Title: Manufacture of a continuous filament and staple fibre yarn
Inventor: BERTSCH GOTTHILF
IPC: D02J1/00
Filed: 1995-02-28
Abstract: A yarn comprising both a continuous filament component (1) and staple fibres (2) is manufactured by an air jet texturing process. The staple fibres are bound undisplaceably into the yarn by the loops on the continuous filaments produced during texturing. Owing to the formation of a suction zone of the airstream directly before the beginning of actual texturing, the staple fibres can be sucked in and can be blended into the interior of the yarn and can be secured firmly in the yarn by the loops. <IMAGE>

Title: Sound analysis
Inventor: SMITH LESLIE SAMUEL
IPC: G10L25/30
Filed: 1995-03-23
Abstract: A technique for extracting the onsets and offsets from each channel of bandpassed sound and for temporally and tonotopically clustering these onsets and offsets using a neural network. The onset and offset maps so produced are used to segment the sound. The segments so produced may be analysed one by one for separate interpretation. Each segment can then be identified as belonging to one source or not. The arrangement shows parallel processing of the positive and negative going parts of the onset/offset filtered signal. The neural networks 5a, 5b sharpen the onsets, offsets and cluster them across the frequency bands.

Title: Image processing with different detection and processing of white and dark areas
Inventor: CHIEN CHUN-TSAI
IPC: H04N1/407
Filed: 1997-05-29
Abstract: An imaging system comprises a photodetector 508, a DC gain adjusting amplifier 515, at least one A - D converter 525, 530, a data mask 510, 520 and a gamma corrector 545, 550 for each A - D converter, and an adder 555 for combining the outputs of the gamma corrector(s). The photodetector is controlled by read out pulses (Figure 6) whose period is short (63) for detecting white portions of the image and long (66) for detecting dark portions. The period of the long and short pulses may be in the ratio 10:1 and switching between the periods occurs at line or pixel frequency. The data mask(s) use reference signals 502, 503 and 504, 505 to eliminate signals outside the reference range and to separately process the dark and white parts of the image. The intensity of the light source may also be switched with the photodetector control pulses. A single A-D converter/mask/gamma corrector path may be used (Figure 8) with corresponding switching of the reference values and gamma correction function. The system is said to increase the linear portion of the transfer characteristic (Figure 7), the non-linearity of which is normally corrected only by the gamma corrector.

Title: Optical transmitter/receiver capable of detecting insertion/removal of optical fibre or electric cable
Inventor: NYU TAKAYUKI
IPC: H04B10/80
Filed: 1997-07-18
Abstract: An optical transmitter/receiver 7 transmits and receives optical signals between terminal devices (19, figure 6) of a network which are connected by twisted pair cable 10. The optical transmitter/receiver 7 has an electrical connector 9 for connection to the twisted pair cable 10, a peak holding circuit 3 for detecting whether there is an optical signal in the optical fibre 18, based on the output signal from an optical receiver 5, and a biasing circuit 1 for applying a bias voltage to the twisted pair cable 10. The biasing circuit 1 applies a bias voltage to the cable 10 if there is an optical signal in the optical fibre 18, and stops the application of the bias voltage if there is no optical signal. The terminal devices are thus capable of detecting insertion or removal of the twisted pair cable 10 or the optical fibre 18.

Title: Automatic transmission control with gear failure sensing
Inventor: YUN HEE-DO
IPC: F16H61/14
Filed: 1997-12-09
Abstract: A damaged transmission gear in an automatic transmission is detected by a control system which analyses the vibration level of the transmission in each gear ratio, sensed by an acceleration sensor, and judges whether or not there is an abnormality. The transmission is then controlled in a new shift pattern which excludes the damaged transmission gear and so prevents an accident from occurring as a result of a gear failure. A warning signal is also generated to inform the driver of the gear malfunction.

Title: Water heater with thermostatic control of flow rate
Inventor: SIVILL ALISTAIR DAVID
IPC: G05D23/02
Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: In an electric instantaneous water heater or a gas combination boiler incorporating a heat exchanger 2 to heat water from a cold water supply, a thermostatically controlled valve 7 adjusts the flow rate of water through the heat exchanger in dependence on the temperature of the cold water. The valve 7 has a wax thermostat 16 acting on a valve element 19. In winter, when the mains water is at about 5 degrees C, the wax thermostat moves the valve element 19 to a position adjacent its seat 12, restricting the flow rate through the heat exchanger so that the water is heated to an appropriate final temperature. In summer, when the temperature of the mains water is at about 20 degrees C, the wax thermostat moves the valve element 19 away from the seat 12 to increase the flow rate through the heat exchanger so that the water is heated to the same final temperature.
