also these dry foods are stable and have good durability without change in quality during storage for an extended period of time.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:     In order to prevent the production of a false signal by a device for detecting the presence of rolling stock on a track section, when a rail is earthed or fractured, a circuit is provided for detecting unbalance of a traction current flowing through a track circuit formed by said track section.          The unbalance detecting circuit is used in combination with a transmitter    generating a track circuit current supplied to the track circuit and with an associated receiver. The unbalance detecting circuit has two current sensors which are connected to the ends of the rails of the track section adjacent to the receiver for producing respective signals representative of the currents flowing through said rails, this unbalance detecting circuit transmitting a track circuit signal produced by the track circuit current to the receiver only when the currents detected by the current sensors are equal or when their difference is small enough to cause no undue excitation of the receiver. The detecting device is further provided with a pole change switch connected between the transmitter generating the track circuit current and the ends of the rails associated therewith for cyclically reversing the direction of said track circuit current.

Abstract: Abstract:    The invention provides a process for the gasification of solid carbonaceous materials such as coal.  Powdered coal is top-blown onto a molten iron bath stored in a furnace through a non-submerged lance toward a hot spot formed by means of a jet of oxygen and steam top-blown through a non-submerged lance.  The coal is blown by means of a carrier gas and optionally flux is also added to the bath or blown toward the hot spot.  The ratio L/Lo of the depression depth L of the molten iron bath to the molten iron bath depth Lo is maintained from 0.05 to 0.15, and the blowing velocity of the solid carbonaceous material is maintained from 50 to 300 m/sec so as to suppress the formation of an adhered mass on the upper part of the furnace, hood or lance.
