Title: Relaxation aid
Inventor: WRIGHT FREDERICK HENRY
IPC: A61M21/00
Filed: 1987-08-21
Abstract: A relaxation aid produces sound taking the form of pseudo random noise over an audio range up to and beyond 10 kilohertz, by a pseudo-random noise generator, 3. The noise is generated for a period controlled by a variable timer 2. The noise level is varied periodically in a level control circuit 4 whose control signal 8 or 9 may be altered over a wide range from timer 2, or oscillator 7. Thus the period for which the noise is generated and its rate of variation of level may be adjusted together or independently. <IMAGE>

Title: Display-sales package
Inventor: BARNETT GARY
IPC: B65D33/14
Filed: 1987-11-12
Abstract: A display-sales package has a transparent bag (10) to which is secured a saddle header (11).

Title: Relay contact checking
Inventor: JONES GREGORY ERNEST
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 1988-08-12
Abstract: A relay contact check circuit e.g. for burner control comprises a resistor configuration R5, R6, R7 operable as a foltage divider network and arranged to be selectively connectable dependent on the positions of the relay contacts RL2/1, RL2/2, RL3, RL4, RL5, RL6 to be checked, and voltage sensing means for detecting at least one voltage level derived from the network indicative of operation status. The voltage supplied to R7 is normally 120v, but will rise to 240v or fall to 0v if any of the contacts are in an incorrect state. The output of R7 is compared in a window comparator formed by IC5b and IC5c with upper and lower limits set by resistors R17, R19. The status of the output of the window comparator is thus a check on the relay contacts. <IMAGE>
