Title: Detector for distinguishing between smoke and other suspended particles
Inventor: POWELL BRIAN DAVID
IPC: G01N21/53
Filed: 1997-11-25
Abstract: Smoke detecting apparatus comprises a lamp (10) transmitting a multi-wavelength light beam (12) across a space (14) in which smoke and other aerosols may be present. At beam detecting means (18), the received beam is split by a beam splitter (26) and passed to photo-diodes (22,24) through respective filters (28,30) having a narrow passbands centred at 0.5 and 0.9 micrometres. The respective output signals are amplified by amplifiers (32,34) and the ratio of the two output signals is measured in a processing unit (36). For smoke there is greater attenuation at 0.5 micrometres than at 0.9 micrometres, and the measured ratio therefore falls significantly. In the presence of other aerosols such as water vapour or dust, the wavelength dependence of the attenuating (scattering) effect on the beam is less strong or substantially non-existent. The output of the ratio unit (36) therefore discriminates in favour of smoke and against other aerosols.

Title: Indicating an end page in a book scanning system
Inventor: TAKAHASHI HIROSHI
IPC: H04N1/193
Filed: 1998-02-13
Abstract: A copying apparatus for copying books or similar type documents wherein the apparatus has the facility to tum the pages of the book being copied has a means for designating the last sheet to be copied without having to enter either the number of the page or the number of pages to be copied. The end designating means consists of a end sheet inserted in the book at the place where the copying is to stop. The end sheet can be larger or smaller than the pages of the book and functions by preventing the page being turned. On detecting that the page cannot be turned the design of the end sheet allows the apparatus to ascertain that the page will not turn because the last page has been arrived at and not from an error in the copying procedure. The page turning procedure consists of electrostatically attracting a page into contact with a tum belt(figure 18,208) to which it adheres. The belt is then raised and moved with the page attached until it is able to be released into its turned position
