Patent GB-2289729-A (GB)
Title: Automatic braking dependent on brake pedal actuation speed
Inventor: ECKL ALBRECHT
IPC: B60T13/66
Filed: 1995-05-10
Abstract: A vehicle is braked automatically at a higher pressure than that corresponding to the position of the brake pedal when the pedal actuation speed exceeds a threshold value S, and the automatic braking is terminated when an interruption criterion is satisfied. For a time t2 following this termination, the threshold value is reduced to S' (=S.F) so that automatic braking can occur, during that time interval, at a reduced pedal actuation speed. As illustrated, reduction of the threshold value is dependent on the time t1 from the initiation of automatic braking and the time t2 both being less than a respective predetermined time T1, T2. F may be a fixed value,or may vary as a function of t1 or t2. <IMAGE>

Title: Height safety system
Inventor: FLUX PETER ROBERT
IPC: A62B35/04
Filed: 1998-04-23
Abstract: A height safety system comprises a flexible element (2) eg a wire, to which a lanyard is attached, supported by a number of spaced apart support brackets (10). The support brackets (10) can absorb loads along the flexible element (2) up to a predetermined limit, whereafter any excess load is transmitted along the flexible element (2) to an adjacent support bracket (10). The system is intended to reduce the 'shock' loading on each bracket (10) and hence on the structure to which the system is mounted. The flexible element (2) may move relative to the support bracket (10) when the load exceeds the pre-determined limit. The load exceeding the pre-determined limit may cause a portion (14) of the particular support bracket (10) to deform.

Patent GB-2334965-A (GB)
Title: Cell culture vessel
Inventor: FRY RICHARD
IPC: C12M3/04
Filed: 1999-02-16
Abstract: A translucent cell culture vessel, intended for use in a roller system, is largely cylindrical and characterised in that its cross-section in a direction perpendicular to its elongate axis is non-cylindrical so it cannot rotate smoothly by rolling. Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention. The vessel has a neck 4 and cap 8 and a base 3. The internal body portion is corrugated to increase surface area and contains a non-corrugated drainage channel 5 which affords the non-cylindrical shape of the vessel. The non-corrugated panel 7 provide a viewing region. The asymmetry of the vessel means that it can be disposed in a roller system in only one orientation and the drainage channel facilitates effective collection of liquid.

Title: Controlling a disk drive to eliminate blanking intervals formed on a storage disk positioned within the drive
Inventor: BUCH BRUCE
IPC: G11B5/596
Filed: 1999-12-23
Abstract: A method of controlling a disk drive that reduces the space on the data storage surface of a storage disk otherwise effectively required to be taken up by embedded servo sectors. In disk drives employing wide-writer, narrow-reader, dual element heads, each servo burst field ends with a burst correction value (BCV) field. This BCV field enables the wide-writer head to be accurately positioned within track boundaries before writing begins to the data sector following a servo sector. The present invention takes advantage of the fact that burst correction values are only required by the head incident to data writing operations. Since a finite settle time is required to switch the read channel from servo mode to user data mode, and since the BCV field is not needed for reading operations, mode switching and channel settling can begin while the head is still passing over the BCV field. Sooner switch over from servo mode to user data read mode means that the blanking interval, and concomitant disk space, heretobefore required by the prior art approach, is completely avoided by the new disk drive control method.
