Title: Fenestration sealed frame, insulating glazing panels
Inventor: GLOVER MICHAEL
IPC: E06B3/22
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: A fenestration sealed frame insulating glazing panel has an integral planar frame formed by four rigid plastic profiles interconnected end-to-end to define corners, the profiles having a low heat conductivity. Two glazing sheets are arranged in spaced parallel relationship attached on opposite sides of the frame in rigid manner by thermosetting adhesive to form an integral structure having an insulating cavity enclosed by the frame. The front face of each frame profile presented towards the cavity is covered by a low permeability sealant. The sealed frame glazing panel can include a third glazing sheet positioned in parallel between the first two glazing sheets and likewise interconnected at its perimeter to the frame to divide the insulating cavity into two parallel coextensive sub-cavities. The profiles of the frame can be made from structural plastic foam material, glass fiber, oriented thermoplastic, or various other materials of low thermal conductivity.

Patent GB-2396471-A (GB)
Title: Coin-operated cabinet lock
Inventor: YANG PING-JAN
IPC: G07F5/02
Filed: 2002-12-18
Abstract: A coin-operated cabinet lock comprises a casing 1 within which is mounted a adjustment unit 2, a track unit 3, a locking mechanism 8 and a back plate 9. The mechanism is arranged so that it is within the cabinet, when the door is locked, thus minimising the risk of unwanted interference and may be easily adjusted to allow coins of different denominations to be used. The adjustment unit is arranged to adjust the length of a coin receipt slot 101 and comprises a damper 23, which slides within a groove 108. The damper 23 is moved by an adjustment screw 25 held in position by a holding screw 28. When a coin is placed in the slot 101 an actuating member 45 is depressed which allows a plate 30 to slide longitudinally, within the casing, when the key is turned in the lock 27. This allows a locking plate 80 to be rotated sufficiently to lock the door. If no coin is present the movement of the sliding plate 30 is obstructed by interference between a swivel member 42 and a guide block 106. The track unit further serves to retain the coin until the door is unlocked and the mechanism is returned to a open position wherein it defines a path to a coin return box 6.

Title: Multi-dimensional fast fourier transform
Inventor: WEZELENBURG MARTINUS CORNELIS
IPC: G06F17/14
Filed: 2005-05-05
Abstract: A multi-dimensional FFT is calculated upon 2<n> rows of 2<m> data values set out end-to-end in memory by traversing the data set as a whole using stride values and block sizes which halve upon each pass through the data. As the data values represent multi-dimensional data, there are one or more dimensional boundaries within the data and as these are crossed the coefficient values being applied by the complex butterfly calculation are adjusted to take account of the manipulation being performed. The linearity of the matrix calculations underlying the butterfly calculation means that the order in which these calculations are performed is not significant and accordingly multiple passes with appropriate coefficient changes can perform a multi-dimensional calculation even if the different components of the calculation in respect of each dimension arise upon different passes through the data set.
