Title: Circuit for clock recovery.
Inventor: COOK DONALD MARVIN
IPC: H04L25/40
Filed: 1981-12-15
Abstract: In order to recover the clock signal from a Manchester encoded serial data stream which is resistant to phase variations arising between the data bit signals in the data stream, the data stream is delayed by a one-quarter bit period and a three-quarter bit period to provide signals (QBT, TQBT) which are combined in a circuit (1, 2, 3) to provide a clock signal (RF). The circuit includes a latch (1) which is actuated by signals (QBT, TQBT) and a signal (LLF) representing decoded data combined in logic gates (2) and applied to the inputs of the latch.
Patent EP-0070304-A4 (EP)
Title: Partial oxidation system.
Inventor: SWEENEY MAXWELL P
IPC: C07C31/04
Filed: 1982-01-19
Abstract: Method and apparatus for partial oxidation of hydrocarbonaceous gases, wherein a hydrocarbonaceous gas is preheated, reacted with oxygen, and quenched by means of a rotating matrix comprising glassy ceramic fibers. Such a rotating matrix may be constructed and compartmented by a method and apparatus which utilizes the inherent tensile strength properties of the fibers to provide strength to the compartment walls. Such partial oxidation method and apparatus is especially useful in a direct, integrated process for the production of tert-butyl ethers, wherein the product of partially oxidizing methane and isobutane are caused to be methanol and isobutylene, which intermediates are directly recovered and combined to form methyl tert-butyl ether by method and apparatus of the invention. Furthermore, byproducts of such partial oxidation may also be converted to useful tert-butyl ethers.
Patent EP-0079949-A4 (EP)
Title: Improved fluid foil system.
Inventor: OLSEN ERIC
IPC: B63H9/06
Filed: 1982-05-25
Abstract: An improved fluid foil system which is particularly adapted yet not limited to use in sail craft. When used in e.g. a sailboat, the foil (14) is rotationally supported with respect to a mast (26) and laterally tiltable about a longitudinal axis in either direction to receive the wind which in turn powers the boat (12) on which the mast (26) is supported. The mast (26) can be supported in the boat (12) at the other end thereof so as to enable free rotation with respect thereto. In addition, the system is provided with self-leveling means (42, 60) for the foil (14) so as to continually urge such to its rest or non-tilted position, that is, in a position generally parallel to the water, i.e., at a zero attack angle with respect to the wind. This combination of a self-leveling, tiltable, and freely rotationable foil enables the foil (14) to be securely attached to the mast (26) with a minimum of structural weight. This in turn enables both simplified and improved control of the foil (14) and the boat (12) which it powers and otherwise enables maximization of both light and heavy winds in a herethereto unachieved manner.
Patent EP-0105331-A4 (EP)
Title: Controlled ferroresonant voltage regulator with increased stability.
Inventor: LONG JAMES FRANK
IPC: G05F1/13
Filed: 1983-04-04
Abstract: Instability of a controlled ferroresonant power supply under the influence of transients is eliminated. In a feedback loop (19-29) a pulse width modulator (27) is made immune to transients by an inhibit circuit (40) and a zero-crossing detector clock (39). The clock (39) synchronizes pulse width modulator (27) to expected zero-crossing intervals of the rectified power supply output waveform. The inhibit circuit (40) controls clock (39) so that transient zero-crossings occurring during the time interval between expected zero-crossings are ignored. Controlled ferroresonant power supplies find widespread use in line voltage regulators and DC power supplies.
Patent EP-0138991-A4 (EP)
Inventor: THOMPSON LIONEL D
IPC: F02D41/04
Filed: 1984-04-04
Abstract: Une différence entre un taux de changement désiré (300, 304, 312) et un taux de changement effectif mesuré de la vitesse d'un moteur est utilisée pour changer de manière correspondante une commande (36) d'un moteur, par exemple une crémaillère de régulation de carburant (54) dans une pompe de carburant (34) d'un moteur diésel, un régulateur d'un carburateur (non illustré), un compteur de temps pour un injecteur de carburant (non illustré), une vanne de carburant pour une turbine (non illustré), ou tout autre dispositif de régulation. Le taux de changement désiré de la vitesse du moteur peut être atténué de manière critique (316), par exemple par multiplication par un pourcentage ou autre fraction d'une différence entre un débit de carburant désiré et un débit de carburant effectif de manière à éviter tout dépassement de réglage. La crémaillère de carburant (54) possède une butée (69) définissant une position de recalibrage où un programme d'ordinateur (332) peut, lorsqu'il est autorisé, remettre à zéro un comptage d'un moteur pas à pas. Un ressort rotatif (70) retourne le moteur pas à pas (56) et la crémaillère (54) lorsque la puissance d'alimentation est coupée. Des marques ou dents (74) d'une roue de vitesse passent au devant d'un détecteur (72) avec le même comptage à nombre entier entre des allumages successifs de cylindres, et le programme (422, 424, 426) utilise des comptages variables à des vitesses différentes pour déterminer la vitesse du moteur. De plus, des vitesses sélectionnables de ralenti (118), et une remise à zéro de la chute de tension de démarrage initial (146) sont prévues.

