Title: Updating partition mappings to logical drives in a computer memory device
Inventor: BEELITZ ALAN E
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 1998-10-02
Abstract: Dynamically changing partition mappings to logical drives in a computer memory device, without requiring a reboot. The computer (fig. 1) includes a processor for running operating system code and a hard drive which includes at least one partition 30, 32, 34. When the computer boots up, a logical reference value in the operating system points to the partition. After the partition has been initialised or modified as to length and/or location, a reference-updating routine, fig. 3, is run for dynamically updating the logical reference value to correctly map to the partition. The routine first locates and flushes any caches in the computer and closes any open files accessible by the operating system code, and then loads a boot record for the partition and uses specific data therefrom to update a Drive Data Table for the logical drive reference. The processor may then continue running the operating code, and immediately access the (re)partitioned hard drive, without rebooting, and the computer configuration can thus be maintained.
Patent GB-2330114-A (GB)
Title: Transfer printer using a piezoelectric element(s) and a deformable shape memoryresin porous film
Inventor: SUZUKI MINORU
IPC: B41J27/20
Filed: 1998-10-09
Abstract: The printer includes a porous PTFE film 11, a piezoelectric element(s) 12 and a support plate 14. A spacer 13 is provided between the film and plate to define an ink space 15 supplied by a reservoir 16 via a channel 17. The flow of ink through the pores 21 is normally blocked by the small size thereof. In operation, voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element(s) which vibrate upwards and downwards, relative to the film. Tie upward vibration of the element(s) causes the pores to expand under the force generated such that ink is expelled through the pores onto a substrate P. The film may be a shape memory resin (51,Fig.6) that exhibits rubber elasticity properties above a glass transition temperature (Tg,Fig.5), but a glass state below which prevents ink leakage when the printer is not in use. The pores thereof are expanded by a heater (52,Fig.6) which heats the film to a temperature between 50‹C and 80‹C, before ink is expelled through the expanded pores by the vibration of the piezoelectric element(s).

Title: Catalytic converter decontamination method
Inventor: PAKKO JAMES DAVID
IPC: B01D53/96
Filed: 1999-01-26
Abstract: A method for restoring exhaust purifying capability of a sulphur contaminated catalytic converter of an internal combustion engine. Catalytic converter efficiency is measured with a first exhaust gas oxygen sensor positioned upstream of the catalytic converter and a second exhaust gas oxygen sensor positioned downstream of the catalytic converter. When catalytic converter efficiency falls below a desired level, catalytic converter temperature is elevated and the engine is operated to produce a rich exhaust gas mixture to reduce the sulphur contamination. Then, to further reduce the sulphur contamination, the engine is operated to produce a lean exhaust mixture.

Title: Controlling a servo motor in vehicle speed control systems
Inventor: VINT MATTI K
IPC: B60W30/00
Filed: 1999-01-26
Abstract: A method and system for accurately controlling a position of a servo motor e.g. for a throttle in a vehicle speed control system for various operation conditions includes predetermined parameters of a polynomial which define desired positions of the servo motor for various vehicle speeds under normal operation conditions. A sensor senses a speed of the vehicle and generates a corresponding speed signal. A controller 20 determines an initial desired position of servo motor based on the speed signal when this is set, eg for cruise control. The controller 20 also determines whether the operation condition of the vehicle has deviated from the normal operation condition, and if so, determines a revised desired position of the servo motor based on the actual position of the servo motor and the initial desired position of the servo motor. Finally, the controller 20 controls the servo motor based on the revised desired position of the servo motor. The polynomial is based in feedforward controller 30 and is derived from actual measurements using curve analysis techniques.

IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 1999-03-22
Abstract: Various types of image compression have been proposed. The present invention compresses image data using a predetermined compression technique such as the Microsoft S3 compression scheme. The compressed image is then decompressed and difference values derived between the original image and the decompressed image.

Title: Toothpaste dispensers
Inventor: TAYLOR MICHAEL BENJAMIN
IPC: A47K5/18
Filed: 1999-04-22
Abstract: A toothpaste dispenser 12 in the form of a pump action or trigger operated toothpaste tube is secured to a wall 22 in an inverted orientation. The trigger 14 has an actuating element 20 projecting therefrom. The actuating element 20 projects downwardly and outwardly from the trigger 14 and locates beneath the closure member 16. The head of a toothbrush 40 is inserted into a channel section of the actuating element 20 until is abuts an abutment face. The movement of the toothbrush and the actuating element 20 causes the trigger 14 to operate and the closure member moves from a closed position to an open position in order for toothpaste to be applied directly onto the head of the toothbrush. The toothpaste dispenser thereby dispenses a predetermined amount of toothpaste directly onto the head of the toothbrush and the area surrounding the closing member is left clean by the operating sequence.

Title: Method and apparatus for combining audio signals
Inventor: GRIFFITHS LAURENCE KELVIN
IPC: H04H60/04
Filed: 1999-07-06
Abstract: An audio signal processing apparatus for forming an audio production from a plurality of different audio input channels (DIA1, ML, MR, EFF1......) each of which provides an active audio signal (DIA1*, ML*, MR*, EFF1*......), for at least part of a common mixing period (MXP), has a plurality of mixing processors (56) each of which operates, at any temporal position within the common mixing period (MXP), to process one of the active audio signals, from which a corresponding contribution to at least one audio output channel (AO1, AO2, AO3, AO4) is generated, a combiner (66) coupled to each of the mixing processors (56), which operates to combine the contributions from each of the mixing processors to produce the at least one audio output channel, and an assignment processor (52) which operates, with respect to the common mixing period (MXP), to assign the active audio signals to the mixing processors. Advantageously, the number of mixing processors (56) may therefore be less than the number of audio input channels, the assignment processor (52) operating to assign the active audio signals from different audio input channels to the same mixing processors in a time multiplexed relationship. The signal (s) from the output channel(s) may be fed to loudspeakers and/or a recording medium such as a tape, CD or DVD.

Title: Method of preparing controlled long-acting pharmaceutical formulation comprising a cellulose ether as a carrier base material
IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 1987-04-02
Abstract: A method of preparing a multiplicity of controlled, long-acting release pharmaceutical tablets, each containing a therapeutic agent and a cellulosic ether carrier base material is shown. The method includes the steps of adding a quantity of cellulose ether base material such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and an active therapeutic agent to form a mixture, thoroughly and uniformly mixing that mixture, discontinuing the mixing, permitting the uniform mixture to stand for a period of time, typically two to twenty-four hours or longer, sufficient to cause the therapeutic agent to become bonded to the carrier base material and compressing portions of the mixture to form the solid unit dose tablets. The advantage of the method is that the time release of each tablet from a given batch of formulation and the time release characteristics of tablets prepared in different batches, will be substantially more uniform and comparable.
