Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE            The spoken word is converted directly into the written word by the use of an automatic speech recognition device or "translator", which translates the spoken word into corresponding coded signals, and a word processing system. To compensate for the limited vocabulary and other shortcomings of the translator device, special control means are provided for allowing the dictator to verbally spell out each word or expression which the translator is incapable of translating. In this mode of operation, the machine automatically assembles the letters together to form words, and assembles the words so formed with other words to form sentences.  The spoken words and letters appear on the video display screen of the word processor.  The dictator views the text, makes any necessary corrections, and either stores the text codes in an electrical storage device for later transmission to a printer, or directly transmits the text codes to a printer which prints the text as relatively high speed.  The keyboard of the word processor also can be used to input special characters or words, if desired.  Also described is the improvement whereby, if the translator is too slow to keep up with the dictator, dictation is recorded first in a recorder from which it is taken by the translator at a rate at which the translator is capable of landling it.  This makes use of the pauses which normally occur m dictation to give the translator time in which to operate. In an alternative system, dictation from a remote location to a central transcribing station is facilitated by locating a video monitor and a dictating device at the dictator's location, and by providing a communication link, such as by telephone lines or wireless, from the video monitor and the dictation device to the transcription station.     The transcriber transcribes the dictation and transmits it to the video monitor at the dictator's station, where the dictator can dictate corrections into his dictation machine, or can enter the corrections directly by means of the word processing system. When the corrections have been made, the document is typed in final form.  Thus, the preparation and transmittal of a written draft have been avoided, and early correction of the text shortly after dictation has been facilitated.

Abstract: ABSTRACT To manufacture chocolate slabs filled with wafers, wafer-pieces are laid into depressions in chocolate casting moulds, these depressions being lined with chocolate.  The wafer-pieces ejected from a cutting device and lying a-gainst one another both laterally and in a longitudinal direction are first moved counter to the direction of transport of the casting moulds, then sepa-rated from one another laterally to the lateral spacing between the depressions, and longitudinally to the longitudinal spacing between successive depressions. Finally, with a reversal of the direction of movement, the pieces are laid synchronously with the movement of the casting moulds into the depressions. If appropriate, the margins of the wafer-pieces projecting beyond the casting mould are pressed under the margin of the casting mould as a result of local compression of the wafer-pieces.  The apparatus provides, above the conveying arrangement for the chocolate slab casting moulds conveyed one behind another, a spreader device for the wafer-pieces conveyed, lying against one another, counter to the direction of transport of the casting moulds, and, connected downstream of the spreader device against the direction of transport of the casting moulds, a transfer device which is driven by the conveying arrangement and which lays the wafer-pieces in the correct position into the chocolate slab casting moulds.

Abstract: PATENT APPLICATION PAPERS OF                    ROBERT M. THOROGOOD                  FOR:  CONVECTIVE HEATER                 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      A convective heater for heating fluids such as a coal slurry is constructed of a tube circuit arrangement which obtains an optimum temperature distribution to give a relatively constant slurry film temperature.  The heater is constructed to divide the heating gas flow into two equal paths and the tube circuit for the slurry is arranged to provide a mixed flow configuration whereby the slurry passes through the two heating gas paths in successive co-current, counter-current and co-current flow relative to the heating gas flow.  This arrangement permits the utilization of minimum surface area for a given maximum film temperature of the slurry consistent with the preven-tion of coke formation.

Abstract: ABSTRACT       A tamper indicating plastic cap for twist application to a threaded container neck comprises cap, body and a band interconnected to the cap by a plurality of bridges.  Each of the bridges slopes upwardly in the direction of twist application of the cap to the container.  A plurality of drive devices have co-operating abutments on the cap and band which are normally disengaged.  The bridges flex as the band is snap-fitted over a bead on a threaded container shoulder in a manner which enhances the movement of the cooperating abutments towards one another as the band moves upwardly towards the cap.  The abutments engage to drive the band with the cap to prevent breaking of the bridges as the band is snap-fitted over the threaded container neck.  The bridges readily break when the cap is unthreaded from the container neck with the band engaged with the container bead.  Such arrangement substantially facilitates the injection moulding of the cap because the band is significantly spaced from the cap underside.

Abstract: C. A. Watson - 18 FLOWMETER                   ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An ultrasonic flowmeter including two phase locked loops with four voltage controlled oscillators, a portion of each loop forming a common path through amplifiers, an electronic attenuator with automatic gain control, a pulse detector, and a pulse ox phase comparator.  The pulse comparator, through switches, controls the voltage controlled oscillators on a time shared basis.  The voltage controlled oscillators are always driven until a later counter pulse coincides with a corresponding received pulse.  Time sharing is, in part, accomplished by beginning energy propagation in opposite directions at successive times and before either pulse is received.  The oscillators are also alternated to eliminate a zero frequency shift by transmitting alternately at higher and lower frequencies from each transducer.

Abstract: APPARATUS FOR DETECTING AND COMPENSATING  DROP-OUTS IN AN AUDIO AND VIDEO SIGNAL                     ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      Drop-outs are detected and compensated for in an apparatus for reproducing video and audio signals that have been recorded as first and second mixed signals in adjacent first and second parallel tracks, respectively, on a magnetic record medium such as a tape and in which each of the mixed signals is comprised of a video signal mixed with at least one frequency modulated audio signal, in the case of monaural, having a respective carrier frequency. The recorded mixed signals are reproduced by two magnetic heads that scan the adjacent first and second tracks to reproduce alternately the mixed signals recorded thereon, and drop-outs are detected in the reproduced signals.  The audio signals are separated from the reproduced mixed signal, frequency demodulated and combined to form a substantially continuous or reconstituted demodulated audio signal. A compensator is provided in the demodulated audio line and is responsive to the detection of drop outs by a detector therefor to produce a substantially continuous demodulated audio signal, in which drop-outs are compensated. A second dropout compensator is provided for compensating the video signal for dropouts and the second dropout compensator is located in the line carrying the luminance component of the video signal and is responsive to the original drop-out detector output derived from the reproduced signal, The drop-out detector may be responsive to the reproduced mixed signals either prior to combining into a signal or subsequent to such combining. Still further, the drop-out detection may be responsive to drop-outs in the frequency modulated audio signals after the latter have been separated from the reproduced mixed signals.
