Patent GB-2349993-A (GB)
Title: Fault location
Inventor: CUNNINGHAM JOHN EDWARD
IPC: H02H1/00
Filed: 1999-03-23
Abstract: A system for locating a fault on a high voltage distribution circuit has a series of sensors B positioned at ring main units. When a fault occurs, the sensors which detect it respond by sending a low frequency signal to a substation receiver A over the high voltage line before a circuit breaker is opened. The receiver is thus able to locate the fault using the information sent by the sensors.

Title: Accessing a page of system memory
Inventor: DERR MICHAEL N
IPC: G06F13/28
Filed: 1997-07-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a system memory read initiated by a bus master (150). In the prior art, a memory controller (140) monitored activity on a system memory bus (180) to determine whether to close a page of memory. Therefore, if a stall occurred during a burst read, the system memory bus (180) would be idle and the page of system memory (130) would be closed. The present invention keeps the page of system memory (130) open during the entire burst read, even if the system memory bus (180) becomes idle. Thus, latencies involved in opening and closing the page of system memory (130) can be avoided. The present invention opens a page of system memory (130) when receiving a first command, and is closed when a second command indicating the termination of the read operation is received from the bus master (150).

Title: Audio processing, e.g. for discouraging vocalisation or the production of complex sounds
Inventor: PROUDLER GRAEME JOHN
IPC: G10K11/175
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: Various audio processing methods and apparatus are described for discouraging vocalisation or the production of complex sounds. In one method, a signal is created from undesirable incident ambient audio (106) and is processed (at 103), possibly under the influence of controls, and converted to output audio which is broadcast (from 105) so as to mix with the undesirable incident ambient audio. The processing for at least the majority of control settings causes oscillatory ambient audio in common ambient environments. In another method, a signal is created which may be generated from detected ambient audio (210), or may be a predetermined or pseudo-random signal (203, 204). Ambient audio is used to selectively enable output of audio (from 209) produced from that created signal, and the output audio is broadcast so as to mix with ambient audio. The output audio (from 209) may be broadcast in timed bursts (e.g. to interrupt an aggressive speaker). Stable positive feedback is promoted.

Title: Childbirth-assisting system
Inventor: GAI MINGYING
IPC: A61B17/42
Filed: 1994-06-28
Abstract: The childbirth-assisting device uses an automatically synchronized expandable pneumatic girdle-to externally augment the secondary force of labor. The pneumatic girdle is fitted around the abdomen of the woman and the girdle is inflated to create a downward pressure on the abdomen when a contraction occurs. The synchronization of the girdle's inflation and the contractions is provided by an electronic controller which receives a signal from an intra-uterine monitor indicating a contraction and causes the girdle to inflate at a certain rate until a preset intra-uterine pressure is attained. Once the intra-uterine pressure reaches the pre-set pressure, the girdle pressure is maintained until the offset of the contraction is detected, at which time the girdle is deflated.

Title: Semiconductor integrated circuit device
Inventor: TSUJIIDE TOORU
IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 1980-01-31
Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent destruction of a semiconductor integrated circuit device due to the generation of heat in the diffused layer by employing a double-layer polycrystal- line Si at the connecting portion between the Al wiring and the diffused layer in the input/output portion of a memory cell. CONSTITUTION:The gate oxide film on a P type Si substrate is opened and coated with a phosphorus doped polycrystalline Si 104 to form an N layer 105. The layer 104 is selectively opened, As ions are implanted therein and a heat treatment is applied thereto to form an N layer 106. The whole surface is covered with SiO2 107 and selectively opened to form polycrystalline Si 108, then covered with PSG 109 and opened to connect the polycrystalline Si 108 and an Al wiring 110. The whole surface is covered with SiO2 115, and a fine wire 114 is connected to the pad portion 113. The diffused layer for input protection by said constitution is connected to the Al wiring through the double layer polycrystalline Si as well as the diffused layer at the connecting portion is deep. Accordingly, when a high voltage is applied to the input pad, the alloy reaction between the Al and the diffused layer is blocked by the double-layer polycrystalline Si. Moreover, because the diffused layer is deep, the input breakdown voltage is made much higher.
