Title: Vehicle pneumatic tyre as loudspeaker enclosure
Inventor: BOYCE OLIVER
IPC: B60C5/00
Filed: 2007-12-04
Abstract: It may be costly to make loudspeaker enclosures from the materials needed to give an optimum acoustic performance, and the resulting enclosure is often heavy, difficult to transport and easily damaged. These problems are solved by mounting a loudspeaker drive unit 3 in the opening defined by the inner rim 6 of a pneumatic tyre 7. The wall of the tyre may include further openings for use as a reflex port 21 or to mount a tweeter 22. The bead 11 that forms the inner rim of the tyre is reinforced with steel wire and so may provide a secure support for the perimeter of the drive unit 3. The heavy magnet and motor system of the drive unit is supported by a panel 16 that closes the rear of the tyre. A second advantage of this invention is that it provides a use for worn or damaged tyres, so avoiding the financial and environmental costs of disposal.

Title: Animal tag
Inventor: REED PETER
IPC: A01K11/00
Filed: 2008-11-20
Abstract: An animal tag is described in which first and second portions 12, 14 pivot or fold relative to one another. A closure element 20 at a free end of the first portion engages a receptacle 22 at a free end of the second portion. The tip 24 of the closure element is angled relative to the first portion forming an acute angle therewith. The closure element may be straight or curved or formed of straight and curved sections. Specifically, the tip section 24 points in a direction perpendicular to the radial line between the pivot axis and the tip section so that the tip section points in a tangential direction to the arc prescribed by the tip section as the tag is closed. In use the angled nature of the tag enables the tag to enter the ear tangentially to the path followed by the tip section during closure of the tag. Thus the tip section follows a path which is more closely directed towards the receptacle than in the prior art.

Title: Methods of receiving in telephony by high frequency oscillations and in wireless telegraphy and telephony
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 1922-04-07
Abstract: 205,117. O'Dell, A. E., (Lorenz Akt.-Ges., C., and Scheppmann, W.). April 7, 1922. Receiving systems; thermionic amplifiers and detectors.-Receiving systems are made very selective by avoiding as far as possible capacity, other than that of the antenna, across the aerial tuning inductance. This inductance is wound in one or more layers of very fine wire on a long cylinder and may have an iron core. Variations in inductance are effected by arranging a movable copper cylinder round the coil. The resistance introduced by the fine wire and the losses in the copper cylinder are counteracted by the use of back coupled valves in both primary and secondary circuits. As shown, a small series condenser c<1> is provided and the aerial inductance is wound of fine wire as described above. The reaction coil s<2> is arranged to reduce as far as possible the effective ressitance of the antenna at the desired frequency. The secondary circuit is loosely coupled and includes a back coupled valve R<2>. For tuning purposes the telephones i may be included in the plate circuit of the valve R<1>, but during reception they are in that of the valve R<2>. The coil s<5> supplies local energy for heterodyne working, or a circuit containing in series a detector, an interrupter, and the telphones may be coupled inductively to the secondary current. Specifications 101,541 and 101,702 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in photography for stereoscopic projection
IPC: G03B35/24
Filed: 1953-04-30
Abstract: 787,237. Stereoscopic photography. ROGERS, G. L. March 24, 1954 [April 30, 1953], No. 10134/55. Divided out of 787,235. Classes 97(1) and 98(2) A stereoscopic camera assembly comprises a photographic camera and an optical field subdividing system having an array of three or more light refracting or light reflecting members arranged so that the camera records separate juxtaposed images corresponding to views from slightly different directions determined by the positions of the members. As shown in Fig. 3 the field of the camera 2 is subdivided by concave lenses 1 with which may be associated a condensing lens 3. In Fig. 4 the light for forming the image corresponding to each viewpoint is reflected into the camera by reflection first from one of the mirrors 5 and then from one of the mirrors 4. The mirrors 5 are spaced to provide the necessary viewpoints and the mirrors 4, which are actually equal in number to the mirrors 5, are grouped so that the images are fitted into the format of the film in the camera. Instead of mirrors, prisms 10, 12, Fig. 11, may be used and may be associated with Galilean systems of lenses 11, 13. Polarizing filters may be associated with the separate systems, adjacent filters having planes of polarization at right angles, the corresponding areas of film in the camera being covered with similarly oriented filters. To increase the effective number of viewpoints the optical elements receiving light from the object may be reciprocated, together, in their own plane, their co-operation with the system which directs light into the camera being maintained by a rotating optical block. The effective number of view points may also be increased by recording each of the separate images on lenticular film. For this purpose horizontally lenticulated film may be used as described in Specifications 410,515, 541,751, 541,752 and 541,753. In another embodiment separate television cameras are disposed at the required viewpoints and the images recorded by them are displayed in juxtaposition and photographed. The records obtained in the camera system of the invention are intended for projection in superposition on a lenticular screen by an optical system, generally similar to that used for photographing, but with the light paths reversed. The exposures for the separate images may be simultaneous or may be effected successively by separate shutters associated with the separate optical systems or by a roller blind shutter in the camera. By using successive exposures with a moving subject an illusion of movement may be introduced into an otherwise still photograph or different exposures may be made of separate subjects to produce a composite photograph.
