Patent GB-0200354-D0 (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to underwater vehicles
IPC: F41F3/10
Filed: 2002-01-09
Abstract: Described herein is a splice chamber for accommodating excess optical cable obtained when making a fusion splice connection between two reels of cable. The chamber comprises two portions which define a space for the optical cable. The chamber is constructed to divide into two longitudinal half portions along a longitudinal line, but each end is retained until conditions are suitable for release. The space inside of the chamber is shaped to determine the bend radius for the enclosed optical cable and protects the cable during storage and handling. When a predetermined force is applied to one end of the chamber, the two longitudinal half portions separate to release the optical cable stored therein, pivoting about the other end.

Title: Method of operation for a self-protecting wave energy conversion plant
IPC: F03B15/00
Filed: 2003-07-18
Abstract: A wavefarm ( 10 ) comprises a multiplicity of wave energy converters, comprising linear generators ( 19, 20, 21 ) and ( 22 ) which are driven by floats immersed in the sea, ( 14 ). In normal wave conditions, all of the generators supply a land line ( 17 ) via a control unit ( 18 ). In the event of inclement conditions, one or more of the generators are switched to linear motors, and these are then powered by those generators remaining in the sea, to withdraw their floats into protective cavities ( 23 ). The process is repeated sequentially until all but the last one or few of the generators have withdrawn their floats. Finally, these last are withdrawn by connecting them to an alternate power source e.g. a battery, ( 24 ), again via the control unit ( 18 ).
Patent GB-0316897-D0 (GB)
Title: Communications systems and methods
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 2003-07-18
Abstract: A receiver of ultra wideband (UWB) pulse samples incoming signals via an analogue-to-digital (A/D) converter (518) and correlates it (514) with a received reference signal (518) in order to compensate for distortion and multipath reflections (fig. 4b). Digitising the received UWB signal allows the use of digital techniques which decrease the cost, size and power consumption of the receiver. A pattern generator further controls the stored signal in order to provide reference signals for two or more successive pulses with interleaved multipath components, allowing communication over eg. power lines. The received signal can be adjusted in response to the reference signal. The data can be encoded according to both the position and the phase of the pulse.

Patent GB-9212530-D0 (GB)
Title: Improvements in computer transaction processing
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 1992-06-12
Abstract: In a transaction processing system, snapshot records are stored in volatile memory along with volatile state memory records, and modifications to the volatile state memory records by the transactions are logged to an after-image log in non-volatile memory for recovery of the volatile state memory records. For recovery of the snapshot records in volatile memory, when any one of the records of volatile state memory are to be written from volatile memory to non-volatile state memory, the volatile snapshots records of the volatile state memory record are first written from volatile snapshot memory to non-volatile snapshot memory. This ordering of buffer pool flushing permits recovery of the volatile snapshot records from non-volatile state memory or from modifications in the after-image log. Moreover, recovery can be performed without writing modifications to the volatile snapshot records in an after-image log or flushing the snapshot records using an atomic operation.
