Patent GB-2177558-A (GB)
Title: Fusion welding of plastics pipes
Inventor: DALBY DENIS HEADLEY
IPC: G05D23/275
Filed: 1986-06-18
Abstract: Plastics material pipes 10, 12 are built joined by means of an electrofusion coupling 14 having a heating coil 16 energised by the output winding 24 of an electrical generator 20 which has a field winding 22 controlled by a control circuit 26. The coupling has a pressure sensor 18 which monitors the build up of pressure which occurs in the coupling during the fusion process and, through the control circuit 26, inhibits the field winding 22 when the pressure indicates that the fusion process is complete. Alternatively, control circuit 26 may receive an input from a timer 28 to terminate the welding process. The output voltage of the generator may also be regulated by means of the circuit 26 which may have a sensing input connected at the load lid of the output power cables to compensate for voltage drop in the latter. The system eliminates the need for power semiconductors and contactors resulting in savings in weight and cost. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2187845-A (GB)
Title: Measuring sensory responses
Inventor: KOBAL GERD
IPC: A61M16/10
Filed: 1986-12-11
Abstract: For measuring sensory qualities of responses, for example for measuring analgesia in the monitoring of anaesthesia, a gas vapour which triggers a specific stimulus is passed over the nasal mucosa in the form of a series of pulses. and stimulus-correlated electrical signals are derived from an electroencephalogram (EEG) with the aid of a recording apparatus. These signals represent the sensory quality or response. The pulses of stimulating gas are supplied in a manner such that their shape can be altered, for example as shown, and the alteration of this pulse shape enables the EEG-derived signals which serve as the basis of the measurement to be adjusted to optimum values. CO2 and air are supplied to a patient by means of two quick-acting ball valves which are controlled to keep the total flow of gas constant while varying the concentration of CO2. <IMAGE>

Title: Raisable bedless trailer
Inventor: MATTHEWS BRIAN PHILIP
IPC: A01C15/00
Filed: 1987-02-02
Abstract: A trailer has a bedless steel girder chassis 10 which can support two rows of pallets (conventional or "Dumpys"). The unhitched trailer can be hydraulically raised vertically, while a fertilizer spreader 21 can be reversed underneath any "Dumpy" bag 19, which when cut will flow into the spreader. The trailer has a long drawbar (17), Fig 6 and can be hitched on the pick-up hitch underneath a fertilizer spreader 21. This means that one man with tractor, spreader and trailer can spread an off field or farm. This usually takes two men with tractor, spreader, loader tractor and trailer. It can also be filled when at a merchants with eight "Dumpys", which then need no further loader handling. The trailer can be filled with six conventional pallets (2J) Fig 7 forming a flatbed bale trailer, or with parallel heavy channels (27), to form a vehicle low loading trailer and inspection lift. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of processing image signal
Inventor: MATSUMOTO MASAYUKI
IPC: H04N1/409
Filed: 1987-08-14
Abstract: A method of processing an image or picture signal including setting a window of n x n picture element matrix (where n is an odd number) with respect to an image signal obtained by scanning an original picture, calculating a correction amount for pixel information at a center position of the window by a predetermined formula obtained on the basis of the whole pixel information within the window, and subtracting pixel informations of respective picture elements in the window by a suitable subtrahend. The correction amount is calculated from added values obtained by adding whole pixel informations within the window; the correction amount is converted into a correcting value by multiplying the correction amount by a correction coefficient which has also taken into account the subtraction on the correction amount; the pixel information is then corrected by use of the correcting value.
