Title: Reduction of strength loss during fiber processing
Inventor: KRAUSE JOHN THORVALD
IPC: C03C25/42
Filed: 1982-09-07
Abstract: Glass fiber strength is improved by removal or avoidance of water derived species within the fiber such as result from exposure of coated or uncoated fiber to ordinary air. Of particular significance is retention of greater strength during a step following thermal processing such as during splicing. Strength improvements result from a procedure such as protection of fiber to avoid exposure to water-bearing ambient or use of medium which chemically alters such water-derived species in the fiber.

Title: Method of combustion and burners
Inventor: MOORE COLIN
IPC: F23D11/42
Filed: 1984-06-15
Abstract: A composition comprising a particulate fuel, typically pulverised coal, carried in water is formed such that it is readily able to be pumped without adding emulsifiers or lubricants to the composition. The composition typically includes at least 25% water and preferably 30 to 50% water. The composition is pumped along passage 16 to burner nozzle 6 and is atomised therein, by means of a stream of oxygen supplied through a passage 34 formed in the nozzle 6.

Title: Telephone subset
Inventor: WEIR DONALD ADAMS
IPC: H04M1/27
Filed: 1985-02-14
Abstract: The situation sometimes arises where two telephone systems have to interwork, one example being those of British Telecom (BT) and Mercury Communications Limited (MCL). In the present case when a call is to be made from a BT (or dual access) line to Mercury, a second proceed-to-send (dial tone) signal is used when access to Mercury is needed. To use this, a subscriber's set includes a detector (22) for the second proceed-to-send, but that signal is not heard by the subscriber. The set also has a "last number keyed" store (19), and when the second proceed-to-send is detected, a Mercury authorisation code is sent from a generator (23) thereof to cause call setting in the Mercury system. The set also enables follow-on calls to be made into the Mercury network. Note that the techniques described are applicable to other networks where two telephone systems interwork. <IMAGE>

Title: Inductive loop detector
Inventor: BUTTEMER DAVID ARTHUR
IPC: G01V3/10
Filed: 1985-09-19
Abstract: In an inductive loop (36) detector used for detecting the presence of an object within an active area of the loop (36) a first signal dependent on the loop frequency is obtained at terminal (1) and compared in comparator (18) to a first reference signal which is dependent on the frequency of the loop without the object being within the active area of the loop. The signal produced by the comparison is compared at (22) to a threshold signal and an output signal is generated when the comparator (18) output crosses the threshold level. The reference signal is derived (using comparator (24), control (26) and memory capacitor (28)) from the first signal and is used to maintain an operating mode of the detector in the event of a power failure. <IMAGE>
