Title: Remote fault acknowledgement system
Inventor: ROSADO CARINA
IPC: B60R25/10
Filed: 2005-01-12
Abstract: A fault detection alarm system transmits a message to a remote location on detection of a fault and is able to receive a message from the remote location, allowing an off-site technician to be alerted to a failure and to acknowledge it or take action to correct it. The message may take the form of SMS, MMS or email and may use a standard telecommunication network. It is disclosed that the system may also apply labels to alarm events, indicating their category and processing status. In one example the detected fault is an attempted break-in to a car.

Title: Position encoding patterns, and systems and method using the same
Inventor: GONZALEZ ANDREU
IPC: G06K1/12
Filed: 2005-04-25
Abstract: A substrate carries a background pattern, in which local portions of the background pattern uniquely identify a location of the background pattern over the substrate. The local portions identify a location according to predetermined interpretation criteria. The background pattern comprises a plurality of regions, each region comprising at least one local portion, wherein the regions are arranged in positions over the substrate such that, for a plurality of the regions, the location or locations identified by the local portion or portions of the region, according to the interpretation criteria, do not correspond with the position of the local portion or portions over the substrate. The substrate thus has re-arranged portions, so that the location information received, when the substrate is used in a digital pen and paper system, does not provide the correct location information. The specific arrangement of the regions over the substrate is required to enable the location information to be correctly interpreted.

Title: Tuning apparatus for stringed musical instrument
Inventor: RIBOLOFF JOHN THOMAS
IPC: G10D3/04
Filed: 2003-01-13
Abstract: A tuning apparatus for a stringed musical instrument includes a bridge base having a support surface, and a plurality of string holders for the plurality of strings of the musical instrument. Each of the string holders is supported on the bridge base for movement in a direction toward or away from a nut of the musical instrument.

Title: Method for sealing liquid cooled stator bar end connections for a generator
Inventor: ROWE RAYMOND GRANT
IPC: H02K15/00
Filed: 2005-10-13
Abstract: A method includes blasting the interior surfaces of the fitting (18) to stator bar (16) strand joint with CO2 pellets to remove loose copper oxide which otherwise would interfere with proper sealing between an epoxy and the copper surfaces of the joint. After cleaning the surfaces and applying air under pressure to remove particulate material, epoxy (44) is applied to the brazed joints followed by an evacuation of the fitting to strand joint. Subsequent release of the vacuum ensures that the epoxy fills in all crevices or cracks at the joint surfaces and minimizes or eliminates any tendency of the epoxy to delaminate.

Title: A releasable anchor plug and socket assembly securing under tension
Inventor: YOUNGER RAE
IPC: F16B21/08
Filed: 2006-08-14
Abstract: A releasable connector assembly to secure an elongate element under tension comprises an anchor plug and a socket. The plug comprises a core member 4 with a tip 8, an indexing sleeve 9 freely rotatably and axially slidably mounted on the core member 4, and an outer sleeve 7 concentrically mounted around the indexing sleeve 9 and secured to the tip 8. Locking dogs 17 are slidably mounted in and biased to extend from outer sleeve 7 slots 16 to engage socket lip 6. The indexing sleeve 9 when lowered relative to the outer sleeve 7 engages behind the dogs 17 to lock them in their extended position beneath lip 6 (fig. 17) but can be raised by lip 6 on further insertion of the plug to allow the dogs 17 to retract into the outer sleeve 7 so as to pass the lip for engagement and disengagement. Followers 15 extending from the sleeve 7 engage into channels 11 on sleeve 9 to constrain it to move relative to the outer sleeve 7 in a predefined sequence of rotational and axial movements. Locking pins 13 located in channels 12 can fall to engage followers 15 and hold the sleeve 9 raised or can be raised by engagement with lip 6 to allow the sleeve 9 to move down.

Title: Ratchet mechanism for service outlet box with lid frame
Inventor: HARRISON JOHN ROBERT
IPC: F16B21/02
Filed: 2007-06-29
Abstract: A service outlet box comprises a base and a lid frame mounted via a plurality of ratchet mechanisms relative to the base. Each ratchet mechanism comprises a pin 14 mounted in a sleeve 16, one of the pin and sleeve being associated with the base, and the other associated with the lid frame. The pin and sleeve are mounted for relative rotation about a longitudinal axis between an engaged position (Fig 6a), in which a ratchet rack 20 and a pawl 26 are engaged so that relative movement of the pin and sleeve in a first direction parallel to the longitudinal axis is restricted, and a disengaged position (Fig 6b) in which the pawl runs over a smooth surface 21 and so relative movement of the pin and sleeve in the first direction is permitted. Thus rotating the sleeve releases the lid. Alternatively, the pin may be of oval cross-section and so not need a smooth surface.

Title: Transmission control device that limits shifting based on a permissible range
Inventor: MATSUBARA TOORU
IPC: B60K6/365
Filed: 2007-12-07
Abstract: A control device for a drive system (e.g. an automatic transmission system) in a hybrid vehicle properly controls a shift in a transmission portion 20 upon receipt of a shift demand so that a given element of a differential portion 11 is not subjected to damaging relatively high rotational speeds. For a shift demand to the transmission 20, the transmission portion shift limiting means (86, fig 7) determines a permissible range in terms of a speed ratio of the transmission 20 in consideration of the rotational speed of the given element of the differential portion 11 for thereby limiting shifting of the transmission portion 20 based on the permissible range. Thus, when the shift demand to the transmission 20 is present, the given element of the differential portion 11 can avoid high rotation rotational speeds. This enables suppression of the high rotational speeds of, for instance, first and second electric motors M1, M2 and a first planetary gear P1, thereby improving durability of the first and second electric motors M1, M2 and the first planetary gear P1.
