Title: Internet radio retransmission system and apparatus
Inventor: TOMLINSON MARTIN
IPC: H04H20/71
Filed: 2008-07-17
Abstract: The invention is concerned with providing a wireless transmitting and receiving system such that a radio station streamed over the internet may be received wirelessly using a receiver which to the user may resemble a traditional domestic analogue radio set combining features of robustness and high audio quality. The unlicensed low power Instrument Scientific Medical (ISM) and Short Range Devices (SRD) frequency bands are well suited to be used by the invention. The invention matches the baseband bandwidth and number of baseband channels to the propagation conditions of the wireless link, provides low peak to average spectral power density and automatic error correction without synchronisation dependency. These features make the invention extremely tolerant to the high variability in propagation conditions which are commonly experienced in indoor wireless reception. A return control channel provides an automatic means of adapting to changing propagation conditions of the wireless link as well as providing the user with the ability to select different radio stations and to alter user preferences.

Title: Process for treating non-agricultural grounds
IPC: E02D31/00
Filed: 1972-03-03
Abstract: 1356369 Soil stabilization SCHOLTENHONIG RESEARCH NV and T DOLFING 3 March 1972 [5 March 1971] 10023/72 Heading E1F Non-agricultural land is treated to render it impervious to pollutants, such as crude petroleum, by homogeneously distributing in the soil to a depth of at least 2.5 cm. an organic or inorganic binder in an amount between 0.75% and 15% by weight based on the soil to be treated, moistening the soil before, during, or after the incorporation of the binder, compacting the soil while still moist, and coating the surface with a layer of thickness in the range 0.3 to 20mm, formed in situ, of a water-insoluble polyurethane, polyester, polyepoxy or polyvinyl polymer. The process, which is stated to be suitable for various types of soil, e.g. clays, sands, and mixtures thereof, may be applied to petroleum and chemical storage sites, or employed in the construction of dikes, roads, swimming pools, landing strips &c. To incorporate the binder the soil is first loosened and crumbled to the required depth, and is moistened with water before, during, or after incorporation of the binder depending on whether the latter is in the form of an aqueous solution or dispersion or a dry composition which is soluble or dispersible in water. Before the subsequent compaction, the soil may be reinforced with glass mats, polyester gauze, netting, coarse granular material such as stone chippings &c and a thin layer of earth, e.g. sand, may be spread on the surface and sprayed with binder solution or dispersion. The binder, which may be mixed with an inert filler or carrier, e.g. earth, sand, marl, clay, chalk, talc, bentonite, before application, may be inorganic, e.g. silicates, cement, gypsum, clay, or a natural or synthetic polymeric organic material, e.g. homo- and copolymers of vinyl compounds, to which a plasticizer may be added, polyacrylates, polyacrylamides, and polysaccharides or derivatives thereof, starch/vinyl graft polymers or emulsions of asphalt or bitumen. A polyvalent metal salt e.g. aluminium sulphate, may be added to polymeric binders to increase their water resistance. A polyurethane coating may be formed on the bound and compacted soil by spraying with an organic polyisocyanate and a polyfunctional polyol, together with a catalyst, and tar or bitumen may be added to the coating. Also described are methods of forming polyester coatings by copolymerization of an unsaturated polyester prepolymer with a vinyl monomer, polyepoxy coatings by curing lowmolecular epoxy resins, and polyvinyl coatings by application of aqueous dispersions of suitable polyvinyl compounds or solutions of polyvinyl polymers in organic solvents. The coating of polyurethane, polyester, polyepoxy or polyvinyl polymer may contain fillers and/or reinforcement, e.g. sand, aluminium oxide, glass fibres, asbestos fibres, or polyester mats.

Title: Improvements in or relating to optical projection systems
IPC: G03B21/20
Filed: 1957-03-27
Abstract: 818,229. Optical-projection systems. ZEISS IKON A.G. March 27, 1957 [March 31, 1956], No. 10065/57. Class 97(1) A projection system comprises a gas discharge lamp 3 with its axis at right angles to the optical axis, at least on reflector 2 in the form of a surface or revolution and producing a convergent light beam, and a divergent cylindrical lens 7 spaced from a convergent cylindrical lens 8, the cylinder axes of both being perpendicular to both the lens axis and the lamp axis. The cylindrical lenses compensate for the restricted angular distribution of light from the lamp in planes containing the lamp axis. In the form shown an additional reflector 4 produces an inverted image of the lamp co-incident with the lamp. One face of the lens 8 may be made light diffusing to produce a more nearly uniform illumination of the gate. A "honeycomb" condenser, such as described in Specification 741,246, comprising lenticulated plates 5, 6 may be provided. The plates may be formed integrally with the lenses 7, 8. The lenses of the plate 6 have tonic surfaces so that each one images the corresponding element of the plate 5 in the projection aperture in spite of the cylindrical curvature of the lens 8. A field lens may be provided in the vicinity of the projection aperture.

Title: Improvements in or relating to yarn-winding machines
IPC: B65H54/16
Filed: 1929-03-28
Abstract: 324,292. Wildt, E., Coley, J., and Wildt & Co., Ltd. March 28, 1929. Winding-machines.-In a vertical-spindle yarn winding-machine wherein the feed of the yarnguide is effected partly by mechanical means and partly by frictional contact with the wound yarn, gain mechanism of the type comprising a rotatable progression-disc 13, Fig. 3, mounted on a screwed rod 12 and adapted to engage the wound yarn at the lower end of its traverse, and a ratchet-wheel 31 actuated by a pawl 30 and rotatable with the disc 13, is characterized in that the oscillating pawl 30 is normally held in engagement with the ratchet-teeth by gravity only. The pawl is pivoted to one side of its centre of gravity so that its tail is weighted to hold the nose against the ratchet-teeth, the gravitational bias being so light that a backstop pawl is unnecessary. The pawl 30 is mounted by bv a screw 29 on a boss 22 while the ratchet-wheel 31 is cast integral with and on the underside of the disc 13. The disc 13 is secured to the screw-threads 12 by a strip 16, Fig. 2, slidable laterally on a boss 17, the strip being held in its engaged position by a spring-pressed ball 19 and being free from spring or other pressure in a radial direction. A let-off lever comprising a block 33, Fig. 1, and wires 34, 35 is pivoted at 32 on an arm 27 projecting down the boss 22, the wire 35 being turned under the tail of the pawl 30 and the wire 34 carrying a guide 36 through which the yarn passes. The arm 35 is held by the running yarn clear of the pawl 30, but on breakage or failure of the yarn the lever turns and the arm 35 disengages the pawl 30 from the wheel 31. As the lift-rail rises and falls the boss 22 and pawl 30 are rocked angularly to rotate the disc 13 through a rod 28 which projects through an arm 27 on the boss 22 and is carried by an arm 44, a slider 47 on the arm 44 being formed with an eye which slides on an angularly-adjustable inclined rod 41. The disc 13 and its boss 17 may be made of aluminium or other light metal. Specification 227,013 is referred to.
