Abstract: 907,581. Drying or cooling systems and apparatus. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. July 15, 1959 [Aug. 15, 1958; Jan. 30, 1959], Nos. 26315/58 and 3348/59. Classes 34 (2) and 64 (2). [Also in Group II] A method of correcting the performance of a rotary granule-drying or cooling container having longitudinal lifting blades comprises inserting therein, after testing the apparatus under the desired conditions of use, at least one propelling member which comprises a strip at least part of which is inclined to the axis of the container so that the propelling member is disposed at least partly within the inner periphery formed by the lifting blades of the apparatus but leaves a substantially uninterrupted passage through the container in the form of a zone surrounding the axis thereof, and is of pre-selected size, shape and orientation so that it will modify to a desired extent the retention time in the container of the particular material which is to be passed therethrough. A drying or cooling apparatus comprises a cylindrical rotatable container 1 on a horizontal axis having longitudinal lifting blades 2, 3, 4 in the form of scoop blades secured to the inner wall of the container and a relatively narrow helical strip 5 which acts as a propelling blade and which is formed within the inner periphery formed by the blades to which the strip is secured. In a modification the propelling blade is formed of relatively narrow straight strips lying in a helical formation within the inner periphery formed by the lifting blades and in a further modification the helical strips are substantially in helical formation but overlap slightly.

Abstract: 935,044. Adjustable chairs. MINISTER OF WORKS. July 20, 1962 [July 21, 1961], No. 26491/61. Class 52 (2). A chair or stool has a seat 14 which when unloaded is vertically adjustable by rotating a screw-threaded spindle 8 in a bush 4 which is mounted in a pedestal 1. When loaded the seat 14, which is attached to a cap 13 and secured to the top of the spindle 8 by a pin 15, presses down on a helical spring 12 so that the pin 15 moves down a vertical slot in the top of the spindle 8 and registers with an annular slot 10, whereby the seat can be rotated about the spindle. The load applied to the seat is also transmitted by the spindle 8 to the bush 4 which is thrust against the tapered face of a smaller bored part 3 of the pedestal 1. The bush has vertical slots 7 and can therefore be forced inwardly to grip the spindle and prevent relative rotation between the spindle and bush.

Title: Data communications
IPC: H03H15/00
Filed: 1976-06-25
Abstract: 1536044 Equalizers CODEX CORP 25 June 1976 [23 July 1975] 26638/76 Heading H4R A receiver for signal bursts at a signal rate of I/T signals/sec. first uses data at a low data rate (2400 b.p.s.) in a segment of the burst to adjust an adaptive equalizer and thereafter receives higher rate data (4800 b.p.s.) at the same signal rate I/T. A preamble signal of 11 digits alternating between 0 and 1 and terminating in double one is transmitted on quadrative carriers of 1800 Hz. The digits are represented by phase vectors at 45 degrees. The carrier is detected at 63, Fig. 6, to set the normalizing a.g.c. circuit 61 to a fast, high gain mode and cause control circuit 81 to set the carrier recovery circuit 67 to an arbitrary phase angle relative to the incoming carrier so as to effect initial demodulation of the data on quadrative phase paths 68, 69. The a.g.c. then reverts to normal mode. The filtered data feeds a timing recovery circuit 74 which determines when the difference between the current data sample and the previous sample T reaches a peak to establish a time datum. Data samples at T/2 are A/D converted and fed to an adoptive equalizer 79 which is initially adjusted to correct for the initial carrier phase error either by setting the 4th of 8 taps to a preset value whilst the others are at zero or by forcing the error to a negative real constant. In either case four successive data samples are used and in the forcing method the tap setting is based on the error between the average phase position of the preamble signal and that of the four successive samples. Subsequently, the decision and error circuit 80 examines the data to detect the double-one at the end of the preamble to activate de-scrambler 87. Phase modulated data at 2400 b.p.s. rate is transmitted immediately after the preamble whilst the equalizer is set as above. If the message is short (# 64 bits, 26À7 ms.) adequate reception is assured without the equalizer being fully adapted although the equalizer may be using the latter part of the preamble and the 2400 b.p.s. data to adjust its taps. After this time, data is transmitted at 4800 b.p.s. as phase vectors  1  j and  3  3j which has similar power rating to the  2À5  2À5j of the 2400 b.p.s. data, and the equalizer has the opportunity to fully adapt using the least mean square algorithm (Fig. 7, not shown).
