Title: Reversing alarm
Inventor: HANSON-ABBOTT CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G10K15/04
Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: A reversing alarm for a vehicle emits an audible signal in addition to reversing indicators when the vehicle is placed in reverse gear or alternatively when activated by the driver. The audible signal is in the form or pulses of broad band sound (BBS) which may be interspersed with single tone sounds commonly associated with audible reversing alarms. A zener diode in the noise generator 20 produces a BBS signal which is amplified 22 to a level where it can be processed by a band pass filter to remove the highest and lowest frequency components outside of human audible range. A muting circuit 26 blocks the signal intermittently according to the output from generator 28 to produce a series of pulses which are then fed through a further amplifier 30 before being passed to a speaker 32. A clipping circuit is used in amplifier 30 to reshape the signal so that the amplifier may act more efficiently. The alarm is provided in a durable housing (see figures 4 to 6) and can be connected to the vehicles existing indicator system and makes it easier for persons in the vehicles vicinity to locate it.

Title: Memory efficient two dimensional rendering of voxel volume data
Inventor: PAPAGEORGIOU PAVIOS
IPC: G06T15/08
Filed: 2000-04-10
Abstract: A computer program, computer-implemented system and method generate a two-dimensional image of a volume data set representing an object volume from a selectable viewpoint. An object volume data set includes voxel values ordered by voxels along a row that extends in a first direction, rows across a plane that extends in the first direction and a second direction, and planes through an object volume that extend in the first and second directions and a third direction (see figures 5 and 6). In response to the definition of a view vector (VV, figures 11A and 11B) defining a view direction with respect to a viewpoint, shear and warp mappings are determined, as is which of the first, second and third directions (i, j, k, figures 11A and 11B) is closest to the view vector. Pixels of a two-dimensional sheared image having a plurality of lines of pixels are then determined from voxel values of the object volume data set identified by the shear mapping 92. Where the view vector is closest to the first direction, the shear mapping 92 maps rows of voxels in the first direction onto lines of pixels of the sheared image. An output image is then determined by mapping pixels of the sheared image according to the warp mapping 96. This output image can be displayed, printed, sent to a remote location or otherwise communicated to a user.

Title: Base station with three antennas for locating a mobile subscriber in a CDMA communications system
Inventor: GILHOUSEN KLEIN S
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 1997-06-06
Abstract: A base station comprises a master antenna and two slave antennas which are respectively spaced apart from the master antenna. In order to locate a mobile station, each antenna transmits a synchronisation signal towards the mobile which subsequently calculates the time difference between the reception of the master antenna's signal and each of the slave antennas' signals. The time differences are used to approximate the position of the mobile. In an alternative embodiment, voice signals transmitted by the mobile are received by each of the base station's antennas and the time difference between each antenna's reception time is once again used to determine the position of the mobile. The mobile may be instructed to temporarily transmit at increased power if not all of the three antennas are able to receive its signal. Position calculation may be performed at the mobile switching centre or the base station.

Title: Trusted and verifiable data storage system
Inventor: TOPHAM ANDREW
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-06-09
Abstract: There is disclosed a method of verifiably time stamping a data set stored to a data storage medium, for example a tape, comprising generating a first checksum value uniquely identifying said data set, sending said checksum value to an independent trusted organization which adds an independently generated trusted time stamp data to said checksum value and encrypts said checksum value and said time stamp data using a key data generated by a certification authority. The receipt data is returned to a data storage device, which adds the receipt data to the data set for storage on the data storage medium. Verification of the data set read from the data storage medium comprises generating a first checksum value from the data set, and sending the first checksum value and the encrypted receipt data to a trusted verifying organization. The trusted organization decrypts the encrypted receipt data using its key data, and compares the received checksum value, with a checksum value determined from the receipt data, compares the two checksum values and depending upon the result of the comparison, verifies whether the time stamp data corresponds to the received checksum value or not. A verification result message is generated confirming either the time stamp data does or does not correspond to the received checksum value.

Title: Inkjet printer having first and second feed rollers of different diameters disposed at different heights relative to a sheet input tray
Inventor: KELLY KIERAN B
IPC: B41J13/10
Filed: 1998-03-12
Abstract: A second feed roller 66 of smaller diameter than a first feed roller 64 is included in an inkjet printer. A print zone 102 is located adjacent to the second feed roller away from the first feed roller to lower the location of the print zone. An inkjet printhead 104 is disposed at a third height relative to the input tray which is less than the first height. During ejection, a pivot mechanism 86 moves from a first position 94 adjacent to the printhead to an intermediary position (136,Fig.14). This causes arms (100,Fig.4) to extend and rails 74 to retract. The motions then pause and/or reverse, prior to full extension and full retraction. Next, the pivot mechanism moves to a second position (96) causing the arms to fully extend and the rails to fully retract. The varied motion (e.g., pause; reversal) assures that the arms push at an edge of a media sheet 80 to move the media sheet into an output tray 72 without the media sheet sailing from the printer. The roller arrangement reduces the height of the inkjet printer portion compared to conventional printers.
