Patent BR-9914485-A (BR)
Inventor: ROSENMAYER VOLKER
IPC: H01M8/1004
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: Not all gas diffusion structures known to date can guarantee water balance compensation in the fuel cell, protection against drying and prevention of water deposits while simultaneously ensuring even distribution of reaction gases. In the gas diffusion structure, according to the invention, a gradient is produced in terms of gas permeability perpendicular to the membrane by way of a stratified system. This guarantees, at an appropriate operating temperature and appropriate stoichiometry of the reactants, constant and optimal humidification in all points of the membrane by the formed product water. Additional humidification systems can thus be discarded.

Patent CH-516954-A (CH)
Title: Preadjusting cold-rolling mill nip control
Inventor: LAUTENSCHLAEGER HELMUT DIPL IN
IPC: B21B37/64
Filed: 1970-08-04
Abstract: Input strip thickness is measured, and variations are determined by a comparator. A delay for the control signal compensates the passage time from the measurement point to the nip. A weighing device compensates for the deformation resistance of the material and the mill stand consts in determining nip spacing. The latter device forms the control value y = KQx (where K = a const for the stand; Q= a measure of the deformation resistance; and x depends on the input thickness) Q is applied from a memory to a multiplier circuit as a function of the control circuit, using an arithmetical operator to give Q = Pw/(hE-hA), where Pw = the rolling force, and hE and hA are the strip thickness at input and exit.

Patent GB-2353197-A (GB)
Title: Adjustable length leash
Inventor: TRACY RICHARD JOSEPH
IPC: B65H75/06
Filed: 2000-08-01
Abstract: An adjustable length leash (10) includes a handle portion (11) having a grip (13) and a neck (20) extending from the grip (13) for taking up undesired length in the lead (12). The lead (12) may be attached to the neck (20) by being knotted through an aperture (22, not shown). A minor flange (32) provided at the top of the neck (20) helps retain the loops of the lead (12) on the neck (20) to achieve a desired lead length. A catch flange (30) is capable of catching the lead (12) at the bottom of the neck (20) such that one who utilizes the leash (10) may adjust the length of the lead (12) by winding the lead (12) around the neck (20) until the desired length extends from catch flange (30). The catch flange (30) includes a lead lock (36) which allows for a more secure fixing of the lead (12) length. The grip (13) is angled with respect to the neck (20) such that no matter at which length the lead (12) is retained, the forces exerted on the lead (12) are focused substantially straight through the wrist and arm of one using the leash (10) thereby substantially eliminating any torque upon the user's wrist.

Title: Folded portable telephone with LED indicating reception status
Inventor: AOKI HIROKAZU
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2000-08-09
Abstract: When a foldable portable telephone is folded, an LED is used to enable a user to determine whether or not the telephone is in-range and can be used. A foldable telephone has an LED (12, fig. 3b) arranged in a position in which it is visible to a user when the telephone is folded. Preferably, the LED is also visible to the user when the telephone is unfolded (12, fig. 3a). A receiving section receives a signal transmitted from a base terminal station S102 and a control unit controls the lighting of the LED according to the received signal. Preferably, the LED is lit in a first lighting pattern (e.g. continuously off) when the strength or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, indicating inner zone status S107 and lit in a second lighting pattern (e.g. continuously on) when the strength or SNR is below the predetermined value, indicating outer zone status S108. A third lighting pattern (e.g. on/off) may be used when the receiving section receives an incoming call from the base terminal station S106. The first and second lighting patterns may be reversed and there may be a liquid crystal display arranged to be visible only when the telephone is unfolded (13, fig 3a).

Title: Correcting local oscillator frequency offset in a direct sequence spread spectreceiver
Inventor: BOLOORIAN MAJID
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2000-09-20
Abstract: Received signals comprise a plurality of sequential slots of data, at least one of which includes synchronisation data. A correlation is performed between this received data and a locally stored synchronisation code. Subsequently, the received data is phase adjusted and a further correlation performed between the phase adjusted data and the locally stored synchronisation code. The strongest correlation peak is then determined and a frequency offset to be applied to the local oscillator is estimated from the phase adjustment required to produce the strongest peak. This is subsequently applied to the local oscillator.

Patent GB-2368951-A (GB)
Title: User authentication
Inventor: CHRISTODOULIDES LOUIS
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2000-12-14
Abstract: An authentication system requires a user of e.g. a mobile telephone (10) to generate a signal e.g. a biometric measurement of a physical characteristic of the user e.g. fingerprint. This biometric measurement is transmitted, possibly as part of a digitally signed and encrypted message, to a remote service provider (11) where the biometric measurement is compared with a biometric template measurement of the same physical characteristic, stored for the person. The verification process produces an output which identifies the characteristic from which the biometric measurement was taken and which also gives the results of the comparison (e.g. score). A third party (12) receives this information, possibly as part of a digital certificate, and either authenticates the person or not, depending on the information. This could be used for remote transactions between the user and the third party (12).
