Title: Cooling fans for projection display unit
Inventor: KATAYAMA TAKESHI
IPC: G03B21/16
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: Reduction of noise is achieved by devising an arrangement of heat generating parts such as a light bulb element (9), an electric power source (5), a light source (13), etc. and an arrangement of cooling fans (10, 17). In cooling the light source (13), the electric power source (5) and liquid crystal panels (9), a cooling wind path (7, 30) for the liquid crystal panels (9) and the electric power source (5) is made separate from and independent of a cooling wind path (4, 16, 18) for the light source (13) that generates much heat, a cooling air volume is optimized for the respective cooling wind paths (7, 30; 4, 16, 18), and noise accompanying the rotation of the cooling fans (10, 17) is reduced. Also, by arranging the cooling fans (10, 17) substantially centrally of the respective cooling wind paths, that volume of noise, which leaks from air intake ports (3, 4) and air exhaust port (2) that are opened to a housing of a unit (1), is reduced.

Title: Error correction of passwords using Galois Field elements
Inventor: TOMLINSON MARTIN
IPC: G06F21/31
Filed: 2007-02-07
Abstract: A system for the retrieval of confidential information in which an entered password is allowed to contain some erroneous or invalid characters and still be considered acceptable to access confidential information without compromising the security of the information retrieval system. The characters of a set of passwords, sequentially entered, are mapped to Galois Field elements with the mapping table constructed sequentially, and uniquely for each user of the system, such that the mapped Galois Field elements for each password are equal to a codeword of a defined error correcting code and this codeword is associated with a message containing encrypted confidential information. Any password used to retrieve confidential information messages is mapped to Galois Field elements using the same constructed mapping table and error correction decoded to produce a codeword of the error correcting code. Any encrypted information message associated with this codeword is decrypted and output from the system. If the codeword is not associated with encrypted confidential information the system may output a message to this effect such as the message "password invalid". The security of the information retrieval system arises from the fact that the number of possible codewords of a typical error correcting code is extremely large and in one example described in the invention there are 10<612> possible codewords of which only a small number, typically less than 100, are associated with any encrypted information. Applications of the invention include in wireless networks, such as an information retrieval service provided by a mobile phone operator.

Title: A generator connection arrangement
Inventor: TRUSWELL MARK
IPC: F03D9/00
Filed: 2007-02-07
Abstract: A generator connection arrangement for connecting the output of a wind generator to an inverter comprises an input for connection to the output of a wind generator 1, an output for connection to an inverter 6, and a back-up power supply 11 for selectively outputting a voltage for powering at least one control circuit of the inverter, dependent on the voltage at the input of the grid-tie. The back-up supply can continue to power the control circuit of the inverter in a prolonged period of little or no wind so that the inverter does not switch off. The back-up power supply may also supply the voltage to the input of the generator connection arrangement. The back-up power supply is thus able to power the control circuits of a wind generator having its output connected to the input of the grid tie, so that the control circuit of the wind generator do not switch off even in a prolonged period of little or no wind.

Patent GB-2436461-A (GB)
Title: Method of producing a face gear
Inventor: NAGATA EIRI
IPC: B23F15/06
Filed: 2007-03-20
Abstract: A method of producing a face gear includes an initial step of preparing a work piece 2 and a hob 41, where the hob is brought into an axial movement when rotated through an angle of 360{ about its longitudinal axis 40, the initial step bringing the work piece to oppose the hob at a distance W. A geared surface is formed by rotating the hob in one direction through an angle of less than 360{ upon mutual engagement of the hob and the work piece, which results from moving at least one of the hob and the work piece in a radial direction D of the hob. At least one of the hob and the work piece are retracted in the radial direction to establish a separation of the hob from the work piece before the hob completes its 360{ rotation, the retraction taking place through a distance equal to an axial movement amount of the hob resulting from rotating the hob. The process is repeated to form a full face geared surface on the work piece.

Title: Supplementary call services provided via a IP Multimedia Network
Inventor: BISHOP CRAIG KELVIN
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2007-03-21
Abstract: The control of supplementary services to a mobile terminal in a communications network (including a circuit switched cellular network and an IP Multimedia Network) is carried out in the IP Multimedia Network independent of whether a call is carried out via the circuit switched network or the IP Multimedia Network. The mobile terminal transmits information relating to the terminal's capabilities to support centrally controlled supplementary services to the network. Also, a network element transmits information relating to the network element's capabilities or intention to support centrally controlled supplementary services to the terminal. If a user handset is unable to receive supplementary services via the IP Network, then these are provided via the circuit switched network. This simplifies the provision of supplementary services, and also provides improved call continuity, particularly for dual handset users.

Title: Rail wagon bogie
Inventor: FORBES JAMES WILFRED
IPC: B61F3/00
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: The bogie has a bolster and a pair of side frames with end pedestals providing mounting interfaces with bearings on the ends of wheel axles. Each pedestal has a seat accepting a bearing adapter 444 for interposition between the seat and a bearing casing. To spread the load on the adapter and rollers in the bearing, it has a relief 448 in its surface facing the bearing casing, the relief being at top dead centre and extending above one of both races of the bearing, so that the surface either side bears the loading. The relief may be separated into two parts separated by a centre land or be intersected by a circumferential relief 446 to provide four lands. The bogie can have a longitudinal self steering capability. The self steering capability may be obtained by use of a longitudinally oriented rocker that may tend to permit resistance to deflection that is proportional to the weight carried across the interface.

IPC: G06F21/33
Filed: 2005-09-30
Abstract: A system and method for user certificate initiation, distribution, and provisioning in converged WLAN-WWAN interworking networks. A computing device (108) operable in a wireless local area network sends (206) a public key to a mobile device operable in a wireless cellular wide area network. The mobile device performs a bootstrapping procedure with a cellular operator in the wireless cellular wide area network (208) to obtain a user certificate based on the public key (210). The mobile device sends (214) the user certificate to the computing device for installation on the computing device. The user certificate may be used (218) for digital signature, verification, and encryption purposes. The user certificate is also used in both the wireless local area network and the wireless wide area network for authenticating a subscriber when accessing services from both networks (213), (218).
