Title: Electronic tennis game
IPC: A63F13/46
Filed: 1980-12-31
Abstract: An electronic tennis game has a display panel 130 with ball segments 174 to 215 which are illuminated in different sequences to simulate a tennis ball which can move from one side of the tennis court to the other along different trajectories. Player elements 216 to 240 are provided on each side of the display panel 130 at positions which intercept the trajectories, each player element including a body portion 242 to 249 and racket segments 250, 252, 254 which can be sequentially illuminated to simulate a tennis player swinging his racket. The racket segments of each player include one returning segment 252 disposed adjacent a corresponding returnable ball segment, e.g. 174. Corresponding to each player element 216 to 240 is a volley button. A game operator attempts to ascertain the trajectory of an approaching ball and depress the volley button corresponding to a player element positioned to intercept it. If the volley button is depressed at the right time, the sequentially illuminated racket segments of the selected player element appear to hit the ball back to the other side of the tennis court. <IMAGE>

Title: Digital concentrator
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1981-09-09
Abstract: A digital concentrator system for use with a plurality of digital carrier systems in the telephone subscriber loop plant is disclosed. The concentrator system comprises a central office terminal (100), a remote terminal (102), and an interconnecting digital carrier path (108). In the transmit direction at each terminal (110,112), a plurality of multiplexed encoded.signal streams are demultiplexed and the encoded signals stored. A selected number of encoded signals are retrieved and multiplexed for transmission to a distant terminal (112,110) as a concentrated pulse stream (123, 175). In the receive direction at each terminal (110, 112), the encoded signals in the multiplexed concentrated stream (125, 177) are demultiplexed and stored. The stored encoded signals are retrieved and the original number of encoded signal streams derived for transmission to the carrier terminal (100, 102). Supervisory and control communication between the two concentrator terminals (110, 112) is achieved by way of data messages on a derived data link. Operation between the transmit and receive directions at each terminal is asynchronous and controlled by a microcomputer (124, 160). <IMAGE>

Title: Wire driving device for window regulator
IPC: E05F11/48
Filed: 1982-01-22
Abstract: A compact and thin wire-driving device for a window regulator which absorbs elongation of wire automatically, wherein both ends of a driving wire 8 are wound round two pulleys arranged parallel, i.e. a first pulley 3 and a second pulley 7, in the same direction; a first gear 4 is secured coaxially to the first pulley 3; a second gear 6 is adjacent coaxially to the second pulley 7 through ratchet teeth 6b, 7b; the first gear 4 and second gear 6 are meshed to each other; and, when the wire is wound up round the first pulley 3, a slack of the wire is wound up round the first pulley 3 and the second pulley 7 remains stopped. The geared pulleys are contained in a casing 1 and the first pulley 3 is driven through a lever 9. When the wire 8 elongates to loosen the tensile force, the lever 9, a first shaft 2, the first pulley 3, the first gear 4 and the second gear 6 are rotated, but the second pulley 7 is not rotated by the braking forces of a wave washer 10 and a spiral spring 13, until the tensile force of the wire 8 overcomes these braking forces. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2095274-A (GB)
Title: Spray dried base beads and detergent compositions
IPC: C11D7/00
Filed: 1982-02-26
Abstract: Free flowing spray dried beads which are useful as a detergent or for the manufacture of a particulate built synthetic nonionic organic detergent composition include water softening aluminosilicate (such as a zeolite), bentonite and water soluble builder, and may also include water soluble synthetic organic detergent and a small proportion of water soluble silicate, although such silicate is preferably omitted. The beads can be made to be of a bulk density within a broad range, and the bulk density may be varied by control of the bead formula and by modification of spray drying conditions. The base beads and detergent compositions formulated with them are of reduced aluminosilicate deposition characteristics, due to the presence of bentonite and the absence of or presence of only a low content of water soluble silicate, with the bead composition being maintained within given ranges. The moisture content of the beads will be such as to maintain at least 2% and preferably 3% or 4% or more of moisture in the bentonite so that its normal swelling power is retained, because the swelling of the bentonite is considered to be important in dispersing the beads in wash water and also, even more importantly, in helping to prevent aluminosilicate agglomeration and objectionable deposition thereof on materials washed, and in helping to break up any minor proportion of such agglomerates which might be formed.

Title: A drinker for poultry or the like
Inventor: PULMAN PROCKTER THOMAS
IPC: A01K39/02
Filed: 1982-03-06
Abstract: A drinker for poultry or other small animals comprises a pan 1 and a dome 5 secured to the pan through a hollow stem 13 to provide a peripheral drinking trough 7. To control the level of water in the trough a regulator 18 is rotatably mounted in the dome wall and the interior of the cross tube 20 of the regulator is open to atmosphere through the hollow stem. A lateral extension 23 of the tube 20 within the dome provides an air inlet of which the height above the base 2 of the pan can be selected by turning a knob 19. When the dome 5 contains water, the selected level of water in the trough 7 is controlled by the position of the air inlet which, to maintain balanced pressures, permits air to enter the interior of the dome as water is discharged into the trough through passageways provided by slots 8 in the dome rim. Modifications to the regulator are described and the drinker may be employed in combination with a control valve for discharging water into the dome through the stem. <IMAGE>
