Title: Electronic access control system using two-dimensional bar codes
Inventor: MORRIS DANIEL
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2007-08-29
Abstract: Information in the form of a two-dimensional bar code is transmitted to and displayed on the screen of, an electronic communications device such as a mobile phone or PDA. This information may be an electronic ticket, give access to an outlet for the transfer of money, represent a promotional voucher or be associated with an interactive television ticketing system. The two dimensional bar code pattern 1 is in the form of a matrix of rows and columns of data cells of either a first or second colour representing encoded data bits, and contains at least one locating symbol 12 at a predetermined position within the bar code pattern. The bar code pattern is detected by analysing a received image to identify potential occurrences of a locating symbol(s) within the image, validating the potential occurrences of locating symbols to identify a locating symbol(s) within the image, and identifying the location of the bar code pattern within the image on the basis of the position(s) of the identified locating symbol(s). The bar code pattern may include check cells 16,17,18 in the form of column parity check cells 16, row parity check cells 17 and data region 14 sum check cells 18.

Title: Eccentric radial piston pump and eccentric radial piston motor
Inventor: MORINO KENJI
IPC: F04B1/06
Filed: 2006-03-24
Abstract: An eccentric radial piston pump and an eccentric radial piston motor. In the eccentric radial piston pump, a rib (12) projected in the radial direction is formed on the delivery side end part inner peripheral surface of an eccentric cam ring (3) over a prescribed range. In the eccentric radial piston motor, a rib (12) projected in the radial direction is formed on the high-pressure side end part inner peripheral surface of the eccentric cam ring (3) over a prescribed range. The rigidity of the eccentric cam ring (3) is increased by the rib (12) formed in the radial direction to prevent the eccentric cam ring from being deformed by a thrust from a piston. Thus, the rigidity of the eccentric cam ring can be increased without increasing the wall thickness of the eccentric cam ring and the outside dimensions of the eccentric cam ring in the radial direction can be reduced in the eccentric radial piston pump and the eccentric radial piston motor.

Title: PBX providing incoming calling extended to an off-premises terminal
Inventor: ABRAMSON SANDRA R
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2008-02-05
Abstract: A telecommunications system is disclosed that enables a user to pair a desk set 103 that is an extension of a private-branch exchange (PBX) with a cell phone 101 that is accessible via the Public Switched Telephone Network. One feature of the telecommunications system enables an incoming call that is directed to the user's desk set to be automatically forwarded to the user's cell phone, while in the presence of third-party call control. This is advantageous to the user because it provides the illusion to the caller that the user is physically in his or her office when she is not necessarily there. The third-party call control can be part of a computer-telephony integration (CTI) application  G  for example, in a telephone telemarketing center, which handles many incoming telephone calls.

Abstract: 634,795. Ratchet clutches. ECKINGTON, F. J., (formerly SMITH, F. J.). April 15, 1947, No. 10015. [Class 80 (ii)] A low-drag ratchet-clutch for cycles and other purposes, which allows overrun in both directions without pawl contact, comprises a double-toothed pawl 10, pivoted on a floating carrier-plate 8 and pressed by a blade-spring 12 into permanent engagement with internal ratchet-teeth in a freely-mounted driving sprocket-ring 20, and out of engagement with oppositely-inclined external ratchet-teeth on a coaxial inner driven ring 5 which may be connected to a final driven hub 2 either directly, or, as shown, through a subsidiary pawl-and-ratchet clutch 6a, 5a. As shown, the main pawl 10 has a side-lug 18 engageable with one of a series of facial spiral grooves 19, Fig. 3, in a stationary side-plate 17 so that under forward drive-torque, the pawl lug rides down and finally out of a groove to bring the pawl into engagement with the driven ratchet-ring 5 whilst still maintaining engagement with the driving ratchet-ring 20, thus transmitting a one-way drive therebetween. On cessation of drive-torque, the blade-spring 12 disengages the pawl 10 entirely from the driven ratchet-ring 5 only, leaving the driven member free to rotate in either direction without any resistance from the pawl, the lug 18 of which moves into and remains in one of the fixed grooves 19 until forward drive is resumed. For driving in opposite directions, a pair of ratchet clutches, as above, may be mounted on a common shaft, with their driving members integral ; driven independently or having wormteeth for engagement with a common driving worm.

Title: Improvements in or relating to aqueous dispersions of synthetic resins and method ofpreparing same
IPC: C09D167/08
Filed: 1941-08-07
Abstract: A stable aqueous dispersion of synthetic resin is obtained by preparing a liquid mixture of an alkyd resin, or mixture of alkyd resins, having an acid number of 25 or more and a water-insoluble alkylated melamine - formaldehyde resin and adding to the mixture, with agitation, an aqueous solution of a proteinaceous emulsifying agent until an emulsion is produced.  Preferably, the solution of emulsifying agent is added until the water-in-oil type of emulsion first formed is inverted to an oil-in-water type.  The prepared emulsifying agent is an alkali caseinate, specifically ammonium caseinate.  The liquid resin mixture may be prepared with the aid of a solvent and the alkyd resin may be from 5 to 50 per cent of the total weight of resin.  Specified alkyd resins are those prepared from glycerol and phthalic anhydride, with or without minor proportions of modifying oils and fatty acids; the alkylated melamine-formaldehyde resins are prepared as described in Specification 486,577.  In an example, a butylated melamine-formaldehyde resin syrup containing 25 per cent butanol and 25 per cent xylol was mixed with a cotton seed oil fatty acid-modified glycerol-phthalic anhydride resin of acid number of 57-66 at a temperature of 45 DEG  C. and an aqueous solution of ammonium caseinate was then slowly stirred in to produce an emulsion of the oil-in-water type.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes also the production of similar dispersions from mixtures of synthetic resins and alkyd resins generally and, in particular, from mixtures of alkyd resins of low and high acid number and gives examples.  It also states that the liquid resin mixture may be poured into the aqueous solution of the emulsifying agent. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
