Patent GB-9307356-D0 (GB)
Title: Residential facility control system
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 1993-04-07
Abstract: A residential facility control system transmits data as a radio signal between host and subsidiary apparatus. Transmitting and receiving devices of the host and subsidiary apparatus are reduced in power consumption. A transmitting circuit of the transmitting device of the transmitting and receiving apparatus is supplied with power from a transmitting circuit power source control in synchronization with a first timing signal from a first timer for a period of time which is necessary for transmission. A receiving circuit of the receiving device of the transmitting and receiving device is supplied with power from a receiving circuit power source control for a shorter period of time in synchronization with a second timing signal from a second timer which is synchronized with the first timing signal. When the receiving circuit receives a signal for the shorter power supply period of time, the receiving power source control maintains power supply to the receiving circuit for a period of time which is necessary to receive the signal. Synchronization between the first and second timing signals is achieved by initializing the second timer by way of timer synchronization device each time when the receiving device receives an effective signal or by regularly transmitting a forced synchronization signal to the receiving device from a forced synchronization signal generator provided in the transmitting device and by receiving the synchronization signal at the receiving device to initialize the second timer by way of the timer synchronization device.

Patent GB-9510740-D0 (GB)
Title: Heat shields
IPC: F27D25/00
Filed: 1995-05-26
Abstract: Heat shield panels (4) arranged below a hot material path are supported in a manner which allow limited movement. Carry-over bars (10) at opposite ends of each panel are also displaceably mounted and have bearer elements (20) which lie below the panels. When a carry-over bar is struck by distorted material, it will be momentarily displaced and, through supporting engagement of the bearer elements with the panel, displacement of the panel also occurs, so disturbing loose deposits on its top faces (4c). Occasional agitation of the panels is thereby provided passively and the build-up of deposits on a panel top face can be countered in a manner which allow the angle of slope of the top faces to be reduced.   <IMAGE>

Date May 29, 1997A multi-compartment container is charged with a plurality of doses of powdered medicament so that the volume of each dose is than that of the respective compartments in which it is contained. A respective protuberance is inserted into each respective compartment, which is then filled with medicament and the protuberance is then removed. The container may take the form of an apertured plate, in which case the filling step can be achieved by placing the container on a porous bed and in communication with a reservoir of particulate material, and then passing gas through the reservoir, the apertures in the container and the bed. There is also shown apparatus for performing the method, the apparatus comprising a reservoir for the particulate material and a conduit for relaying particulate material from the reservoir to the compartments, the conduit including protuberances which are insertable into the compartments to reduce the available volume of the latter. The size of the doses can be controlled by appropriate selection of protuberance dimensions, and a plate-type container, when filled by the method, can be relatively easily sealed by, for example, the application of laminated foil.
