Title: Vented ridge assembly preventing rain ingress into conservatory
Inventor: BRADSHAW WILLIAM
IPC: E04D3/08
Filed: 2005-04-22
Abstract: A vented ridge assembly 1 has at least one baffle assembly 100 which defines a ventilation path 140 having interior 150 and exterior 160 openings, the assembly is arranged to deflect airborne water entering the vent through the exterior opening, thus restricting the ingress of rain water into a building via the vent. Preferably two baffle assemblies are provided on either side of the ridge. Incoming air may flow directly from a first baffle assembly to the second assembly. Preferably each ventilation path is defined by upper 110 and lower 120 baffle members spaced apart by distance pieces 130. Each baffle assembly preferably has three expansion chambers which change the air speed therethrough and two deflectors (119, 129, fig 3) which act to create vortices (144, 146, figure 3) which deflect incoming air and airborne water. Any water passing the preliminary deflector closest to the exterior opening is stopped by the next deflector and is permitted to exit the vent via drain holes in the preliminary deflector.

Title: Adaptive illumination device
Inventor: CUTLER SHAUN
IPC: F21V14/02
Filed: 2006-03-30
Abstract: A pair of lighting units are connected together by a hinge and a gear mechanism (fig 3) so that angular movement of one lighting unit causes equivalent movement of the other in the opposite direction. The resulting dual beam pattern has a less intense central beam and distributes the light to the outer limits of a scene (fig 9b). The lighting units pivot away from each other for wide angle operation and toward each other for telephoto operation. Each lighting unit may comprise a housing and a matrix of light emitters on a front surface, such as LEDs that emit visible or infra-red light. The gear mechanism can be linked to a servo motor so that the light units move under electronic control, which can be linked with the zoom control of a camera lens. The illuminator may be used with CCTV cameras and may include an indicator of the selected beam pattern comprising cogs and an arrow (fig 4) or a key (fig 5) to aid setting up.

Title: Noise reduction in digital hall sensors for position detection in motors
Inventor: MORITA WILLIAM K JR
IPC: G06M7/00
Filed: 2005-05-10
Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for error-compensated counting of Hall states for motor position feedback and/or commutation. An indicated Hall state is detected by digital Hall state sensors and a duration of the Hall state is compared to a specified time period. When the duration exceeds the specified time period, the indicated Hall state is compared to one or more valid Hall states and a position counter is changed for valid states. When the indicated Hall state is invalid, the position counter is not changed. The Hall state sensors may be connected to logic means and may detect the position of a rotor of a permanent magnet motor relative to a stator. When noise induces a change in an indicated Hall state, corresponding noise-induced effects on the position counter may be may be removed through error-compensated counting.

Title: Nitride structures with AlInN current confinement layers
Inventor: BOUSQUET VALERIE
IPC: H01L33/00
Filed: 2007-11-09
Abstract: A III-nitride compound device structures, such as for laser diodes or LEDs, have one or more current confinement layers 7 of AIInN and formed with an aperture. The confinement layer 7 may be positioned in the n or p cladding layers.

The selection of either the data signal S1 or GNSS signals N for determining the location of the mobile device 1 may be based on the number of signals received, the presence or absence of one or more signals or the relative strengths of the received signals. The system may further comprise a GPS receiver (3,Fig.1) providing a location signal to the transmitter (1,Fig.1). The transmitter (1,Fig.1) may derive its data signal from the GPS receiver (3,Fig.3) and may transmit its data signal S1 into a space where navigation signals are not available V, so enabling the mobile device to provide an improved indication of location. The arrangement is particularly suited to allow a mobile device to determine its position within a building.
