Title: Pouch
IPC: A24F23/02
Filed: 1980-10-08
Abstract: A pouch is formed from a blank comprising two plastics foil blanks joined together at their edges and between which there is an insert blank of paper. The pouch blank is folded over to form a pocket (11) which is open on one side (20) and which has a front wall (14) a rear wall (15), and a closure strip (12). The sides are joined together to form side walls (17, 18) and a bottom wall (16), at right angles to the front and rear walls (14, 15).

Patent GB-2063561-A (GB)
Title: Semiconductor device and manufacturing method therefor
IPC: H01L29/808
Filed: 1980-10-20
Abstract: In a junction gate FET at least one insulating region 25a, 25b is formed at the interface between the source or drain region 22, 23 and the channel region 24. The gate region 26 is produced so that it abuts the insulating region(s) 25a, 25b so that the gate junction does not exhibit a curved edge profile with the associated electric field concentration. This structure increases the high voltage resistance of the FET while enabling the use of a shallow gate region which facilitates the simultaneous formation of bipolar transistors. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-817403-A (GB)
Abstract: 817,403. Totalizators; statistical apparatus. TOTALISATORS Ltd. Aug. 14, 1956, No. 24860/56. Class 106 (1). In multiple betting systems, e.g. doubles and field betting, each bet entered on a combination of runners is recorded in code on a tape which is subsequently read to detect the winning combinations. These are then summed and indicated in the usual way. Counters are thus only required for the winning combinations and the grand total. Ticket issuing. Fig. 2.-Each ticket issuing machine has two sets PB of " horse " keys and an " operate " key. Depression of a key in each set for a doubles bet causes corresponding type wheels TA, TB to be driven through a slipping clutch SC to positions corresponding, respectively, to the selected " horse " keys. This is effected by contact arms WPR, WPR<SP>1</SP> driven by the respective type wheels which wipe over associated contact banks SQ, SQ<SP>1</SP> until contacts marked by the operated keys are reached, when pawls PWL are operated to lock the type wheels. Two further wipers are driven with each of the wipers WPR, WPR<SP>1</SP>, and over these, potentials are extended via contact banks over two selected conductors HW for each " horse " to the recorder. A two-in-eight code is preferably used so that for each selection two conductors out of eight are energized for each " horse ". The operate key effects the actual bet transmission to the recorder, which after operation triggers a trip mechanism in the ticket-issuing machine to permit printing and issue of the ticket. Where a plurality of ticket-issuing machines are used a distributer connects them sequentially to the recorder in known manner, and where tickets of more than one value are provided for, e.g. 5/- and ú 1, a further " value " impulse is sent over a corresponding line to the recorder. For " field " bets one ticket only is issued, the lines corresponding to all the horses in question being energized. Recorder, Figs. 3, 4.-Magnets SOS corresponding to the " horse " selections (4 lines for a doubles bet) and to the value (one line) are energized by the selective impulses from the operative ticket issuer, and insert the tips of corresponding swords SW beneath a hammer H, which is subsequently depressed by energization of a magnet SS to punch holes in a tape PT corresponding to the two " horse " selections and value. The tape is stepped after each punching operation by a pawl FP actuated by the hammer and is taken up on a motor driven spool DS co-operating with a take-up idler TU<SP>1</SP> which controls the motor drive. Alternatively, the punch magnet SS may be replaced by a continuously running motor which oscillates the hammer H. Reading, Fig. 6.-The tape PT is illuminated by a lamp LS light from which passes through each hole sensed and then through an associated light rod PRB, e.g. of " Perspex " (Registered Trade Mark) to a photo-cell PEC. Winning combinations sensed by the photo-cells are passed by a coincidence circuit CCM, set in accordance with the two winners in question, to pulse a counter (not shown) which thus summates the winning bets only.
