Patent EP-0304302-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1988-08-18
Abstract: A method of operating a computer system to 
store and retrieve information in a database uses a 
signature file of the database that is divided into 
subsets. A word signature is mapped to a particular 
subset during creation of the file and the same mapping 
information is used to retrieve the information in 
response to a query keyword. Each word signature is a 
logical word signature and has two components a 
physical word signature and a subset designation field. 
In this way, when information is retrieved from the 
database, only that subset containing the relevant word 
signature is scanned. A scanner has an input section, 
an output section, a control, a memory with address 
lines and a FIFO buffer. The control reviews 
information received from the data storage means and if 
a match occurs between a physical word signature for a 
query keyword and a particular physical word signature 
arriving from the input section, the control sends the 
physical word signature to the FIFO buffer together 
with the document identifier located subsequent to the 
matched physical word signature. The control then 
moves on to process the next physical word signature 
received from the data storage means. If there is no 
match, the control ignores the physical word signature 
and moves on to process the next physical word 
signature received from the data storage means. The 
control is effectively capable of processing several 
query keywords in parallel.

Title: Power control for an ionised gas-type rf electrosurgical unit
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 1989-07-25
Abstract: An electrosurgical generator in an electrosurgical unit 
(ESU) controls the repetition rate and the energy content of 
bursts of RF energy delivered to a gas jet supplied by the ESU, 
in order to maintain RF leakage current within acceptable 
limits while still achieving a sufficient state of ionization 
in the gas jet to reliably initiate the conduction of arcs to 
the tissue. The repetition rate of the RF bursts is substan­
tially reduced in an inactive state when no arcs are delivered. 
A relatively small number of the RF bursts delivered during the 
inactive state have an increased or boosted energy content to 
assure an adequate ionization state in the gas jet.

Title: Lithium salts as red blood cell lysing and hemoglobin denaturing reagents
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1990-07-03
Abstract: Use of a lithium salt, particularly lithium thiocyanate, as an agent for lysing red blood cells and denaturing hemoglobin in the performance of an immunoassay to detect the relative amount of a hemoglobin derivative in a blood sample. The method is particularly useful in the determination of hemoglobin A1c. The method provides a rapid means for releasing hemoglobin from red blood cells by lysis and for exposing the epitope that is characteristic of the A1c form. Low concentrations of the lithium salt provide rapid release and denaturation of hemoglobin without the need for dilution prior to the performance of the immunoassay.

Title: Amplifier arrangement for producing a controllable non-linear transfer characteristic useful for improving the contrast of an image
IPC: H03G7/00
Filed: 1990-08-18
Abstract: The present invention concerns a non-linear transfer function generator, e.g., for implementating "white stretch" of a luminance signal. Specifically, first (196) and second (198) emitter-follower amplifiers have their inputs coupled in parallel and their outputs coupled in series via first resistor (210) of a voltage divider. A second resistor (216) of the voltage divider is coupled to a point (218) of reference potential. A bias source is coupled to the second amplifier, e.g., via the second resistor of the voltage divider, so that the dynamic response of the second amplifier to an input signal is limited with respect to the first amplifier. The output signal of the first amplifier is linear and an output signal developed at the output of the second amplifier is non-linear. The linear and non-linear output signals are combined by a current steering network (188) in response to a control signal (Vc) representative of a characteristic of a processed version of the luminance signal.

Patent EP-0387991-A3 (EP)
Title: Surveying of boreholes
IPC: E21B47/022
Filed: 1990-02-06
Abstract: Borehole surveying methods and apparatus for surveying 
the true longitudinal magnetic field within a 
substantially non-magnetic drill collar occupying the 
part of a borehole being surveyed, despite the collar 
being of insufficient length to provide longitudinal 
magnetic field measurements which are uncorrupted by 
the longitudinal magnetic influences of adjacent 
magnetic drill string and bottom-hole assembly 
components. A plurality of longitudinal magnetic field 
measurements are made by a static instrumentation 
package at fixed known longitudinal positions within 
the collar, or by a free-falling instrumentation 
package at known times or at known increments of time 
as the instrumentation package moves through the 
collar. These measurements provide a 
longitudinal-position-dependent series of magnetic 
field measurements BZ(z) which enable the true 
magnitude of the terrestial magnetic field BZe in the 
direction of the longitudinal axis of the borehole to 
be calculated on the basis that BZ(z) = BZe + E(z), 
where E(z) is the longitudinal-position-dependent 
longitudinal magnetic field error induced by the 
magnetism of the drill string and the bottom-hole 
assembly. Several different methods of calculation are 
described, including polar and non-polar magnetic error 
function models. The methods can be extended to a full 
survey of the borehole heading by contemporaneous 
measurements of two further magnetic fields in each of 
two mutually orthogonal axes each also orthogonal to 
the longitudinal axis, along with contemporaneous 
gravity vector component measurements in each of these 
three axes. Relevant methods are described, along with 
apparatus for carrying out the heading survey methods.

Title: Direct conversion receiver with dithering local carrier frequency for detecting transmitted carrier frequency
IPC: H04L27/152
Filed: 1990-04-20
Abstract: An FSK receiver includes first and second channel paths to which the 
received FSK signals are applied. Each channel path includes a mixer 
circuit, a low-pass filter connected to the mixer circuit, and a limiting 
amplifier connected to the low-pass filter. A voltage-controlled oscillator 
generates a local carrier and a phase shifter applies its output to the mixer 
circuits with a 90° phase difference therebetween. A frequency detector 
is coupled to one of the limiting amplifiers for generating a signal 
representative of the deviation frequency of the received FSK signal. An 
average circuit detects an average value of the signal. A comparator 
circuit detects whether the frequency representative signal lies in or 
outside of the neighborhood of the average value. A ramp voltage of 
constant amplitude is periodically generated if the signal is detected as 
lying outside of the neighborhood and maintained at an instantaneous 
value if the signal is detected as lying in the neighborhood. The voltage-­
controlled oscillator is responsive to the ramp generator to control the 
frequency of the local carrier in search of the transmitted carrier 
frequency.

Title: Tent frame and tent
IPC: A45B23/00
Filed: 1990-04-20
Abstract: A tent frame comprising a frame-carrying base (12); means for mounting the base, in use, on a mobile platform such as the roof of a vehicle (10); an elongate frame member (17) constituting the ridge frame member of the ultimately-assembled tent frame; and respective arms (22) and legs (23) each mounted or adapted for mounting upon the ridge frame member (17) in such a way that the arms (22) can extend from the ridge frame member outwardly, and the legs (23) can extend from the arms generally downwardly, to form the side frame members of the ultimately-assembled tent frame; characterised by the features that the ridge frame member (17), the base (12), and some at least of the frame's arms and legs, are packaged in such a way that when the package is mounted on the mobile platform and conveyed to an intended site of use, (a) sufficient of the frame can be assembled for the frame to be self-supported on the surface on which the vehicle rests; (b) the thus-far-assembled frame is then readily separable from the platform; and (c) the frame side members do not then prevent the vehicle from moving out from under the frame and being driven away. Preferably the ridge member can be raised relative to the base, before the vehicle is driven away, by a parallelogram linkage (18) incorporating an "over-centre" spring mechanism to assist the operation of the linkage in both the raising and lowering directions.
