Title: Channelization and encoding for text information services transmitted via radiocommunication systems
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: The present invention sets forth techniques for channelizing and encoding various broadcast information services using, for example, a broadcast control channel to provide information to a mobile station user. The mobile station may be a receive-only device, similar to a simple pager, or may be a receive/transmit device, such as a mobile phone. In order to limit the capacity of the broadcast channel that is consumed by, e.g., a Security Quote service, an efficient encoding and channelization method is provided. The method includes separating the short-message-service broadcast control channel into 3 logical sub-channels: a Security Name channel, a Start Value channel and a Delta channel. These channels provide different aspects of the securities information to the mobile station. By varying the bandwidth allocation of these individual channels, the present invention is capable of providing a very large amount of securities while also maintaining a fast cycle time.

Title: Combining measurements from breathing rate sensors
IPC: A61B5/08
Filed: 2001-12-14
Abstract: A method for combining breathing rate measurements from two or more independent measurement channels. Independent measurements of breathing rate, for instance by impedance pneumography and photoplethysmography, can be combined to derive an improved measurement eliminating artefacts on one channel. A model of the process generating the breathing rate, is constructed and is run independently for each channel to generate predictions of the breathing rate. The model may be a Kalman filter. The measured values are compared with the predicted values and the difference is used as an indication of the confidence in the measurement, the higher the difference the lower the confidence. The measurements from the two channels are combined using weights calculated from the respected differences.

Patent GB-0324385-D0 (GB)
Title: Improved screen
IPC: B01D33/00
Filed: 2003-10-20
Abstract: A woven wire cloth screen is described in which at least one fine mesh cloth overlies a coarser mesh backing cloth and an additional coarser mesh cloth is secured over the fine mesh cloth, whose mesh and wire size at least are selected so as in general to prevent relatively large abrasive particles from making contact with the fine mesh cloth. Two fine mesh cloths may be sandwiched between the coarser cloths. In one screen the backing cloth is 30#x01.280 mm diameter S/S wire, the upper fine mesh is 180#x0.030 mm diameter S/S wire, the lower fine mesh is 160#x0.036 mm diameter S/S wire, and the additional top cloth is 30#x60#x0.160 mm diameter S/S wire. A method of making such a screen is described in which the cloths are in turn laid over a rigid frame to which they are to be bonded and the tension in the wire mesh cloths is achieved using pneumatically powered rams acting on clamps which grip the edges of the cloths. All the rams are of the same size and different tensions are imparted to the cloths by supplying air at differing pressures to the rams acting on the different cloths. In particular a method is described for making a woven wire cloth screen which will withstand highly abrasive large particles such as obtained when drilling through Utsira sand, in which a support frame is located in a jig, a coarse backing cloth is stretched over the frame -and secured between clamping jaws along all four edges and then tensioned by moving all the clamps relatively outwardly by pneumatic rams. A fine mesh wirecloth is then stretched over the first cloth and similarly tensioned by means of a second set of clamps and rams. An additional coarse mesh cloth is then similarly stretched over the fine mesh cloth and tensioned by means of a third set of clamps and rams. Thereafter the cloths are secured to the support frame under pressure. After releasing the pressure, opening the clamping jaws, and trimming surplus wirecloth back to the frame, the finished screen can be removed from the jig. A second fine mesh cloth can be laid over the first fine mesh cloth before the top coarse cloth is applied, and the two fine mesh cloths can be clamped using the same set of jaws and rams.

Title: Machine for filling containers with a food product
IPC: B65B31/02
Filed: 1989-08-03
Abstract: A machine for filling cups 42 with a food product has a conveyor formed from slats 40. The machine includes a loading station 10, a sterilising station 12, a drying station 14, a filling station 16, a gassing station 18, a sealing station 20 and an unloading station. At the sealing station 20, closures cut from foil 84 are heat sealed onto the cups 42. The foil 84 is guided to the sealing station 20 by a series of rollers including a final roller 88 positioned above the conveyor. The function of the gassing station 18 is to create an atmosphere of nitrogen in the unfilled parts of the containers. The gassing station 18 has a gassing chamber formed partly by a casing member 70 and partly by the foil 84 as it passes dowwardly to the final roller 88. The upper surface of the gassing chamber is above the rotational axis of the final roller 88. Nitrogen is injected into the gassing chamber by an injection tube 82 formed from sintered stainless steel, the pores in the steel acting as injection holes. By injecting the nitrogen in this manner, it enters the gassing chamber in a state of laminar flow. The shape of the gassing chamber and the fact that the nitrogen enters it in a state of laminar flow ensures that there is very little tendency for air to be drawn into the gassing chamber from the surrounding parts of the machine.

Title: Carbonated beverage container
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 1992-02-07
Abstract: When dispensing carbonated beverages, particularly beers and especially draught stout, it is desirable to obtain a close-knit creamy head. This contributes to a creamy taste and adds considerably to the customer appeal. To provide such a head a container (1) containing a carbonated beverage (13), includes a pod (6) located within the head space (14) above the level of the beverage (13) and containg a gas, the pod (6) including a hole (11) in its lower part above the level of the beverage (13) and means (12, 16) to ensure that only gas is discharged from the pod (6). The arrangement is such that when the container (1) is closed the pressures of the gas in the pod (6) and in the head space (14) are in equilibrium, but, as soon as the container (1) is opened to reduce the pressure inside the head space (14) of the container (1) the gas at super atmospheric inside the pod (6) is jetted out of the hole (11) and into the beverage (13) in the container (1) to cause shear of the beverage (13) and the liberation of small bubbles which accumulate in a surface layer on the beverage (13). When the beverage (13) is dispensed the small bubbles in its surface layer act to seed the generation of small bubbles throughout the remainder.
