Title: High speed transmission of binary data over an fm communications system
IPC: H04L27/10
Filed: 1978-08-10
Abstract: A modem data transmission system includes a transmitter section (3, 4) employing a limiter-integrator 8 for limiting integration to only the first bit of each sequence of similar polarity bits in the input binary data of NRZ form so that a signal with three possible slopes (Fig. 2B not shown) results which is processed by an arrangements including pre-emphasis to derive a transmission signal with three states of frequency deviation (+, 0,-).

Title: Instrument for measuring electrical energy
Inventor: GIBBONS DAVID JOHN
IPC: G01R5/30
Filed: 1982-09-02
Abstract: An instrument comprises a sheet 1 of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) coated on its upper surface with optically reflective and electrically conductive strip electrodes, 2 to 5, and on its lower surface with an electrically conductive back electrode 6. A grating 7 is held substantially parallel to reflective strip electrodes, 2 to 5, so that an image of grating 7 is formed thereby. Light emitting from a light emitting diode 8 therefore forms a pattern of moire fringes in plane 10, when reflected by strip electrodes, 2 to 5. A D.C. potential is applied to the sheet 1. When an unknown voltage is applied to the sheet 1, a deflection 15 occurs, which causes movement of the moire fringes. A servomechanism adjusts the D.C. potential to counteract the deflection, so that the adjusted potential is substantially equal to the unknown voltage <IMAGE>
