Patent GB-201118719-D0 (GB)
Title: Trivia tower (table game)
Filed: 2011-10-30
Abstract: A tower building game uses column or support pieces 4 and question cards 1. Prior to play, a tower is constructed by successively placing question cards 1 as platforms on sets of columns 4 to construct a vertical, multi-platform tower. During play, players attempt to remove columns from the lower platforms of the tower and place them upon the topmost platform such that additional question card platforms may be added to the tower, the aim for each player being to strategically destabilise the tower without toppling it. Removal and placement of columns may be dependent upon successfully answering questions borne on the additional question cards. Players may accrue points, with the winner being decided by number of points accrued before the tower collapses. In a preferred embodiment the question cards have questions on one side (not shown), and column placement indicia 2 on the other side. The questions and indicia may be colour-coded to the column pieces, with colour-coded dice (not shown) used to determine which question a player should answer and consequently which colour of column should be moved upon successfully answering the question.

Title: Active noise cancellation system
Filed: 2012-03-16
Abstract: Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system and method comprising an ANC signal which is generated by a signal processor in response to an ambient noise signal, comprising detecting the wind amplitude, controlling the cut-off frequency of a high pass filter (HPF) of the signal processor based on the wind amplitude, and controlling the gain of the signal processor based on the output of a low pass filter (LPF). The HPF cut-off frequency may be increased / reduced when the wind strength is above / below a first threshold. The ANC gain may be reduced / increased when the wind exceeds a second threshold for a time that is greater / lower than a predetermined fraction of a time window. The second threshold may be higher than the first threshold. Instantaneous wind measurements based on a comparison between a cross-correlation between two microphone signals may be smoothed to form the detected amplitude by comparing with previous values and using attack or decay coefficients. The ANC system may be incorporated into earphones or a mobile phone and does not generate a signal that would magnify the wind noise heard by the user.

Patent GB-201307078-D0 (GB)
Title: Detecting device and opening method thereof
Filed: 2013-04-19
Abstract: A detecting device includes at least one transmitter and plural receivers. After the at least one transmitter emits plural incident light beams to a detection zone, plural reflected light beams reflected from the detection zone are received by the plural receivers. If no object is moved within the detection zone, the plural reflected light beams strike a first part of the plural receivers, so that the plural receivers are in an initial reception configuration. If an object is moved within the detection zone, the plural reflected light beams are disturbed by the object and deflected to a second part of the plural receivers, so that the plural receivers are in a disturbed reception configuration. According to the reception configuration change, a moving direction of the object within the detection zone is determined. Consequently, the detecting range is largely enhanced, and the cost is reduced.

Abstract: Live vaccines are provided and methods for preparing the live vaccines for protection of a host from a pathogenic microorganism. The vaccines are prepared by introducing at least one modification in a gene involved in at least one, normally at least two, biosynthetic pathways, involving the production of products which are unlikely to be found in the disease susceptible host. The modification results in a gene change which cannot be repaired by a single step e.g. polynucleotide deletions and inversions. Where the aro gene suffers such a change, the resultant auxotrophic mutants require aromatic amino acids, p-aminobenzoic acid and 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoic acid or a highly concentrated source of absorbable iron. The auxotrophic mutations have substantially reduced or nonexistent virulence, while retaining the desired immunogenicity to initiate the immunogenic response. Various techniques can be employed for providing the desired change. Salmonella typhimurium strain SL1479 was deposited at the ATCC on September 7, 1982 and given ATGG Accession No. 39183; Salmonella dublin strain SL1438 was deposited on September 7, 1982 at the ATCC and given ATCC Accession No. 39184.
