Title: Electronic musical instrument
Inventor: KASHIO TOSHIO
IPC: G10H1/057
Filed: 1979-03-14
Abstract: An electronic musical instrument produces a plurality of sound waves, by a time sharing process, for a note played whereby to obtain an ensemble effect. This is achieved using a timing signal generator (103) for multiple performance and a multiple performance indication switch (W) which has a plurality of positions indicating no multiple performance, duet performance and quartet performance. Depending on the position of the switch (W) a musical sound wave is generated in one or more channels in response to allocation of the same note to said channel or channels. <IMAGE>

Title: Space heater
IPC: F24H3/06
Filed: 1982-05-05
Abstract: A space heater comprises a combustion chamber 11 and heat exchanger boxes 12 which are formed from flat metal plates and interconnected by pipes 14. Air is forced by a fan 5 over the lower surfaces of the combustion chamber 11 and then between the combustion chamber 11 and the heat exchanger boxes 12 and between the heat exchanger boxes 12 and deflecting plates 6 before emerging through outlets 7. The combustion gases travel along the combustion chamber 11 in a first direction away from a burner mounting 11a. The gases then travel in a second direction opposite to the first and then travel along the heat exchange boxes 12 in the first direction. In one embodiment the travel in the second direction is along the heat exchange boxes 12 which are divided into two portions by internal baffles 15. In another embodiment the travel in the second direction is along the combustion chamber 11. The gases exit through a flue 10. <IMAGE>

Title: Methods of joining together optical fibres
Inventor: TANAKA CHIHAYA
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 1982-07-23
Abstract: A protective coating 4 and a reinforcing layer 3 are successively removed from the ends of two coated optical fibres 1 to expose glass fibres 2 and 2', and these fibres are then joined together by melt-splicing. Thereafter, a reinforcing layer 7 (Fig. 3) is moulded around the connection so as to have an outer diameter approximately equal to that of the reinforcing layers 3, and a protective coating 10 (Fig. 4) is formed around the layer 7 so as to have an outer diameter approximately to that of the protective coatings 4. The layer 7 is formed of a material which is the same as the material of the layers 3 or which is chemically compatible with and bondable to the layers 3. The same is true of the material of the protective coating 10 and the protective coatings 4. In an alternative embodiment, the protective coating 4 is omitted from the initial fibres to be joined, and an overall protective coating is applied to the fibres after their connection. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and plant for packing poultry individually in bags
Inventor: LOTH KJELD
IPC: G01G19/00
Filed: 1982-06-30
Abstract: By a method and an apparatus for individual packing of poultry in bags, the poultry bodies are suspended by their legs and the bodies (2) are weighed (5) while being advanced individually to the packing station and thereafter placed mechanically at the packing station in bags (7) on which the weight or category of weight of the piece of poultry (2) in question is indicated. After having been advanced with a mutual distance from body to body, a predetermined number of poultry bodies are gathered at the packing station on the conveyor path (1) aligned in a group (8). Said group of bodies is removed (11, 12) in the lump from the conveyor path (1) by means of one seizing member (12) per body and said bodies are advanced by means of the seizing members (12) to a position opposite their particular packing device (9) where the bodies are transferred by the seizing members (15) to their respective packing device (9). At the same time and concurrently with the weighing a bag (7) is placed at each packing device (9), said bag being provided with an indication of weight corresponding to the weight of the piece of poultry in question ascertained by the weighing, whereafter the bodies are packed in their individual bags (7) by means of the packing devices (9) and the bags (7) are sealed. Thus, the entire packing process is managed positively by machinery in that the grasp of the poultry body is not released until, after having been removed from the conveyor path, it is completely packed in the bag. The gathering of bodies aligned in a group and the removal of said group in the lump from the conveyor path for jointly packing involves that the total packing process comprising transfer from cooling, weighing and packing in bags assumes the character of a continuous process. It will practically require the same time for packing all bodies, and the time in which the bodies are in contact with the atmosphere will only be short.

Title: Fabrication of semiconductor devices
Inventor: MORGAN RUSSELL ALAN
IPC: G03F7/075
Filed: 1985-02-13
Abstract: The resistance of photoresists to plasma etching is increased by introducing silicon into the photoresist. Silicon may be introduced into a conventional photoresist after it has been deposited on a semiconductor wafer, or the photoresist may be made from materials containing silicon. Silicon may be introduced into deposited novolac resin by exposure to an atmosphere of tetrachlorosilane or tetramethylsilane; silicon substituting for non-sterically hindered active hydrogens. The silicon thus introduced can cross-link to form an SiO matrix. Such photoresists have particular application to the etching of polyimide using an oxygen plasma.
Patent GB-2155722-A (GB)
Title: Optical apparatus
Inventor: ACKROYD JOHN
IPC: G01S3/786
Filed: 1985-02-20
Abstract: Optical trackers of the kind which are used as position detectors and which incorporate Fourier transform filters 6, 7 matched to an object 1, 2 to be detected within a field-of-view, e.g. a target 2, indicate the position of object within the field-of-view if it is present as the position of a spot of light in the correlation plane 8 of the tracking system. However, positional errors may be introduced due to inaccuracies in the alignment of the filter axis and the reconstruction lens used to provide the output and absolute positions cannot be obtained. The invention described herein uses a Fourier transform filter 6 matched to two objects which may appear together in a given field-of-view e.g. missile and target, the presence of both objects in the field-of-view being indicated as two spots of light in the correlation plane of the tracker, the relative positions of which being equivalent to the relative positions of the two objects within the field-of-view, which is preceded by a device 4 which spatially modulates the incoming incoherent light onto a laser beam. <IMAGE>

Title: Communications system
Inventor: SHARPE ANTHONY KEITH
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1985-08-28
Abstract: A mobile communications system which makes use of the existing paging network and public switched telephone network (PSTN). The system utilises a plurality of strategically placed fixed stations (FSI to FSn) for cordless telephones and connected to the PSTN (11). System subscribers have cordless telephones (CT1 to CT4) which are operatively linked to the PSTN via the fixed stations. Each cordless telephone (CT1 to CT4) has a message pager which is capable of receiving paging messages transmitted by the paging network transmitters (P1 to P3). A base station (10) includes paging computers and control equipment. A call to a cordless telephone is initiated by a paging signal giving the calling subscriber's number and the cordless telephone establishes a radio link with an in-range fixed station, wherever it is in the geographical area, and calls back to the initiating subscriber. The radio link with fixed station has to be maintained for the duration of the call because there is no provision for handing-off as in a MATS. Call charging may be related to the rate of discharge, which rate may vary with call type, of at least one battery in the cordless telephone (CT1 to CT4). <IMAGE>
