Abstract: A phase-locked digital synthesiser comprises a voltage-­controlled oscillator (6) supplying a frequency divider (7) the output of which is fed to a phase-sensitive detector (9) also receiving an input from a reference oscillator (10). The output of the detector (9) is fed back by a feedback loop to the voltage-controlled oscillator (6) to achieve phase-locking. The divider (7) receives an input from a logic circuit (8) to control the division ratio of the divider (7), the logic circuit being prompted by a control signal which is also used to select one of a plurality of loop filters (12,13) connected for selectable use in the feedback loop from the detector (9) to the voltage controlled oscillator (6), the selected loop filter being appropriate to the prompted division ratio. Other embodiments include compensating means to correct a loop phase error arising from a change in the division ratio.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuously operable tool for use in a production line process, and to a process using one or more such tools. The tool is capable of handling a plurality of workpieces simultaneously and comprises a rotatable assembly such as a drum having a series of workpiece handling stations spaced around its periphery. Workpieces are picked up one by one on the drum as each handling station passes a pick-up point during each revolution of the drum. Each workpiece is carried round on the drum until it reaches an exit point, where it is transported away from the drum. Each workpiece handling station includes at least one workpiece manipulation device which reciprocates back and forth between an inoperative position and an operative position in which it operatively engages a workpiece at the station between the pick-up point and the exit point.

Abstract: Electrical signals are produced by a pressure-responsive device, such signals being indicative of the position of locally applied pressure. The device comprises a position sensor assembly which comprises a composite layer medium including electrically conductive magnetic particles (34) in a nonconductive matrix material (35). The medium is sandwiched between contact assemblies (71). The particles (34) are aligned into chains extending across the thickness of the layer, and chains include a non-­conductive gap (e.g. an air space or a nonconducting layer at least on particles (34) nearest the contact assemblies) which is bridged upon application of sufficient pressure. The resulting assembly may be transparent as is advantageous in writing pad and touch-sensitive screen applications. The pressure-­responsive device is suitable, e.g., as an input device in graphics information systems, in combination with transmission and display facilities.

Abstract: High levels of immunity are achieved in chickens inoculated intramuscularly or orally with  E.   acervulina  extract immunogens. These extracts contain at least 20 polypeptides which induce a pro­tective immune response not only against  E.   acervulina  but also against  E.   tenella  and  E.   maxima . The resulting immunity prevents intestinal lesions and reduces the number of viable oocysts in vaccinated and challenged birds. One or more of these poly­peptides can be used as an immunogen to protect against coccidiosis.

Abstract: A memory cell that allows simultaneous writing into the cell and reading from the cell includes a cross-coupled latch (10) in which two pairs of a load transistor (12, 14) and a pull-down transistor (20, 24) are connected at respective first and second coupling points (16, 18). However, the feedback path from the first coupling point (16) to the gate electrode of the pull-down transistor (24) of the other pair passes through a feedback transistor (30) which can thus selectively open this feedback path. In any access to the memory cell, the feedback path is interrupted. Any one of a plurality of write signals (WP1, WP2) can be impressed upon the gate electrode of the thus separated pull down transistor (24). Simultaneously, the signal on the first coupling point (16) can be selectively impressed upon any combination of a plurality of read lines (58, 60, 62). If a simultaneous writing and reading is being performed, the write signal passes immediately through the memory cell to the read lines.

Abstract: In a TV answer back system where many receiver stations communicate with a TV transmitter station by means of rf pulses generated by rf oscillators at the receiver station, the requirement for keeping all oscillators on frequency is achieved without crystal control by automatically controlling the rf oscillator frequency using synchronization signals carried in the video signal received from the TV studio. By this invention it has been possible to control the frequency of multiple megahertz oscillator as accurately as desired from relatively low frequency synchronizing signals such as the vertical and horizontal video sync pulses. Thus an oscillations counter is gated for a very accurate time period by the sync pulses, and the oscillation count is compared with a datum count representing the desired oscillation frequency. 
     The requirement to prevent receiver stations from answering with rf pulses in response to queries contained in home video recordings of previously broadcast signals is achieved by encoding broadcast time on all query containing TV transmissions, and by comparing at receiver stations broadcast time information from received signal with time from a local battery backed clock contained at each receiver station, thus discrimination of video recordings is possible by comparing received video broadcast time with local time.
