Patent GB-2117222-A (GB)
Title: Freezing a liquid
Inventor: GIBSON PETER HAROLD
IPC: A23C13/08
Filed: 1983-02-10
Abstract: A continuous, pulsating stream of liquid (e.g., cream) is dispensed from nozzles 12 onto a stream of liquefied gas flowing along downwardly inclined channels provided by a trough 22. The liquid forms itself into discrete bodies, a substantial number of which have a larger cross-sectional area than that defined by the outlet of each nozzle from which they are dispensed. The bodies are carried by the liquefied gas along the channels and at least their peripheries are frozen by the time the bodies reach the downstream end of the channels. The bodies then fall into a rotary drum 28 having slots 30 formed therein to separate the liquefied gas from the bodies. A screw 46 propels the frozen bodies to an outlet 48 leading to a collection device 50. The liquefied gas operated from the bodies is collected in a sump 34 and returned by rotary buckets 70 from the sump 34 to a reservoir 18 which supplies the trough 22 with liquefied gas. <IMAGE>

Title: Casting apparatus
Inventor: MORITANI TORU
IPC: B23K7/06
Filed: 1983-08-08
Abstract: Casting apparatus is described for use in a method of casting and working a cylindrical body. Empty moulds (2) pass in succession to the casting station (B) where each in turn is filled. Initially each is raised, as shown, and load cells (7) associated with hydraulic cylinders (6) connected to the mould support platform pass mould tare weight data to the computer unit (5) where the data is converted to a value for mould height. During mould filling the measured change in mould weight is used to regulate pouring from the ladle (8) and to lower the mould support platform. Molten steel is poured through port (9) to mould (2). Port (9) is controlled by stopper (11), raised and lowered by cylinder (12) controlled by unit (5). Filled moulds are passed slowly to scarfing section (D). <IMAGE>

Title: Detection means for mud pulse telemetry system
Inventor: YEO DAVID E
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 1984-03-23
Abstract: Information is conveyed from a downhole location within wellbore being drilled by producing pressure and velocity of flow variations from the steady state drilling fluid pressure and velocity of flow so as to get up transient acoustic waves that propagate to the surface through the drilling fluid within the drill string, and a simple and reliable method of recovering the propagated information is to monitor at 88 the pressure of the gas filled side 70 of the accumulator or dessurger device that is coupled to the drilling fluid line adjacent the pump. Alternatively the height variations of fluid in a stand pipe may be used to recover the information. <IMAGE>

Title: Circuit arrangement for reducing cross modulation distortion in low frequency chrominance signal
Inventor: OMOTO TOSHIHIRO
IPC: H04N9/87
Filed: 1986-05-21
Abstract: In a low frequency chrominance signal processing circuit used in color - under heterodyne system of a video tape recorder, video disc player or the like, a comb filter 13 is employed for emphasizing a frequency component 2fs which is twice the chrominance subcarrier frequency in the low frequency chrominance signal. According to one embodiment, the output signal from the comb filter is fed via a limiter 14 to a subtractor 15 which is also responsive to the low frequency chrominance signal so that an output signal from the limiter 14 viz. low amplitude distortion is subtracted from the low frequency chrominance signal. In another embodiment (Fig. 3), an output signal of a delay circuit (11) included in the comb filter (13) is subtracted from the low frequency chrominance signal in a subtractor (16), while the output signal from the comb filter (13) is fed via a slicer (17) to an adder (19) which is also responsive to an output signal from the subtractor (16) to add these signals to each other. With this arrangement cross modulation distortion components, i.e. 2fs, are effectively reduced to prevent undesirable ringing in a reproduced picture. <IMAGE>
