Title: Sailing vessel
IPC: B63H25/00
Filed: 1988-06-27
Abstract: Detachable sailing vessel for high speed and performance comprising a 
horizontal triangular frame having its apex forward, which is carried 
by one central frontfloat under the apex and two rear-sidefloats, one 
under each side corner at the sternbeam.  
     Stearing is done with a helm at the stern acting on either the 
frontfloat or on both rear-side floats.  
     In the latter steering mode, the frontfloat may have automatic course 
compensation by being able to pivot over about ± 10° while being urged 
by elastic means into the central position.  
     The mast is positioned near to the frame-apex and leans back at about 
30°. Its both side stays run upwards from the sidebeams at a slight 
rearward angle of 5°-10° with regard to the vertical to the frame. 
Said side stays may consist of buckle-stiffened shores.  
     The vessel has one (main)sail with free (loose) underside.

Title: Detector for leaks or orifices
IPC: G01M3/04
Filed: 1989-02-03
Abstract: An apparatus for testing for leaks in individual 
cavities, such as pin sockets, in a component, such as an 
electrical connector, in which the pin sockets or other 
cavities to be tested for leaks extend into said component 
from a surface of the component is provided. The apparatus 
of this invention includes resilient means for sealingly 
engaging said surface of the component which surrounds the 
socket or other cavities. There is provided through the 
resilient means a plurality of deformation resistant 
apertures, which may be, for example, hollow metal tubes, 
such as hypodermic needles protruding through said resilient 
means. Said apertures are geometrically arranged to 
correspond to the arrangement of said cavities so that one 
aperture is in alignment with the opening of each cavity. 
Each of said apertures is connected by a conduit to a 
pressure sensing means, which is capable of measuring the 
rate of pressure decay or leakage out of the test section or 
cavity. Means is also provided for simultaneously 
introducing a gas under pressure to each of the apertures. A 
suitable valve mechanism is provided for turning off the gas 
supply so that the rate of leakage, after such pressurization 
of the cavities, can be measured.

Title: Decoder circuit
IPC: G11C8/10
Filed: 1989-02-01
Abstract: A decoder circuit comprises a plurality of signal 
conductors (X₀ - X₇ , DL), first potential setting units 
(Tpc) for setting a potential of the signal conductors 
(X₀ - X₇ , DL) to a first potential, second potential 
setting units (Cs) for maintaining a potential of one 
signal conductor (X₀ - X₇) at the first potential and 
bringing a potential of the remaining signal conductors 
(X₀ - X₇ , DL) to a second potential, and a respective 
transfer transistor (T₀ - T₇) provided for each signal 
conductor (X₀ - X₇). A gate electrode of each 
transfer transistor (T₀ - T₇) is connected to its 
respective signal conductor (X₀ - X₇), a source 
electrode thereof is connected to another signal 
conductor (X₁ - X₇ , DL), and one transfer transistor 
(T₀ - T₇) is switched ON and a decoded output signal is 
output when a gate potential of that transfer 
transistor (T₀ - T₇) is maintained at the first 
potential and a source potential thereof is brought to 
the second potential. Therefore, only one output signal 
conductor (X₀ - X₇) is selected during a decoder 
operation without using a discharge detecting circuit of 
a nonselected output signal conductor and a timing 
signal, and thus an operation speed of the decoder 
circuit is much higher and the decoding circuit has a 
simpler construction and is suitable as a large scale 
integration circuit.

Filed: 1989-10-27
Abstract: Contact lens is cast by polymerising a monomer in a cavity between a male mould and a female mould. When the moulds are opened, the lens remains supported on the surface. Cover is sealed onto the flange to form a package. Lens is cast with the male mould (12) facing downwards and female mould, which has an annular wall and flange similar to the wall and flange (22), is fitted piston-like with the male mould. Cavity is sealed properly and that the moulds retract to take up shrinkage when the lens is polymerised in a pressure vessel at, e.g. 0.2-1 bar. Surface is flame polished to ensure that the lens remains attached to the male mould when the moulds separate. Male mould is then inverted to face upwards and form an open container. Saline fluid is poured into the container to hydrate and ease the lens from the mould. Finally a removable lid is applied to the flange.

Title: Perceptual coding of audio signals
IPC: H03M7/42
Filed: 1989-12-14
Abstract: A technique for the masking of quantizing noise in the coding of audio 
signals is adapted to include geometric interpolation between the thresholds for a 
tone masking noise and for noise masking a tone, in order to reduce use of bit-rate 
capability where it is not necessary for transparent or high quality. The technique is 
usable with the types of channel coding known as "noiseless" or Huffman coding and 
with variable radix packing. The stereophonic embodiment eliminates redundancies 
in the sum and difference signals, so that the stereo coding uses significantly less 
than twice the bit rate of the comparable monaural signal. The technique can be used 
both in transmission of signals and in recording for reproduction, particularly 
recording and reproduction of music. Compatibility with the ISDN transmission 
rates known as 1B, 2B and 3B rates has been achieved.
