摘要:
A method of channel allocation in a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) telecommunications system in which timeslots are allocated to channels such that allocated timeslots form a group which is contiguous in the time domain, thereby reducing the number of bursts which overlap and thus mutually interfere.

A process and an apparatus are described for treatment of a gas containing hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide, for example a Claus plant tail gas, in which the gas is brought into contact with an organic solvent (1) e.g. polyethylene glycol 400, containing a catalyst e.g. sodium salicylate, in at least one gas-liquid reactor-contactor (2) and a gas (20) substantially no longer containing hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide is recovered. A single-phase solution (4) of solvent and sulphur is extracted from the reactor-contactor and a portion is cooled in at least one cooling zone (8) to obtain a suspension of sulphur crystals in the solvent, the crystallised sulphur is separated from the solvent in a separation zone (10), the sulphur-depleted solvent (14, 15) is recovered and recycled at least in part to the reactor-contactor (2), and the sulphur (13) is recovered.

A pretensioner for a vehicle safety restraint, for rapidly reducing slack in a safety restraint belt in the event of a crash situation, the pretensioner comprising a cable (1) connected at one end to a piston (3) at its other end to a belt rewinding mechanism, the piston (3) being slidably moveable in a cylinder (4) under action of pressure from a gas generator (15) sensitive to a crash indicator, wherein means (5) are provided for controlling the rate of acceleration of the cable (1) in the pretensioning direction, in dependence upon the condition of tension in the safety restraint belt which is to be pretensioned. This can be effected by blocking holes in a dividing plate or by using a continuously variable throttle arrangement such as a profiled throttle pin or a hollow space in the piston with a restrictable opening. The invention allows pretensioning forces to be automatically tailored to the requirements at the time of the crash and as a result provides more comfort to the vehicle occupant while maintaining the required strict safety standards.

A data card connector is provided comprising connector contacts (74) for contacting data card contacts (73) to couple the data card contracts (73) to circuitry. The connector contacts (74) are positioned to contact respective data card contacts (73) when the data card (71) is located in the connector (72) in a first orientation (FIG. 7a), and so that only one data card contact (73b) is contacted by any one of them when the data card (71) is located in the connector (72) in a second orientation, 180 degrees rotated from the first (FIG. 7b).
摘要:
A seed-containing growth medium comprising a flexible carrier sheet and a cover sheet overlying the carrier sheet, a plurality of non circular containment zones being defined by contact points between the carrier sheet and cover sheet, at least a selected number of non circular containment zones containing a seed, wherein the physical characteristics of the carrier sheet are different from those of the cover sheet at least in the following respects: the carrier sheet has a higher water retentive capacity than the cover sheet and the cover sheet is more easily penetrated than the carrier sheet.

A portable radio transceiver has a gallium arsenide depletion mode n-channel field-effect transistor as the transmitter power supply amplifier which needs a negative supply applied to its gate to establish the correct working point. A positive power supply provides the power input to the gallium arsenide transistor and a high side switch in the form of a PMOS enhancement mode transistor is used to switch the transmitter on and off. The negative supply is also used to forward bias the gate of the PMOS transistor when conducting so as to reduce its forward conduction resistance thereby enabling a smaller transistor to be used which can be integrated with other low power devices used by the transceiver.
摘要:
An oxygen mask which covers only a patient's nose is attached to the patient by a flexible strap. A clip is attached to the outer surface of the mask to hold the portion of the mask firmly in place relative to the bridge of the patient's nose. An exhaust port is included in the mask. The mask also includes an integral mixing valve for mixing air and gas such as oxygen to achieve a prescribed percentage mixture as may be required for patient therapy. The mixing valve is supported by a support member attached to the mounting strap.

A roll dispenser drawer insert apparatus for convenient storage and dispensing of rolled goods includes a housing that fits within a kitchen drawer. A pair of dowel supports is coupled to a housing left side and a housing right side within a housing inside. A dowel rod is coupled to the pair of dowel supports and secures a rolled good such as, but not limited to, aluminum foil, stretch wrap, wax paper, paper towels, and the like. A lid is hingingly coupled to the housing top side adjacent a housing back side and moves between a closed position covering an open portion of the housing top side and an open position exposing the open portion of the housing top side. A cutter is coupled to a lid underside of the lid adjacent a lid front side of the lid.
