Title: Modular plug having compensating insert
Inventor: MARTIN RALPH S
IPC: H01R12/55
Filed: 1998-11-19
Abstract: A modular plug electrical connector (10) for terminating a plurality of communications wires (1-8) which are associated as signal pairs (1,2; 7,8; 4,5; 3,6) in a communications system includes a dielectric housing (12) having a cavity (16) and a compensating insert (20) which is mountable in the cavity (16). The compensating insert (20) includes a dielectric substrate (21) which may be flexible and which carries conductive traces (22) arranged to be connected to selected ones of the wires (1-8) by contact pins (24) which may be separate from the traces (22) and drivable through holes in the traces (22) to stake the wires thereto. The traces (22) are routed on the substrate (21) to provide capacitive coupling between selected signal pairs so as to compensate for crosstalk between the signal pairs, thereby reducing crosstalk in the connector.

Title: Cooling panels for blast furnaces
Inventor: MILLER KEITH
IPC: C21B7/10
Filed: 1998-12-08
Abstract: A cooling panel 300 for a blast furnace includes at least one internal passageway 312 for conducting a coolant media and is formed by a casting process including the provision of at least one internal core forming a passageway 312, the material of the core being removed after casting. This allows the internal passageways 312 to be non-linear. The cored cooling channels 312 can also be non-circular in cross-section, a particularly preferred cross-section being trapezoidal as this presents a larger cooling surface than one with a circular cross-section. A trapezoidal cross-section also allows the cooling channel depth to be reduced, in turn reducing the stave body thickness and giving scope for further increases in furnace volume. The staves can be retro-fitted into existing furnaces which have previously employed iron staves. It is preferred that the stave is cast of copper or a copper alloy, but the invention can be applied to the use of other materials.

Title: Improvements relating to the washing of feather filled articles
Inventor: DAVISON WILLIAM GEOFFREY
IPC: D06M19/00
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: The invention which is the subject of this application relates to a method of treating feathers which can be used to form feather filled articles such as pillows, duvets and the like and the feather filled articles themselves. The treatment and selection of the feathers to be used is such that the articles can be washed in hot wash and even boil wash cycles, without the subsequent performance and life of the articles being unduly affected. Thus the advantages of feather filled articles in comparison to those articles which use manmade fibers are obtained and the life of the same are maintained, which is not possible with conventional feather filled articles.

Title: Video wipe signal generator with dual gain key signal
Inventor: GREENWOOD JONATHAN MARK
IPC: H04N5/275
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: A signal generator is used to produce a signal for producing a video wipe effect.

Title: Minimising adjacent channel coupled power interference (ACCP) by assigning radio channels according to received signal strength
Inventor: MARSAN MARK J
IPC: H04W72/08
Filed: 1999-11-17
Abstract: A radio communication system assigns use of a radio frequency communication resource 400 comprising multiple communication channels 411-466 in a way that minimises the likelihood that a weakly received signal will be interfered with by a strongly received signal in an adjacent communication channel. The communication system determines a signal strength of a signal received from a user of the communication resource and based on the signal strength determination, assigns the user at least one of the communication channels available. Preferably, at least one threshold value is defined and a first channel is assigned if the received signal strength is less than the threshold value and a second channel is assigned if the signal strength is equal to or greater than the first threshold value. Preferably, the communication resource 400 comprises a plurality of frequencies 401-406 each comprising a plurality of time slots 411-466, where the communication channel is a single time slot and there are defined sets 1-6 of concurrently transmitted timeslots each set being designated for particular strengths of received signal. Thus signals with differing strengths are preferably assigned to non-concurrent time slots. Further, if none of the slots from the appropriate set are available, a slot from another set may be assigned depending on its frequency separation from slots already assigned in its set or further depending on a level of signal interference in the slot. Additionally, a channel may be re-assigned if a signal strength comparison indicates an undesirable change in the signal strength.

Title: Combustion test apparatus
Inventor: TANNO TOMIO
IPC: G01N25/00
Filed: 1978-01-31
Abstract: PURPOSE: To make up combustion stituations corresponding to the reality and obtain test results useful in real fire or similar circumstances, by providing a heating furnace for combustion test of the specimens, and an unstable speed air feed device which communicates with the inside of this heating furnace.  
     CONSTITUTION: Due to operation of air feed pump 10, constant speed wind is sent into a heating furnace main body 4 through an air feed pipe 9. Part of the exhaust air of the air feed pump 10 is collected in a pressure accumulation tank 11. When the pressure in the tank exceeds a certain value, a regulating valve 12 opens, so that high speed wind is sent into the heating furnace main body 4 for a short time through an air feed pipe 8, thereby lowering the pressure in the pressure accumulation tank 11. Then the pressure regulating valve 12 closes, and the pressure in the tank is again built up by the air feed pump 10. Thus, periodical unstable speed wind is supplied into the heating furnace 1. By measuring the ignition timing and the time to ignition of the specimen 7 under the four different conditions of the temperature of the main body 4 by heater 5, constant speed wind period, unstable speed wind period, and maximum and minumum temperature, the combustibility of the specimen 7 may be evaluated.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To produce a thin-walled container suitably used as a container for food and having a uniform thickness, a large depth and a high thermal resistance, by subjecting a sheet material to a compressed air molding with an auxiliary plug having an improved shape with respect to a female mold. CONSTITUTION:A preheated sheet 1 which is fixed at its circumferential portion by chucks 9 is drawn into a female mold 2 by downward movements of a plug 5 and a molding box 3. When the plug 5 has been moved to a limit depth, substantially the whole of the inner surface of the preheated sheet 1 contacts the outer surface of the plug 5. The thickness of the sheet 1 drawn into the female mold 2 is gradually decreased from that portion of the sheet 1 which is in contact with a front portion of the plug 5 to that portion of the sheet 1 which is in contact with a rear end portion of the plug 5. After the sheet 1 has been tightly held at its circumferential portion between the molding box 3 and female mold 2, compressed air is supplied into the molding box 3 to mold the sheet 1 onto the surface of the female mold 2.
