Patent FR-547583-A (FR)
Inventor: DREAPER WILLIAM PORTER
IPC: D01D10/04
Filed: 1922-01-14
Granted: 1922-12-19
Abstract: Strands of artificial silk are so operated upon that during the final drying process the individual filaments forming the strand are kept in continuous relative movement, whereby they are prevented from sticking together and assume a more or less crinkled appearance, thus increasing the covering-power of the finished product.  The strands in skein form and finished except for drying are supported on rods, or upon a slowly rotating holder of diameter, say, half that of the skein, and are subjected to the action of a strong blast of heated air.  When the strands are arranged to be under tension during drying, the supporting-rods are slowly rotated, and the strands are subjected to an air blast after partial drying and after the tension has been partly or wholly released and the filaments are no longer in a hydrated condition.  A number of skeins may be treated in a chamber conforming to the shape of the skeins and of such dimensions that the air passes through the skeins.  A mechanical movement, effected by revolving the supporting-rods, may wholly or partly replace the direct action of the air upon the filaments.  A skein that is already dried may be treated as described above and sprayed with water or steam, so that the relative movement of the filaments is accompanied by a drying action.

Patent GB-2352596-A (GB)
Title: DC offset correction in radio receivers
Inventor: MCMAHON PAUL
IPC: H03D3/00
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: This invention relates to the removal of a DC offset from a received radio signal. A radio receiver has means for demodulating a received radio signal, means for converting it to digital data and digital signal processing means for estimating a DC offset in the digital data from the digital data and for applying a correction to the digital data on the basis of the estimated DC offset. The DC offset is therefore estimated and corrected using digital data, allowing more sophisticated methods of measuring and removing DC offset to be implemented more straightforwardly. The system may operate on bursts or packets of data, with the offset estimation taking the average signal level of each burst. A new offset may be calculated for each burst, or alternatively the same offset may be used for subsequent bursts or until, e.g., the received signal originates from a different source.
