Title: Time division multiplex module for use in digital switching network
Inventor: HESKETH TRUMAN HILTON
IPC: H04Q11/08
Filed: 1980-07-31
Abstract: A time division multiplex switching module consists of a serial-to-parallel multiplexer S/P, a speech store SS, a parallel-to-serial demultiplexer P/S, and a control store CS serving eight incoming and eight outgoing t.d.m. lines. The module has a code detector CD, located on its input side, for detecting a mark code, and a code generator CG, located on its output side, for generating either the mark code or idle code. Control words in the control store include two extra bits, an input busy bit and an output busy bit to indicate busy paths through the module. When a mark code is detected by the code generator on a particular incoming line a mark present bit is set in a register MREG (one of six) and the code generator is caused to generate mark codes on all the free outgoing lines. A number of modules are incorporated in a digital switching network arranged in the form of an array and a path can be set-up through the array. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2067871-A (GB)
Title: Information Encoding Systems
IPC: H04N7/167
Filed: 1980-12-09
Abstract: In an information encoding system for coded communication, successive blocks of the information e.g. video information, are pseudo-randomly scanned, the actual pseudo-random scanning sequence being changed from block to block according to a predetermined but "secret" key, the output from the scanning process constituting the information in coded form; and the thus-coded information is then distributed in a form which does not include any details which fully define the key, the required key- defining details being themselves distributed separately and independently. The decoding of the coded information is then only possible with a knowledge of the key identifying the particular pseudo- random scanning sequences used in the coding operation. The system is particularly applicable to the encoding of video tapes to prevent copyright infringement. <IMAGE>

Title: Brake-test assemblies for vehicle brake systems
Inventor: BENILLOUCHE DANIEL FERNAND
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 1982-05-25
Abstract: A brake-test assembly is designed to be applied to the conventional driver-controlled, brake pedal-actuated master cylinder type of vehicle braking system to provide for automatic vehicle braking at constant deceleration when this is required for brake testing. The brake-test assembly has an electronic control 26, responsive to the output of a vehicle decelerometer 30 and the setting of a deceleration- setting potentiometer 28, which can be energized by pressing a push button 36 and depressing the brake pedal 10 of the vehicle to actuate a brake pedal control switch 86. Thereupon, solenoid-controlled change-over valves 40 and 42 in the supply lines 18 and 20 to the front and rear wheel brake circuits 22 and 24 isolate the wheel brakes from the driver-controlled master cylinder 16 and connect the wheel brakes to a separate, electronically-controlled master cylinder 50, which provides modulated application of the wheel brakes to establish and maintain a constant rate of deceleration of the vehicle at the preset value, which is shown on a display 38. The next actuation movement of the brake pedal, or the application of a high pedal effort, returns braking operation to driver control. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for and a method of cleaving laminated plate
Inventor: DANDO KEITH
IPC: B28D1/32
Filed: 1982-05-28
Abstract: The apparatus comprises first, second and third splitting units (11, 12 and 13) contained in a common housing. Each splitting unit comprises two gripper members (14, 15) relatively movable towards and away from each other by power operated means (19 and 20) such that with a plate of laminated material disposed between the gripper members, the latter can be moved towards each other to grip opposing faces of the plate and then can be moved away from each other to apply a splitting strain. A trigger cut at an edge of a desired cleavage plane is formed in the plane by a blade mounted in a carriage (22) and operated by power operated means (24). A self centering device positions the blade midway between the gripper members prior to the blade forming the trigger cut. A transfer mechanism comprises a carrier (39) and two holding devices (41 and 42) for taking hold of the two parts of laminated plate split in the first splitting unit and transferring the two parts to the second and third splitting units respectively. <IMAGE>

Title: Louvred ventilators
Inventor: HUGHES JOHN BENJAMIN RHODES
IPC: E04F10/08
Filed: 1982-08-17
Abstract: A ventilator comprises parallel louvre blades (15) that are inclined to the vertical and a guard (28) located horizontally between adjacent blades (15), adapted to allow air to flow through them and with means (flaps 29a) to cause such air to be directed against at least one surface (e.g. the bottom of the adjacent superior blade 15). The flaps may act to force the air flow against the adjacent superior louvre blade 15 (Figure 3) or may act to force the air to follow a tortuous path through an arrangement of guards 28' (Figure 8). The guards (28) are preferably firmly connected to the blades to increase the rigidity of the structure. The guard (28) may have means (30) which wedgingly engage recesses (27) in the blades (15) or may be riveted to the blades. The blades (15) are mounted on supports (11) and the arrangement is such that either the blades or the supports are preferably under stress or tension. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2104206-A (GB)
Title: Air heater
Inventor: BELL ALAN
IPC: F28D15/02
Filed: 1982-08-17
Abstract: The invention relates to air heaters and provides a means by which the operation of heat exchangers therein can be sustained at an optimum efficiency. The invention proposes the incorporation of a preheater (16) for incoming unheated air which can be selectively thermally coupled to heated air in an outlet duct (12) from the heat exchanger (4). During normal operation the heated air bypasses the thermal coupling, but when the temperature of the incoming unheated air is particularly low, the coupling is made and the incoming air thereby preheated to ensure efficient operation of the heat exchanger. As shown the preheater 16 comprises a plurality of heat pipes 20 which extend into the outlet duct 12. A damper 22 is selectively movable between a first position in which the heated air is directed over the heat pipes and a second position in which the heated air bypasses the heat pipes. Heat is exchanged between hot waste gases flowing through duct 2 and the air by way of heat pipes 6. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A live roller zero pressure accumulation conveyor has a trigger assembly (16) for sensing the presence or absence of articles on the conveyor. This includes an arm (64) pivotable about an axis at or above the axes of rotation of the conveyor rollers. The arm comprises a roller (72) located in an upper position in which it extends above the conveyor rollers in the absence of an article. The roller is urged downwards, pivoting the arm, when engaged by an article moving in either direction on the conveyor, substantially to the level of the conveyor rollers. Sensing means (82) is responsive to movement of the arm for controlling the operation of the conveyor. The conveyor has a plurality of sections with live rotatable rollers, each section being driven by an independently rotating torque tube and including a trigger assembly for controlling movement of the rollers in it. <IMAGE>
