Title: Hybrid reference frequency correction system
Inventor: WALTON MARK JAMES
IPC: H04L27/22
Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: A reference frequency correction system for a digital telecommunications device is shown in the sole Figure. A reference oscillator (11) is associated with a coarse adjustment means (15, 20-23, 16-19) for coarse adjustment of the reference frequency. A DSP (12) includes a frequency error detection means for detecting the frequency error between the reference oscillator output and a received signal.

Fine correction of the reference frequency is carried out in the DSP(12) by algorithm operations.

Title: Use of a bolus with a differential surface coating to administer beneficial substances to ruminant animals at a uniform rate of release
Inventor: PORTER WILLIAM LESLIE
IPC: A61K9/28
Filed: 1998-12-10
Abstract: A bolus for the administration of beneficial substances, for example, vitamins or mineral elements such as zinc, to a ruminant animal comprises a differential surface coating. This coating comprises a release-retarding substance, such as beeswax, coated over 75% of the surface of the bolus which is slow to dissolve in the rumen, and a non-retarding rapidly dissolved substance, such as cheesewax coated over the remaining 25% of the bolus surface. The cheesewax layer dissolves rapidly to allow release of the beneficial substance held within the bolus to begin. The very slowly dissolving beeswax layer ensures that only the exposed 25% of the surface releases substance initially. However, as the residence time in the rumen increases the beeswax layer is eroded and more and more of the substance releasing-bolus surface is exposed, thus maintaining the release of the beneficial substances at a steady rate. The system is designed to overcome the problem usually encountered with such bolus means where there is a high initial concentration of beneficial substance which then decays rapidly and ensure instead a more constant and level release of substance with time. The bolus may also contain coating over part of its surface and no coating over the remainder or it may contain a single coating substance which has different thicknesses over different parts of the bolus surface.
