Title: Method for producing colored print transfer patches.
Inventor: LIU CHEN-JUN
IPC: B41M3/12
Filed: 1992-10-13
Abstract: A method for producing colored print transfer patches which can produce colorful prints with good air permeability when transferred to the surface of clothes is particularly adapted for producing print transfer patches which are able to be quickly and readily applied to common fabric clothes by way of appropriate heat and pressure using an ordinary iron. Three layers of glue-like transparent film with various high and low melting temperatures are applied to an art paper of 100-150 pounds/0.1 m<3> in a series of steps. After the films are coated and dried, colored prints can be applied to the surface of the print transfer patches according to personal preference. Then an iron can be used to apply heat and pressure to the print transfer patches to transfer the colored print from the patches to the surface of clothes in 7-15 seconds.

Title: High availability leased lines
Inventor: MAUGER ROY HAROLD
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 1993-01-22
Abstract: A leased-line network architecture comprises two pools of circuits connectible via a series connection of a first access system (1), a cross-connect (3) and a second access system (1). To monitor the performance of the user paths in this series connection path overheads (POHs) similar to those provided by SDH are used. These POHs are carried as CAS bits in a path separate from a traffic path (Fig. 2). In the even of unacceptable performance of the series connection user paths, a back-up connection involving a PSTN switch (2) is employed. A CRC syndrome method of framing is used for framing the POH path and for establishing the framing relation between the CAS bits on the POH path and the traffic path. <IMAGE>

Title: Sustained release morphine compositions
Inventor: MILLER RONALD BROWN
IPC: A61K9/28
Filed: 1993-11-23
Abstract: An orally administered sustained release dosage unit form containing morphine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as active ingredient, which composition gives a peak plasma level at from 1.0 to 6 hours after administration. The morphine dosage form is suitable for once-a-day administration. It is preferably in the form of a capsule filled with pellets comprising morphine and a hydrophobic release control material such as a natural or synthetic wax or oil e.g. hydrogenated vegetable or castor oil.

Title: Halogen lamp circuit with safety switch
Inventor: POELLET WILFRIED
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 1994-07-11
Abstract: An article 19, e.g. a door edge, which comes too close to a halogen lamp 13 and risks burning is sensed by photodetectors 21 responsive to reflected light 22 which is guided 20 thereto and actuates one or more of a plurality of switch-off devices 14 to interrupt or reduce the lamp supply. Periodic checking can be effected in respect of the operational readiness of the switch-off control arrangement by way of test signals which from time to time after the light is switched on simulate sensor actuation of the switch-off devices or even excite the sensors by way of a separate radiation source as a substitute reflection radiation, but without thereby influencing the feed for the lamp. Alternatively the current function of the switch-off devices which operate in parallel is monitored by comparison logic means to ascertain whether they always have the same steady-state operating behaviour. In the event of irregularities in function a fuse element 31, for example in the control circuit for the working contact relay 17 upstream of the halogen lamp, can then be burnt out in order definitively to put that light out of operation; or the whole lamp supply is prevented by a transformer 42 being switched off on the load side. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2307871-A (GB)
Title: Preparing a veterinary formulation
Inventor: BURKE MICHAEL HILARY
IPC: B01F3/12
Filed: 1995-12-06
Abstract: A process for formulating aqueous anthelmintic compositions, particularly of active anthelmintic agents which are not water soluble, on the industrial scale is disclosed. A batch vessel of at least 3,000 litres - typically 10,000 litres - is first filled with a predetermined quantity of water. Veterinary formulation excipients are then added to an additive hopper and the excipients emulsified in the water by circulation through a homogeniser and the batch vessel. A veterinary active ingredient, such as a benzimidazole anthelmintic, is then added to the additive hopper and emulsified in the mixture. Further water may be added to the vessel to bring the batch volume to a required concentration. A fenbendazole or an oxfendazole formulation may be prepared in this way.

Title: Mounting a skinned panel in a frame using a packing device
Inventor: MASON DAVID
IPC: E06B3/78
Filed: 1996-06-17
Abstract: A door structure comprises a rectangular frame 14 within which is mounted a rectangular panel 10 comprising two thin surface skins 12 bonded to opposite sides of a central core 11. There is mounted on at least one edge of the core a packing device 19 which spaces that edge from an adjacent frame member 15. The packing device 19 is integrally formed with parallel barbed flanges 21 which wedge into the core of the panel. The base 20 of the packing device 19 is narrower than the core of the panel so that it is free of engagement with the skins 12 of surfacing material. The skins are therefore free to expand and contract relative to the core without engaging the packing device. The packing device may be adjustable in thickness.
Patent GB-2305017-A (GB)
Title: Antenna tuning controller
Inventor: KOBAYASHI YASUHIRO
IPC: H04B1/26
Filed: 1996-08-23
Abstract: An antenna tuner 2 is controlled by a detector 5 responsive to electric field intensity and coupled to the output of a radio section 3. Controller 6 uses stored values 9,10 to determine whether antenna 1 and radio section 3 have been impedance matched and whether decoding is possible. When mixed modulation may be erroneously determined to be a signal to be received, the controller checks whether the received signal is a signal to be received. When the received signal is not a signal to be received, the controller turns off the antenna tuner 2 to prevent impedance matching between the antenna side impedance and the radio section side impedance. When the received signal is a signal to be received, the receiver turns on the antenna tuner for the impedance matching between the two impedances.

Title: Disk loading apparatus uses pin arm and guide slot in drawer
Inventor: LYMAN ROY PATRICK
IPC: G11B17/24
Filed: 1996-11-21
Abstract: Multiple compact disk carousel mechanism for a CD player has a loading mechanism employing the combination of a motorised rotational pin arm 128 having a pin 130, and a guide slot 202 in the underside of loading drawer 130. Rotation of the arm 128 causes the pin 130 to interact with the boundary walls of the guide slot 202 enabling drawer opening, closing, and locking in the open and closed positions. The rotational arm 128 is coupled to a rotatable locking index 114, rotation of which causes raising and lowering of pickup bracket 104 so that a disk from a platter (142, fig. 1) may be raised and lowered to and from a playing position. The improved design obviates the need for prior art rack and pinion gears for drawer movement, and also obviates the need for separate prior art drawer lock-in and drawer lock-out mechanisms (requiring additional springs, levers and gears).