Patent EP-0203145-A4 (EP)
Title: Microprocessor speed controller.
Inventor: LANDINO PAUL J
IPC: H02P27/08
Filed: 1985-11-12
Abstract: An AC Motor Speed Controller (Figure 11) utilizes a Microprocessor programmed to control the Speed, Torque and Horsepower of an AC motor. The controller allows the speed of the motor to adjust to the desired level and is calibrated to develop the desired torque, either automatically through load feedback or through a predetermined or preset level. The controller also allows for excessive torque to be developed under starting and acceleration conditions while providing for controlled deceleration with proportional braking of the inertia load. Utilizing a single microprocessor results in a simple low cost controller.

Title: Adjustable spanner.
Inventor: ALFORD LARRY ANTHONY GRAHAM
IPC: B25B13/18
Filed: 1993-06-03
Abstract: This specification discloses an adjustable spanner (10) comprising a handle (12) provided with a first jaw (16) at one end. A lever (22) is pivotally connected to the handle (12) and has coupled at one end a second jaw (24). The jaw (24) is coupled to the lever (22) by a link (36). The link (36) is pivotally connected at one end to the second jaw (24) and pivotally connected at another end to the lever (22). A cam (38) is carried in slot (46) formed in link (36). An elongate slot (40) is cut in a head portion (14) of the handle (18). As the lever (22) is pivoted with respect to the handle (12) the cam (38) rides in slot (40) and the jaws (16 and 24) move linearly with respect to each other. The cam (38) and slot (40) cooperate to form a locking means. The locking means has a free state corresponding to the cam (38) being disengaged from the slot (40) in which the jaws are able to move relative to each other and the locking state in which the cam (38) engages the slot (40) whereby the jaws are locked against movement away from each other. The locking means remains in the free state until the lever (22) is pivoted in a first direction relative to the handle (12) to a position where the jaws (16, 24) can grip a nut (30) or the like placed therebetween. Upon further movement in the first direction, the lever (22) then operates via the link (36) to rotate the cam (38) into engagement with the slot (40) thereby locking the jaws against movement away from each other. Upon releasing the handle, a return spring (58) rotates the cam (38) in an opposite direction lifting it away from slot (40) so as to return the locking means to the free state.

Title: Continuous ultrasonic devulcanization of vulcanized elastomers.
Inventor: ISAYEV AVRAAM
IPC: B06B1/00
Filed: 1993-06-16
Abstract: This invention relates to a continuous ultrasonic method for breaking the carbon-sulfur (C-S), sulfur-sulfur (S-S), and if desired, carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds in a vulcanized elastomer. It is well known that vulcanized elastomers having a three-dimensional chemical network, cannot flow under the effect of heat and/or pressure. This creates a huge problem in the recycling of used tires and other elastomeric products. Through the application of certain levels of ultrasonic amplitudes in the presence of pressure and optionally heat, the three-dimensional network of vulcanized elastomer can be broken down. As a most desirable consequence, ultrasonically treated cured rubber becomes soft, thereby enabling this material to be reprocessed and shaped in a manner similar to that employed with uncured elastomers.
