Title: Controlling talk group activity in a communications system
Inventor: GOZES AMIRAM
IPC: H04W84/08
Filed: 1992-10-17
Abstract: A communications system 10 covering a plurality of cells 11, 12, comprises a controller 13, for administering control of the system, and a plurality of communications devices A-J each having a transceiver for transmitting request messages to and receiving control messages from the controller 13. The communications devices A-J comprise registered communication devices that are registered with the controller 13 as being associated with a talk group and scanning communication device receptive to at least one talk group. The controller has a data base containing information relating registered communication devices to a current cell in which they are located, a receiver responsive to the request messages and a transmitter for transmitting control messages. The controller 13 allocates voice channels to cells participating in a group. When group request message is received by the controller, a first control message OSW is transmitted to cells containing registered communications devices associated with the talk group. The first control message assigns a voice channel for the talk group in the cell. A second control message TGCA OSW is transmitted to all other cells indicating that the talk group call has been established for the talk group. <IMAGE>

Title: System for supplying fuel to the injectors of a turboshaft engine.
Inventor: BROCARD JEAN-MARIE
IPC: F02C9/26
Filed: 1992-12-17
Abstract: The injectors 5 of a turboshaft engine are divided into several groups 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d supplied by a first distributor means 3 for distributing all the fuel flow D from a fuel source 1 to some of the groups of injectors 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d when the fuel flow rate is low, sequentially in a cycle such that the resultant fuel flow is constant, and a second distributor means 4 for distributing all the fuel flow D over all the groups of injectors 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d when the rate of fuel flow is high. Progressive transfer means 2 divides the fuel flow D between said first distributor 3 and said second distributor 4 as a function of the fuel flow rate D.

Patent GB-2269727-A (GB)
Title: Method for processing sample values in an RRL channel
Inventor: PAN TZU-WANG
IPC: H03L7/06
Filed: 1992-12-21
Abstract: The present invention describes an improved RLL channel utilizing a closed-loop clock recovery scheme and a simplified decoding algorithm. (1, 7) run-length-limited (RLL) code is used to reduce the magnetic nonlinearity problem posed by prior art PRML systems. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the analog data signal is amplified, filtered and equalized to approximate an ideal waveform. The signal is then sampled and decoded into binary data. The clock recovery circuit is designed to sample the analog data such that the signal peak lies centered between consecutive sample points. It is thus made possible for the phase error to be extracted from a direct comparison of neighboring sample values. The phase error is then used to adjust the clock signal for the following samples. In the decoding algorithm of the present invention, by making useful approximations, the complexity of the decision functions is reduced, along with the number of required look-ahead samples. The reduction in look-ahead samples reduces the systems sensitivity to misequalization. <IMAGE>

Title: Feeding and transversely positioning webs
Inventor: ROLT RICHARD CASWALL
IPC: B65H23/032
Filed: 1995-05-25
Abstract: A conveyor belt (1) mounted about rollers (2,3) is moveable to carry a web (4) from an infeed area (5). The belt (1) is porous and air is drawn from a vacuum box underlying the belt to create a pressure differential across the belt to hold the web in position. The transverse position of the web in the infeed area (5) is detected by a detector (11) which is used to control a cross-belt (7) which lies between the web (4) and the conveyor belt (1). By movement of the belt (7) the position of the web can be maintained at a desired location relative to the belt (1). Such transverse positioning is more effective than the use of edge guides, particularly for thin or soft web materials.
