Title: Method of producing a reinforced endless toothed belt with fabric cover
IPC: B29C61/00
Filed: 1979-01-12
Abstract: A method of producing an endless toothed belt of synthetic or plastics material, or similar extrudable material, having a wire- or thread-like reinforcing insert which extends in the circumferential direction of the belt and having a fabric cover covering the toothed side of the belt. A finite belt strand is formed in a closed mold cavity from introduced liquid plastics material and from a fabric strip which is introduced along that shaping surface of the mold cavity which forms the toothed side of the belt strand, thus coating the toothed side of the belt strand with the fabric strip. That side of the belt strand which is remote from the toothed side of the belt is provided with a plurality of grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt strand. The belt strand is then joined at its ends to form an endless ring having its grooved side turned outwardly and having its ends offset laterally relative to one another by the spacing of at least one groove, so that the grooves extend helically on the ring in the circumferential direction thereof. Beginning at one edge of the ring, a reinforcing insert which fits into the grooves is wound into the grooves. The grooved outer side of the ring is then heated in such a manner that, as a result of melting of the plastics material, the reinforcing inserts are fused into the grooves and the grooves are closed to form a smooth outer surface.

Patent GB-2051329-A (GB)
Title: Drying process for casting powders
IPC: B01D12/00
Filed: 1979-06-12
Abstract: Process for removal of residual "processing" solvent from propellant casting powder particles, following their manufacture, which comprises "liquid drying" the particles by contacting them with an organic liquid miscible with the processing solvent but exhibiting substantially no solvent action for the powder particle ingredients with substantially no penetration of the particles. Normally liquid hydrocarbons are exemplary liquid drying solvents of which n- heptane and n-hexane are now preferred. In preferred practice the liquid drying solvent is maintained in substantially complete wetting relationship with the particle surfaces until emplacement of the particles for casting. This eliminates safety hazards involved in conventional heat drying of the green powder and subsequent handling of the resulting dry material.

Title: Automobile luggage rack element and a rack
IPC: B60R9/052
Filed: 1980-05-29
Abstract: An automobile luggage rack comprises two plastics material elements attached at their ends to a roof gutter or other attachment point on the automobile by strap-like fastening members of webbing or rubberised belting. The elements are of a semi-rigid plastics material such as vacuum formed ABS and are made more flexible by having a rib interrupted by recesses which in effect reduce the effective height of the rib (as far as flexibility is concerned in a desired direction) whilst maintaining the normal height at that required.

Title: Adaptive equalizer
IPC: H03H21/00
Filed: 1979-04-12
Abstract: An automatic adaptive equalizer operates on a test pattern including a carrier-only period, a clock-only period and a single test impulse. The equalizer employs a transversal filter under control of a microprocessor 23. Samples Xi and Yi of in-phase and quadrature phase components of the received impulse response are cross-correlated and auto-correlated to form elements of a complex matrix equation describing the optimum equalizer tap settings Cpl and Cql etc. The microprocessor performs a special iterative operation utilizing elements of this equation to rapidly and exactly calculate the optimum initial settings for the tap constants. The clock-only portion of the test pattern is analyzed to set a sampling clock to sample the received impulse so that the tap constant calculation can be carried out within the duration of the received impulse. Initial equalization can be achieved in a time of about 30 milliseconds at a data rate of 9600 bits per second. <IMAGE>
