Patent GB-2174468-A (GB)
Title: Quick connect fitting
Inventor: HALUCH DAVID A
IPC: F16L37/092
Filed: 1986-04-23
Abstract: A push-in style fitting incorporates an annular piston disposed intermediately of a collet and a seal member within a bore of the fitting. The piston includes a radial surface for pressing against the seal, and includes a cammed bearing surface engageable with a mating cammed bearing surface on the collet. After a tubular member has been inserted into the fitting, axially extending parabolically-shaped projections integral to the internal circumference of collet bite into the tubular member, whereby whenever the tubular member is subjected to an axial pull tending to remove the member from the fitting, the collet will bear against the piston thereby pressing the radial surface thereof against the seal. This action will tend to axially constrict the seal between the piston and an internal wall of the fitting to balloon the seal radially inwardly against the tubular member with a force proportional to the amount of the axial pull on the tubular member. The result is the enhancement rather than the deterioration of sealing effectiveness whenever the tubular member is subjected to an axial load. <IMAGE>

Title: Television signal synchronisation coding
Inventor: SPENCER SIMON HOWARD
IPC: H04N7/167
Filed: 1988-03-18
Abstract: Video data is transmitted by means of a system which splits out 2 synchronisation signals from the information signal and then codes the synchronisation information in such a way that all the synchronisation information for each particular field is held in a small portion of that field and is transmitted in the form of a short code. At the receiver the code is detected and decoded such that synchronisation is re-established. Without knowing the correct timing and coding an unauthorised user is unable to re-establish synchronisation and thus a meaningless signal is obtained. <IMAGE>

Title: Tracking control circuit for a tape recorder and/or player
Inventor: HAN HYUNG DUK
IPC: G11B15/467
Filed: 1989-07-13
Abstract: The tape e.g. in a VCR is driven by a capstan motor past a control head which develops a reference signal. The capstan motor is controlled in order to achieve tracking by means of a phase comparator (8) that compares the reference signal with a tracking control signal developed by a presettable counter (3), that produces an output which has a selectable phase controlled by the time taken for the counter to count to zero. In response to a reference pulse from oscillator (1), the counter (3) is initially loaded with a selected number from an adder (5) input from a counter (7) and an EEPROM (6), and then counts downwardly to zero in response to clock pulses from oscillator (2) causing a delay which determines the phase of the tracking control signal. The number in the counter (7) thus controls the tracking. <IMAGE>
