Abstract: To process television signals and/or sound signals on carriers at the intermediate frequency (ZF), the signals with carrier are digitised (A/D) channel by channel as composite signals. For the transmission in time-division multiplex, the digitised channel signals are converted to the baseband by digital frequency conversion (DFU). After the transmission, individual channels can be reconverted into the digital intermediate-frequency range or converted (DFU1, DFU2, DFUn) into various frequency slots for forming a digital frequency-division multiplex signal which can be fed into a distribution network. The method according to the invention allows a high-quality transmission and/or distribution with reduced complexity, particularly at the receiving end. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fail-safe, precision current-to-pressure converter for providing a regulated pneumatic output pressure proportional to an electrical control current (21) includes a main valve member (4) for regulating the pneumatic output pressure at outlet (3), operation of the valve member (4) being controlled by the pressure of control fluid contained in a chamber (11). The control fluid pressure is controlled by admitting control fluid into the chamber (1) via a continuously pulsed, electromagnetically actuated on/off reed valve (16) and simultaneously allowing control fluid continuously to exhaust to atmosphere via a fixed bleed orifice (17), the rate of admittance of control fluid into the chamber (11) relative to the exhaust rate from the orifice (17) being variable so that the desired, substantially constant output pressure, as dictated by the electrical current input (21) and as measured by a transducer (15) that produces a feed-back signal, will be attained. In the event that the input current (21) fails, the valve (16) remains closed and continued exhaust of control fluid from the chamber (11) causes the control fluid pressure, and therefore the output pressure at (3), to fall to atmospheric pressure, ie the converter fails to "zero" in such event. Because of its relatively simple design, a converter of the invention is somewhat more rugged and less expensive to manufacture than prior I/P converters. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Imbricated or overlapped copies of printed material (10) are formed within a plurality of rows (8) to form a single layer (4) of a multi-layered and cubic-shaped stack (1). The stack (1) allows for more efficient use of space within the storage of printed materials (10), and allows for easier and faster storing and retrieving of the printed materials (10). The apparatus for forming the stack (1) includes a plurality of in-feed conveyors (22) which feed imbricated copy stream segments (8) to a shuttle assembly (41) upon a plurality of side-by-side rows. Once filled, the shuttle assembly (41) is positioned over a flat separator sheet (6) and drops the plurality of rows (8) onto the separator sheet (6), thereby forming a single layer (4). The layer (4) is formed directly upon a stack (1) which is formed upon a pallet (2). The separator sheet (6) of the formed layer (4) is supported by the copy streams (8) which lie below on the preceding separator sheet (6). The resulting stack (1) is cubic-shaped and includes a plurality of layers (4) of a plurality of side-by-side rows of relatively flat and horizontal imbricated copy streams (8) that run the full width of the pallet (2). A method of retrieving the copy streams (8) from the stack (1) to the conveyors (23,24) uses the same apparatus for forming the stack (1) and is substantially the reverse of the method of forming the stack (1).

Abstract: A motion control system for hydraulically operated lifting devices. The system provides for the dynamic weighing of a loaded container by controllably directing hydraulic flow through a bypass chamber of a two-way valve. An analog output signal is generated by a hydraulic pressure transducer fluidly communicating with the two-way valve or by a tensiometer mounted on the arms of the lifting device. The two-way valve further provides a second bypass chamber which receives fluid under gravity from the lift circuit line of the hydraulic cylinder for controllably lowering the lifting device. The pressure transducer or tensiometer generate an analog signal proportionate to the weight being lowered and whereby the hydraulic fluid is returned to the reservoir of the hydraulic system independently and downstream of the main operating valve.

Abstract: A control system for a revolving door includes an ultrasonic sensor having multiple sensor heads. The door has a housing and multiple movable compartments formed by door wings. The sensors emit energy waves into the housing in bursts, then receive echoes from any objects, including people, in the compartments. The sensors are activated when the door is activated by an authorized user. A controller stores a binary "echo" or "no echo" signal in memory in response to an emitted energy wave. The system determines a maximum height of an object or person in a compartment, then measures the total amount of time that it detects something above a selected percentage of the maximum height. When this time reaches a predetermined amount, the system interprets that as "piggybacking" (two individuals in one compartment). The system also interprets signals that go above, drop below, and then rise above the selected percentage again as piggybacking.
