Title: Water-engine
Inventor: SMITH IAIN MARTIN
IPC: F03B17/02
Filed: 1984-02-27
Abstract: A water engine (1,40,50) comprises two floats (12,13; 12', 13'; 51, 52) arranged to reciprocate vertically in respective water chambers (10, 11; 10', 11'; 53, 54).

Title: Gain control in optical amplifiers
Inventor: GOOBAR EDGARD
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 2001-02-20
Granted: 2004-01-28
Abstract: An optical amplifier arrangement is provided that includes an amplifier (10) elements for measuring the gain applied to the total input power (21, 31, 40) and a control unit (50) adapted to determine the degree of variation of gain with wavelength, i.e. the gain tilt, on the basis of a measurement of total gain. This is achieved by using a predetermined relationship between the wavelength dependent gain variation and total gain. This relationship is determined on production by measurement of the amplifier or of a batch or class of amplifiers. In this way a precise figure for gain tilt is provided for each amplifier. This may be used to eliminate gain tilt. Alternatively, if the system requirements tolerate limited gain tilt, the figure may be used to monitor the system. <IMAGE>

Title: Control apparatus for electric bed heating arrangements
Inventor: CHUTER BARRY IAN
IPC: H05B1/02
Filed: 1987-12-07
Granted: 1991-09-04
Abstract: A control apparatus for an electric bed heating arrangement (24) includes a 24 hour timer circuit (36) which, after the apparatus has been energised from an electrical supply: (i) disables energisation of the bed heating arrangement (24) until a manual operation of setting the timer circuit (operation of a reset/override switch) has been performed; and (ii) responds to the manual setting operation to commence a 24 hour cycle according to which energisation of the bed heating arrangement is enabled each day, at a time determined by the time of day at which the manual setting operation was performed, and continues thereafter to be enabled for a predetermined part only (e.g. 12 hours) of the 24 hour cycle. When, for example after first purchase or at the end of the warm season, use of the bed heating arrangement is to be commenced, the user need only connect the control apparatus to an electrical supply and then perform the manual setting operation at an appropriate time of day. Thereafter, provided the apparatus is left connected to the supply, heating of the bed will be enabled each day at the same time as that determined by the time at which the setting operation was performed and will be disabled each day at the same time, namely at the end of the predetermined part of the 24 hour cycle.

Title: Improved electro-active composite poling efficiency
Inventor: CHILTON JOHN ANDREW
IPC: H01L41/37
Filed: 1989-08-30
Granted: 1993-05-12
Abstract: This invention describes a technique for improving the effectiveness of 'poling' of a composite material and hence its degree of electrical activity. The technique utilises a preferential uptake of a polar fluid by one of the phases to reversibly alter the resistivity balance between the materials within the composite. The fluid may be driven off after poling by, for instance, vacuum drying to allow operation of the material as a low electrical loss material.

Title: Radio paging receiver consuming less electric power
Inventor: TSUNODA KAZUYUKI
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1991-03-15
Granted: 1994-05-25
Abstract: A radio paging receiver having a primary power source, and outputs boosted by DC-DC converters as its secondary power sources. The radio paging receiver is provided with a first DC-DC converter which operates all the time or while the power source is on and a second DC-DC converter which operates intermittently to be active only when the load current is greater. The first DC-DC converter is so set as to be higher in source efficiency under light load and the second, as to normally operate even under heavy load. The first DC-DC converter supplies power to the circuits including a decoder in all the modes including the standby mode and the battery saving mode, both imposing only a light load. The second DC-DC converter intermittently operates to be active only in the heavy-load message data processing and message display modes, and supplies power to a CPU and an LCD signal processor in these modes. The voltages of the first and second DC-DC converters may be different from each other and, if they are, the output of the first DC-DC converter is supplied only to less loaded circuits.
