Title: Switching between code translation and execution using a trampoline
Inventor: BARRACLOUGH GAVIN
IPC: G06F9/318
Filed: 2005-03-11
Abstract: An execution control method is described for use in a translator (19) which converts subject code (17) into target code (21). The translator (19) includes a translator trampoline function 191 which is called from a translator run loop 190 and which in turn calls either to a translator code generator 192 to generate target code, or else calls previously generated target code 212 for execution. Control then returns to the translator trampoline function 191 to make a new call, or returns to the translator run loop 190. Other aspects include making context switches through the trampoline function 191 and setting first and second calling conventions either side of the trampoline function 191. Jumping directly or indirectly between target code blocks 212 during execution is also described.

Title: Vehicle speed monitoring system
Inventor: SMITH BRIAN
IPC: G08G1/052
Filed: 2005-04-18
Abstract: A vehicle speed monitoring system comprises two cameras at different geographic locations connected to a communications network. In a first embodiment, each camera captures images of vehicles and processes said image through a character recognition process to identify a registration number. A data file containing the identified number and time of photograph is then sent to a central processing means. At the central processing means data files from a plurality of cameras are collated and the travel time/average speed of a vehicle between cameras is calculated. If the travel time is less than a minimum value an evidential record is created by requesting the complete images from the respective cameras. In an alternative embodiment the full image with time stamp is transmitted to the central means for character recognition. Each camera is provided with time verification means in order to validate the time stamps on images. The time source for each camera may be a obtained over a TCP/IP network from a broadcast source.

Title: Sanitary door handle
Inventor: LAVY MERON
IPC: E05B1/00
Filed: 2007-12-07
Abstract: This invention relates to a flat sanitary door handle 1 incorporating a self contained mechanical user-operated continuous thin paper/film material advancing system whereby the person touches a fresh length of material 7 while using the flat door handle to open the door thus avoiding hand exposure to the surface of the flat handle 1 which may have been contaminated by previous users. This is achieved by the pull and release of the flat door handle by the user, without any external source of power, the action of which replaces the used length of material with a fresh length and makes the handle ready for use by the next person. The flat door handle 1 is attached to a base 5 that is in turn mounted such as to pivot on a flange 3. The advancing system comprises a feed spool 5 holds a reel of thin non-absorbing non-biodegradable paper/film 7, and a take-up spool 6. To operate the mechanism, the user pulls on the flat handle bar till it reaches a stop position. A ratchet gear 10 pushes against ratchet lever 11 which is spring loaded. A further pull on the handle opens the door. The handle is spring loaded and returns to its original position. During this movement, the ratchet gear and ratchet lever are engaged and rotation of the gear forces the take-up spool 6 to rotate pulling a fresh length of paper/film from the feed reel on spool 5, replacing the paper/film touched by the user.
