Title: Sprinkler head
Inventor: SHIM DAE-MIN
IPC: A62C37/08
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: A sprinkler head includes a deflector attached to a first housing in a sealing-available manner; a locking unit for maintaining a sealing state between the deflector and the first housing; and a heat collecting unit exposed from the ceiling and reacted to heat when a fire breaks out. A locking groove is formed in a circumferential direction at an inner side with a prescribed height from a lower surface of a second housing and an air flow collecting portion is formed at a lower portion of the second housing to collect air flow heated when a fire breaks out and generates a swirl flow. The exposure distance of the sprinkler head from the ceiling surface is minimized so as to be protected from an external impact, and a reaction speed in case of occurrence of a fire can be faster for a prompt fire suppression.
Patent GB-2405061-A (GB)
Title: Multirate digital transceiver
Inventor: AL-ADNANI ADNAN
IPC: H04L27/00
Filed: 2001-12-05
Abstract: In a multirate digital transceiver a signal for transmission is processed by (a) applying it to an M-channel filter bank, (b) parallel to serial converting the signals output from the M filters to produce an interpolated signal whose sample rate is M times the sample rate of the input signal and from which images produced by the interpolation process H(z) have been rejected, and (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) until a desired sample rate and/or signal bandwidth is achieved. Upon reception, a digital signal is obtained by sampling a wideband of carrier frequencies at a rate Fs. The sampled signal is processed by (a) serial to parallel converting it into M subsignals each having a sample rate equal to Fs/M, (b) applying the subsignals to an M-channel bank of bandpass filters each having a different pass band within the wideband, (c) selecting the filter output which contains the desired channel of carrier frequencies and (d) repeating steps (a) to (c) using as input the output selected in step (c) until the next repetition would exclude frequencies in the desired channel.
Patent GB-2421652-A (GB)
Title: Optimising registration vectors
Inventor: ERIKSSON ANDREAS LARS GUNNAR
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2004-12-23
Abstract: Methods for the registration of images typically assume that there are only two images, an assumption that is not always valid. By using the remaining images to obtain a choice of paths between two selected images, the transformation between the two can be determined with greater accuracy by averaging those paths. When averaging the paths, greater weight can be given to paths whose accuracy is known or reasonably believed to be greatest. Iteration of the process may be possible, where the available computation power is available.

Title: Method and plant for manufacture of cementitious products
Inventor: BENNETT CAROLINE JOYCE
IPC: B28B11/00
Filed: 2005-04-28
Abstract: A plant and method for the manufacture of cementitious products, viz. cast concrete roof tiles (T) are disclosed. A cementitious composition comprising water, sand, pigment, flyash, cement and additives, is admixed in mixing station 2 and fed into re-usable moulds 6 to form greenstate building products (e.g. tiles), which are cured and demoulded. The products T are conveyed through a surface preparation zone 12 where upper surfaces of the products are prepared (e.g. by application of a primer) followed by coating of the prepared surface. The constituents of the composition are admixed under atmospheric pressure and further mixed under a partial vacuum of 200 to 340 m Bar after addition of an entrainment agent. The tiles are cured in a conventional autoclave for up to 10 hours at 45 degrees C. The primer coat maybe a water based epoxy. The admixed cementitious composition has a Ford Cup flow of between 40 and 60 seconds and a slump test of between 180 and 220 mm. In an alternative method, instead of applying a primer coat, the upper surfaces, in use, of the roof tiles T are subjected to abrasion by grit-blasting to remove a thin layer from the upper surfaces thereby facilitating the subsequent application thereto of a surface coating. The coated tiles are conveyed to a packaging station 14.

IPC: H04L12/50
Filed: 2007-12-17
Abstract: A telephone subscriber line device for providing an interface between a legacy telephone circuit based on circuit-switched technology and a packet network has a legacy interface for connection to telephone circuit; a packet interface for connection to a packet network, processing circuitry for converting between legacy telephone signals and packet signals, and a cascadable expansion bus permitting multiple devices to be connected to a common port on a packet network. Such a device is highly scalable. The cascadable expansion bus permits a plurality of similar devices to send and receive packet traffic on the same Ethernet port. The interconnection of voice ports will use a single MII (Media Independent Interface) port and multiple VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) line circuits with a shared Expansion Bus that allows traffic to be directed to and from the single MII Ethernet Port. It provides a simple method of cascading multiple line circuit devices onto a single Ethernet MII port, without the use of Ethernet PHY (Physical Layer interface) devices.
