Title: Estimating the accuracy of azimuthal orientations
Inventor: GNEPF SILVIO
IPC: G01C17/28
Filed: 2008-07-31
Abstract: In a method according to the invention for estimating the accuracy of azimuthal orientations (a) of a measuring device (1) having an electronic magnetic compass (2), a plurality of determinations of an azimuthal orientation (a, a', a'', a''' , a'''') are carried out, in which the measuring device is aligned with one and the same measuring points at different measuring locations (P, P', P'', P''', P'''') adjacent to one another. On the basis of these determined azimuthal orientations (a, a', a'', a''', a''''), the value of the accuracy is automatically estimated by the measuring device (1) by means of a computational method. The adjacent measuring locations (P, P', P'', P''') are advantageously located one above the other or along a straight line to the measuring point. By means of this method, stationary stray fields of local scale can be detected and the effects thereof on the accuracy can be estimated. Further methods according to the invention are designed in each case specifically for further types of stray fields.

Title: Damp proof course articles
Inventor: SHELTON ROGER PHILIP
IPC: E04B1/64
Filed: 2008-10-15
Abstract: A damp proof course article 18 provides a damp proof course in a structure. The damp proof course article has a first component comprising one or more active agents capable of forming a water resistant course in the structure, and a second component to hold the first component. The damp proof course article 18 may be in the form of pellets or plugs that are inserted into the mortar course towards the bottom of a wall. The plugs may comprise a porous material that holds an active ingredient, such as a hydrophobic alkyl silane. The active ingredient is then able to infiltrate the material of the structure to form a water resistant course.

Title: Improvements in or relating to recording and/or playback apparatus
IPC: G11B3/08
Filed: 1966-03-09
Abstract: 1,117,030. Recording and playback. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. 9 March, 1966 [12 March, 1965], No. 10298/66. Heading G5R. In a recording/playback apparatus wherein a record tape is advanced from a cassette to pass a magnetic head and which has an indicator driven through a releasable coupling against a bias for indicating the length of the carrier advanced past the head, it is arranged that advancing the leading end of the tape to its pre-recording or pre-playback position adjacent the head automatically releases the coupling to cause the bias to reset the indicator to zero. In one embodiment (Fig. 1) the leading end 6 of a magnetic tape contained in a cassette 1 is advanced by an arm 7 on a carriage 4 running on a rail 3 to its pre-recording position. The indicator is normally driven from the tape drive motor through gears 25 and 26, which cause the shaft 23 to rotate, so that the worm 27 is rotated and forced to move axially along the shaft 23, to move the indicator pointer 22. When the carriage 4 is advanced to the prerecord position, it forces down a catch 31, which causes the toothed beam 18 to be rotated, thus releasing the worm 27 and allowing the indicator pointer to be returned to zero by the bias spring 32. In a second embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown) it is arranged that the indicator (47) is driven from the tape drive motor (41) via an idler gear (40) which is arranged on a spring arm (43) which is rotated by the passage of the carriage (4), so that the drive is disengaged when the carriage passes, and the indicator is returned by its spring bias to zero. In a third embodiment (Fig. 3A) wherein the tape is moved in a circular track past the heads 66 by an arm 55 mounted on a rotatable'arm 53 to engage the take-up reel 57, the opposite end 68 of the arm 53 pushes on the end 69 of a control rod of a counter type indicator 67, to reset this to zero.
