Abstract: In a frequency response analyser capable of testing a system under test at a higher frequency F derived from a signal generator providing a relatively higher frequency F/K. A reference signal of frequency F-C is supplied to a mixer where it is multiplied with the return signal of frequency F to provide a fixed frequency output C. An analysing portion of the frequency response analyser is therefore required to operate only at this fixed frequency C and may provide an output in any suitable form, for example displays of magnitude and phase against frequency as F/K is varied. 
     The present invention overcomes the problem of providing a VCO based signal generator capable of operation at very low frequencies.

Abstract: A continuous wave (CW) leaky cable sensor for an intrusion detector is comprised of a pair of elongated parallel cables, one for establishing an RF field and the other for receiving the field. A modulator is connected at an intermediate location of the receiving (or transmitting) cable, subdividing a detection zone into detection regions on each side of the modulator. The modulator selectively modifies a signal received by a portion of the receive cable connected to its input. By processing the signal at the output of the receive cable the detection region for either side of the modulator in which an intrusion has occurred can be determined. The resolution of a CW sensor is thus increased at low cost. Multiple modulators can be used at spaced locations increasing the number of detection regions, and thus the resolution.

Abstract: In order to achieve high rates of application, use is made of an arc-spraying installation which makes it possible for large workpieces, such as rolls, shafts and containers, to be provided in a cost-effective fashion with high-quality protective layers resistant to wear and corrosion by means of thermal spraying. The arc-spraying installation is fitted with two separately controllable nozzles (4, 5), which generate ultrasonic flows. Highly compressed air and/or inert and active gases, as well as gas mixtures, can be used as atomising gas. In order to increase the flow velocity of the atomising gas, the latter is preferably preheated by means of electrically heated heat exchangers (18). In order to convey wires with low wear, the contact nozzles (4, 5) are provided inside with steel or bronze springs (16), and cooled inside by a gas flow which is independent of the atomising gas, or by other fluids. The wire-conveying device (19, 20) is infinitely adjustable with regard to the contact pressure so that the spraying wires (9, 10) can be conveyed without difficulty. In order to achieve a stable arc, the wire feed is controlled via servomotors independently for the two wires (9, 10) and the position of the contact nozzles (4, 5) is controlled separately for each contact nozzle. The length and/or the geometrical shape of the arc (12), expressed in terms of the voltage influenced hereby and/or of the current, is used as a measure of this control. It is also possible to use a transmitted arc in order to preheat the workpiece to be coated and to carry out arc spraying. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of detecting and correcting an error in a string of information signals. When each information signal represents a word, the method detects and corrects spelling errors. The method detects and corrects an error which is a properly spelled word, but which is the wrong (not intended) word. For example, the method is capable of detecting and correcting a misspelling of "HORSE" as "HOUSE" 
     In the spelling error detection and correction method, a first word in an input string of words is changed to form a second word different from a first word to form a candidate string of words. The spellings of the first word and the second word are in the spelling dictionary. The probability of occurrence of the input string of words is compared to the product of the probability of occurrence of the candidate string of words multiplied by the probability of misrepresenting the candidate string of words as the input string of words. If the former is greater than or equal to the latter, no correction is made. If the former is less than the latter, the candidate string of words is selected as a spelling correction.
