Title: Battery full charge capacity detection
Inventor: TAMAI MIKITAKA
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 2008-04-07
Abstract: In a fully-charged battery capacity detection method, first and second no-load voltages (VOCV1, VOCV2) of a battery are detected at first no-load timing and second no-load timing, respectively. First and second remaining capacities (SOC1 [%], SOC2 [%]) of the battery are determined based on the first and second no-load voltages, respectively, if the first no-load voltage (VOCV1) falls within a predetermined voltage range. A fully-charged capacity (Ahf) of the battery is calculated based on a remaining capacity variation rate (  w  S [%]) and a capacity variation value (  w  Ah) of the battery. The variation rate of the remaining capacity is calculated based on the difference between the first and second remaining capacities. The capacity variation value of the battery is calculated based the integrated value of the charging current and discharge currents of the battery to be charged/discharged from the first no-load timing to the second no-load timing.

Title: Rotary action draw latch
Inventor: VICKERS JAMES H
IPC: E05C19/12
Filed: 2007-02-16
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a latching system that includes a latch assembly, a cup, and a keeper plate. The latch assembly includes a base, a lever, and a catch. The lever is pivotally connected to the base and the catch is pivotally connected to the lever. The base is pivotally attached to the cup such that it rotates about an axis of rotation that is perpendicular in direction in relation to the direction of the axis of rotation of the lever relative to the base. The keeper plate includes a keeper projection. The lever can be lifted and the latch assembly rotated about the axis of rotation of the base to clear the keeper from the catch and thereby allow the opening of a first closure member relative to a second closure member.

Abstract: A DVD player provides multinational, or multiple language subtitles, displaying them as a sub-picture (figure 4), the sub-picture being generated according to a transform mode TM (e.g. real-time or batch processing). A navigation and preload unit 15 receives data from a DVD 14, including sub-picture data, and receives language selection 12 and transform mode 13 control signals, and outputs digital data to a de-muxer unit 16 and sub-picture data 203 to a sub-picture transforming unit 204 which transforms it into image pictures 205 under control of a signal control unit 202 according to the language selection 12 and transform mode 13. Sub-picture transforming unit 204 and signal control unit 202 form part of a text-type sub-picture generation module 20, which generates a sub-picture display file which is stored in the text-sub-picture buffering unit 207. The de-muxer unit 16 outputs audio data to an audio output device 21 via audio decoding unit 17 and video data to a video sub-picture composing unit 22 via video decoding unit 18, the composing unit 22 receiving and linking the video data and sub-picture display file for display on video output device 23. The sub-picture display may include browsing area, vocabulary explanation, pronunciation help, and selecting a sentence may start playback of the video from that point. The DVD player may be used in language learning.

Title: Improvements in or relating to pipe or hose couplings
IPC: F16L37/28
Filed: 1951-04-30
Abstract: 700,780. Pipe couplings. AEROQUIP CORPORATION. April 30, 1951 [April 29, 1950], No. 10124/51. Class 99 (1). [Also in Group XXIX] A pipe or hose coupling, particularly for use with tractor and trailer vehicles, which is adapted to be automatically disconnected when tractor and trailer part, comprises a coupling body 2 connected to the tractor pipes 5, 6, slide valves 34, 35 mounted on the body and adapted to close ports 20, 21, and coupler heads 3, 4 on the trailer pipes 10, 11 adapted to be secured to the valves so as positively to open and close the ports during the coupling and uncoupling movements. The coupler heads have spring-loaded valves 58, and are so constructed that they can be coupled to one another when removed from the body 2 for the purpose of excluding dirt. The slide valves have flanges 36, 37, Fig. 8, which engage grooves 31, 32 in the body 2, and the coupler heads have flanges 67, 68, Fig. 9, which also engage the grooves 31, 32. Fig. 9 shows the coupler 3 secured to the coupler 4, the flanges 67, 68 of each coupler engaging the adjacent grooves 69, 70 of the other coupler, and a pivoted catch 71 on the coupler 4 engaging a recess 76 in the coupler 3. The couplers are secured to the slide valves by lateral movement when the valves are shut, lugs 78, Fig. 3, on the valves engaging recesses 77 in the couplers. The valves and couplers are held on the body 2 by a resilient retaining plate 40, Figs. 7 and 8, and by a resilient clamping plate 42. In the coupled position detents 79 lie behind a latch pin 45 carried by the free end of plate 40. For automatic release the detents cam the pin upwards against the resilience of plate 40. For manual engagement and release of the couplers the pin 45 may be moved axially under the control of a spring 48, Fig. 7, out of the path of either of the detents as shown in Fig. 8. The valves 58 of the couplers 3, 4 are controlled by a piston 23 mounted with slight clearance in a cylinder 22 connecting the two chambers 12, 13 of the body 2. As pressure builds up in, say, the chamber 13, the valve 58 of coupler 4 is directly opened, and the piston is moved so that its rod 25 opens the valve 58 of coupler 3. When flow of fluid through the pipe 6 and chamber 13 ceases, seepage of fluid past the piston initiates equalisation of pressure between chambers 12 and 13, and the valve of coupler 3 begins to close under spring action. Movement of the piston opens channels 27, 28 in the cylinder wall so as to increase the rate of equalisation and of the closing movement of the valve. A reverse series of movements will occur if pressure is built up in the chamber 12 instead of in the chamber 13.

Abstract: 753,625. Electric selective signalling. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. April 8, 1954 [April 8, 1953], No. 10298/54. Class 40(1) A burette comprises a tubular chamber having axially disposed therein an insulating rod carrying axially spaced electric contacts adapted to be contacted by liquid within the tube. The chamber is preferably of metal, e.g. stainless steel, and consists of globular portions 12, 18, 22, 24 of predetermined volumes joined by smaller cylindrical portions 16, 20, 26, 28, platinum contacts 40, 42 projecting from an axially disposed glass tube 34, being positioned between the globular portions. For dispensing measured quantities of electrically non-conducting liquid, e.g. petrol, the tubular chamber is coupled at 32 to a tank 4 filled with electrically conducting liquid, e.g. water, heavier than and immiscible with the petrol. The burette is then filled with petrol through an opening 8, and is subsequently dispensed through this opening 8 by applying pressure at the tank inlet 6 causing the conducting liquid to rise in the burette and close electric circuits through the various contacts 42, 40 indicative of the volume of petrol dispensed.

Abstract: 1,074,585. Transistor pulse circuits. MARCONI CO. Ltd. Feb. 25, 1964 [March 15, 1963], No. 10301/63. Addition to 1,008,739. Heading H3T. In a circuit for extracting field synchronizing pulses from a combined television synchronizing signal, the pulses are arranged to charge a capacitor (K) connected across a junction transistor (T2) in such a way that the transistor (T2) only becomes conductive in response to longer duration field pulses. As described, the normally saturated transistor T is made non-conductive by each negative-going pulse at A from a composite television synchronizing waveform so that capacitor K is allowed to charge to a voltage dependent on the duration of each pulse. Short-duration line pulses do not charge the capacitor sufficiently to overcome the bias at the emitter of T2 but longerduration field pulses charge capacitor K sufficiently to allow T2 to become conductive, whereupon the effect of the feedback resistor R5 results a step in the base waveform thus causing a steep-fronted negative-going pulse to be emitted from the collector. In Fig. 1 (not shown) the junction transistor T2 is replaced by a uni-junction transistor or PNPN diode as described in Specification 1,008,739.
