Title: Colored fibers having resistance to ozone fading
Inventor: HOYT MATTHEW B
IPC: D05C17/02
Filed: 1999-08-23
Granted: 2003-06-26
Abstract: An ozone fade resistant dyed carpet made of dyed sheath/core face fibers has a sheath substantially or completely covering the core. The sheath is composed of a fiber-forming polymer which is inherently chemically compatible and is selected from polymers that are resistant to dye migration and yet inherently chemically compatible with the core polymer. The face fibers are dyed with at least one acid dye, basic dye or disperse dye and resist ozone fading as indicated by a CIEL*a*b* total color difference from the original unexposed sample after at least 3 cycles of ozone fading that is less than one-half of the CIEL*a*b* total color difference seen for a fiber composed substantially completely of said core polyamide component that is dyed with the same dyes. The fibers may be cabled and heatset in which case even more substantial improvement in the ozone fastness is observed. <IMAGE>

Title: Testing coins
Inventor: DEAN ROBERT
IPC: G08B1/08
Filed: 1986-03-20
Granted: 1987-04-02
Abstract: A coin testing apparatus comprises transmitting and receiving coils (14) and (15) on opposite sides of a coin passageway (11). The transmitting coil is connected to high and low frequency oscillators (16) and (17). The output of the receiving coil is separated into the high and low frequency components by a high pass filter (21) and a band pass filter (22). In the high frequency channel the signal is amplitude controlled by a voltage controlled amplifier (23) rectified by a rectifier (24) and smoothed by a long time-constant circuit (26). The initial rise in level caused by a coin entering between the coils (14) and (15) is detected by an instantaneous level change comparator (32) which responds to the rate of change of signal level at the output of the long time-constant circuit (26) becoming equal to preset threshold and causes a normally closed switch (27) to be opened. When the switch (27) is closed a comparator (31) compares the signal with a reference value from a source (30) and adjusts the gain of the amplifier (23) until the signal corresponds to the reference value. Upon the arrival of the coin the switch (27) is opened and a long time-constant circuit (28) causes the gain of the amplifier (23) to be maintained at the level before the arrival of the coin. A window comparator (33) compares the difference in voltage with voltage ranges for acceptable coins. A similar arrangement is provided in the low frequency channel but with two differences. The switch (27) in the low frequency channel is operated by the same instantaneous level comparator as is used for the high frequency channel and instead of a rectifier (24) a novel sample and hold technique is used for providing a d.c. signal from the output of the amplifier (23).
