Title: Transmitting compasses
Inventor: PIERCY B C
IPC: H03M1/00
Filed: 1982-12-08
Abstract: Transmitting compasses may be of the type designed to drive a step-by- step or synchro torque motor to give an indication of a ship's heading. The apparatus digitizes signals from either type of compass for application to a computer. The outputs of the circuit on lines 59,60 and 61 provide a Gray code indicative of the ship's heading. When the compass is of the type for use with a step-by-step motor switches 38,50,51,52,56,57 and 58 are in the positions indicated by full lines, and for a synchro torque motor in those indicated by broken lines. Opto-switches 39,69 etc generate a digital signal from input signals and in the case of the synchro torque type the signal applied to the opto-switch 69 generates clock pulses from a monostable 72 which are applied to D type flip flops 63,67 and 68. The Gray code is decoded at a decoder 62. <IMAGE>

Title: Sliding tilting roof for automobiles
Inventor: GRIMM RAINER
IPC: B60J7/05
Filed: 1983-09-27
Abstract: In a sliding tilting roof for automobiles, a lid (3) guided on guide rails (11) in a roof opening (2) can be moved in such a manner that, starting from its closed position, it can either be pivoted out in the manner of front- hinged ventilating dampers by raising its rear edge above the fixed roof surface (1) or, after its rear edge has been lowered, can be displaced beneath the rear, fixed roof surface. Detent elements (54) (Figure 7) engaging in recesses (55) (Figure 9) of the guide rails (11) except while the lid is sliding ensure that the lid is not displaced above the rear, fixed roof surface during the pivoting-in movement. Furthermore, the sliding tilting roof possesses devices which prevent rising of the rear edge of the lid during closure displacements of same, without frictional losses originating from upwardly oriented drive force components occurring. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements in or relating to electro-optical display devices
Inventor: FUJITA MASANORI
IPC: G09G3/18
Filed: 1986-04-03
Abstract: The invention relates to methods for driving an electro-optical display device including an electro- optical modulation element e.g. a ferro-electric liquid crystal having different response conditions to direction of an applied field. Pulse groups P1 or P2 are applied at the display elements, on a time sharing basis. The voltage difference between a desired signal and a selection signal is such as not to permit, after the application of a display control pulse, the response condition to be changed by a following pulse. Said pulse groups P1,P2 includes pulses of different polarities but similar in number and waveform and the response condition is maintained by AC pulses A1, A2 when such pulse group is not applied. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2173780-A (GB)
Title: Treatment of gases
Inventor: WATSON RICHARD WILLIAM
IPC: C01B17/04
Filed: 1986-04-09
Abstract: In a process for recovering sulphur from a typically relatively concentrated gaseous stream of hydrogen sulphide, the stream is reacted with pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air in a furnace 2 to form a gas mixture including hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide. The hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide then react to form sulphur vapour and water vapour. The temperature of the gases in the furnace 2 is controlled by introducing into the gases a quenchant. The quenchant is preferably liquid water although other liquid quenchants may be employed. Alternatively a vaporous quenchant stream comprising at least 80% by volume of steam is employed. The process enables relatively high rates of formation of sulphur vapour to be achieved for a given furnace volume.

Title: Secure holographic data storage using an optical phase encryption device
Inventor: WEBSTER SIMON CHARLES
IPC: G03H1/04
Filed: 1986-10-17
Abstract: A system for securely storing information carried on a document comprises an optical phase encryption device 1 consisting of parallel identical plates 3. Each plate is divided into an array of pixels and is holographically recorded with a spatial pattern of phase retardations, so that each pixel exhibits a predetermined phase retardation. The plates are spaced apart along an optical axis and are displaced relative to each other along x and y axes perpendicular to the optical axis. The information to be stored is represented on a transparency 5 through which a coherent light beam B1 from a laser is passed. An image of the information is thereby projected through the overlapping region of the plates, and the light emerging from the encryption device is phase-changed by the plates. A second coherent beam B2 is used to record the resultant phase-scrambled image holographically on a photographic plate 7. To retrieve the information, a phase conjugate of the phase-scrambled image is passed through the phase encryption device 1 and the resultant unscrambled image is displayed on a screen (15, Fig. 2). <IMAGE>
