Title: Train door control system
Inventor: SWEENEY BRIAN ROBERT
IPC: B61D19/02
Filed: 2006-02-14
Abstract: A system for controlling the operation of the doors (32) of a railway train, consists of two parts. Firstly, the system provides radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags (18, 20) installed adjacent to each end of each platform (14, 16), the tags (18, 20) being coded with different data which may be interpreted as "door closed" and "door released" respectively. Secondly, there are radio transmitter/receiver units (34) on each side of each carriage (24) in the train to detect the tags (18, 20), these units being mounted on the train in the vicinity of each door (32), and providing an electrical output signal to control opening of that door. This can enable longer trains to be operated, without risk of passengers disembarking where there is no platform adjacent to the train.

Title: Calling a remote telephone by doorbell activation and controlling entrance to a building from the remote telephone.
Inventor: CORNELIUS BEN
IPC: H04M11/02
Filed: 2006-04-12
Abstract: A communication device transmitting an alarm signal to a remote location, receiving a reply signal from the remote location; characterised by an interface for receiving an input of at least one telephone id parameter (telephone number), communicating with a telephone network and outputting a message received from the telephone network. Aspects of the invention include the alarm signal comprising of sound (bell, chime) vibration or light, and the message received from the telephone network used to unlock the entrance to the building. Thus, if the occupier of a building does not acknowledge a doorbell chime within a certain time, the communication device displays options to the user, which may be a name, desk number, job title or image of the contact. This is matched to a unique identifier (telephone number) of the contact. The communication device connects through the telephone network to the contact's telephone. Pressing the doorbell will sound an alarm at the telephone of the selected contact. If they answer, communication between the user and the occupier is set up and the user can be granted access to the building.

Title: Motorized roller controller
Inventor: NAGAI YOSHINORI
IPC: H02H7/085
Filed: 2006-08-01
Abstract: A motorised roller 11 incorporating a driving motor 7 and a motor driving circuit 1 comprises a lock detecting means 4 adapted to detect a lock of either motor 7 or the roller 11 and a power control means 5 adapted to reduce the electric power supplied to the driving motor upon detection of the lock. The lock may comprise a lock of rotation or a temporary jam of the roller 11 and/or an overload of the motor 7 and may result in overheating of either the motor 7 or the driver circuit 1. Continuing to supply power for a few seconds may allow clearance of the jam. The power may be reduced in steps (fig 3, C,D,E) and may be achieved by a reduction of voltage. Power may be supplied intermittently (fig 3 E-F) depending on the number of times a lock is detected. The motor 7 may be incorporated within the roller 11 and comprise a brushless motor employing Hall ICs that produce pulses that are used to control the motor driving current and, when missing for a time may be used to detect a motor lock condition. The roller 7 may be used to drive a conveyor (fig 4) transporting a load W.

Title: Optical Disc with laser writable label and a laser print head
Inventor: MILES ANTHONY
IPC: G11B7/24
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: The disc 1 has a label side 3 including a laser reactive material 3b for forming the label image, and a tracking format that can be tracked by a writing laser in a similar way to a data writing operation. An optical disk label writing method for writing a label on an optical disc uses a similar writing operation to that used to write data to the disc. A computer program is provided for converting a label image to a disk image file for writing to the label side. The label side can also have control data identifying the label side as a data writable side. The label side can include pixels P of different colours that are larger than the resolution of the data writing means so the intensity of each pixel is controllable according to a number of writing operation in that area. The pixels can have intermittent gaps to facilitate the operation of the drive. The label may be written using a standard optical disc drive. A laser writing print head (4) of a printer has a housing (6) and laser emitting array (5a-n) that emits simultaneously at least two beams of laser light onto a laser reactive media.

Title: End effector and methods for constructing composite members
Inventor: KISCH ROBERT A
IPC: B29C70/32
Filed: 2008-05-28
Abstract: An end effector, and methods for constructing composite members, comprises a compaction roller 22 and a redirect roller 40 which translate synchronously along the compaction axis. An arrangement of spools and rollers directs tow to the redirect roller at substantially a right angle to the compaction axis. Consequently, movement of the compaction roller along the compaction axis induces little, if any, changes in tow tension resulting in substantially constant tow tension which reduces rewinding of the tow supply spools. Preferably a plurality of tow supply spools is arranged radially around corresponding redirect rollers. Backing may be removed from the tow by backing take-up spools 36, and dancer rollers may direct the tow and maintain its tension. The effector may be used for aircraft construction, maintenance, modification or repair.
