Patent GB-2330358-A (GB)
Title: Epoxidation of Alkenes
Inventor: SANKEY JOHN PHILIP
IPC: C07D301/14
Filed: 1997-10-15
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for the epoxidation of an alkene which comprises reacting the alkene with a peroxycarbophthal imide, optionally substituted around the benzene nucleus. It is especially desirable to employ 1,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-isoindole-5-peroxycarboxylic acid, and referred to in the specification herein as 5-PCP, a method for the preparation of which is described in EP-B-0460179. The epoxidation method is preferably conducted in an organic reaction medium such as a chlorinated hydrocarbon, a liquid hydrocarbon or an aliphatic ester, and especially employs a slight excess of the organic peroxyacid over the alkene. It is particularly desirable for the epoxidation method to form part of a cycle in which carboxylic acid formed from the organic peroxyacid is separated from the reaction medium, peroxidised to the peroxycarboxylic acid in a strong acidic medium, separated from the strongly acidic medium and returned for epoxidising further alkene.
Patent GB-2319878-A (GB)
Title: Display system
Inventor: RADER SHELIA MARIE
IPC: H04M1/02
Filed: 1997-10-23
Abstract: To conserve power in a battery operated device such as a mobile telephone , a display system has two modes of operation, one in which only a partial display field is used to generate an image and another in which the an image is generated over the whole area of the display screen. The display system includes an image control circuit 400 comprising a pixel signal input 406, a FIFO memory 416 and a pixel fill circuit 418. The last named supplies a continuous stream of identical pixel signals each of which is capable of turning a pixel off. When the circuit is in partial display mode a combiner such as output switch 420 selectively combines pixel signals from the memory 416 with pixel off data from the pixel fill circuit 418 to produce a partial image. The display system may be part of a device moveable between open and closed positions, the partial image mode being activated in the closed position.

Title: Automatic card holder
Inventor: SANDOLI ENRICO
IPC: A45C11/18
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: An automatic card holder contains card sliders that are pulled out when pressing a relevant button. Two or more cards can be extracted by pressing the corresponding buttons. The card holder is made of a box 1 with buttons on the front (only one button 4 and one slider 3 are shown for clarity). Guides 2 allow flat card sliders 3 to slide out when the corresponding buttons 4 are pressed. Card sliders are pushed out of the box by elastic elements (e.g. elastic metal bars) attached to their rear part. A slider is not allowed to come out of the box completely, but it is kept within the box by two bars 7 at the end of the body. The holder may have a lid to prevent cards from slipping out.

Title: Apparatus for transferring fluid between the seabed and a floating vessel
Inventor: DE BAAN JACOB
IPC: B63B21/50
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for transferring fluid between a point (5) on the seabed, such as a wellhead, and a floating vessel (1) . The apparatus comprises a flexible pipeline (4), the upper end of which is attachable to the vessel (1) . A second flexible pipeline (8) is attached at one end to the wellhead (5). A structure (6) is mounted on the seabed and includes a member (7) which is movable relative to the structure (6). The lower end of the first pipeline (4) and the upper end of the second pipeline (8) are mounted on an end of the movable member (7) which is remote from the seabed structure (6). When the first flexible pipeline is stretched out in response to the vessel (1) moving about under the action of wind and current, the movable member (7) is displaced relative to the seabed structure (6) in order to allow the pipeline (4) a greater range of movement before it becomes stretched beyond its safe limit. The apparatus is particularly useful in shallow water where the length of the flexible pipeline (4) is not sufficient to take up very much movement of the vessel (1).
