Patent GB-0014431-D0 (GB)
Title: Wireless network
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2000-06-13
Abstract: The present invention provides a system which uses a number of network nodes (2) which can communicate wire lessly with communications devices (3-8) coupled to the network. The network nodes are all connected to a network server (1) which can be used to provide additional services, such as Internet connection. The system uses at least a local short range radio connection for interconnecting the network nodes (2) to the communications device (3-8), thereby allowing the user of a communications device access to the network from anywhere within range of a suitable network node. This allows network nodes to be located throughout a building, such that a user can have access to the communications network at any location within the building.

Title: Thermostatic mixing valve
IPC: F16K11/04
Filed: 2000-07-05
Abstract: A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) for operation across a range of flow rates wherein during low pressure operation water enters the TVM (100) into chamber (157) around the circumference of the valve member (150) and cold valve seat (140) and hot water enters into chamber (158), the hot and cold water entering chamber (235) and becoming thoroughly mixed. At low pressure drops, the check valves (230) remain closed so the only pathway the mixed water can follow is through the sensing chamber (125) and the mixed water enters discharge portion (120) to the mixed water outlet (245), the flow path of the hot and cold water shown by pathways (255) and (260), the water becomes thoroughly mixed before entering the sensing chamber (225). For high flow rate operation the water enters and is mixed within the valve as before but in this case the pressure drop across the check valve operates the check valves (230), allowing the mixed water to follow an additional route to the discharge portion (120) and thence to the outlet (245) with additional flow pathway (265) through the valves (230), ensuring accurate temperature sensing.

Title: Encouraging exercise whilst playing electronic games
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2005-07-13
Abstract: In order to encourage people who are playing an electronic games machine (12) also to take exercise, and to encourage users of exercise machines (76) who simultaneously play a games machine to exercise at a particular rate, an interrupter system (34) is added to an existing connection (18,20,22) between the games machine and its controller (14) so as to provide a modified connection. Operation of the exercise machine is detected, and the interrupter system is used selectively to enable and interrupt the modified connection between the game controller and the games machine to enable and interrupt normal operation of the games machine in dependence upon the detected operation of the exercise machine. The normal operation of the games machine may be interrupted if the rate of operation of the exercise machine is detected as being below a predetermined threshold and/or above a pre-determined threshold. Accordingly, a parent can arrange it such that their child cannot play normally on a games machine unless the child also exercises on the exercise machine. Also, a user of an exercise machine and games machine can be encouraged to exercise in a particular manner, otherwise their game will be interrupted.

Patent GB-0917013-D0 (GB)
Title: Memory device with error correction capability and efficient partial word write operation
Filed: 2007-04-26
Abstract: A memory device comprises a memory array and error correction circuitry coupled to the memory array. The memory device is configured to perform at least a partial word write operation and a read operation, with the partial word write operation comprising a read phase and a write phase. The write phase of the partial word write operation occurs in the same clock cycle of the memory device as the read operation by, for example, time multiplexing bitlines of the memory array within the clock cycle between the write phase of the partial word write operation and the read operation. Thus, the partial word write operation appears to a higher-level system incorporating or otherwise utilizing the memory device as if that operation requires only a single clock cycle of the memory device.
