Patent GB-2327636-A (GB)
Title: Heat resistant cloth in particular for firefighting
Inventor: MOCHIZUKI MASAYUKI
IPC: A62B17/00
Filed: 1998-07-28
Abstract: In a heat resistant cloth for fire fighting, at least an inner surface of a fluororesin film is subjected to plasma discharge treatment to form a treated surface. A vacuum-deposition film made of a bright metal such as aluminum is formed on the treated surface of the fluororesin film without use of a primer. The vacuum-deposition film on the treated surface is bonded to an outer surface of a substrate fabric through use of a silicone rubber adhesive in order to form a heat-reflecting layer on the outer surface of the substrate fabric. Since no primer coating layer is used, the heat reflecting layer can prevent a decrease in brightness, which would otherwise occur due to cracks generated in the primer coating layer. Thus, a decrease in heat reflectivity at high temperature is prevented. Since no flammable synthetic resin layer is used at the surface of the heat reflecting layer, flame resistance can be improved.
Patent GB-2328127-A (GB)
Title: Image processing apparatus
Inventor: DAVISON ALLAN JOSEPH
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1998-07-30
Abstract: In an apparatus and method for creating a three-dimensional model of an object, images of the object taken from different, unknown positions are processed to identify the points in the images which correspond to the same point on the actual object (that is "matching" points), the matching points are used to determine the relative positions from which the images were taken, and the matching points and calculated positions are used to calculate points in a three-dimensional space representing points on the object. A number of different techniques are used to identify the matching points, and a number of solutions are calculated and tested for the relative positions, the solution which is consistent with the largest number of matching points being selected. In one matching technique, edges in an image are identified by first identifying corner points in the image and then identifying edges between the corner points on the basis of edge orientation values of pixels, the edges are processed in strength order to remove cross-overs, the images sub-divided into regions by connecting points at the ends of the edges on the basis of the edge strengths, and matching points within corresponding regions in two or more images are identified.

Title: Quick coupler assembly with rotating cylindrical retainer
Inventor: WILLIAMS CRAIG D
IPC: E02F3/36
Filed: 1999-01-28
Abstract: A quick coupler assembly (10 Fig.1) comprises a cylindrical catcher 190 rotatably mounted between a pair of opposed side plates (54,58 Fig.2), each of said plates having a latch mechanism 258 to retain said catcher in a closed position by interaction with a latch notch 226 and also having integral implement connecting pin receiving notches (66,112 Fig.3). During coupling, an implement coupling pin rotates said catcher via a cam surface 238 which allows the latches to automatically lock the catcher in a closed position and thereby retain an implement within a retaining jaw 234. Removal of an implement from the coupler is effected by manual release of said latches by extending control knobs (286 Fig.2) outwardly thereby allowing the catcher to rotate to an open position.

Title: Arrangement for improved vehicle traction control
Inventor: BURROWS ANDREW JULIAN
IPC: B60K1/02
Filed: 1999-08-04
Abstract: The traction arrangement comprises one or more individually driven wheels (26) on opposed sides of the vehicle. A torque differential is supplied by motors (16) via propellor shafts (22) which are substantially perpendicular to the drive shafts (24), this results in a reaction against which the wheels (26) move relative to a suspended part of the vehicle. The arrangement incorporates a displacement prop (100) in which the relative movement is sustained after removal of the torque differential. Typically, the displacement prop (100) comprises a piston (103) and cylinder (102) arrangement in which the piston (103) is moved freely in order to accommodate the relative movement, whilst return is either prevented or is at a much reduced rate in order to sustain the relative movement and therefore weight distribution, for improved traction control.

Title: Removal of material by radiation applied at an oblique angle
Inventor: ENGELSBERG AUDREY C
IPC: B08B7/00
Filed: 1997-07-22
Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing undesired material from the surface of a substrate provides a flow of inert gas over the undesired material substrate surface while irradiating the undesired material with energetic photons directed at an angle that is oblique to the substrate. The invention enables removal of undesired material without altering the physical properties of the material underlying or adjacent the removed, undesired material. In certain circumstances, the non-perpendicular incidence permits effective removal where normal incidence caused damage to the substrate or poor removal or both.

Title: Voice switching system plural load driving device
Inventor: FUTAMI TOORU
IPC: G10L15/00
Filed: 1982-01-27
Abstract: PURPOSE:To control quickly the time of driving start and end of a load, by driving a load corresponding to a voice word discriminating result, only when the driving start and end to a desired load are indicated by a common driving indicating switch. CONSTITUTION:When a push-on switch SW4 is turned on, an output signal S0 of an inputting circuit 5 falls to L from H in response to it, and in response to this fall, a voice discriminating device 3a is set to an input voice holding state. Subsequently, when a voice word to a desired load is generated from a microphone 2, a voice discriminating operation is executed by the device 3a, to which one of loads L1-Ln the input voice word correspond is discriminated, and an output SK corresponding to a discriminating result in output signals S1-Sn is set to H. When the SW4 is turned on again, a B input is selected by a switching circuit COSK, a transistor DK is turned on, and in a period of time when the SW4 is on, the load LK is driven through a relay RL. Subsequently, when the SW4 is turned off, the DK is cut off, the output SK is set to L, the circuit COSK selects an A input, and the load LK is reset to a nondriving state.
