Title: A thermally-actuated control mechanism
Inventor: BACKHAM MICHAEL
IPC: G01K11/06
Filed: 2000-09-01
Abstract: The mechanism, for controlling the drive mechanism of a damper shield in an air ventilation duct, has a member 12, disposed in the duct with fusible material 13 that fuses at a predetermined temperature, and connected to a latch arm 21 by a bowden cable 16a. The latch arm 21 is moveable between a first latching position where it engages with a locking member 24 of the drive mechanism and a second non-latching position. A spring 29 biases the latch member 21 into the second position. A mounting plate 11 is affixed by the fusible material 13 to the member 12 and is secured to a wall of the conduit so as to ensure the member 12 is in a predetermined position relative to the wall. When the fusible material 13 has not melted or fused the bowden cable 16a applies tension so that the latch arm is held against the force of the spring 29 in the first position. When the fusible material 13 fuses or melts or the mounting plate 11 is not secured to the wall of the conduit the tension in the bowden cable is released and the latch arm moves to said second position.

Title: Cards for use in card games
Inventor: HERMAN RICHARD IAN
IPC: A63F9/10
Filed: 2001-01-06
Abstract: Cards for use in card games have respective portions relating to different games. Thus, cards may have designs for different games on opposite faces, and/or may have faces divided horizontally, vertically, obliquely or quartered in order to cater for different games, Figs 1 to 9. Typically, sets of cards may have portions with normal numerical suits, portions with images for matching games such as "snap", portions for "happy families" and portions for use in fit-together puzzle games (Fig 13, not shown). Cards can also have slits in their edges for use in three-dimensional building games (Fig 10, not shown). Each card can have a trade mark or non-playing subject matter in corners to be visible when a pack is fanned out. The order of cards for one game should not follow the order for a second game and the design, print or manufacturing runs preferably produce unique packs of cards so that the designs for different games are associated differently from pack to pack, making it more difficult for players to know what might be in an opponent's hand by viewing the back of cards. Although games using different portions are usually independent, it is possible to have one game played in dependence of another; it is also possible for the different fields to relate to psychological testing and not to games contexts.

Title: Short range base stations connected to main power wiring
Inventor: EDWARDS GARETH ANTHONY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: Short range RF base stations 64, 70, preferably Bluetooth, are connected to the main power wiring 80 to provide RF coverage in an area of interest, preferably within a building. The main power wiring connected short range base stations 64, 70 may be in the form of light bulb adapters (fig. 6) or power plug elements (fig. 7). A mobile communications network servicing an area of a building connects mobile and fixed terminals located withing the serviced area to each other and to the outside world. LAN 25 connected base stations 20 and main power wiring connected base stations 64, 70 are provided for creating complete in-building RF coverage, with the main power wiring base stations 64, 70 extending the coverage area provided by the LAN 25 connected base stations 20. The main power wiring 80 may be used to carry communications between main power wiring connected base stations 64, 70 and other power connected devices, including WAN connections (75, fig. 8). Alternatively (fig. 10) the information may be wirelessly transferred from any base station to a base station in the same piconet, or to a base station in an overlapping piconet. The arrangement may be used to enable a mobile user within the building to be notified of calls via a two-way pager 100, allowing an appropriate response such as directing the call to the nearest telephone and to enable users to access files on a personal computer, e.g. appointments and tasks. Use of existing wiring eliminates need for specialised wiring.

Title: Standoff compensation for borehole logging
Inventor: MICKAEL MEDHAT W
IPC: G01V/
Filed: 2001-05-14
Abstract: A nuclear logging-while-drilling measuring systems, and the correction of the formation property measurements for adverse effects of instrument standoff from the borehole wall, is disclosed. Detector responses for one or more downhole detectors are sampled and recorded over a time segment. The response samples are then sorted by magnitude, and a running integral of the sorted samples as a function of time is performed over the time segment. Linear segments are then fitted to the running integral, wherein each straight line segment is a function of one or more formation properties, and also a function of the standoff distance of the detector from the borehole wall. Segments are then combined to obtain a measure of one or more formation properties of interest, where the adverse effects of borehole standoff are minimized. Standoff magnitude is also obtained. No independent caliper of the borehole is required to perform the standoff correction.

Title: Preventing overspeeding of i.c. engine by actuating a compression release brake and disabling fuel injection
Inventor: DEGROOT JEFFREY L
IPC: F01L13/08
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: The engine has a plurality of cylinders and a compression brake operable on one or more of the cylinders. The method includes determining a speed of the engine, comparing the engine speed to a first threshold (eg 2300 rpm for a 15 litre engine), and, if the engine speed exceeds the first threshold, disabling fuel injection to each cylinder (eg by acting on solenoid-actuated hydraulic valves) and activating the compression brake for at least one of the cylinders. The engine is thus better protected from overspeeding, eg during gear downshifting, than by conventional systems based on the speed/acceleration of the vehicle. Actuation of the compression brake may be in response to a manual command eg from a braking switch; manual actuation occurs if engine speed is greater than a manual actuation threshold (eg 1350 rpm) and continues until engine speed falls below a deactivation threshold (eg 900 rpm). The compression brake may be actuated if engine <I>acceleration</I> exceeds a desired threshold (eg 400 rpm/second). Compression braking may be disengaged if the engine is cold.

Title: Congestion relief in a system supporting speech and data communication
Inventor: GIL JOSE LUIS
IPC: H04W36/14
Filed: 2002-11-23
Abstract: In a system supporting both speech and data communication, cell congestion is relieved by adjustment of the speech communication. A wireless communication system 200 provides a number of communication resources for a plurality of mobile stations 112, 114, 212, 214; the resources comprising at least two operational modes where a first operational mode supports substantially speech communication, e.g. GSM circuit-switched calls, and a second operational mode supports substantially data communication, e.g. GPRS packet-switched calls. Upon receiving a trigger, the system initiates a congestion relief mechanism that adapts the provision of speech communications to make available sufficient communication resource. The trigger may comprise for example, a data communication resource request 224 that is unable to be supported by the communication system, an operator-generated trigger based on a level of data communication resource to be supported, a newly requested speech call or an incoming handover of a speech or data call. The adaptation of the speech provision may comprise cell handover of the speech communication 118  T  218, moving the speech communication to an idle traffic channel, switching an operational band of a multi-band mobile or changing a mobile's operational codec. The congestion relief mechanism is able to maintain a GPRS data communication quality of service (QoS) and a GSM grade of service (GoS).
