Title: Vacuum extrusion system and method
Inventor: LIGHTLE RODGER D
IPC: B29C48/03
Filed: 1997-08-11
Granted: 2000-10-12
Abstract: A horizontal vacuum extrusion line includes a fixed bulkhead (23), a die (24) inside the bulkhead, a telescoping vacuum chamber section (27) and fixed chamber sections (28,29). A dam (33) in the fixed section forms a pond (72) for immersion cooling of the extrudate. A truss (35) extends from the dam to the bulkhead supporting shaping and calibration equipment and extends through the telescoping section. Fluid pressurizable seals at each end of the telescoping section are operable after the telescoping section is closed against the bulkhead and the telescoping and fixed sections are locked together. The telescoping section provide a more compact line and easier access to the complex equipment downstream of the die. The extrudate from the die passes down into the pond (72) and then through an orifice (74) in a hood (75) projecting from the chamber into a lower level portion of the pond (78) exposed to atmosphere. The hood also includes a tractor drive (88) to push the extrudate through the underwater orifice. The hood and its contents are accessible through the atmospheric pond. A tractor haul-off and the tractor drive in the hood are the only extrudate drives between the calibration equipment and atmosphere. The higher level of the pond (72) within the chamber downstream of the dam is controlled by a valve in turn controlling the output of a pump. The valve control senses the pond level and operates independently of the vacuum controls. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>A horizontal vacuum extrusion line includes a fixed bulkhead (23), a die (24) inside the bulkhead, a telescoping vacuum chamber section (27) and fixed chamber sections (28,29).

Title: Transcoder with prevention of tandem coding of speech
Inventor: LEHTIMAEKI MATTI
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1996-04-11
Granted: 1999-05-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a transcoder (TRCU1, TRCU2) having means for preventing tandem coding of speech in a mobile to mobile (MS1, MS2) call within a mobile communication system which employs a speech coding method for reducing transmission rate on the radio path. The transcoder (TRCU1, TRCU2) comprises a speech coder (52, 73) which encodes the speech signal into speech parameters for transmission to a mobile station, and decodes the speech parameters received from the mobile station into a speech signal according to said speech coding method, as well as a PCM coder (54, 72) for transmitting an uplink speech signal to and for receiving a downlink speech signal from a PCM interface in the form of PCM speech samples. In addition to the normal operation, the transcoder transmits and receives speech parameters through a PCM interface in a subchannel formed by least significant bit of the PCM speech samples. Thus, it is possible to prevent tandem coding but at the same time maintain the standard PCM interface and the signallings and services associated thereto. <IMAGE>

Title: Coin testing
Inventor: DORT KLAAS PIETER VAN
IPC: G01N27/72
Filed: 1980-03-27
Granted: 1984-05-17
Abstract: A coin testing apparatus (10) comprises a coin passageway, a coin track (13) along which coins pass on their edges through the coin passageway and an inductor (16) adjacent the coin passageway. The inductor is connected in an oscillating circuit (40) so that the inductor (16) produces an oscillating magnetic field in the coin passageway. The frequency of the oscillating circuit is measured using a counter (41). A number representative of the idle frequency is stored in register (44). When a coin passes the inductor (16), the apparatus (10) detects whether the resulting frequency shift corresponds to the shift for an acceptable coin by comparing the difference between the number stored in register (44) and the number stored in counter (41) with a number previously stored in memory (48). The inductor (16) is oblong and has its major axis perpendicular to the track so that the arrangement is sensitive to variations in diameter over a large range of diameters.

Title: Methods for isolating polyhydroxyalkanoates from plants
Inventor: MARTIN DAVID P
IPC: C12P7/62
Filed: 1996-10-23
Granted: 2000-07-20
Abstract: Methods are provided for separating polyhydroxyalkanoates ("PHAs") from plants, such as transgenic oil crop plants. The methods advantageously permit both the oil and the PHAs to be recovered from the plant biomass. To isolate the PHAs, in one embodiment, a biomass derived from an oil crop plant is pre-processed, for example by grinding, crushing or rolling. The oil then is extracted from the biomass with a first solvent in which the oil is soluble and in which the PHAs are not highly soluble to remove the oil. The biomass then can be extracted with a second solvent in which the PHA is soluble, to separate the PHA from the biomass. Alternatively, the PHA-containing biomass is treated with a chemical or biochemical agent, such as an enzyme, to chemically transform the PHA into a PHA derivative. The PHA derivative then is separated from the mixture using, for example, a physical separation process such as distillation, extraction or chromatography. Advantageously, using the method, the plant oils, the PHAs and PHA derivatives can be recovered and purified on a large scale from oil containing plants such as transgenic oil crop plants.

Title: Tracked vehicle with slip and slide generator - has speed transmitters fitted to drive axles and has difference measuring networks
IPC: B60T8/17
Filed: 1970-08-08
Abstract: Slip and slide generation in the drive axles of tracked vehicles is introduced by using tachogenerators or electronic speed transmitters. Any incorrect slip transmissions, which are produced by errors in the speed generation is avoided. Each drive axle is fitted with two speed transmitters. Each of these groups of transmitters will produce signals in pairs, which are fed to difference measuring networks and compared with each other. The arrangement is such that when a max. speed difference is obtained on two axles, two of the networks will produce a signal.

Title: Combined gear box for agricultural vehicle - with reversing shaft through centre of main gear box layshaft
IPC: F16H37/04
Filed: 1970-10-15
Abstract: The main gear box is connected to a group gear box with high and low ratios. A reversing gear is provided so that two reverse gear ratios can be selected. In order to reduce the length of the reversing shaft, and to prevent it from whipping under load, the layshaft of the main gear box is hollow and contains a shorter reversing shaft which is set in line with the output shaft of the system. This uses a much shorter reversing shaft while utilising some of the available gear box components for a simpler, more stable arrangement.
