Title: Loudspeaker with phase corrector
Inventor: KLING MARTIN
IPC: H04R1/30
Filed: 1997-01-17
Abstract: The loudspeaker has a diaphragm comprising a central dome-shaped part 4A and a conical part 4B surrounding the central part. The phase-correction device consists of a cone 5, fixed in the housing with its base matching the shape of the diaphragm, and of two rings 6,7 surrounding the cone concentrically, between which there are sound paths 10,11 from the diaphragm into the sound outlet area. The ring 6 surrounding the cone 5 covers the boundary area between the dome and the cone of the diaphragm and on the side facing the diaphragm consists of two essentially conical surfaces 6A,6B. The axes of the sound paths 10,11 between the cone 5 and the neighbouring ring 6 and between the two rings 6,7 are each aligned on a point on the loudspeaker axis and the sound paths become broader as the distance from the diaphragm increases. The object of the invention is to smooth out the transmission characteristic of the loudspeaker and to enlarge the transmissible frequency band.

Title: Apparatus and method for dissipating excess power received by a contactless portable data carrier
Inventor: HILL MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 1997-01-30
Abstract: A portable data carrier includes a receiving circuit 202 for use thereby in a contactless mode to receive a power signal. The portable data carrier further includes a rectifying element 206 connected to the receiving circuit and having two voltage outputs, whereby the difference between the two voltage outputs reflects an amplitude of the power signal. A comparator element determines the difference between the two voltage outputs and generates a control signal 210 whose amplitude varies substantially proportionately to the difference between the two voltages. Switchable resistive elements R D1 ,R D2  are manipulated by the control signal, to thereby effect power dissipation, as necessary during periods of excess power reception.

Title: Controllable resolution imaging array
Inventor: PYYHTIA JOUNI ILARI
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1997-12-18
Abstract: An imaging device for radiation imaging consists of an array (80, 82, 84) of detector cells and an array of image cell circuits. Each detector cell is connected to the corresponding cell in the array of image cell circuits. Each individual cell in the detector cell array generates a charge based on the radiation that hits the cell. Each cell in the array of image cell circuits accumulates the charge in a storage capacitor. The storage capacitor can be, for example, the gate of a transistor. Single detector cells (86) can be grouped together to form larger area super cells (88, 90), the size of which can be controlled by control signals, which select the operating mode. The output from a single cell or a super cell is read out in current mode and the output from a super cell is scaled according the size of the cell to produce an average current. Several modes can be implemented in the imaging device. Also, an imaging system for larger area radiation imaging can be implemented by connecting several imaging devices together in the form of a two dimensional array.

Title: Internally wetted cartridge control valve for a fuel injector.
Inventor: COLDREN DANA R
IPC: F02M59/46
Filed: 1998-07-01
Abstract: The valve includes body 40, 41, 43 defining solenoid cavity 50 containing a solenoid, inlet passage 32 , outlet passage 35 and metering passage 54 linking the solenoid cavity and the outlet passage. A valve member 65 is attached to the solenoid for reciprocation in the valve body between open and closed positions to link, or isolate, the inlet and outlet passages. The inlet passage communicates with the solenoid cavity via the metering passage when the valve is open.

Title: Gain control in a CDMA receiver in which, if the deviation is greater than a set amount, the feedback is adjusted to increase the speed of convergence
Inventor: ICHIHARA MASAKI
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1999-04-06
Abstract: In an AGC circuit for correcting a variation in received level by feeding back feedback data based on the difference between the average received level and a reference value in units of slots to an AGC amplifier, when the difference between the average received level and the reference value is equal to or more than a predetermined value, the value of the feedback data is set to be larger than a normal value. This increases the speed of convergence, overcoming the effect of a saturated D/A converter.

Patent GB-2340744-A (GB)
Title: Means for adjusting a headrest
Inventor: BECK CHRISTIAN
IPC: B60N2/48
Filed: 1999-07-08
Abstract: A car headrest is slidably mounted on a seat via at least one rod in a retaining sleeve 12, the level of the headrest being adjustable by a locking element 62. Folding of the seat causes the headrest to automatically retract so that it abuts the top of the seat. The retraction is triggered by a tensioning of a cable (not shown) which acts on a first sliding element 40, pulling it downwards against springs 42. Movement of 40 in turn causes a downward movement of a second sliding element 52 which moves the headrest. This movement is damped to ensure smooth retraction of the headrest. Unfolding the seat relaxes the cable and allows springs 42 to pull sliding element 40 upwards and thus move the headrest upwards via element 52. The headrest is normally biased downwards by spring 54 for affecting manual readjustment of the headrest. Spring 42 however overrides spring 54 for the purposes of the automated retraction described above.

Title: Pharmaceutical composition for treating tumors
Inventor: KOPECEK JINDRICH
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1993-01-21
Abstract: Compositions for the treatment of cancerous tissues in warm-blooded animals containing both an anticancer drug and a photoactivatable drug attached to copolymeric carriers are made up of a member selected from the group consisting of (a) a copolymeric carrier having attached thereto both an anticancer drug and a photoactivatable drug, (b) a mixture of copolymeric carriers wherein one copolymeric carrier has attached an anticancer drug and the other copolymeric carrier has attached a photoactivatable drug and (c) a combination of (a) and (b). The anticancer drug is attached to the polymeric carrier by side-chains which are stable in the blood stream of the warm-blooded animal but susceptible to hydrolysis by lysosomal enzymes intracellularly. The photoactivatable drug is attached by either the same degradable side-chain or by a non-degradable attachment. The polymer carrier may optionally contain a targeting moiety. Upon administration polymeric macromolecules enter targeted cancer cells by pinocytosis which reduces the side effects normally elicited by the free drugs. A time lag is allowed following administration for optimal uptake of the copolymers in the cancerous tissue for the anticancer agent to begin to take effect. Then a light sources of the appropriate wavelength and energy is to activate the photoactivatable drug. The combined effect of the anticancer agent and photoactivatable drug provides greater cell destruction at reduced dosages and side effects.
