Abstract: In a DS-CDMA receiver, successively time shifted replicas of a despreading sequence are used to detect correlations with a received chip sequence and resulting correlation sequences are stored in a memory. A correlation sequence having a maximum peak and correlation sequences having side peaks inherently associated with the maximum peak are detected in the memory and all of the detected correlation sequences are removed from the memory. Following this removal, a correlation sequence having a maximum peak is detected from the remaining correlation sequences and the timing of the correlation sequence is determined. A despreading sequence which is delayed in accordance with the determined timing is produced and the chip sequence is despread with the delayed despreading sequence to produce a diversity branch signal.

Abstract: This is a dual-screw extruder for homogenisation, kneading, mixing and plasticising applications. Its casing contains partially-overlapping parallel bores. Shafts are driven round in these, preferably in the same direction. Screws are locked onto the shafts. The shafts also carry intermeshing kneading discs, of which the cross section (13) is illustrated. Each disc, where it intermeshes with the other (30) has circumferential projections (32). These projections cause mixing and stripping of material. Each is reduced in width, relative to the disk width (B). The projections (32, 32') on each disc (13) are axially offset, such that their circumferential sealing surfaces (33) together cover the full width (B) of the disc, hence sweeping the full width of the casing walls.

Abstract: An image encoding apparatus for application to
images expressed as respective frames of a digital video
signal, whereby an image is converted into an array of
blocks with specific blocks predetermined as being
independent internally encoded blocks (D) and the
remainder as predictively encoded blocks (A, B, C), with
predicted pixel signal values for a predictively encoded
block being derived by interpolation from pixel signal
values of at least one pair of blocks which have been
already encoded and enclose that predictively encoded
block along the row or column direction or both the row
and column directions. Encoding efficiency is enhanced
by applying Discrete Sine Transform processing along the
interpolation direction, when encoding an array of
prediction error signal values derived for a block, and
by executing adaptive prediction by determining an
optimum interpolation direction, when there are two
possible directions for deriving predicted pixel signal
values for a block.

Abstract: A molded case circuit breaker (1) has a moving conductor assembly (21) which includes a modular carrier assembly (33) incorporating a plurality of spring biased contact cam members (71) each of which engages contact pressure lobes (129) on a pair of contact arm laminations (27m, 27a) to provide contact pressure. In response to the magnetic repulsion forces generated by a short circuit, the springs (73) compress allowing the cam members (71) to pivot and side step the contact pressure lobes (129) so that the contact arm (27) blows-open with little resistance. The cam members (71) and springs (73) are preassembled in a transverse channel (45) in the carrier body (43) and laterally retained in place by side plates (47) for easier pivotal attachment of the contact arm laminations (27m, 27a) to the lobes (57) on the side plates (47). The side plate lobes (57) raise the contact arm (27) relative to the mass of the carrier (33) to reduce eddy current heating and provide a positive off indication for welded contacts by restricting movement of lower toggle links (67) of the operating mechanism (37) which are coplanar with the side plates (47). A modular crossbar (35) includes molded bearings (79) engaged by or made integral with hexagonal metal shaft (75, 141) sections which extend into hex openings (77) in the carrier bodies (43) of adjacent poles.
