Title: Corrugated cable duct
Inventor: TADOKORO SHINICHI
IPC: H02G3/30
Filed: 2002-06-12
Abstract: A corrugated cable duct 21 is formed with a slit 25 running down the length of the duct 25 so that a cable can be pushed in. Running down a first edge, caused by the slit 25, is a lip 28, which can be pushed under a second edge, caused by the slit 25, to keep cables in place. To give the duct 21 greater flexibility to do this, the lip 28 may have a number of circumferential slits (45, fig 8) or a groove (53,55, fig 10) running down the edges of the duct 21 formed by the slit 25. Each corrugation may have a sealed face (32,34, fig 10) or an open face. The duct 21, may be formed by extracting a tubular body from a die and then applying air pressure to, or evacuating, sections of the duct 21, to form the corrugations as well as a flat portion (27, fig 7), which can be later machined to have the slit 25.

Patent GB-2393061-A (GB)
Title: Composite video signal decoding
Inventor: WESTON MARTIN
IPC: H04N9/78
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: A method of decoding a composite colour television signal in which for various stages of processing portions of the input signal at a temporal position, measurements are used from earlier and later temporal positions. This includes demodulating the chrominance signal with a subcarrier derived using later and earlier phase measurements, stabilising the DC component in dependence on earlier and later level measurements and separating high frequency luminance from demodulated chrominance using earlier and later phase measurements. A further aspect of the invention provides a method of decoding a composite colour television signal in which high frequency luminance recovered from the output of a chrominance demodulator is adjusted to correct for distortion introduced prior to decoding, for example to minimise the risetime of a luminance edge or to maximise the peak height of a luminance pulse, or to have a phase dependent on earlier and later phase measurements. A further aspect requires a reference subcarrier to be derived from the colour burst without negative feedback.
Patent GB-2385441-A (GB)
Title: Method of developing software programs for resource constrained mobile computing devices
Inventor: SPOONER DAVID
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2002-10-22
Abstract: A method of developing a software program for resource constrained mobile computing devices comprises the step of using a library of three mandatory types of code which enable a system to be modelled, the three types of code being: <SL> <LI>(a) a first re-useable object which defines the transmission of raw binary data between a writer end and a reader end; <LI>(b) a second re-useable object which defines ordered name/value pairs and <LI>(c) an abstract API definition that defines how to write, create, call or use a task which handles the first and/or second objects. </SL> This very high level abstraction has been found, surprisingly, to apply to virtually all systems which have been analysed by the applicant. Hence, the present invention allows a small (deliberately restricted), core library of "primitives" to be built once and re-used very many times as building blocks by different applications. Re-use of code defining high level abstractions considerably reduces overall code size (a major technical advantage for mobile computing devices) and speeds up developing new programs (major technical advantage in the rapidly moving world of program development for mobile computing devices).

Title: Optic fibre cable with large number of fibre cores
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2002-11-26
Abstract: An optic fibre cable has much more fibers 123 per cable, such as even 1,000 or 10,000 times more than what is being done today, with an increase in cost that is orders of magnitude smaller. The cable may contain multi-fiber flexible flat jackets that can move freely within a cable's pipe 121, preferably with the pipe divided into at least two cells, so that it can bend only in the desired direction and have maximum structural strength. A rolled, flat, flexible jacket 122c of eg. 20,000 fibres 123c and a flexible, multilayer structure 122d are shown. Another important feature is various methods for optimizing the efficiency of amplifying multiple fibers simultaneously. Another important feature is significantly reducing the cost of the end-equipment by duplicating each lambda into multiple fibers and on/off modulating it separately for each fiber, so that much less laser sources are needed.

Title: Process for synthesizing tackifier resin
Inventor: COTTMAN KIRKWOOD STORER
IPC: C08F210/14
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: The conversions of 2-methyl-2-butene, cis-piperylene, and cyclopentene that are attained in polymerizations that are catalyzed with aluminum halide catalysts are increased by conducting the polymerization in the presence of an allylic halide, such as allyl chloride.

The present invention more specifically discloses a process for synthesizing a resin having characteristics that make it particularly useful as a tackifier resin, the process comprising the polymerization of an unsaturated hydrocarbon monomer mixture in the presence of aluminum halide and an allylic halide, wherein the unsaturated hydrocarbon monomer mixture is comprised of unsaturated hyrdocarbon monomers containing from about 4 to about 18 carbon atoms. The subject invention further reveals a process for synthesizing a resin having characteristics that make it particularly useful as a tackifier resin, said process comprising the polymerization of an unsaturated hydrocarbon monomer mixture in the presence of aluminum halide and an allylic halide, wherein the unsaturated hydrocarbon monomer mixture is comprised of monomers including but not limited to 2-methyl-2-butene, cis-piperylene, trans-piperylene, cyclopentene, and additional unsaturated hyrdocarbon monomers containing from about 4 to about 18 carbon atoms.

Title: A method of detecting non-linear junctions using re-radiated electromagnetic signals
Inventor: BARSUMIAN BRUCE R
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2000-06-02
Abstract: Electromagnetic signals 14 are transmitted from an antenna 12 at a fundamental frequency and waves 16,18, re-radiated by a non-linear junction, such as a semiconductor within an eavesdropping device 10, are received at harmonic frequencies. The transmitted signal may comprise a modulated tone and the presence of a similar tone in the received signals used to confirm that the transmitted and received signals correspond. Transmission may be made at more than one power level and relative amplitude levels of received second and third harmonic signals at the different power levels may be compared to discriminate between different types of non-linear junctions. Received harmonic signals are sampled with an analog-to-digital converter at predetermined intervals to produce a series of sampled values which are examined to determine if a non-linear junction is present.
