Title: Improvements in receivers for television signals
IPC: H04N21/472
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: A television signal receiver for receiving and storing television signals encoded at a variable data rate.

Title: Network units for use in and organisation of cascade systems
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2003-01-02
Abstract: A multi-port network unit for use in a cascade system of network units sends from a cascade port a packet including a special header having a source port ID, a destination port ID and a 'destination port known' field. The port IDs identify both a unit and a port within a unit. A routing database (25) is set up, optionally by a discovery protocol, in terms of ports and either destination units (within the cascade) or source units (within the cascade). The database includes a mesh table (25a), indicating from which cascade port a packet with a known destination port ID should be forwarded, without needing a fresh look-up. The database also includes a multicast exclusion table (25b) which allows ingress of packets with source unit IDs matched to an ingress port. The scheme allows a general mesh type of cascade while dynamically preventing closed loops.

Title: Vehicle seat belt retractor
IPC: B60R22/36
Filed: 1984-07-05
Abstract: The belt-storage spool 20 of the retractor has mounted on its end face a disc 80 which is rotatable relative to the spool 20 about an axis passing through the centre of mass of the disc. The disc is normally urged into a stationary position relative to the spool by a spring 90 which undergoes a buckling deformation when the disc rotates relative to the spool at spool accelerations at or above a threshold value. This rotation brings a pawl 86 on the disc into engagement with internal ratchet teeth 41 of a lockcup 40 which then rotates with the spool to cause locking of the retractor by engagement of a lockbar 45 with ratchet teeth 25 on the spool. The lockcup 40 is urged into its rest position by a further buckling spring 52. Figures 3 and 4 show modified constructions in which the disc 80 is replaced by elements 100, 120.

Title: Cyclonic froth flotation cell
IPC: B03D1/14
Filed: 1985-07-18
Abstract: A cyclonic froth flotation cell, suitable for use in the separation of minerals comprises concentric inner and outer cyclones (2, 4). A liquid feed containing particles and injected dissolved air is fed tangentially via a conduit (7) into an inlet chamber (7a) below the outer cyclone and in communication with the inner cyclone. On contact with a stator (10), bubbles are generated which form a froth with hydrophobic particles in the feed. The feed passes up through the inner cyclone (2) and the froth is collected at the top of the cell. Exposure of the feed to shear, and hence froth formation, is enhanced either by recycling the feed through the outer cyclone into the inner cyclone, or by increasing shear and circulation within the inner cyclone by the use of flow modification assemblies therein. Residual feed and non-hydrophobic particles are re-covered from the outer cyclone (4) via an outlet (15). <IMAGE>

The guides 14, 16 are mounted on the column 10 by a plurality of elongate bars 20 formed for example of carbon fibre. The bars 20 are so designed as to allow change in relative length between the guide 14 and the column 10 but to retain the guide 14 in a rigid relation to the column 10 in a direction along the axis of each of the bars 20. The guide 16 is mounted on the column 10 by a plurality of pairs of bars 50 similar to the bars 20. Each of the guides 14, 16 is anchored relative to the column 10 at one respective end. A carriage 12 is slidably mounted on the guides 14, 16  by suitable bearings and requires five degrees of restraint and one degree of freedom in the axial direction of the guides 14, 16. The guide 16 offers two degrees of restraint and the guide 14 offers one degree of restraint but, in conjunction with the guide 16 controls rotation about the axis of the latter. A bearing arrangement controls rotation about the other two axes making five restraints in total.
