Title: Door securing device
Inventor: BENNETT NIGEL JOHN
IPC: E05B63/24
Filed: 1995-06-09
Abstract: A securing device for doors, particularly doors of a railway carriage, has a latching arrangement including a latch bolt 43 and a corresponding receptor into which the bolt is to be urged, the latch bolt being designed for use in a secondary locking system. In order to allow the latch to open even when a passenger is leaning against it, the latch bolt has an oblique end surface so that it can be pushed out of the receptor by a force applied in a direction transverse to the urging direction. To make the latch nevertheless secure when the train is moving the latching arrangement further includes a deadlocking means provided by bellcrank 49 and a recess 40 operable on the bolt 43 so as to prevent the bolt being pushed out when the deadlock has been actuated. The device preferably includes a mechanical sensor (55), (Fig 6B) to indicate whether the door is closed. The deadlocking means in (Fig 2a) includes a pair of pivoted levers. <IMAGE>

Title: Exhaust gas recirculation control device in an internal combustion engine
Inventor: ISOBE DAIJI
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 1995-10-30
Abstract: An internal combustion engine comprises an exhaust re-circulation control device which realizes efficient reduction of NOx in the low-temperature idling ranges before the catalytic converter is activated while preventing deterioration of driveability and engine stalling. The exhaust re-circulation control device comprises a re-circulation passage (9) which recirculates a portion of exhaust gas from an engine (1) to an intake system and an exhaust re-circulation valve (10) which opens and closes the re-circulation passage. The engine has a bypass passage (7) which controls idling rpm and an idling rpm control valve (8). In operation the low-temperature idling range before the catalytic converter (5) is activated is detected and an exhaust re-circulation ratio is obtained based on a target idling speed during that time to prevent deterioration of driveability and engine stalling and to efficiently reduce NOx emissions. <IMAGE>

Title: Telephone system having soft call park feature with comfort notification to caller
Inventor: BUTLER CHRIS
IPC: H04M1/72513
Filed: 1996-05-23
Abstract: A called party may set up his equipment (normal or mobile phone or PC) such that an incoming call is put on hold 56 by being placed in a temporary or "soft" call park, and a message 58, 60 is sent to the calling party to indicate that the call will shortly be answered by the called party. The message may be a speech message in the voice of the called party or a text message for display on a PC of the caller. Different messages may be associated with different caller ID's. Once alerted 54 to an incoming call by ringing or vibration of the phone, calling line ID indication on a display, or a flashing icon on a PC, the called party can invoke call parking by pressing a function key or programmable key or by clicking on the icon. Alternatively, the called party apparatus may be set up so that all calls are parked and the message sent to the caller, without requiring immediate action by the called party. The system may be programmed so that the message is sent to the caller at the same time that the caller's phone rings; this alternative mode of operation may be automatically established whenever a document is open on the called party's PC to prevent the called party being disturbed. The called party may retrieve 64 a call on hold by going off hook, pressing a button or clicking on an icon. To implement the system, a telephone server incorporates a user agent (17, Figs. 2-4), a phone agent (19) or mobility agent (21), a call park agent (23), a speech generate agent (25), and a connect agent (27).

Title: Nuclear magnetic resonance well logging
Inventor: TAICHER GERSH ZVI
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 1998-04-03
Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance well logging apparatus includes a magnet (60) for inducing a static magnetic field in a substantially cylindrically shaped sector (58) located in earth formations (26) penetrated by a wellbore (22). The sector (58) subtends an angle of about 60 degrees. The sector is located only on one side of the wellbore and has a longitudinal axis (75) substantially parallel to the wellbore. The apparatus also includes a transmitter (67) for generating a radio frequency magnetic field in the sector for exciting nuclei. The radio frequency magnetic field and the static magnetic field substantially satisfy nuclear magnetic resonance excitation conditions substantially exclusively within the sector. The apparatus includes a receiver (70) for detecting nuclear magnetic resonance signals from the excited nuclei. In one embodiment of the invention, the static magnetic field has a longer dimension along the longitudinal axis than the active length of the transmitter, and the active length of the transmitter is greater than the active length of the receiver so that only fully polarised nuclei are excited by the radio frequency magnetic field and NMR signals are detected only from fully radio frequency-excited nuclei. Magnet 60 may comprise two magnet cylinders 122, 124 (Figure 6), cylinder 124 disposed in a recess 128 formed in one side of cylinder 122.

Title: Theft alarm system
Inventor: HEMSLEY BRIAN
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 1998-10-20
Abstract: The weight of a person attempting entry to a Protected Space (e.g. display and/or storage space in a shop or store) is measured by weighing scale and recorded and the record identified (i.e."labelled" or "tagged") by a connected computer prior to such entry. An admission ticket is issued to the person prior to such entry. On presentation of the admission ticket for reading to a connected reading equipment sited at the Exit of the Protected Space the weight of the person attempting exit from the space is again measured by weighing scale and recorded and identified by the computer. The contents of the two weight records are compared by the computer. Any discrepancy between the two recorded weights is alarmed for investigation, on the assumption that such discrepancy has its origin in unauthorised removal of goods from (or substitution for goods in) the Protected Space.

Title: Caller-influenced call notification at called mobile terminal
Inventor: HIRAI KOUTAROU
IPC: H04W4/14
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: A portable terminal device of a calling party individually sets a sounding pattern to be used for reporting an incoming call, and a called party is informed of the thus-set sounding pattern. As a result, when the terminal device of the called party makes the thus-set sounding pattern, the terminal device enables the user to immediately identify the calling party. In addition to sound 8, blinks of light 10, vibration of a vibrator 12, or the colour of the backlight 13 can be used solely or in combination to identify the calling party. Further, so long as the portable terminal device is provided with display means 4 capable of displaying characters, in addition to the incoming call reporting means, a simple message can be indicated on the portable terminal device. Consequently, the called party can immediately ascertain the nature of the call without directly talking with the calling party through the portable terminal device.
