Abstract: A continuous process for the manufacture of a fibrous material from a polyolefin. The process comprises feeding a solution of polyolefin dissolved in an organic solvent at elevated temperature and pressure to a spinneret (5). The exit of the spinneret is the inlet to an elongated vertical tube (12) and is located in an upper section of an elongated vertical vessel (1). The tube extends for a major portion of the length of the vessel. Solvent is removed from an upper section of the vessel and water is sprayed both down the tube (14) and into the vessel (13). The strands thus formed (20) are shredded in a self-cleaning self-feeding shredder (4) located at the bottom of the vessel. The shredded fibres and water are conveyed to a second vessel (2) having a baffle (16) located between the inlet (25) and outlet (24) thereof such that the shredded fibrous material passes from the inlet, over the baffle and to the outlet of the second vessel, the upper lip of the baffle being so that the level of water in the second vessel is in substantially the same horizontal plane as the shredder. An inert gas e.g. steam, is fed (23) to the second vessel to effect removal of volatile matter. The shredded fibres and liquid passing from the second vessel are fed to a dewatering device (3). The process may be used to manufacture fibrous polyolefin products e.g. in the form of a pulp. The preferred polyolefin is a high molecular weight homopolymer of ethylene or copolymer of ethylene and at least one C₄-C₁₀ hydrocarbon alpha-olefin.

Abstract: According to the object, the linear distortion due to inadequate transmission of low-frequency spectral components and superimposed low-frequency interference sources occurring during the transmission of digital signals is to be eliminated. Networks as used in quantised feedback, the frequency response and variation with time of which must be matched to one another, are not to be used. The method according to the invention has the effect that from the bivalent digital signal a trivalent signal is produced by clamping the voltage for a short time to a reference voltage UO at the detection point under control by the bit clock. The value of the digitial signal is determined by a logic operation from the voltage values of successive bit periods and is provided as regenerated signal at the predetermined bit clock rate. The method provides for regenerating even multi-valent signals. It is preferably used in PCM engineering. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A super scalar computer architecture and method of operation for executing instructions out-of-order while managing for data dependencies, data anti-dependencies, and integrity of sequentiality for precise interrupts, restarts and hranch deletions. Multiple registers (12, 18) and tables (11) are used to rename and recycle source and destination addresses referenced to a general purpose register (16). Access to destination data in the general purpose register (16) is locked until the instruction associated with the data is fully executed. Renaming of both the source and destination registers avoids anti-dependency problems while integrity of sequentiality is maintained by ordered retirement of instruction results consistent with the order of the input instructions. The system and method operate with multiple input instructions and multiple execution units. The control words generated by the renaming of the source and destination registers differ insignificantly from the original instructions, obviating the practice of adding status and sequence information to processor control words.

Abstract: The memory security circuit detects when a memory  unit (NVM3) has been accessed independently of an address  instruction (AS) of a programmable microprocessor (13).  The microprocessor (13) is programmed to provide a unique  address signal (AS) for write enabling a discrete memory  unit (NVM3). The memory unit has a write enable pin (P5)  and chip select pin (P6) which when enabled in  combination permits writing into the memory unit (NVM3).  The address decoder (28) receives the unique address  instruction (AS) and causes a write enable signal and a  chip select signal to be generated for that memory unit  (NVM3). The write enable signal and chip select signal  are to be received, respectively, by the write enable pin  (P5) and the chip select pin (P6) of the memory unit  (NVM3). The memory security circuit monitors the write  enable pin (P5) and the chip select pin (P6) of the  memory unit (NVM3) and generates a first output signal  when the memory unit has been properly addressed. A  second output signal (INTERRUPT 2) is generated when the  memory unit (NVM3) has not been addressed by the address  decoder (28) and the write enable and the chip select  signals are present at the memory unit (NVM3).

Abstract: The problem of noise enhancement is eliminated in communications systems by predistorting the amplitude of the transmitted information signal in a manner which compensates for the amplitude distortion introduced in a portion of the communications channel. In the disclosed embodiments, the communications system includes two signal transceivers (101,102) which communicate with one another through a communications channel. The communications channel includes two-wire subscriber loops adjacent to each signal transceiver with a four-wire transmission path disposed between the subscriber loops. Each transceiver transmits an information signal which, depending on the system noise characteristics, is predistorted to compensate for all or a portion of the amplitude distortion introduced in a subscriber loop adjacent to that signal transceiver. The predistortion necessary to provide such compensation is determined at each transceiver in response to a received narrowband signal at that transceiver. Advantageously, this narrowband signal (107) may be that used to disable echo cancellers and/suppressors in the communications channel.

Abstract: A data collection system in which a number of remote terminals (RT) transmit data packets for reception by one or more fixed data collectors (FDC) or a portable data collector (PDC). Each remote terminal (RT) transmits data in two frequency sub-bands to which the fixed and portable data collectors are respectively tuned. Channel capacity is improved in at least the fixed data collector (FDC) sub-band by the use in the remote terminal of minimum shift keying (MSK) encoding and pseudo-random variation of a frequency error applied to the packet transmission frequency for successive packets. In the fixed data collectors dual fast-Fourier transform signal processing enables the interpretation of simultaneous packets with different error frequencies. The use of a single design of remote terminal (RT) in conjunction with portable data collectors (PDC) simplifies system set-up, with the portable collectors providing coverage for those areas where a fixed data collector (FDC) network has yet to be established. The system has particular application to the monitoring of devices such as gas and electricity meters and security systems.
