Patent GB-2142236-A (GB)
Title: Oral antidiabetic compositions
Inventor: BRICKL DR ROLF
IPC: A61K9/20
Filed: 1984-06-07
Abstract: Galenic compositions containing an oral antidiabetic agent and having an improved release of active substance are provided, as well as processes for producing these compositions. The compositions are characterized in that the onset of the activity and the duration of activity are adapted to the particular needs of diabetics with regard to proper control of the metabolism and the associated proper release of insulin. A basic or acidic excipient in a solvent is added to the antidiabetic active substance in a quantity such that the active substance is made soluble, and then a solubilizing agent is added. Polyvinylpyrrolidone is dissolved as carrier in this solution, but the carrier may simultaneously serve as the solubilizing adjuvant. This solution is further processed with other excipients to form pharmaceutical compositions.

Title: Tensional wound yarn: varying speed of friction drive drum
Inventor: ILLEV ILIYA TZOCHEV
IPC: B65H77/00
Filed: 1985-03-26
Abstract: The winding apparatus comprises a fixed frame, a winding shaft (6) rotatably mounted in the frame, a winding drum (7) axially movably mounted on the winding shaft (6), a bobbin support arm mounted on the frame and carrying a bobbin which is pressed against the winding drum, first and second axially spaced friction plates (11) fixedly mounted on the winding drum (7) for rotation therewith, and an electromagnetic device (8) arranged at one end of the winding drum and a braking device (10) arranged at the opposite end of the winding drum. When the electromagnetic device (8) is energised, it draws the winding drum towards it so as to bring one of the friction plates (11) into driving engagement with a drive element coupled with the winding shaft (6), whereas when the electromagnetic device (8) is de-energised, a spring (12) presses the winding drum (7) in an opposite direction so as to bring the other friction plate (11) into engagement with the braking device (10) in order to retard the rotation of the winding drum (7). The apparatus is simple and can be controlled to maintain a constant yarn tension, and simultaneously achieves axial movement of the windings in order to prevent laying of subsequent windings one upon the other. The apparatus is characterised by small inertia and small overall dimensions, stability during the working process and small reactive losses. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-896640-A (GB)
IPC: F16K31/68
Abstract: 896,640. Valves. ROBERTSHAW-FULTON CONTROLS CO. July 17, 1959 [Oct. 8, 1958], No. 24690/59. Class 135. A thermostatic control device for gas ranges comprises a single operating member 42 connected to a first valve 34 and a second valve means 110, a first lost-motion connection between the first valve and the operating means whereby the operating means adjusts the second valve independently of the first, and second lost-motion means between the second valve and the operating means whereby the operating means adjusts the first valve independently of the second. Anti-clockwise rotation of a dial carrying shaft 42 loosely mounted in the end of main gas cock 34 from an " Off " (Fig. 7b), to a high temperature setting fully opens the cock through a radial abutment 86 (Fig. 7b), of a shaft washer 82 contacting pin 90 on the cock and through a shaft cam 50 and pin 194 sets valve 110 with respect to thermal element 180. With both valves open, the burner is lit via a pilot. On rotating the shaft in the opposite direction the abutment leaves one side of the pin and after lost motion contacts the other side and adjusts the cock for the height of flame required. During this adjustment, pin 194 rides on circular portion 216 of the cam intermediate a low " Off " portion 214 and a temperature-setting portion reducing from high to low temperatures which has no effect on the pin and which corresponds to a high temperature setting of valve 110. Shaft rotation is now reversed whereby cock 34 stays adjusted and pin 194 rides at 218 on to the cam portion which sets the required temperature. The cam has a tongue 70 co-operating with either side of a casing stop to limit its rotation. Thermal element 190 pivots an ambient temperature bi-metal lever 122 about a point 124 on a spring-loaded override lever 126 to move hinged valve 110 pivoted at 102 via pivot 120 on the valve. Lever 126 pivoted at 130 is heavily spring-loaded against an adjustable screw stop 150 on a calibration lever also pivoted at 130 and having an arm 226 curved concentrically with pivot 102. By adjusting the eccentricity of arm 226 with pivot 102 by a contacting screw 228, the temperature range of the dial is calibrated to correspond with the temperature range of the thermal element. The hinged valve, bimetallic lever, override lever and calibration lever are carried on a lever frame 100 which is pivoted at 102 for temperature setting by the cam 50 and pin 194, the setting movement of the frame causing the eccentric arm 226 to move for range calibration as it slides over screw 228.

Abstract: To monitor stereo audio signals associated with a TV video signal, the two stereo audio channels are converted to digital form (20, 21), a memory (22) has bits written into it at addresses formed by successive pairs of such values in digital form to form a map therein of a Lissajou figure representing the relationship between the two channels, the memory is read out linearly in synchronism with the operation of the monitor, and the output inserted into the TV video signal (VID) being displayed. The memory may be read out diagonally, so as to produce a diamond display, by a line counter (LB, RB) and a bit counter (LL, RL) for each channel, the line counters being loaded with predetermined counts at the beginning of each field and counting lines and the bit counters being loaded from the line counters at the beginning of each line and counting bits along the lines, three of the counters (LL, RL, RB) counting in one direction and the fourth (RL) in the other. The counters (LL, LB, RL, RB) are larger than the memory, the excess portion of the counts being used to control (via 45, 52) the enabling of the memory read-out. ACG (automatic volume control) and graticule generation may be provided.
