Patent GB-2330905-A (GB)
Title: Photodiode pixel sensor with switched shunt capacitance
Inventor: LIN JANE M J
IPC: H04N5/374
Filed: 1998-10-28
Abstract: An active pixel sensor includes a photo diode D2 which includes intrinsic diode capacitance C D2  which collects charge when the diode is reset by activating transistor Q4, generating a diode voltage. As light is received by the photodiode it conducts in the reverse bias direction, discharging C D2  and reducing the diode voltage. When the diode voltage drops below a certain level the switch SW closes, connecting the additional capacitance C GC  in parallel with the diode, adding to the diode capacitance. This prevents saturation of the sensor (complete discharge) for high light intensities without reducing sensitivity at low intensities. The additional capacitance can be a gate capacitor (ie a FET with its source and drain connected together, which only conducts and provides capacitive loading when the diode voltage drops below its gate voltage). The pixel sensor further includes electronic circuitry Q5,Q6 to allow a controller to sample the photo diode voltage.

Title: Uniformly mixed dry photographic developing composition containing antioxidant and method of preparation
Inventor: GAMBLE WILLIAM JAMES
IPC: G03C5/26
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: A dry powdered, uniformly mixed photographic developing composition is prepared with intense mixing of dry photoprocessing chemical components, one of which is a photographic developing agent, and by forming uniformly sized agglomerates of the mixed powder. During agglomeration, a solution of a binder material eg. acacia gum, pva or a gelatin is applied in a controlled manner to enable the mixed powder particles to stick together but without leaving much residue in the final composition. With this process, the mixed powder and agglomerates each have desired uniformity in size and chemical composition. The resulting dry uniformly mixed developer composition is highly stable, dissolvable and substantially free of dust. An antioxidant eg. a sulfite is also applied to the dry uniform mixture during agglomeration to reduce the loss of developing agent activity.

Title: Clutch actuator with protection against overload and/or faulty operation
Inventor: DREXL HANS JURGEN
IPC: B60K23/02
Filed: 1999-07-29
Abstract: A clutch actuator 10, eg for a commercial vehicle, comprises a pneumatic cylinder 14 controlled by a hydraulic valve 42 operated by a master cylinder and clutch pedal arrangement 60, 62, 200a, 62a. If, for example, pneumatic power source 51 fails an overly high pressure may be produced by the master cylinder clutch pedal arrangement 200a, 62a resulting in damage to the actuator 10. This is avoided in one embodiment by providing an expandable linkage, eg four bar chain, 214a, 216a, 218a, 220a which prevents a high pressure from being produced by expanding about pivot point 222a, against action of tension spring 230a, until joints 226a, 228a strike on the master cylinder 200a, thus blocking any further movement of pedal 62a and thereby preventing overly high pressures from being produced. The blocking of the pedal 62a also signals to a driver that a failure has occurred. Joints 226a, 228a may be equipped with braking means (fig 4) and a three bar chain can be employed (fig 3). Further embodiments include spring and blocking means (figs 5 and 6) which may be actuated hydraulically (fig 7 and 13) or pneumatically (fig 8 and 14). Telescoping and non-telescoping plungers (figs 9 to 12, 15a to 15c and 17) may be used between cylinder 200a and pedal 62a. Also bendable leaf spring (210q, figs 16a-16c) can be provided. Relief and/or blocking valve arrangements (figs 18 to 28) may be included in the hydraulic line between the cylinder 60 and valve 42.

Title: Radio channel allocation storing call information when channel unavailable
Inventor: PARK DO-JUN
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1999-09-14
Abstract: A system and method for processing a call in a cellular system where a base station receives a call origination request from a mobile station s101. When there is an available radio channel, the channel is allocated to the mobile s103 and when there is no available radio channel, call information, e.g. a characteristic number of the mobile station, is stored in a memory of the base station s104, preferably a FIFO memory. If a radio channel becomes available s108, the channel is allocated to the mobile station corresponding to the stored call information s111. The base station may order the mobile to issue a call re-origination request s109, which is either automatic or in response to a user input. If call information is stored for a plurality of mobiles, the available channel is allocated to the mobile having the highest priority of all the mobiles or if all mobiles have equal priority, according to FIFO. The mobile may periodically be informed of storage information, such as the storage position of the call information or the present state of waiting. The call information corresponding to a mobile may be deleted when a channel is allocated to the mobile, if no channel becomes available before a timer for the stored information has timed out s107, if a mobile requests deletion (figure 3) or if it is determined that a mobile has been switched-off or handed-off (figure 4) when the mobile does not respond s110 to a call re-origination request within a predetermined time period.

Patent GB-997874-A (GB)
IPC: B64C29/00
Abstract: 997,874. VTOL aircraft. FOCKE-WULF G.m.b.H. Oct. 6, 1961, No. 36055/61. Headings B7G and B7W. Each lifting jet unit of a VTOL aircraft is pivotable, with angular displacement of its axis, between an operative downwardly discharging position, and an inoperative position within a fuselage or nacelle. In Figs. 1 and 2, the fuselage 2 is divided by partitons 1 and 3, to form compartments 4 and 5 in which lifting fan units can be stowed when inoperative. Each unit comprises an impeller 9 having turbine blades at its periphery, these blades being within a hollow annular cowling 8. A conduit 7 conveys compressed gas from forward propulsion engines 6 to drive the turbine and thus the impeller, and also serves as the arm on which the lifting unit swings about the axis 10 of engine 6, between the extended and retracted (shown in broken lines) positions. A break strut 11 supports the lifting unit when extended. The partitions 1, 3, are stressbearing members of the fuselage. In an alternative, each of a series of lifting units on either side of the fuselage is hinged to partition 1 at its edge, and each impeller is driven through shafting having a universal joint to accommodate retraction of the units. All the impeller driving shafts are driven from a single central shaft rotated by a gas turbine driven by gases tapped from a plurality of fuselage mounted forward propulsion units. In the case of a high wing aeroplane, the engines 6 and fan units may be mounted on the upper part of a circular section fuselage, the units swinging upwardly through the fuselage side to retract, and vice versa in the case of a low wing aeroplane. The partitions forming the retraction compartments are again structural parts of the fuselage. Fairing for the openings in the fuselage wall may be sliding doors, or may be flaps hinged on the cowling 8 which in the extended position of the lifting unit, form extensions of the cowling. In Fig. 11, each cowling 8 is supported by arms 29, and can swing about a vertical axis 31 between extended and retracted positions. Each impeller is driven by shafting 28 from a common shaft 14 driven by turbines 13, 13<1>, supplied with compressed gas from forward propulsion engines 6, 6<1>. In a further embodiment, Fig. 12, each direct lift unit is an injector nozzle supplied with compressed gas from engine 6, annular members 33 defining apertures for induced air flow, and being telescoped together when the unit is retracted.

Title: Method for sterilization of povidone solutions
IPC: A61L2/08
Filed: 1983-05-05
Abstract: Povidone is sterilized by irradiation in the presence of iodine and iodide ions. In particular solutions of povidone are sterilized by gamma-irradiating the povidone in the presence of iodine and iodide ions, which are present in an amount which prevents gelation at that dose of gamma radiation which would cause gelation in the absence of the iodine and iodide ions. The gamma irradiation of povidone may be effected in the presence of iodine with both iodide and iodate ions or as povidone-iodine in the presence of iodide and/or iodate ions. Sterilization thus effected by gamma radiation while preventing gelation of the povidone and degradation of the povidone-iodine.
