  • Patent number: 4553702
    Abstract: A modular fluid spraying system including: at least one container for the fluid or fluids to be sprayed the container being fluid plug connectable to at least one fluid pumping which is in turn fluid plug connectable to at least one boom section, the boom section carrying fluid supply connections and being fluid plug connectable to other boom sections and to at least one sprayhead assembly detachably securable to the said boom section or sections; and at least one electronic data processing circuit electrically plug-connectable to the system and pre-set so as to regulate at least one electrically responsive operating parameter of the system when the system is connected to a source of electrical power in use; whereby various numbers of containers and/or various numbers of boom sections may be added or subtracted to the system to achieve a desired combination of fluid delivery and spray area.

  • Patent number: 4123724
    Abstract: A television receiver is provided comprising a variable frequency local oscillator and frequency synthesizer control means for controlling the frequency of the variable frequency local oscillator in accordance with the setting of variable divider means for effecting channel or frequency tuning of said receiver, the frequency synthesis control means comprising first divider means operable on the output of the variable frequency local oscillator, the first divider means being set to one of a plurality of division ratios under the control of fine tuning means associated therewith, variable divider means operable on the output of the first divider means, and phase/frequency comparator means for comparing the output of the variable divider means with a reference frequency and for affording a control signal to the variable frequency local oscillator for controlling its frequency.
