Title: Apparatus and method for interrogating a passive sensor
Inventor: LONSDALE ANTHONY
IPC: G01H1/14
Filed: 2000-09-04
Abstract: Apparatus for determining the resonant frequency of a passive sensor, for example a saw device, comprises: means (5,7,3) for transmitting signals of a plurality of frequencies to said passive sensor (2); means (3,7) for receiving signals from said passive sensor simultaneously with said transmitting of signals; means (7) for comparing the received signals with the transmitted signals to identify a characteristic change in the relationship between the received signals and the transmitted signals which occurs when the sensor is being driven at its resonant frequency. Typically, as the frequency at which the passive sensor is driven passes through the resonant frequency of the sensor the phase and/or amplitude of the signal generated by the passive sensor will change. By identifying this change of phase and/or amplitude the point at which resonance occurs can be detected. The frequency of the transmitted signal at the moment when the comparison indicates that the sensor is being driven at its resonant frequency is the resonant frequency of the sensor.

Title: Container rejection system, on conveyor, with second rejector
Inventor: ZAKERI SAEID
IPC: B07C5/34
Filed: 2001-10-04
Abstract: A container 10 reject system comprises an inspection device 14, which assesses whether a container 10 has defects which should result in it being removed from a conveyer 12. In such a case a reject signal is sent to a control box 16. A reaquire sensor 38 senses the defective container 10 downstream of the inspection device 14, and sends a container (bottle, fig.1) sensed signal to the control box 16, which actuates a first rejector 18 downstream of the reaquire sensor 38. A chute signal from a chute sensor 20 confirms to the control box 16 that the defective container 10 has been ejected from the conveyor 12. In the absence of such a chute signal, the control box 16 actuates a second rejector 37 which makes a second attempt to eject the defective container 10 from the conveyor 12. The container 10 may be a bottle. The first rejector 19 may comprise a jet of air from a nozzle, the second rejector 37 may comprise a pneumatic / electric plunger 36. The system may be fail safe such that if the status of a container 10, reject or pass, in unknown, such as due to faulty sensors 14, 38, 20, the container 10 is ejected anyway. Faulty states of the system, such as due to one or more faulty sensors 14, 38, 20 may result in an alarm sounding or the system shutting down.

Title: Earphones and microphone (personal speaking device)that do not transmit or emit microwave radiation or any other dangerous radiation
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: Cellular phones are becoming more common and popular amongst all sectors of the population for business and private conversations, including many children, with about 500 Million users worldwide, and about 300,000 new joiners each day. There is much concern and there is already some accumulating evidence that the Microwave emission transmitted by the cellular antenna that is held close to user's head may have deleterious effects on the user, such as for example brain or eye cancer, and possibly even more so for children. One of the most common ways to try to avoid these problems has been the usage of personal earphones with microphone, but on 4/4/2000 it was published worldwide that a research conducted by the "Which?" consumer Magazine in Britain found that in fact the earphone and its cable can act as an Antenna and also expose the user to the microwave radiation. The present invention solves the above problem in using earphones with cellular phones and similar devices. This is accomplished by the elimination of any electrically conducting materials from the connection between the personal speaking device and the phone, such as for example by use of optic fibers, so that the personal speaking device can no longer act as an antenna. Many possible variations and also deviations from this basic design are shown.
Patent GB-2384847-A (GB)
Title: Defroster for evaporator of refrigerator
Inventor: LEE WON-BOK
IPC: F25D21/08
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: A defrosting heater 34 for an evaporator of a refrigerator is installed close to a refrigerant tube 32 in which a refrigerant flows. The defrosting heater 34 is constructed to generate different amounts of heat according to positions in an evaporator 30. To this end, a hot wire 44 of the defrosting heater 34 has different wound pitches according to the positions in the evaporator 30. For example, the pitch of the hot wire 44 on an inlet side through which air that has circulated in the refrigerator is introduced toward the evaporator 30 is set to be small (a) in order to generate a relatively large amount of heat. Since air that has circulated in a refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator entrains a relatively large amount of moisture, the pitch of the hot wire 44 is relatively small at a region in the evaporator 30 by which air that has circulated, in the refrigerating chamber passes. Defrosting of the evaporator 30 can be smoothly performed, and heat generated from the defrosting heater 34 can be prevented from being transferred into the refrigerating chamber.
