Title: Personal conferencing system
Inventor: COLYER ADRIAN MARK
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1997-04-10
Abstract: There is described a personal conferencing method and system for a client (32)/server (30) environment. The server (30) stores conference model data (60) such as a shared chalkboard or a molecular model and each client has a copy of the conference model data (60). When one of said clients (32A, 32B, 32C) edits the model (60) it creates an instruction (64D) for operating on the model and sends the instruction (64A) to the server (30). The server (30) operates (62) on its conference model data (60) on receipt of the instruction (64A) and resends the instruction (64B) to each of the clients (32A, 32B, 32C) and each client (32A, 32B, 32C) performs the same operation (62) on their respective copies of the conference data model (60). Whereby after a plurality of different operating instructions (64B) from different clients (32A, 32B, 32C) the respective copies of the conference model data (60) are equivalent.

Title: A debugger interface unit with a stepping mode
Inventor: SEGARS SIMON ANTHONY
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 1997-09-09
Abstract: A debugger interface unit 150 includes a state machine which receives a signal when a processor core 100 requests an instruction fetch to take place, keeps a record of the number of fetches requested and, if a control register field is set to indicate that a stepping process is to be employed, outputs a breakpoint signal to the processor core, stopping processing and allowing the current state of the processor to be examined, once a predetermined number of instruction fetches have been requested. Preferably this number is two, providing a single stepping process. The debugger interface unit may also include one or more hardware breakpoint units 200, 205 including registers for storing attributes of instruction or data accesses which, if detected, will also cause a breakpoint signal to be sent to the processor core.

Patent GB-2338199-A (GB)
Title: Extensible wheel brace
Inventor: JARRETT PHILLIP
IPC: B25G1/04
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: A wheel brace, for the tightening and loosening of vehicle wheel nuts is extensible via the relative movement of an outer tube 9 and inner bars 2, 4 and 6. 90 degree hinges formed from the inner bar components are each rotatable about a pin 5. The clockwise flexing of the hinges relative to socket 1 has the effect of limiting the tightening leverage which can be applied to the wheel nut when the wheel brace is extended. On the other hand, the hinges provide stiffness in the anti-clockwise direction when the wheel brace is extended and inner bars 2, 4 and 6 have a common in-line axis. Additional leverage can thus be made available for nut loosening, but the incorporation of the limited movement hinges prevents wheel nut over-tightening. In order to tighten the wheel nut, it is intended that the wheel brace be retracted.

Title: Electro-optic modulator
Inventor: DAWNAY EMMA JANE CLARISSA
IPC: G02F1/025
Filed: 1998-08-13
Abstract: A doped substrate (12) is described for use around a ridge waveguide (10), for controlling the refractive index of the waveguide material. Instead of simply diffusing dopant in from a surface of the substrate (12) adjacent the waveguide (10), an area of the substrate is etched and dopant diffused in from a side face of the etched region (28, 30). Thus, the dopant profile is established from a horizontal direction, allowing the profile to be controlled. A simple vertically uniform doping profile (12) can thus be provided, leading to a vertically uniform current density, or an anisotropic wet etch can be applied after the initial etch to provide a profile (36) which concentrates the current density at a selected height in the substrate.

Title: Dissipation of drag rotation in synchronised transmissions
Inventor: TICKLE DAVID JOHN
IPC: F16D23/06
Filed: 1999-07-23
Abstract: In an automated manual transmission, upon selection of the reverse gear combination an hydraulic or pneumatic brake load L is applied via actuators 8 and/or 10 to a synchromesh synchronisation mechanism 1,2,3,9 of at least one forward gear combination in order to brake the transmission (drive shafts 4 and 5) into a substantially stationary condition whereupon potential unbalanced rotation of the transmission is diminished so that there is less likelihood of idle rattle. Several such synchronisation mechanisms may be combined to provide more rapid dissipation. The selected gear combination(s) may be alternated to reduce wear on the respective synchronisation mechanism(s). Alternatively, upon selection of the reverse gear combination, a forward gear combination synchronisation stage may be performed, whereby drag rotation is dissipated by proportional coupling to the bulk of the transmission ie. increasing the mass of inertia, prior to engagement of the reverse gear combination.
