Title: Feed apparatus for feeding wire
Inventor: REITEL EDGAR
IPC: B27F7/28
Filed: 1982-06-10
Abstract: Wire feed apparatus for a non- stop wire stitching machine serves to feed the stitching wire from one of two wire coils (1, 2) to a single wire feed nozzle (13) without the need for manual removal from the nozzle of wire from an exhausted coil when changeover to a new coil takes place. The apparatus comprises two driven transport rollers (11, 12), of which one is axially fixed and the other axially displaceable. The wire strands (5, 5') from the two coils are received in at least one circumferential recess in either one or both of the two transport rollers (11, 12) and either one or the other strand is clamped between and conveyed by the rollers depending on the axial setting of the axially displaceable roller the other strand lying loosely between the rollers. At the instant of change in the conveying of the strands (5, 5'), the end of the old strand (5, or 5') is automatically drawn out of the nozzle (13) by a wire withdrawal device (27). Device (27) moves in response to a feeler lever (33) contacting the core of the empty spool. <IMAGE>

Title: Image composition system
Inventor: KELLAR PAUL RODERICK NOEL
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 1983-01-07
Abstract: The image composition system includes framestores 30, 31 for receiving information from first and second picture sources. A processor 33 provides the composed image by using information from these sources. The processor is controlled by picture shape information made available from a third framestore 32. This shape information may be provided by a camera 26 receiving an image of a silhouette for example or the shape can be manually generated via a touch tablet 38. The instantaneous value of the shape controls the blending of the pictures such that portions of the picture can be taken from a scene and inserted without noticeable degradation. Manipulation of the position, orientation or size of the inserted picture portion for example can also be effected. <IMAGE>

Title: Radar
Inventor: JONES DAVID IAN
IPC: G01S13/44
Filed: 1983-10-12
Abstract: A radar observing a target T which is instantaneously rotating about an unknown axis ZI (e.g. a ship which is both rolling and yawing) includes a system for determining the inclination of the axis ZI and hence the angular velocity  omega  of the target about ZI. The radar includes an antenna arrangement (10) which generates a sum signal V SIGMA  and preferably, respective azimuth and elevation difference signals V DELTA A, V DELTA E. The difference signals are weighted by respective amounts  alpha A,  alpha E and combined vectorially to produce a resultant difference signal V DELTA , corresponding to a response pattern with a split plane at an orientation determined by the relative weightings. The sum and resultant difference signals are subjected to respective Fast Fourier Transforms to determine the magnitudes of the Doppler frequency components. The variation with Doppler frequency f of the ratio   <IMAGE> is then fitted (eg. using a least-mean-square-error algorithm) to a function of the form   <IMAGE> = a + bf, where a and b are constants, The process is then repeated for different orientations of the split plane, and that orientation whose departure from linearity is within a preset tolerance is deemed to be aligned with the zero isodop ZI of a rotating target, and the slope b is proportional to angular velocity  omega  of the target. The orientation of the split plane can be varied by controlling the respective weightings  alpha A,  alpha E. In an alternative embodiment, the antenna arrangement generates a difference pattern in one plane only whose orientation can be varied by mechanically displacing the antenna arrangement. <IMAGE>

Inventor: BARRIE ROBERT PAUL
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 1984-03-29
Abstract: The machine provides a dramatic narration during which a player is invited to make choices by actuating player-operable controls, the outcome of each player choice, which is governed by chance, being shown by dramatic scenes which are part of the narration. The player choice may result in dramatic scenes on a screen (14) showing that the player has won a reward, has lost, or has his choice of a reward or an opportunity to make a further choice with the possibility of winning a higher reward. The individual outcomes are determined with the aid of a random number generator. In one embodiment, the random number generator functions by randomizing the output of a pseudo- random number generator. An auxiliary display may be provided using lamps to indicate game progress. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2182517-A (GB)
Title: Intruder detector
Inventor: HOYLE ROGER WILLIAM LESLIE
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 1985-10-29
Abstract: Genuine intrusions through a microwave fence result in signal changes of characteristic form including both positive and negative excursions from a standard level. To detect only such intrusions the received signal is applied to first and second comparators 1,2 arranged in parallel,the first comparator 1 providing an output whenever there is an increase in signal level exceeding a predetermined amplitude and the second comparator 2 providing an output whenever there is a decrease in signal level exceeding a predetermined amplitude, an alarm signal arises only when an output from both comparators occurs during a predetermined time period. In one circuit arrangement output from either one of the comparators 1,2 initiates a timer 6 to time the predetermined period. In an alternative arrangement (Fig. 2) only a specific one of the comparators can initiate the timer so signal excursions must occur in a specific order to produce an alarm signal. However, two circuits of the latter type may be combined to give more sensitive intrusion detection. <IMAGE>

Title: A ferromagnetic multiple shell
Inventor: SZABO ZSOLT
IPC: H01F27/255
Filed: 1986-02-03
Abstract: A ferromagnetic multiple shell core 1 has a circular-cylindrical pot- shaped basic shape with two or more winding spaces 2, 3 arranged concentrically with respect to one another. The winding spaces are separated from one another by ring- shaped walls 4 have a joint central circular-cylindrical core 5 and are of different depths. The multiple shell core is particularly suitable for inductive close-range transmission systems for wireless transmission of measuring values between a movable machine part or vehicle part and a machine part or vehicle part that is stationary relative to the movable part, for example, for a type pressure control system. Because of the good decoupling of the magnetic circuits and the low winding capacitance, high crosstalk attenuation between the different signal circuits can be achieved together with an advantageous mechanical structure. <IMAGE>
