Title: Method and machinery for the needling of porous laminar materials and materials obtained
Filed: 1992-06-22
Granted: 1996-02-27
Abstract: A method for the needling of a porous laminar material S formed from at least one layer of thermoplastic resin R faced with at least one layer of fibre material F comprising the stages of placing the said layers on top of each other, advancing the materials stepwise in a predetermined direction V, needling the advancing material S with a set of substantially parallel needles 12 located on the side of the layer of fibre material F. The needling takes place in a direction substantially perpendicular to that in which the material advances V with an alternating linear movement which takes place during the stages when the material is stationary between each advance movement and the next. A machine 1 for carrying out the method according to the invention comprises a load-bearing frame 2, 3, 4 which supports means 6, 6', 6", 6'" for stepwise advance of material S in predetermined direction V between a fixed supporting plate 5 and a moving head 13 provided with needles 12 perpendicular to the direction of advance. Head 13 is driven by at least one actuator 7, 7' in alternating linear movement which is substantially perpendicular to the direction of advance V of the material during the resting stages between each advance movement and the next. <IMAGE>
Patent MX-166750-B (MX)
Inventor: WITT DONALD REINHOLD
IPC: C08F4/74
Filed: 1983-01-19
Abstract: A silica hydrogel containing chromium is aged under conditions such that at least a portion of the aging is carried out at a pH within the range of 7 to 9. The resulting hydrogel is converted to a xerogel by treating with a volatile organic liquid. The desired pH can be obtained either by adding a basic material such as ammonia to the hydrogel prior to or during the aging process or by using a chromium component which inherently gives a higher pH and/or resists the natural tendency for the pH to decrease during aging. An example of such a chromium compound is chloropentammine chromium (III) chloride. The resulting catalyst on activation is particularly suitable for olefin polymerization under conditions where higher melt flow polymer is desired.

IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 1992-11-06
Abstract: A digital video signal processing system includes apparatus for concealing errors which might occur in reproduced images due to image data lost during signal transmission. The system includes circuitry for detecting transmitted video data (20-24), generating error signals if errors are present in segments (transport blocks) of the received data (25), and excising segments having errors from the data stream. The received data is applied to a decoder/decompressor system (26, 27) which decodes and decompresses the transmitted video data according to a predetermined sequence. The decompressed video data may be applied to a memory (318) for subsequent display, recording, etc. The decompressor is responsive to the error signals for altering the predetermined sequence.

Filed: 1993-02-04
Granted: 1995-12-01
Abstract: According to method and apparatus for communication in a cellular TDMA mobile radio communication system with channel hopping, base and mobile stations transmit radio signal bursts in time slots of a plurality of radio channels in accordance with channel hopping schemes. All of the schemes used by a base and mobile stations in a cell are free from coincidence on any radio channel with any other of the schemes used for transmission within the same cell. A scheme used by a mobile station in one cell occasionally coincides on a radio channel with a scheme used by a mobile station in another cell. The major part of every channel shifting scheme used by a mobile station in a cell is free from coincidence on any radio channel with the major part of any channel hopping scheme used by a mobile station in another cell. The signal to interference ratio or other signal characteristics such as signal strength or bit error rate for signals received by mobile stations are estimated and compared, and the output power of stations are controlled. The existence of further possible channel hopping schemes in a cell, free from coincidence on every radio channel with every other of the channel hopping schemes already in use in that cell, is checked. When another connection to a particular mobile is desired and there is a possible mobile scheme free from coincidence, the desired connection is established using the possible channel hopping scheme in the cell, only if the estimated C/I for certain mobile stations involved in connections exceeds a minimum level.
