Title: Toroidal continuously- variable transmission
Inventor: YOSHIDA TAKEO
IPC: F16H37/02
Filed: 1997-05-23
Abstract: An input shaft 1 drives a toroidal-disc tilting-roller CVT T through a planetary forward and reverse gear 14 and a loading cam device 12, coaxially arranged. A fixed wall member 17 between the planetary gear unit 14 and the loading cam device 12 rotatably supports the planetary gear unit 14. The sun gear 14s of the planetary gear unit is directly connected to the input 9 of the loading cam device through teeth 18 and 19. A clutch 15 directly connects the input shaft 1 to the sun gear 14s for forward drive and a brake 16 holds the ring gear 14r for reverse. Lubrication of the planet gears 14p is from an annular space within the sun gear communicating by radially outwardly-extending passages therethrough (Fig. 2). The planetary gear unit may have pairs of meshing planetary pinions (Fig. 3)

Title: Strip for installing vinyl floor covering
Inventor: JENNINGS PETER ALEXANDER
IPC: E03F5/04
Filed: 1997-07-16
Abstract: A strip (2) has a groove (8) running along its length adjacent an upstanding member (4). A bead (10) of weldable PVC material is seated in the groove (8).

Each tooth 25 has inner and outer ends 33,35, leading and trailing flanks 27,29, and a crest 31 transversely connecting the ends 33,35 and flanks 27,29. A thickness of wear-resistant material 36 is applied over the crest 31 and at least a portion of the ends 33,35 and flanks 27,29 of the tooth. An extra layer of wear-resistant material 37 is applied at the intersection of the leading flank 27 and the outer end 35 to provide twice the hard-facing thickness and increased wear-resistance in that area of the tooth that is subjected to the greatest wear. The extra layer of hard-facing material 37 is preferably applied to an indent made at the intersection of the leading flank 27 and the outer end 35 (see figures 3 and 4). Said extra layer 37 is applied using an oxyacetylene torch 38 and hard facing rods 39 and should be applied as rapidly as possible after initial hard facing layer 36.

Title: Data processing system diagnostics
Inventor: ORR FRANCIS MARTIN
IPC: G06F11/273
Filed: 1997-08-08
Abstract: For remotely-initiated diagnostic testing of a file server system(40), diagnostics test code is stored in non-volatile memory (50) in the system. A diagnostic test indicator in the form of a flag in CMOS RAM(51) is set by a signal from a control computer (10), remote from the file server system, to request that diagnostics testing be performed on the file server. When the file server system is rebooted, the CMOS flag is checked and, if found to be set, a diagnostics handler in the power-on self-test code is invoked to transfer the diagnostics test code from flash ROM (50) to the server RAM (48). Diagnostic testing is then performed. When the diagnostic tests are complete, and the results have been logged in a results buffer in the server, the code causes the flag to be reset, and the server to be rebooted. The results are transferred, on request, to the remote control computer for analysis.

Title: CDMA service detection circuit
Inventor: FRANK COLIN D
IPC: H04W92/10
Filed: 1998-01-20
Abstract: A radiotelephone 121 employs a service detection circuit 125 comprising at least one chip-rate detector 109 that measures the energy of the autocorrelation of a received composite CDMA signal and employs a different time delay for each measurement of the energy. A threshold detection circuit 127 combines the measured energies and determines that service is available if the combined energies exceeds a threshold, and determines service is unavailable otherwise. The chip-rate detectors 109 can be coupled in parallel to provide simultaneous measurements of the energy of the autocorrelation of the received composite CDMA signal, or a single chip-rate detector 109 can serially measure the energy of the autocorrelation of the received composite CDMA signal.

Patent GB-2344198-A (GB)
Title: Storing reference information
Inventor: PARK JU-HA
IPC: H04N5/91
Filed: 1999-09-03
Abstract: Reference information, such as an electronic program guide (EPG), is alternately stored in two memories 62, 64. Flags are used to indicate which memory currently stores up-to-date data, this memory being used to read out information for use. When an update is downloaded, it is downloaded into the other memory and then the flags are switched. Should a power failure occur during downloading, this means the flags have not been switched and so the uncorrupted original data is still intact and accessible for reading. A single flag together with recording and reading path setting units may be used. The two memories may be separate devices or different regions in a single memory device.

Title: Electric converter circuit
Inventor: ATTWOOD BRIAN ERNEST
IPC: H02M3/158
Filed: 1999-11-01
Abstract: An electric converter circuit comprises a transformer L1 having first and second magnetically coupled inductors, a first switch q1 which is connected to the first inductor, a second switch q2 which is connected to the second inductor so a to be turned on and off by the second inductor, and a timing circuit for connection to the first switch for turning the first switch on and off.

Title: Waterproof clothing
Inventor: BOURNE CRAIG HAYDEN
IPC: A41D31/02
Filed: 1999-11-23
Abstract: Clothing with layers of materials that provide a waterproof layer and prevent condensation occurring inside the clothing. The outer layer is breathable and prevents most of the rain entering the clothing. The next layer is an insulating material that is not adversely affected by water and does not hold water. The next layer is a waterproof none breathable membrane. The inner layer is for comfort. The principle is that the membrane is the waterproof layer and is on the inside of the insulation. Therefore moist warm air on the inside of this layer will not reach its dew point and thus will not condense.

Title: Dye doped liquid crystal device
Inventor: TATARKOVA SVETLANA
IPC: G02F1/139
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: A liquid crystal device comprises a dye doped nematic liquid crystal material in a homeotropic orientation in which a permanent diffraction pattern is written at an angle to the director axis. Liquid crystal material is contained between two transparent plates. A single alignment layer is applied to one of the transparent plates in order to generate the homeotropic alignment. The efficiency of the diffraction by the pattern in the liquid crystal layer can be controlled by the application of an AC electric field across the liquid crystal material and the liquid crystal panel can be tuned by heating the liquid crystal material to change the refractive index.
