Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically identifying a program broadcast by a radio station or by a television channel, or recorded on a medium, by adding an inaudible encoded message to the sound signal of the program, the message identifying the broadcasting channel or station, the program, and/or the exact date. In one embodiment the sound signal is transmitted via an analog-to-digital converter to a data processor enabling frequency components to be split up, enabling the energy in some of the frequency components to be altered in a predetermined manner to form an encoded identification message, and with the output from the data processor being connected via a digital-to-analog converter to an audio output for broadcasting or recording the sound signal. In another embodiment, an analog bandpass filter is employed to separate a band of frequencies from the sound signal so that energy in the separated band may be thus altered to encode the sound signal. The invention is particularly applicable to measuring the audiences of programs that are broadcast by radio or television, or that are recorded.

Abstract: A vehicle tyre comprises a tread portion (T)
provided on each side of the tyre equator (C) with a
plurality of main grooves (2), displaced relative to
one another in the circumferential direction,
extending axially outwardly from starting positions
near the tyre equator beyond a position at 25% of
the ground contact width from the tyre equator. The
main grooves (2) on each side of the tyre equator
are inclined to the same direction, which is however
reverse to that on the other side, at an acute angle
which becomes greater in the course of the
longitudinal extent of the main grooves. The axial
distance of the axially inner ends (2i) of the main
grooves from the tyre equator is in the range of not
more than 2% of the ground contact width. Each main
groove consists of an axially inner part (3a)
inclined at an angle (1) in the range of from 5 to
15 degrees and an axially outer part (3b) inclined
at an angle ((2) in the range of more than 15
degrees but not more than 90 degrees, and the
boundary between these two parts is disposed at an
axial distance from the tyre equator which is in the 
range of from 0.25 to 0.70 times the axial distance
between the axially inner end and outer end of the
main groove. The width of each main groove becomes
larger in the course of its longitudinal extent,
starting from the narrowest axially inner end (2i)
in the vicinity of the tyre equator and becomes
smaller again towards the axially outer end (2e)
thereof. The number of main grooves over the
circumference of the tyre is such that at least part
sections of at least five main grooves are disposed
in the ground contact patch.

Abstract: The application discloses an edging strip (10) for use in a flooring system of the
type in which an existing floor (a "base floor") (52) extending up to a wall (56) on at
least one edge is covered with a solid layer the top surface of which
provides a new floor, comprising a horizontal planar strip (12) adapted to lie on
the base floor (52) beneath the floor layer adjacent a wall (56), an upstanding support
extending generally upwardly from the planar strip (12), and a pair of resiliently
deformable sealing strips (20',22') extending from the support in generally opposed
directions and adapted, when installed, to seal against the wall (56) and the floor
layer respectively. Thus, according to the present invention, a strip (10) can be
fitted in place on the base floor (52) and the floor layer then installed such that
the planar strip (12) is trapped beneath the floor layer but the sealing strips (20',22')
provide a continuous seal from the wall (56) to the floor layer. This seal
preferably comprises a smooth outer surface which gives a neat appearance.
The installation process is also very much more straightforward. The
horizontal planar strip (12) preferably includes a plurality of divisions extending
from an edge thereof towards the support. This makes it easier for the
planar strip (12) to be bent to conform to the shape of an imperfect wall. In a
preferred form of the invention, the upstanding support of the edging strip (10)
includes at least one resilient spacing lip extending laterally therefrom. This
spacing lip allows the strip (10) to be fitted with the correct spacing between it
and the wall (56) or between it and the floor layer. It is particularly preferred if
there is a spacing strip on either side of the upstanding support. This allows
the correct spacing to be obtained easily between both the floor layer and
the wall (56). The spacing lip or lips preferably extend at a generally oblique
angle to the upstanding support, thereby to provide some resilience.
Alternatively, or in addition, the lips can be curved to provide a similar
effect.

Abstract: Known kinds of apparatus for cooling human scalps,
especially though not exclusively for preventing or reducing
hair loss in conjunction with anti-cancer treatment by
chemotherapy, suffer for various reasons from insufficiently
accurate temperature control which drastically reduces
success rates. All but the most basic and ineffective kinds
of such apparatus are also very large units. Portable
apparatus with accurate temperature control comprises a
glycol tank 40 of minimal capacity, a generally conventional
refrigeration system including an evaporator 42 disposed
within the tank, a thermostat 76 for controlling the system
to maintain the temperature of the glycol within close
limits, and a single cooling hat 24 through which glycol from
the tank is continuously circulated by a pump 66. The
thermostat 76 is disposed at the outlet of the tank; and the
pump continuously circulates some glycol directly back to the
tank by way of a by-pass pipe 72 without passing through the
hat. A safety device 82 which warns of low coolant flow
without shutting down the apparatus comprises a temperature
measuring probe arranged to activate an audible and/or visual
alarm and disposed adjacent to the tank in a pipe 22
returning glycol from the hat to the tank.

Abstract: A mass fluid flow controller has a valve which is
controlled by a controller rod structure which is
substantially pivotally mounted on a metallic
diaphragm which stretches and unstretches with the
movement of the rod structure. The actuation of the
rod structure is by the expansion and contraction of
an actuator wire which is heated for the expansion
and allowed to cool for the contraction. The primary
fluid flow path through the controller is straight.
A sensor conduit, providing a parallel sensor fluid
flow path, is connected in position using metallic
sealer members which extend in openings to the
primary fluid flow path and which are rounded along
the direction through such openings. The pressure
drop, along the primary fluid flow path, to create
flow through the sensor conduit, is provided by a
fluid flow restrictor having a core and having
lengths of wire along the core which are squeezed
between the core and a tapered fluid flow path wall
in the vicinity of the sensor conduit input and
output connections. A spherical or a conical shape
may be used for the form of the core. A valve seat
bushing is mounted in pipe structure providing the
primary fluid flow path by applying a force against
an end surface of the bushing, with movement of the
bushing blocked, in order to deform the end surface,
push the outer wall of the bushing against the inner
wall of the pipe structure, and fix the bushing in
the pipe structure. In the relationship between the
controller rod structure and a ball which acts as a 
gate-member for the valve, an elongated stem rod
having a sleeve about it may be used in fixing the
ball to the controller rod structure. The stem rod
may be mounted by fixing it to the elongated sleeve,
a distance from the gate-member side of the
controller rod structure that is substantially
greater than the distance of the position of the ball
from the gate-member side of the controller rod
structure.
