Abstract: A one piece tongue stabilizing device formed of a resiliently flexible material and comprises a body having a hollow interior within which the end of a user's tongue fits and is held by negative pressure. The body of the device comprises an entry portion having an opening to the hollow interior of the device and a bulb portion connected by a narrower diameter neck portion. Tabs extend from the bulb portion which in use engage the exterior of the user's face around the user's mouth or between the user's teeth and lips, to hold the tongue forward to assist in opening user's airway and reducing snoring. A major benefit of the device of the invention is that it does not require specialist fitting or the taking of upper and lower jaw impressions of the patient to produce a tailored device for the patient.

Abstract: The current invention relates to a cellular communication system. Known communication systems performs cell selection based on measurements of downlink pilot signal levels. However, this is inefficient as uplink conditions can have significant impact on the performance. In the current invention a subscriber unit (300) comprises receiving means (305) for receiving uplink characteristics information transmitted from a target set of base stations (201,203). The subscriber unit (300) further comprises base station selection means (309) for determining at least one serving base station in response to said uplink characteristics information, and transmitting means (311) for accessing the cellular communication system through said at least one serving base station. Preferably, the subscriber unit (300) comprises means for calculating an access message transmit power level and the base station having the lowest calculated access message transmit power level is selected. The invention is particularly applicable to 3rd generation cellular communication systems such as UMTS.

Abstract: The invention concerns friction contact devices, such as pantographs, used for transferring electric current from a fixed electrical conductor, such as a catenary, to a stopped or moving railway car. More particularly, the invention concerns the friction element ( or  friction strip ) of friction contact devices. The inventive friction strip is characterised in that its wear strip (2) comprises, entirely or partially, a carbon/carbon composite material (C/C), optionally impregnated with a metal such as copper or an alloy containing copper. The inventive friction strips are considerably less fragile than those of prior art based on graphite impregnated with copper. They also have a much higher wear resistance than those of prior art.

Abstract: A charge-based frequency measurement BIST (CF-BIST) for clock circuits and oscillator circuits is described that requires no outside test stimulus and produces a digital test output. The CF-BIST technique performs structural and defect-oriented testing and uses existing blocks to save die area. The technique adds a multiplexer to the non-sensitive digital path. The system uses the existing VCO as the measuring device and divide-by-N as a frequency counter to reduce the area overhead. The described technique produces an efficient pass/fail evaluation, low-cost and practical implementation of on-chip BIST structure.

Abstract: The thermal power P is determined by passing the gas through a flowmeter (7) of standardized thermal mass, receiving informa from the flowmeter, calculating the Wobbe index for the gas, and calculating the lower (or upper) thermal power by multiplying t received information by the lower (or upper) calorific value of the reference gas and by a refining function using the gas Wobbe index The flowmeter is calibrated for the reference gas. The thermal power of the gas is regulated to a power P0, and the flow is regulated to a value Q0 equal to (1+x)P/K where x is the excess of fuel and K is a constant depending on the fuel. The reference gas is methane, propane or butane. The fuel gas is a natural gas and the refining function is f(W) = aW+b where a is 0.035-0.050 and b is 0.30-0.45. A combustion meter is used to determine the Wobbe index of the gas, or the Wobbe index is calcul from the results of the chemical analysis of the gas.   Independent claims are also included for the following: (i) a device for carrying out this process, containing a flowmeter (7), a means (6) of determining the Wobbe index of the g means (20) of receiving the information from the flowmeter and the means of determining the Wobbe index, and means of calculatin the thermal power; and (ii) a method of characterizing a flowmeter using a linear equation FGC/GC0(PCGC/PCGC0) = aWGC + b, where a and b are coefficients which are calculated using the above equation. FGC/GC0 is the correction factor to be applied to the flow rate prov by the flowmeter for a known flow of reference gas and PCGC/PCGC0 is the ratio of thermal power between the fuel gas and the reference gas. The coefficients are calculated by calculating or measuring the Wobbe index, a thermal power and the correction factor for a statistically significant number of constituents of the fuel gas. a and b are determined by plotting the product XG FGCi/GC0(PCGCi/PCGC0) and carrying out a linear regression.
