Patent GB-2092063-A (GB)
Title: Coated board for concrete form and method of making the same
IPC: B32B21/08
Filed: 1981-12-22
Abstract: A coated board for concrete forms comprises a wooden substrate such as plywood, fiberboard, particle board or veneer with a layer of adhesive thermoplastic copolymer adhered thereon by heat and pressure. The copolymer is an acrylate modified polyethylene or polypropylene copolymer or a copolymer of ethylene with vinylacetate or ethylacrylate. A method of making this coated board comprises applying the copolymer to the substrate, covering this layer with a release film or other sheet of thermoplastic material having a higher melting point than that of the copolymer, applying heat and pressure to melt the copolymer but not the release film or outer sheet, and allowing the melted thermoplastic copolymer to solidify slowly without exposure to ambient air.

Patent GB-2132446-A (GB)
Title: Telecommunication exchange system
Inventor: REES FREDERICK HENRY
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 1982-12-01
Abstract: British Patent Specification No. 1122924 (ISEC; H. Mantel 1) described a system with two telecommunication networks in the same exchange, one for telephone traffic and one for teleprinter traffic. Each network has its own control means, and there is further control means for both networks. The further control means is used in call handling, especially when a subscriber with access to both networks wishes to use both of them during a call. The present arrangement extends the above general idea to a multi-node system of the digital type, in which some at least of the nodes can handle two or more types of traffic. Thus such a node has one layer (3,6,2,8,9,10) which handles normal telephone traffic (known as Plain Ordinary Telephone Service) or circuit switched data, another layer (11, 13) for, in this case, packet switching, and a control layer (4, 7, 5, 11, 12) with equipment at all of the nodes which serves both layers - or all of the layers if there are more than two "traffic" layers. <IMAGE>

Title: Vehicle having transmission device
Inventor: YUMIZAKI AKIMI
IPC: B60K17/26
Filed: 1983-07-01
Abstract: A change-speed transmission for a vehicle wherein the torque of an engine is applied to an input shaft (20) of the transmission through a clutch so as to generate from an output shaft (30) of the transmission device a changed speed or a changed direction of rotation has a one-way brake (39) provided to limit the direction of rotation of an intermediate shaft (23) to only one direction of rotation. The one-way brake may alternatively be provided for the input shaft (20) or a rotating member located to follow the rotation of the input shaft and to rotate in only one direction during the transmission of the torque. Such an arrangement enables a rearward running of the car to be prevented whilst the transmission is in forward ratio and prevents forward movement when the transmission is in reverse. The transmission may be countershaft or planetary (Fig. 6). <IMAGE>

Title: Traversing web during winding using oscillating guide roller
Inventor: ROTTENSTEINER HANS
IPC: B65H23/02
Filed: 1983-07-26
Abstract: An oscillating web guide roller (1) is mounted at one end (2b) in a displaceable carriage (3). The carriage (3) is moved backwards and forwards between two end positions in a straight line substantially transverse to the web. The alternating displacement is controlled automatically by supply of fluid pressure to a piston-cylinder unit controlled by valve(s) actuated automatically during the oscillating movement of the roller and its carriage (3). The frequency and extent of oscillation of the roller is variable. The roller is used to guide the web to a winding roll. The simple arrangements prevents the formation of bulges at the edges of the rolled up web. <IMAGE>

Read only devices may be provided for use as a reference source in library or computer installations possibly with multi-user and/or multi-bus facilities. Where required provision may be included for recording and/or read-out of stored data, but the control track sequence is preferably pre-recorded and constant. The data carrier can be in a preferred embodiment, a flexible tape in a cassette, but open reel-to-reel systems, short strips semi-rigid cards or rigid plates or drums can be used. The recording method can be magnetic or one of a variety of optical systems, and the data may be computer data, text, graphics video, or any combination thereof.
