Title: Clock calibration in a mobile radio communications device
Inventor: ORMSON RICHARD
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2004-12-23
Granted: 2007-02-14
Abstract: A master clock is turned off at instant 1 for a portion of a pre-determined time (e.g. a paging cycle). The master clock is turned back on at instant 2, when the sleep clock is turned off, and counts the clock cycles until instant 3 (the end of the paging cycle). As the number of master clock cycles is already known for the entire paging cycle, by subtracting the main clock cycles between instant 2 and 3 then the main clock cycles between instants 1 and 2 can be calculated. This can then be compared to the number of sleep clock cycles counted by the sleep clock for the same period and hence cross calibration can be performed. This decreases battery power as only one clock is active at a time and also conventional hardware calibration arrangements are not required.

Title: Upright support for gantry
Inventor: RADMALL PAUL
IPC: A61G7/10
Filed: 2008-02-20
Granted: 2012-08-08
Abstract: An upright support assembly for a gantry includes a base with primary ground engaging means, such as wheels and a stabilizing member which is pivotally connected to the support assembly so as to be moveable between a stowed position folded against the support assembly and a deployed position in which it engages the ground to hold the support assembly upright. The stabilizing member includes a ground engaging fitting at its outer end which is adapted to engage the ground in the deployed position to stabilize the support assembly in the upright position, and to engage and roll over the ground in the stowed position when the support assembly is lowered to the ground so that the base and primary ground engaging means can be lifted off the ground and the support assembly moved on the ground engaging fitting.

Title: Electronic timepiece
IPC: G04G3/02
Filed: 1979-10-19
Granted: 1983-01-06
Abstract: An electronic watch comprises a stepping motor 6 for driving a mechanism for displaying the time information, a quartz crystal controlled oscillator 1, a frequency divider 2 with an adjustable division ratio, a circuit 7 for adjusting the division ratio eg by suppressing a number of pulses from the oscillator to the divider, a memory 8 containing data corresponding to the number of the pulses to be suppressed in each adjusting, cycle and a logic circuit 10 which, in response to an interrogation signal, (switch 9) produces a measuring signal at the output of gate 19 which is supplied to the coil of the stepping motor and which comprises a series of pulse trains whose distribution is representative of the division factor and the frequency of the oscillator and whose duration is sufficiently short so as not to cause the motor to rotate and sufficiently long to cause a magnetic stray field from the motor which can be detected by an external apparatus for measuring therefrom the rate of the watch. The interrogation signal upon closure of switch 9 causes the divider to divide with its unadjusted value. A gate 11 is enabled by 1 Hz pulses at 11a to pass trains of 256 Hz pulses in alternate half quartz-second intervals. The pulses pass through the gate 19 until their number, counted by counter 17, equals the adjustment number eg 5 held in memory 8. The interrogation signal also acts on switch circuit 4 to disconnect the motor control inputs at 4a 4b of circuit 5 from the divider 2, and apply the measuring signal pulses at input 4e from the gate 19 instead. In the embodiment described, a "quartz-second" is shorter than a normal second, the watch crystal frequency being higher than a nominal frequency, alternatively the measuring signal may be transmitted acoustically. The external measuring apparatus is described in App No. 79/36415. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for the design and manufacture of footwear
IPC: A43D1/00
Filed: 1980-05-14
Granted: 1983-03-16
Abstract: A method of deriving patterns for shoe manufacture, whereby leather pieces can be cut in accordance with the derived patterns for making the shoes. The method consists in using a computer to operate on three-dimensional co-ordinate information concerning (a) the shape of the shoe last and (b) the shape of style lines to produce three-dimensional co-ordinate information which is subjected to a grading program. The grading program produces three-dimensional co-ordinate information for different sizes which may be displayed in three-dimensional form and possibly modified. The individual graded co-ordinate information for each size is subjected to a flattening program to produce respective patterns.

Title: A method and plant for cooling gases and removing dust from them
Inventor: HAMMARSKOG BJORN
IPC: B01D51/00
Filed: 1985-02-28
Granted: 1989-01-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a plant for cooling gases and removing dust from them. In a first step after saturation with water vapour, the gas is brought to accelerate, additional water being simultaneously added to the dust particles in the gas, whereupon the gas flow thus loaded is brought to pass over the surface of the water in a first sedimentation container (1) so that the majority of the dust content is released to the sump in the sedimentation container (1). The gas flow is thereafter subjected to final cleaning and cooling in a second step, through direct contact with water, whereupon the water utilized in this manner, possibly via a second sedimentation container (2), is wholly or partially returned to the first step.

Title: Braking and positioning process for bar steel
Inventor: SCHAUER WINFRIED
Filed: 1986-02-28
Granted: 1989-03-01
Abstract: The process is for controlled braking and positioning of bar steel, with bar inlet speed, inlet acceleration, and braking distance, being determined at or after the cooling bed cutter. A jerk-movement is used, to transfer the speed into a constant braking phase. Constant comparison of the braking distance already covered, with the braking distance still available, during braking, is used to determine the technologically necessary decceleration. This is done, using the available braking distance, and a pre-set outlet speed and acceleration; to determine the transfer points for the jerks.

Abstract: The image display system displays image data from an image memory on multiple image planes and vertical scrolling can be independently effected for each of the image planes displayed. Assuming that two image planes are displayed on upper and lower areas, display starting addresses lying in the vertical direction of the upper and lower image planes and stored in two registers are loaded into a counter via a switch in a display period of the upper and lower image planes to generate addresses in the vertical direction of the upper and lower image planes. The vertical scrolling operation only for one of the upper and lower image planes can be effected by sequentially updating the display starting addresses lying in the vertical direction of the upper and lower image planes and held in one of the registers. @(42pp Dwg.No.4/8)@
