Patent GB-2136243-A (GB)
Title: A multichannel television signal recording system
Inventor: DISCHERT ROBERT ADAMS
IPC: H04N9/80
Filed: 1984-01-05
Abstract: Each line of luminance information (Y) is recorded in a first track (Y) on a magnetic tape (620). Each corresponding line of chrominance information comprises two chrominance components (I, Q), which are time compressed in a compressor (20). The compressor includes switching means controlled to apply both components (I, Q) of each line to a second track (I, Q) on the tape (620). In this way cross-modulation of the chrominance signals is reduced, and vertical resolution of color is maintained. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2150527-A (GB)
Title: Raising and tipping mechanisms and vehicles provided with such mechanisms
Inventor: PEARMAN JOHN THOMAS
IPC: B65F3/04
Filed: 1984-11-23
Abstract: A bin raising and tipping mechanism has a pivotable carrier (6) on which a bin can be held between a lower foot (10) and top hooks (12). Respective rams (20, 30) drive the hooks and foot towards each other to grip the bin before tipping. These displacements to grip the bin occur simultaneously but the hooks are arranged to move faster than the foot in the gripping movement to engage the bin first, and when the foot closes on the bin the hooks are forced back, the bin thus being firmly gripped as soon as it is raised. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2170029-A (GB)
Title: Display device
Inventor: NEWSTEAD DENNIS PERCY
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1985-01-19
Abstract: A device for converting a visual display, such as the digits of a gas meter reading, into electrical form without mechanical interference with the meter uses a liquid crystal cell. Each digit is illuminated and the light reflected from it is projected through the cell which is in its scattering, i.e. non-transmissive mode. A coordinate control array (6,10) for the cell sets it successively to a number of states in each of which it is in its transmissive mode for one of the possible digit values. Thus each such state is compared with the level of light reflected from the digit to be converted. The level which most closely corresponds to the digit is assumed to be that for the digit, and this is indicated as its value. The display may include numerals or text. The digits may be read singly or in parallel. The liquid crystal device 1-12 has a light entry point at 2,3 and exit point facing detectors 13. <IMAGE>

Title: Multi tube riser flexjoint
Inventor: GIBB PETER R
IPC: B63B35/44
Filed: 1986-10-13
Abstract: A flexjoint arrangement for a multi tube riser for offshore oil or gas production is described. In its centre, there is a riser pipe containing multiple production tubes (2). The inner tubes are bent to a minimum radius as the outer pipe (1) deflects at the flexjoint. The flexjoint pivot point is offset from the centre line of the riser to compensate for the length differences between the bent inner pipes (2) and the kinked outer pipe when the riser is deflected at an angle. The pivot point, when the riser is deflected, may be between one of a ring of bearing pads (7) and pads (8) on the underside of a guidance assembly (5, 6) including a guide funnel (10) which acts to stop the tubes (2) being bent below a certain radius of curvature. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2190498-A (GB)
Title: Packaging flexible elongate members
Inventor: HIGGINS IVAN PETER
IPC: B65H75/18
Filed: 1987-03-31
Abstract: The length of cable or other flexible elongate member wound around or supported on a reel of a partly-used package is determined by weighing the reel with cable thereon and, having regard to the weight per unit length of the cable, calculating or otherwise ascertaining the length of cable on the reel. Preferably, the length of cable is ascertained from a graph in which the weight of reel with cable on it is drawn against the cable length or from a comparative table of weights of reel with cable thereon and of corresponding cable lengths. The graph or comparative table preferably is printed on the reel flange or on a separately formed label for attachment to the reel flange or carton. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2204946-A (GB)
Title: Automatic vehicle light switch
Inventor: MARLAND STEPHEN GEORGE
IPC: B60Q1/14
Filed: 1987-05-18
Abstract: The switch includes transistors TR1 and TR2 forming an electronic switch, triggered by voltage from the light dependant resistor LDR, which rises as light intensity decreases. If the light intensity falls below a preset threshold, voltage is applied to the light emitting diode LED, and, through the diode D1, and resistor R8, to the capacitor C1. The voltage on C1, amplified by TR4 and TR5, is used to operate the relay RL, which switches on the vehicle's lights. C1 charges slowly, through R8, and discharges slowly, through R9, thus delaying the switch-on and switch-off of the lights. This prevents the lights responding to brief fluctuations in light intensity. When the vehicle's starter is operated, voltage is applied to the base of TR3 which bypasses R8, ensuring the lights operate immediately when starting in the dark. Potentiometer VR1 alters the sensitivity to light. VR2 afters the delay times. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2192113-A (GB)
Title: Method of processing image signal
Inventor: MATSUMOTO MASAYKUI
IPC: H04N1/409
Filed: 1987-08-14
Abstract: A method of processing an image or picture signal including setting a window of n x n picture element matrix (where n is an odd number) with respect to an image signal obtained by scanning an original picture, calculating a correction amount for pixel information at a center position of the window by a predetermined formula obtained on the basis of the whole pixel information within the window, and subtracting pixel informations of respective picture elements in the window by a suitable subtrahend. The correction amount is calculated from added values obtained by adding whole pixel informations within the window; the correction amount is converted into a correcting value by multiplying the correction amount by a correction coefficient which has also taken into account the subtraction on the correction amount, the pixel information is then corrected by use of the correcting value.

Title: Valved gas cylinder
Inventor: MORITZEN DIPL-ING WERNER
IPC: B60R21/268
Filed: 1988-01-11
Abstract: In a gas cylinder having a valve which is to be opened suddenly in order to release the contents, the valve is actuatable by means of a pull cord 11 and includes an energy store which when actuated acts on the pull cord to open the valve. Preferably the energy store is a compression spring 17 disposed in a housing 10 and acting on a pressure plate 18 which is secured by securing means 20, 21. The pull cord is connected to the pressure plate so that a pull on the cord together with the effect of the spring 17 on the pressure plate releases the securing means 20, 21 so that the pressure plate moves forward in the housing 10 to a portion determined by stop 22 and acts on the pull cord 11 to open the valve of the cylinder. In another embodiment (Fig. 5) the securing means are constructed as pincer members and are actuatable by a separate actuating cord, the pull cord and actuating cord being coupled together to form one operating cord. <IMAGE>
