Patent GB-2228277-A (GB)
Title: Lightweight decking member for staging
Inventor: HARRIS BENJAMIN JAMES
IPC: F16B5/00
Filed: 1989-01-31
Abstract: Pairs of extrusions 1, 2 have complementary ribs 8 and recesses 18. The side faces 20, 21 of each recess diverge outwardly at an angle which substantially matches that of the side walls 9, 10 of the rib 8. When the rib 8 is received in the recess there is a small gap 23 between the end wall 11 of the rib and the bottom wall 16, 17 of the recess. A continuous bead of a vinyl oxirane adhesive is applied along the centre of each recess 18 and the rib 8 is urged into the recess so that the adhesive spreads along the gap 23. The wedging action of the rib prevents much of the adhesive from passing between the rib and the divergent walls of the recess and allows a reliable bond to be achieved despite variations in manufacturing tolerances of the extrusions. <IMAGE>

Title: Incontinence pants
Inventor: CLEMSON LORRAINE
IPC: A41B9/00
Filed: 1989-05-15
Abstract: A pair of pants has means for retaining an absorbant. The pants may have an opening (18) in the crotch area of a shape to bound all of a person's lower bodily openings. A cover (20) of a waterproof material is provided on the outside of the pants to cover the opening (18) and is in the form of an open-ended sleeve wherein the absorbant can be inserted and retained so as to be exposed internally of the pants. Alternatively, an opening (18) is not provided and an additional piece of material is provided internally of the pants in the crotch area and has an opening therein bounding all lower bodily openings and receiving the absorbant. When the pad is soiled, the body material of the pants need not become soiled and thus only the absorbant will require changing, with the pants being re-used. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-892124-A (GB)
Abstract: 892,124. Synchronous motors. SUNBEAM CORPORATION. Sept. 15, 1958 [Oct. 7, 1957], No. 29515/58. Class 35. [Also in Group XVIII] In an electric alarm clock (see Group XVIII), the driving synchronous motor is of the single - phase shaded pole-type and has a winding 35, Figs. 3 and 5, and a laminated stator 37 with polepieces 38, 39. The two-part rotor 41a, 41b, Figs. 3 and 4, and the associated gear train 47 are housed in a sealed casing 50 preferably of non-magnetic material. A protuberance 60a in the front wall 60 of the casing 50 allows axial movement of the rotor shaft 46 so that the rotor may align itself correctly in the magnetic field. A felt pad 85 prevents the lubricating oil in the casing 50 from remaining in the casing part 50a containing the rotor. The effective air gap between the rotor and the pole faces is within the range of 12- 20 thousandths of an inch.

Title: Shadow mask for colour cathode ray tube
Inventor: AN MIN-HO
IPC: H01J9/227
Filed: 1989-11-23
Abstract: A shadow mask 1, having a mixture of different aperture shapes is disclosed, wherein at least either pin cushion type apertures 3 or drum type apertures 4 are mixed with slit type apertures 2. When the shadow mask is used as an exposing mask for screen manufacture, the pin cushion type apertures are formed at the portions where decreased amounts of light beams are required, and the drum type apertures are formed at the portions where increased amounts of light beams are required. Further, the maximum width of the pin cushion type apertures is almost the same as the width of the slit type apertures, while the minimum width of the drum type apertures is almost the same as the width of the slit type apertures. By this arrangement the photo sensitivity differences between the exposed portions of the whole panel are reduced, and so, black matrix formation becomes uniform. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for monitoring optical sensors
Inventor: KAWAKAMI MORIATSU
IPC: G05F1/625
Filed: 1990-01-23
Abstract: In a system in which light from a light emitting element is detected by a light receiving element to determine whether the output level of said light receiving element exceeds a certain threshold, e.g. in an automatic cash receiving and dispensing machine, the light emitting element is switchable between a bright mode and a darker mode so selected that initially tee outputs L1, L2 of the receiver are both above a threshold V3 in the absence of any interruption in the light path (complete interruption giving L0). Should L2 subsequently fall below V3, as at t7 - t8, due to changes in the characteristics of the emitter or receiver, or to the presence of dust, for example. an alarm signal is produced <IMAGE>

Title: Monitoring the consumption of electrical energy
Inventor: HALDER MATHIS
IPC: G01R21/133
Filed: 1990-07-31
Abstract: A single electricity meter (1) measures the consumption of energy of a plurality of consumers (V1 to V4 ) and a pulse generator (3) produces pulses at a rate proportional to the total power consumed (P Fig 2). When a consumer (V1 to V4) is switched on and off, the pulse rate performs a jump which is proportional to the power of the consumer, and processing apparatus (2) detects which consumer is involved and registers the switched-on time of the consumer. After the expiry of a measurement period, the energy consumption is calculated (2) for each consumer and can be called up to a display (9 Fig 3 not shown). <IMAGE>

Title: Filter system for sub-band coding
Inventor: WILKINSON JAMES HEDLEY
IPC: H03H17/00
Filed: 1991-07-22
Abstract: A filter system for sub-band coding includes a pair of matched half-band linear phase FIR decimation and interpolation filters, wherein the decimation filter has predetermined integer tap coefficients and the interpolation filter has at least one pair of taps more than the decimation filter and provides perfect reconstruction. The tap coefficients of the matching interpolation filter are defined by iteratively solving a set of simultaneous equations derived from the zero terms of a half-band filter formed by the convolution of the decimation filter and the interpolation filter. The filter system provides for perfect reconstruction and linear phase. Improved roll-off and alias rejection characteristics are achieved for an interpolation filter not having a tap sum equal to a power of two and with at least two pairs of taps more than the decimation filter. Applications may be in video recording, processing. <IMAGE>
