Filed: 2010-06-04
Abstract: Smaller display or TFT substrates are cut from one or more larger substrates by a process according to which there is a possible acceptable variation in size between the smaller substrates within a tolerance range. The larger substrates have marks 4 which are used to define the cutting lines for subdivision and the smaller substrates which are within the acceptable size range each have a portion of the mark remaining at an edge or corner portion of the smaller substrate which can be used as a detection mark used in a process for attaching a sealing compound to the edge of the substrate. The size and location of the marks on the larger substrate are chosen such that each substrate with an acceptable tolerance range will have a portion of the mark at an edge or corner of the substrate.

Title: Flow control device
Inventor: BRADY MICHAEL
IPC: A01G25/02
Filed: 2009-02-26
Abstract: A flow control device (10) for adjusting the rate of flow of a pressurised liquid. The device (10) comprises an elongate body (15) defining an inlet (11) for receiving liquid under pressure, one or more aperture (18) through which liquid may pass, and a flow path from the inlet (11) to the or each aperture (18). The device (10) includes a resilient sheath (19) mounted around the body (15) to close the or each aperture (18). The sheath(19) is expandable in response to increases in the pressure of the liquid to open the or each aperture (18) and to define an outlet (13) between the sheath (19) and the body (15). This permits the liquid to flow out of the or each aperture '(18) and be ejected from the outlet (13). The rate of flow is directly proportional to the pressure of the liquid introduced to the inlet (11), such that an increase in liquid pressure increases the size of the outlet (13), resulting in an increase in flow rate.

Title: Search term security
Inventor: KIM MOON JU
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2010-11-12
Abstract: As indicated above, the present invention transparently inserts search arguments/terms (referred to as noise) into a search string so that the search arguments themselves would not be clearly evident when a user is searching. The inserted noise terms are related to the underlying search terms. This would confuse a mining program and/or hacker looking for sensitive material (such as intellectual property). When the search results are returned, any "hits" resulting from noise will be removed transparently from the overall results. The insertion and removal under the present invention provides a more secure level of searching, yet is completely transparent to the end user. The inserted random search arguments are germane contextually to the search string.

Title: Selecting between demodulated and decoded signals for feedback depending on signal quality
Inventor: AULA JANNE ARI OLAVI
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2012-11-21
Abstract: At a receiver, a received signal is pre-processed in a detector using feedback based on a previously-received signal. The received signal is demodulated and then decoded and the quality of at least one of the demodulated and decoded signals is evaluated. Neither or one of the demodulated or decoded signals is selected to update the feedback signal depending on the evaluated signal quality, e.g. based on successful decoding using a checksum or CRC, use of a decoding metric indicating the decoding quality, or comparison of the SNR of the demodulated signal with a threshold.
