Patent GB-2292159-A (GB)
Title: Resilient panels
Inventor: SNELL THOMAS BARTLETT
IPC: A61D3/00
Filed: 1995-08-10
Abstract: A panel for a padded enclosure, such as a large animal treatment room in veterinary practices, has a resilient body with an impermeable skin or a plastics coating (5) over one face and the edges. The edges have longitudinal grooves (4) and the coating follows them so that when two panels are placed edge to edge there is a concealed void. These edges (2) are adhered and sealed together when lining the enclosure, coated faces innermost, but the sealant/adhesive (6) does not fill the voids. These voids compensate for the stiffness that would be inherent in a plain coated edge and make the cushioning effect of the padding substantially uniform. <IMAGE>

Title: Yeast strains and modified albumins
Inventor: KERRY-WILLIAMS SEAN MARTIN
IPC: C12N15/81
Filed: 1995-03-01
Abstract: Albumin, for example human albumin, is expressed and secreted in yeast which has been mutated to lack the yeast aspartyl protease 3 (Yap3p) or its equivalent, thereby reducing the production of a 45kD albumin fragment.

Title: Frequency selection in a receiver in which unwanted signals are selected by filtering and fed back to be subtracted from the input
Inventor: TOLSON NIGEL JAMES
IPC: H03D7/16
Filed: 1998-10-09
Abstract: The radio receiver, having a broadband IF, does not require SAW filters and can be implemented fully in ASIC. Unwanted products from the output of the second down conversion mixer (6) are filtered out (10,11), restored to IF frequency (12) phase shifted (13) and added at the IF frequency to an input of the second mixer to cancel the unwanted products and linearise the mixer. Active filters may be used to select the wanted and unwanted signals output from the second mixer. The active filters can be programmed to accommodate different bandwidths for operation as a multi-mode receiver within a number of different radio standards. In direct conversion receivers (Figs 3 and 4) the unwanted output signals from the mixer are added in antiphase to an RF input of the mixer.

Title: Generating multiple ramps for video wipes
Inventor: GREENWOOD JONATHAN MARK
IPC: H04N5/265
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: A solid generator allows multiple identical solids to be produced in respective ones of the tiles of a rectangular array of tiles. The tiles may occupy a whole frame, may be shifted relative to the edges of the frame. One row of tiles may be shifted relative to another row. The array may be passed across the frame. The tiles may occupy a part of the frame. A single ramp (fig.4) is in the form of a plane defined by coefficients A, B and C and coordinates h and v where h=pixels along a line and v=lines. Values of A, B and C for various tiles are stored in registers and used in relation to the individual tiles. Multiple such ramps may be combined to produce a solid which can then be used in wipe or mask generation. Edge modulation may be applied to ramps including modulation by random none generated via a random number generator. By varying the ramp coefficients a clock-wipe may be produced.
