Title: Video camera with image displacing member controlled for image resolution improvement, camera element response equalisation and camera vibration compensation
Inventor: BROEKAERT MICHEL
IPC: H04N5/365
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: The video camera comprises a detector 17 having a two-dimensional matrix of Photosensitive elements that accumulate charge, the elements being placed in an image plane of an optical system and being connected to a circuit for periodically transferring the accumulated charges at a determined frequency. An optical deviation member 20 is interposed on the path of light towards the matrix and enables said path to be deflected. A unit 26, 28 for periodically controlling the deviation means causes the image to be deviated in two dimensions, in a first determined cycle each time through a determined fraction of the matrix pitch step size so as to perform space oversampling, and, in a second cycle, each time through a full pitch step size, which second cycle is a multiple of the first. A processor unit calculates the gain differences and the response offsets between the elements by performing comparisons therebetween. In addition to the above spatial resolution improvement of the detected image and compensation for unequal responses of the camera matrix elements, the deviation member may be controlled to compensate for camera vibration.

Patent GB-2335780-A (GB)
Title: Optical data storage
Inventor: BURROUGHS TREVOR ALAN
IPC: G11B7/004
Filed: 1998-03-23
Abstract: A high capacity three-dimensional, optically-addressed storage device comprises multiple layers 3,4,5 from which digital data stored in any given layer can be rapidly and reliably retrieved despite the proximity of data in neighbouring layers. Interrogating radiation is projected through the device orthogonally to the layers, in a flood beam or a beam defined by an electronic mask. The interrogating beam is repeatedly refocussed to reduce retrieval errors associated with beam spreading. A given layer is selected by illumination with a selecting beam projected across the layer to interact with optically sensitive material deposited at selected digital storage locations in the layer, so as to cause that material to absorb the radiation of the interrogating beam more strongly than it does in the absence of the selecting beam.

Title: Vehicle exhaust tailpipe finisher mounting arrangement with concealed fastener
Inventor: HUGHES PETER TERENCE
IPC: F01N13/08
Filed: 1999-01-06
Abstract: A finisher may enable the visible appearance of an exhaust system of a standard motor vehicle to mimic that of a more powerful or sporty motor vehicle. However, upon closer inspection one clue that reveals that the exhaust system is that of a standard motor vehicle is the presence of a head of a threaded fastener that has been used to secure the finisher to the exhaust pipe. In exhaust systems that do not include a finisher, this feature is not present, since there is no need to pass a threaded fastener into the exhaust pipe. A finisher mounting 30 is disclosed comprising an internally threaded ring 32 for mounting between an inner aperture 40 of an inner finisher member 6 and an outer aperture 42 of an outer finisher member 4, and a threaded member 34 for passing through the outer aperture, threading through the ring and passing through the inner aperture, such that in use the threaded member does not extend beyond the outer aperture.

Title: Door lock
Inventor: MAPLE ALAN JAMES
IPC: E05B53/00
Filed: 1999-12-16
Abstract: A dead-lock arrangement for a vehicle door comprises a bolt mechanism 10 having a bolt housing 13 adapted to be secured to an edge region of a vehicle door and a bolt 16 slidably mounted in the housing. The bolt 16 has a toothed rack which is meshed with a gear rotatably mounted in the housing.
