Abstract: Apparatus is described for separating particulate material from an airstream established by
sucton. The apparatus comprises a primary separation chamber (12) in which particles are
separated from the airstream therein by centrifugal force, a main particle collecting region (14)
into which the particles separated by the primary separation (12) can fall under gravity, and a
secondary separation chamber (90) downstream of the primary chamber (12), to which air and
particles not separated in the first chamber (12), pass. An air outlet in the secondary chamber
allows air substantially free of particles to exit. An intermediate particle collecting region is
associated with the secondary chamber (90), in which particles collect after separation by
centrifugal force from the air flowing through the secondary chamber (90). A valve (41) is provided
between the intermediate particle collecting region and a second particle collecting region,
which is closed while air flows through the apparatus but which is opened when airflow
ceases, to allow particles in the intermediate region to pass into the second region. The
second collecting region may be separate from the main particle collecting region (14), or may
comprise the second particle collecting region. The valve (41) may be operable manually,
electrically, or in response to the flow of air through the apparatus so as to become closed
when the air flow reaches and exceeds a given rate of flow, and opens when air fluid flow
falls below a given rate of flow. A baffle may be provided downstream of the valve to
reduce the tendency for material beyond the valve to be sucked back through the valve
while the air flow is being established.

Abstract: A method of controlling the cooling of a solidified metal strand issuing from a
continuous or semi-continuous DC metal casting apparatus by directing a flow of
coolant onto said strand, characterized in that a quenchant property of the coolant
is intermittently measured by intermittently removing a sample of the coolant from
the coolant flow, allowing the sample to become stagnant, heating a probe,
immersing the probe into the sample, monitoring the temperature of the immersed
probe, determining a quenching property of the sample from the monitored
temperature, comparing the quenching property so determined to a predetermined
target value, and, based on said comparing step, modifying a coolant flow property
selected from the rate of flow of coolant, a pulsation rate when the coolant is
applied as a pulsating flow, impingement angle and gas content, to achieve a
desired cooling effect. 
     Apparatus for performing such a method is also provided.

Abstract: An acoustic telemetry transducer (12) is formed by an electrical and mechanical combination
of a piezoelectric device (18) and a magnetostrictive device (20). The two devices are
electrically coupled so that their capacitive and inductive reactances approach a balance
to provide an essentially resistive combined input at a selected frequency. Efficiency of
circuits driving the transducer is improved. The devices are mechanically coupled so that
the mechanical outputs add or reinforce each other. Two transducer pairs may be used
in a two frequency telemetry system with each pair tuned to one of the frequencies for
optimal reactance balancing and transduction efficiency. The acoustic telemetry transducer
is useful for borehole logging.

Abstract: In a server unit (300), a clock-time comparator (313) acquires the scheduled
decoding clock-time information for decoding a video packet and RTT for transferring the
video packet to a client unit (400) via a network and computes the time necessary for
retransmitting the video packet on the basis of RTT. If the clock-time comparator (313)
determines that it cannot meet the scheduled decoding clock-time information when the
video packet is retransmitted, a processing unit (314) adds an error correction code to the
video packet and transmits it. If, on the other hand, the clock-time comparator (313)
determines that it can meet the scheduled decoding clock-time information, the processing
unit (314) adds an error detection code to the video packet and transmits it. Thus, either
way can be selected depending on the status of transmission and hence it is possible to
reduce the load of transmitting video data in order to output video data on a stable basis
and improve the processing efficiency.

Abstract: A system interactively controlled by a TV viewer remote control transmitter displays current or future programming information superimposed over the normal programming displayed on any channel accessible to the viewer's display screen. Identification signal data are accessed and generated by the computer for durations defined in the identification signal data either automatically or in response to the TV viewer remote. Information signal data are accessed and generated by the computer in response to the TV viewer remote. A signal combiner superimposes the identification signal or the information signal over the viewer usable signal of any selected channel from the tuner. The identification signal may include data defining an icon or textual matter alerting a viewer to the availability of information data. The information signal may include program descriptive data, schedule data, pricing data and/or payment authorization and recording prompt data and the like sequenced for interactive control of the computer by the viewer. The identification signal may be specially dedicated to a normal programming information channel so that the viewer can interact with respect to specific programs identified without changing from the programming information channel. Thus, the viewer is able to receive an automatic alert to availability of current and future programming and to elect to interactively exercise a variety of options with respect to such current and future programming without interruption of presently viewed programming.

Abstract: When retransmission requests are issued based on the results of error-correction decoding of received data packets to perform data transmission, statistical information indicating whether received data packets have been successfully decoded or have not been decoded is acquired, and based on the rate at which correct decoding has been made or the rate at which correct decoding has not been made, which is obtained from the statistical information, a request is transmitted to the transmission source to change the window size, which is the number of data units handled in a predetermined layer, so that when for example the communication environment is not excellent, processing can be performed at a small window size, and the occurrence of circumstances in which data retransmission and the discarding of received data are repeated can be efficiently prevented. Accordingly, data transmission efficiency in a wireless transmission system performing high-speed data transmission is improved under conditions of a poor radio wave environment.
