Title: Vibratory apparatus
IPC: B06B1/16
Filed: 1982-03-19
Abstract: A system for varying the vibration generating force of a rotating eccentric weight (22) comprises a second weight (28) movable from a position on the same side of the axis of rotation as the eccentric weight to a second position on the opposite side of the axis of rotation, the movement being linear and radially across said axis of rotation. A coil spring (27) may be employed to move the movable weight toward the second position initially, in compression, and later to resist additional movement in said direction, in tension, so as to provide basically a linear system for varying the vibrational force. The second weight may advantageously be mounted on a piston 29 in a cylinder 23, and movement of the second weight, against centrifugal forces, effected by applying fluid pressure to the piston. <IMAGE>

Title: Implantable programmable medication infusion system
Inventor: FISCHELL ROBERT ELLENTUCH
IPC: G16H20/30
Filed: 1982-12-16
Abstract: An implantable programmable medication infusion system comprises an implantable portion (2) having a medication reservoir (10) at below body pressure and isolated at its input from the body in which it is implanted by an antechamber (8) the pressure integrity of which is checked before filling the medication reservoir (10). Safety features include a leak detector (35), inlet and outlet valves (14 and 212) used with flow impeding filters (12 and 218), and a maximum allowable pressure in a pulsatile bellows pump (202) all of which prevent undesired infusion of medication. Medication flow from the pulsatile bellows pump (202) is in response to programming commands from a drug programming system (1) and processed in an electronics section (30) which uses the commands to program memory units (320 and 322) and to request pulses of medication. Hardwired limit controls (324 and 326) prevent excessive dosage requests from reaching the pulsatile bellows pump (202). For patient convenience and safety, the memory units (320 and 322) are programmed with running integral limits. A record of medication dispensing can be communicated to a physician by means of a telemetry transmitter (336) which sends signals by telemetry to the communications head (300) which information is displayed on the drug programming unit (3).

Title: Turnable window arrangements
Inventor: STAFSET KARE
IPC: E05C17/04
Filed: 1982-12-22
Abstract: The manually releasable stop device permits unimpeded swinging of the window within a limited angle of rotation between the closed and partially open window. After releasing the stop device further swinging of the window is permitted beyond the limited angle of rotation. The stop device comprises two cooperating stop members (25, 26) which are fastened to respective support members (14, 18) in the window hinge which are pivotable relative to each other. A first stop member is constituted by a stop element (26) fixedly fastened to the one support member (14), and the second stop member is constituted by a self-locking catch element (25) fastened to the other support member (18). The catch element cooperates with a positive control mechanism (26, 32, 37, 39) in the pivotal region of the window within the limited angle of rotation. In the pivotal region the positive control mechanism is adapted to forcibly control the catch element (25) to engage with the fixedly fastened locking element (26), while the catch element in the pivotal region is designed for limited movement of the catch element relative to the fixed locking element.

Patent GB-2138229-A (GB)
Title: Opto-isolator arrangement
Inventor: ROBINSON ROBERT JOHN
IPC: H03K17/785
Filed: 1983-04-08
Abstract: Power dissipation in an opto-isolator circuit arrangement is reduced by chopping the photoemitter current (IE) by means of an activating signal and integrating the corresponding photodetector current pulses (Ip). Although the amplitude of the IE pulses must be greater than if IE were not chopped, in order to give the same integrated photodetector current, the current-time area of the IE pulses may be reduced, since the current transfer ratio is a strong non-linear function of IE. <IMAGE>

Title: A radar apparatus
Inventor: FRANKLIN DONALD PETER
IPC: G01S13/42
Filed: 1983-05-19
Abstract: A radar apparatus for detecting the presence, and determining the angular direction of a target operates by deriving discrete electrical signals (VIDEO) from a batch of eight successively received returns (I/P) as an antenna beam is scanned across the target and subjecting them at 20 to a first DFT. This identifies a frequency in the output having an amplitude exceeding a threshold value. The early and late halves of the batch are subjected to respective further DFT's also at 20. The amplitude of signals produced as a result of the further DFT's, and lying closest in frequency to the frequency identified as a result of the first DFT, are subtracted 40 to produce an output indication of the target direction.

Title: Improvements to the reading of time code
Inventor: BRANSBURY ROBIN
IPC: G11B27/32
Filed: 1983-06-21
Abstract: A data code (e.g. a SMPTE time code) in the presence of a non-harmonically related "noise" signal (on a line T) is read by synchronising a commutative filter (S1,C) to multiples (Cf1, Cf2) of the fundamental frequency of the data code, the filter being in a feedback loop of an amplifier (A1) receiving the noisy data code. The frequency of the data code is extracted by a phase locked loop (PLL) and fed to the switch S1 of the filter. The extracted frequencies are also fed to a second commutative filter (S2,C) to remove the data code from the "noise" signal fed to a second amplifier A2. The "noise" signal may comprise an audio signal. <IMAGE>
