Title: Glass or glass ceramics as a material for fluorescent solar collectors
Inventor: GEILER VOLKER
IPC: F24S23/00
Filed: 1984-02-13
Abstract: A material suitable for a fluorescent solar collector, comprises glass or glass ceramics containing Yb<3+> activating ions and/or Nd<3+> and also Cr<3+> ions. This combination of activating ions causes the fluorescent solar collector to absorb strongly in the spectral region between 400 nm and about 800nm, and fluoresce most strongly in the spectral region between 800 and 1100 nm, i.e., in the region in which the solar collector photocells at the edge of the fluorescent solar collector plate have maximum sensitivity.

Title: Digital computer memory
Inventor: STEVELY WILLIAM
IPC: G06F12/06
Filed: 1984-03-07
Abstract: A digital computer memory comprises two complementary memory blocks, namely 16K of core memory, 10, and 48K of non-volatile electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), 11. The core section provides a fast read/write resource for operational working space, whilst the non-volatile EEPROM section provides for high density storage of programme instructions and data with fast read facility consistent with RAM operation. This combination resolves the problem of obtaining high density non-volatile RAM, based on the observation inter alia of memory partitioning to the effect that working space requirement rarely exceeds a maximum of the order of 32K in many applications demanding limited physical size, whereas the need for programme and data space continually grows. Relatively long cycle times are used for addressing the semiconductor memory block for writing thereto and relatively short cycle times are used for reading from either block. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2184305-A (GB)
Title: Propeller speed and phase sensor
Inventor: COLLOPY PAUL DENNIS
IPC: G01P3/489
Filed: 1986-11-14
Abstract: A speed and phase sensor for counterrotating aircraft propellers is described. A toothed wheel is attached to each propeller, and the teeth trigger a sensor as they pass, producing a sequence of signals. From the sequence of signals, the rotational speed of each propeller is computed, based on the time intervals between successive signals. The speed can be computed several times during one revolution, thus giving speed information which is highly up-to-date. Given that the spacing between teeth, or their shape or composition may not be uniform, the signals produced may be nonuniform in time. On the basis of an ideal period, computed from the period for a whole rotation and the number of teeth, error coefficients are derived to correct for nonuniformities in the resulting signals, thus allowing accurate speed to be computed. Phase can be viewed as the relative rotational position of one propeller with respect to the other, but measured at a fixed time. The invention computes phase from the signals. <IMAGE>
