Patent GB-0109397-D0 (GB)
Title: Vacuum cleaner
IPC: A47L9/00
Filed: 2001-04-17
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner comprises a dust bag (10) mounted in a compartment (12) which is closed by a removable closure (18) which forms a part of the housing of the cleaner. The dust bag (10) comprises a cardboard collar (15) around its opening having a tab (17) which projects into a passageway (19) formed on the under surface of the closure (18). The passageway is inclined relative to the vertical and thus the tab (17) becomes trapped as the closure is removed from the cleaner, thereby lifting the bag (10) out of the cleaner without the need for the user to touch the dirty bag. <??>As the bag (10) is removed, a shutter closes the inlet to the bag (10) to prevent the egress of dust. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-0206053-D0 (GB)
Title: Control of avalanche photodiodes bias voltage
IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: An optical communications system using forward error correction (FEC) to correct errors in signals carried by the system. Optical signals on the system are dropped at nodes and converted to electrical signals by avalanche photodiodes (APDs) at the node receivers. An FEC chip operates on the electrical signal to correct errors. The error rate is used to control the APD bias voltage which affects signal noise and therefore error rate. The errors in a predetermined interval are counted and a determination made as to whether the error rate is rising with time. The bias voltage is derived from the value of a counter whose count is incremented each interval. If the error rate is rising, the counting direction is changed.

Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: Two east components 10 & 20 are brought into abutment with each other whilst aligning with each other a first aperture 23 & 25 in each component. A die tool 53 is inserted through the aligned first apertures, pressure is applied on external surfaces of the components thereby deforming the components and forcing the components against the inserted die tool. The pressure is stopped and the die tool then withdrawn. The components also comprise second 21 & 22 and third apertures which are brought into alignment when the components are brought into abutment and through which second 62 and third die tools are inserted. The interior surfaces of these apertures are also forced into contact wit respective die tools when the pressure is applied. After die forming at least one of the apertures is burnished by forcing a ball (81, fig. 13) through said aperture. The components may be used to make a gearbox casing. A similar method can also be employed when joining components which have not been cast.
