Title: Bank cheque system with cheques having magnetized strips and/or storage chips
Inventor: AMRI MOOSA EISA AL
IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 2000-11-21
Granted: 2004-05-20
Abstract: A system and method to produce and use new bank checks with magnetized strips (30) and/or storage chips (33) to avoid forging in the checks and to confirm immediately upon introducing them for negotiation, whether or not sufficient funds are available. The bank check system comprises issued bank checks whose front and rear faces carry imprinted visible data (11-21) and a magnetic strip (30) and/or storage chip (33) containing stored encoded data readable by a reader so it can be checked for conformity with the visible data (11-21) to detect any unauthorized alterations to the check. The visible data (11-21) and stored encoded data include an identification of a check (19), account, drawer (15) and bank (16). The new checks include checks with a maximum value, or a fixed value that is pre-paid and blocked in the drawer's account, and “ordinary” checks, enabling to check whether the checks to be paid with a sufficient blocked amount. The invention includes a control bank system and the usage of the reader devices to confirm the correctness and safety of these checks, and can be negotiated immediately. The checks according to the invention can be made of plastic, or paper merged with plastic or any other material. The plastic in the edges of the plastic checks are thicker and non-covered with paper to carry the magnetized strip and/or storage chip, in accordance with standard specifications compatible with the reader devices.

Granted: 2000-03-02
Abstract: A point-to-multipoint star configured terrestrial radio communication system having at least one base station transmitting to and receiving RF communication signals from a plurality of associated subscriber stations in the 0.3-300 GigaHertz (GHz) range. The system includes means for reducing frequency uncertainty, drift or error of the RF transmissions from each of the subscriber stations to the base station. Each subscriber station has a low cost local reference oscillator, and the system incorporates a reference broadcast signal of high frequency precision from the base station and at each subscriber station there is means for measuring frequency error and compensating for frequency drift/error in the low-cost oscillator at the subscriber station. Moreover, the system can provide an estimate obtained from measuring each subscriber frequency drift or error in the base station and relaying the measured error to the corresponding subscriber station to compensate for that subscriber's transmitter's local oscillator be out of frequency.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing crystalline alumina from aluminum hydroxide which after further conventional treatment is advantageously suitable for ceramic and refractory purposes or as a lapping and polishing agent. The process is such that aluminum hydroxide with a Na2O content of </=0.1 wt. % with respect to Al2O3 is subjected either directly or after prior partial dehydration to a thermal treatment above the temperature for transformation to  alpha -Al2O3. The aluminum hydroxide has an addition of an ammonium containing mineralizer made to it, simultaneously in the presence of boron and/or fluorine, in particular an addition of NH4BF4. The product is characterized by way of the essentially isometric shape of the single crystals.

Title: Amino acid derivative and bromoacetyl modified peptides
Inventor: INMAN JOHN K
IPC: C07C271/22
Filed: 1992-06-10
Granted: 1996-02-29
Abstract: A new amino acid derivative, N alpha -tert-butoxycarbonyl-Ne-(N-bromoacetyl- beta -alanyl)-L-lysine (BBAL), has been synthesized as a reagent to be used in solid-phase peptide synthesis for introducing a side-chain bromoacetyl group at any desired position in a peptide sequence. The bromoacetyl group subsequently serves as a sulfhydryl-selective cross-linking function for the preparation of cyclic peptides, peptide conjugates and polymers. BBAL residues are stable to final HF deprotection/cleavage. BBAL peptides can be directly coupled to other molecules or surfaces which possess free sulfhydryl groups by forming stable thioether linkages. Peptides containing both BBAL and cysteine residues can be self-coupled to produce either cyclic molecules or linear peptide polymers. Such peptide derivatives are useful in preparing potential peptide immunogens, vaccines and therapeutics, and for substances such as peptides linked to polymers, plastics, enamels and ceramics.

Title: Holographic printer
Inventor: BROTHERTON-RATCLIFFE DAVID
IPC: G03H1/24
Filed: 2000-12-08
Granted: 2004-07-15
Abstract: A single method and apparatus for producing many of the most common types of hologram from digital data is disclosed. In one embodiment the data are generated entirely by a computer as a 3-D (animated) model. In another embodiment the data are generated from multiple 2-D camera images taken of a real 3-D (moving) object or scene from a plurality of different camera positions. The data are digitally processed and displayed on a small high resolution spatial light modulator (SLM). A compact low energy pulsed laser, which avoids the usual vibration problems encountered at high rates of production and the installation in normal working environments, is used to record composite holograms on an holographic emulsion using a special optical design. The present invention permits the creation of restricted or full parallax master transmission or reflection type composite holograms, known as H1 holograms, that can be copied using traditional methods to produce full or single colour rainbow white-light transmission holograms, achromatic white-light transmission holograms or single or full-colour white-light reflection holograms. Alternatively the same invention and apparatus permits the direct writing of full or single colour rainbow white-light transmission composite holograms, achromatic white-light transmission composite holograms or single or full-colour white-light reflection composite holograms without the need to pass through the intermediate stage of the H1 transmission hologram. The present invention allows the creation of a compact rugged machine that is capable of producing holograms covering a large size range. In addition the invention produces holograms that can be tiled together to form composite holograms much larger than the component panels. <IMAGE>

Title: Cutting brittle materials
Inventor: YOUNG MICHAEL JOHN RADLEY
IPC: B28D1/26
Filed: 1989-08-30
Granted: 1992-10-22
Abstract: A method of cutting a brittle workpiece comprises applying to the surface of the workpiece a pointed tool, applying high frequency vibrations in a longitudinal direction to the tool, and moving the tool along a line to be cut of the workpiece while applying substantially steady longitudinally directed pressure to the tool. Stress is thereby applied to the workpiece as a combination of short impulses and steady direct stress and the breaking stress of the material would be attained coincident with the peak oscillatory stress. Crack propagation would therefore proceed by a series of stepwise fractures induced by successive cyclic stress peaks, resulting ultimately in the separation of the workpiece into two pieces. An apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a piezoceramic transducer (5) to generate ultrasonic vibrations, a tip (1) to be applied to the workpiece and having a hardness greater than that of the workpiece, and means to convey the ultrasonic vibrational energy to the tip.

Title: Method for the production of an insulator
Inventor: JULKE ELIAS
IPC: H01B19/04
Filed: 1996-02-06
Granted: 1998-10-29
Abstract: A procedure for making an insulator with at least one component coated with electrically insulating material has a primer solution deposited on that component and dried. The insulating material is deposited on the primer coat but before this happens, there are certain steps. First, a fluorescent material in the primer solution is released. Then the coating is irradiated with a light source. Finally the badly coated spots on the component are recognised and extra primer is deposited there. The light source is a UV one. Enough fluorescent material in the primer is released as to saturate it and during drying, the fluorescent material precipitates.
