Title: Relative phase-shift keying
Inventor: CONNOR DR FRANK ROBERT
IPC: H04L27/20
Filed: 1986-06-05
Abstract: This invention is a description of a digital communication system which employs two offset carrier signals and precise 'a priori' information at the transmitter shown in Fig. 1. The two offset carrier signals are shifted in phase by the digital information to be transmitted and can be demodulated down to very low values of signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver shown in Fig. 2. The improved performance is obtained by using sum and difference signals at the receiver. The digital information is extracted as the difference signal while the sum signal is used to reduce the received noise by means of a high gain negative feedback loop. The system is able to exploit the use of relative phase information in the received signals. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements relating to hydraulically or pneumatically operated lifting bags
Inventor: MURRAY JOE
IPC: B66F3/35
Filed: 1986-07-01
Abstract: Present lifting bags are unreliable in their structure due to the relative movement which takes place between the layers of rubber and steel reinforcing cord during the manufacturing process of vulcanization and the adhesion of the inner, opposing faces of the bag. According to the invention such problems are overcome by inserting a sheet of pre-cured rubber or neoprene 3 between the opposing inner faces of a bladder 2 which is made of un-cured rubber. The sheet 3 extends into the extremities of the bladder and fabric strips 4 act as a barrier between the bladder and the outer layers of rubber and reinforcement cord thereby preventing relative movement between the rubber 5 and the steel cording 6. The exterior of the bag has a pattern 7 formed of convex dimples 8 in order to provide a non-slip surface. <IMAGE>
