Title: Apparatus for torque measurement on rotating shafts
Inventor: SMITH FRANTZ KARSTEN
IPC: G01L3/10
Filed: 1995-09-21
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NO95/00170 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 26, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 26, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 21, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/10167 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 4, 1996Apparatus intended for measuring the torque of rotating shafts for the purpose of calculating the shaft power without using sensors mounted or glued to the shaft. The long time accuracy is increased by using only one single optical electronic sensor in the pulse receiver. Alteration of sensor data due to temperature variations and aging do not affect the accuracy. The light is transmitted from the source/transmitter through optical fibre. The light beam is pulsed in two air gaps by coding discs/gearwheels mounted to the shaft at a convenient distance from each other (16 and 21). The light is transmitted by optical fibres (24a, 24b) from the source/transmitter (45) and via the optical U-shaped elements (39, 40) where the light beams are pulsed and added in the light collector (32). The time displacement between the vanes/teeth on the two discs/gearwheels is a measure on the shaft torque, enabling the shaft power to be calculated in the computer (50). To increase the accuracy in case of shaft vibrations, the width modulated pulses are accumulated and averaged at convenient numbers of shaft turns. The accuracy is increased by detecting both rising and falling pulse edges in order to double the number of pulses each shaft turn.

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for forming a cased glass stream having an inner core glass surrounded by an outer casing glass includes a spout (13) for receiving core glass from a first source (12) and delivering such glass through a first orifice (22). A second orifice (28) is vertically spaced beneath and aligned with the first orifice, and is surrounded by an annular chamber (30) that communicates with the second orifice through the gap between the first and second orifices. A tube (32) delivers casing glass from a second source (40) to the annular chamber in such a way that glass flows by gravity from the first and second sources through the orifices to form the cased glass stream. The core glass delivery spout includes a reservoir (12) for receiving and holding the core glass, and having at least one lower opening (16) of a first diameter. An orifice ring (24) is positioned beneath the reservoir, and has at least one opening of second diameter less than the first diameter aligned with the first opening and forming the first orifice (22). A collar of uniform inside diameter equal to the first diameter extends from the first opening to the orifice ring, and thereby spaces the reservoir from the orifice ring so as to increase hydrostatic head pressure on glass flowing from the reservoir through the first orifice. The core glass reservoir is surrounded by a metal casing (18), and the casing glass delivery tube extends through a notch in the sidewall of the core glass casing. An air-cooled liner controls heat transfer from the casing glass delivery tube to the core glass reservoir. <IMAGE>

Title: Interactive language learning system
Inventor: WILLETTS JOHN A
IPC: G09B19/06
Filed: 1990-01-26
Abstract: An interactive computer assisted language learning system which allows a student to select a model phrase from text displayed on an electronic display; record (in digitized form) his own pronunciation of that phrase; and instantly listen to the digitized vocal version of the selected phrase and his own recorded pronunciation for comparison purposes. An audio CLIP mode permits the student to select any (random) portion of displayed text (e.g., a phrase, a small part of a phrase, a single word, a syllable, or a phoneme) using cursor control or the like and to control the system to play the voice corresponding to that selected portion. A SoundSort text reconstruction exercise based on aural clues automatically randomizes the order of plural phrases, provides digitized utterances of the phrases in the randomized order, and requires the student to reconstruct the original order using a visual display interface. Integration of digitized sound in a high-level authoring system (as distinct from an authoring language) is provided. An easy-to-use "WYSIWYG" ("What you see is what you get") user interface reduces or eliminates user mistakes and associated frustration and does not require the user to have any programming ability. An extremely flexible authoring system allows a teacher to link recorded digitized sound with customized on-screen text (which may but need not match the digitized sound). This allows a wide variety of free-form exercises to be created.

Title: Method and apparatus for broadcasting system information in a cellular communications network
Inventor: RIMHAGEN THOMAS
IPC: H04W8/18
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: In a cellular telecommunications system or network, tags are associated with one or more system control parameters. For example, a given tag value may be indicative of particular values for one or more system information parameters. In each cell, a base station (BS) transmits or broadcasts currently valid tag values. System information blocks including the system information parameters themselves (which correspond to particular tag(s)) are also broadcast by base stations. A mobile station receiving a valid tag value from a base station determines whether or not it has to read system information block(s) corresponding to that tag value depending upon whether the base station has already stored or cached such block(s) corresponding to the tag value. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, different embodiments of the instant invention may result in the mobile station not having to re-read identical system information each time it changes cells, or while moving in the same cell. This may conserve radio resources and reduce battery consumption, thereby improving standby time of the mobile station.
