Patent GB-2325888-A (GB)
Title: Printing plate
Inventor: WATKISS PHILIP JOHN
IPC: G03F7/00
Filed: 1998-06-03
Abstract: A lithographic printing plate precursor comprises a grained and anodised aluminium substrate coated with a layer of metallic silver on top of which is applied a composition comprising an oleophilising agent and a proteolytic enzyme. Imagewise exposure of the precursor by means of a high intensity laser beam causes removal of the metallic and top layers in the exposed areas and allows for the direct provision of press ready plates showing excellent start-up and clean-up properties on press and providing high image quality and high printing durability without the requirement for the use of intermediate film and developer chemistry. Specified agents are mercapto compounds and cationic surfactants and a desensitiser such as gum arabic or dextrin or a polyphosphate may also be present.

Title: Method and apparatus for tuning channels for CATV and television applications
Inventor: DANG NAM V
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1997-12-09
Abstract: A method of tuning channels for television and community antenna television (CATV) devices includes the step of receiving a radio frequency input (RFI) signal having at least one carrier signal at frequency f s  associated with a selected broadcast channel. The RFI signal is up-converted by m to a first intermediate frequency wherein the carrier signal is located at f s + m. The first intermediate frequency is filtered. The filtered first intermediate frequency is down-converted by n to a second intermediate frequency wherein the second intermediate frequency includes the carrier signal at f s  + m- n. Additional methods for improving the reception of the selected channel include the step of varying m and n in order to avoid frequency-dependent anomalies within the pass band of the filter. For digital communications, m and n are varied in accordance with an error rate of the digital communications in order to reduce the error rate of the digital communications.

Title: A variable gain transconductance amplifier suitable for use in a mixer
Inventor: MADNI ARSHAD
IPC: H03G1/00
Filed: 1999-06-10
Abstract: A variable transconductance amplifier comprises transistors T1 and T2 whose emitters are connected via resistors R1 and R2 to a constant current source CC1 to form a differential or long tail pair. A feedback amplifier 7, 8 whose transconductance is controllable has inputs connected to the collectors of the transistors T1 and T2 and outputs connected to the emitters thereof. The feedback amplifier 7, 8 thus supplies a differential current to the emitters of the transistors T1 and T2 which corresponds to the product of the differential output signal of the transistors T1 and T2 and the variable transconductance of the feedback amplifier 7, 8. The arrangement is said to improve the noise figure. Use in a mixer (eg a Gilbert mixer) (fig 4) is described. T1 and T2 and other transistors may be replaced by FETs.
Patent GB-2344772-A (GB)
Title: Method to desulphurise a NOx trap
Inventor: SCHUERZ WILLIBALD
IPC: F01N3/08
Filed: 1999-11-04
Abstract: A method for removing sulphur species from a NO<SB>x</SB> storage catalytic converter ('NO<SB>x</SB> trap') for an internal combustion engine which has been poisoned by SO<SB>x</SB>. Regulator 221 switches the engine to a rich burn mode to effect desulphurisation of the NO<SB>x</SB> trap 18 in response to signals from a binary oxygen sensor 21 downstream of the NO<SB>x</SB> trap. In ordinary use the NO<SB>x</SB> trap is subject to known alternating lean burn (absorption) and rich burn (reduction/desorption) phases. Sulphur species absorbed by the trap are more thermally stable and require a higher temperature regime to be reduced/desorbed. By using an O  Þ   sensor to regulate the rich burn phase, the production of H  Þ  S (caused by excess H  Þ  ) is minimised.

Patent JP-S61171035-A (JP)
Title: Image display device
Inventor: SAEKI KIYOSHI
IPC: H01J29/04
Filed: 1985-01-23
Abstract: PURPOSE:To make a stable image, by securing linear cathodes with cylindrical inorganic pipes to a support to enhance an anti-vibrating effect against resonance and external vibration. CONSTITUTION:Linear cathodes 11 are secured with cylindrical pipes 16 of an inorganic material such as quartz glass to a support 12 so that the vibrative energy of each linear cathode is changed into friction between the cathode and the cylindrical pipe and structural damping energy in the pipe. As a result, the amplitude of the linear cathode 11, which would be + or -20-200mum under resonance, is reduced to + or -20mum or less. The shake of an image and the irregularity of its luminosity are thus decreased greatly. The decrease does not fall with the lapse of time. Therefore, the image of high quality is made with high reliability.
