Title: Composite containment of high energy debris and pressure
Inventor: GABRYS JONATHAN W
IPC: F41H5/02
Filed: 2006-10-27
Abstract: A protective device for use in containing high energy debris and pressure employs a plurality of energy absorption elements disposed on an outer surface of a rigid inner sheet, where the outer surface faces away from the body being protected and toward the high energy event, such as an explosion. Each energy absorption element extends generally away from the body to permit the high energy event to first impact upon the energy absorption elements, rather than the body. The energy absorption elements are formed of laminate composite materials. As such, energy absorption elements are configured to contain or reduce high energy debris material and pressure impacting the energy absorption element through delamination and possibly penetration of the composite material. Applications include personnel body armor and armor for vehicles, aircraft and ships.

Title: Rotating display with interleaved LEDs
Inventor: WANG TSUNG-I
IPC: G09F9/33
Filed: 2006-11-27
Abstract: A display device having vertically interleaved lighting units comprises a base member (10), a rotational member (20) rotatably mounted on the base member (10), and a driving unit housed inside the base and rotational members. Across the cylindrical surface of the rotational member (20), there are at least two appropriately spaced light emitting arrays (211, 212, 213, 214), each containing at least one column of lighting units (210). The lighting units (210) in the columns of a light emitting array are positioned such that they interleave vertically with the lighting units in the columns of immediately adjacent light emitting arrays. Due to persistence of vision, the vertical gaps between the lighting units of a light emitting array appear to be compensated by the lighting units of adjacent light emitting arrays, when the rotational member is rotated. This arrangement aims to improve the vertical resolution of a rotating LED display.

Title: Clutch control and regulating valve with integrated accumulator
Inventor: RAMBERT MARC
IPC: F15B13/044
Filed: 2007-02-15
Abstract: A control and regulating valve 3 which controls a clutch in an automatic transmission comprises a housing 4 and an axially moveable spool 5 that is moved by application of a magnetic force Fmag exerted on one end of the spool 5. At an opposite end of the spool 5 there is a rear chamber 7 and an accumulator consisting of a fixed plate with a central hydraulic opening 9, a spring 10 and a disc 11. The rear chamber 7 has an opening that is directly coupled to the clutch so that line pressure may be applied when the spool 5 has been moved to a certain position under the influence of the magnetic force Fmag which is due to a command current. The accumulator acts as a low frequency filter and the hydraulic opening 9 has to be calibrated to optimize dynamic behaviour in order to reduce or even eliminate oscillation amplitudes.

Title: Sound output device with earphone mode and speaker mode
Inventor: LIN YIN-YU
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 2007-03-23
Abstract: A sound output device has two speaker modules 10, 20 with volume adjusting circuit portions (using a variable resistor R3), the loudspeakers 13, 22 receiving a greater sound volume when the volume adjusting circuit portions are isolated from one another than when they are electrically connected. This is achieved by varying the resistance in the loudspeaker circuits by providing either a direct route 12, 21 to ground from the variable resistor or an indirect route through resistors R1 and R2 (the impedance to ground through R1 and R2 is also reduced when points 12 are connected as R1 and R2 are placed in parallel). In this way, the output device may provide both a loudspeaker mode and an earphone mode of lower volume which may, for example, be used with a headset. The device may make use of the universal serial bus (USB) standard for connecting to an audio source such as a personal computer.

Title: Pseudo random number generation device
Inventor: MATSUI MITSURU
IPC: G06F7/58
Filed: 2005-09-09
Abstract: A pseudo random number generation device (100) generates a pseudo random number as follows. In C.2, S1[B41] is decided from B41 set in a second internal memory, and S2[B40] is decided from B40. R[J] is generated from S1[I], S1[B41], and S2[B40]. In C.3, S1[I] is newly generated according to S1[B41] and S2[B40]. In C.4, B4 is updated from S2(I). In the aforementioned process, the association of R[J] with S2(I) is cut off and it is difficult to estimate S2(I) from R[J], which increases the safety. Moreover the S1[I], S1[B41], S2[B40], and the like are four-byte codes and processing speed can be increased.

Title: Telecommunications services apparatus and method
Inventor: WILSON JEFFREY
IPC: H04M3/58
Filed: 2007-06-07
Abstract: A telecommunications services apparatus for providing communication between a telephone user and a service provider. The apparatus comprises a mobile telephone network and an Internet connection. Voice communications addressed to a voice destination number of the service provider are made through the mobile telephone network in the conventional manner, whereas text message communications addressed to a text message destination number of the service provider are identified and routed to the service provider over the Internet connection. Thus a service provider is able to receive both voice communication and text communications without having to invest in the conventional equipment required for text message delivery to service providers. Furthermore, the voice destination number and the text message destination number of the service provider may be the same number.

Title: Driving an electricity generator using the kinetic, gravitational or air pressure forces present in the flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic or sea waves
Inventor: DUNN JOHN MARTIN
IPC: E01F9/529
Filed: 2008-07-11
Abstract: A device for obtaining power to drive an electricity generator from the kinetic, gravitational or air pressure forces present in the flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic or the ebb and flow of sea waves, comprises means such as a plate, ramp or air input assembly for absorbing kinetic, gravitational or air pressure energy present in these circumstances. In one embodiment, fig.1, a pressure plate C is pressed down by passing vehicle wheels and drives down a large-area hydraulic piston D forcing a smaller piston G to travel along a cylinder H and to drive an output shaft N by means of meshing gear teeth. Alternatively (figs.5a-c), the smaller piston (C) compresses air in a cylinder (E) having a high pressure outlet (G). In a mechanical variant, fig.3, eg a traffic calming speed hump, passing vehicles push down ramps A,B forcing a rod C to rotate an output shaft J via a one-way clutch D. The energy may be stored in a spiral coil spring (D, fig.7). In another arrangement, air pressure in front of approaching vehicles is diverted down vents (A, fig.6) in the road surface and the air is channelled past a turbine or impeller (B), assisted by the reduced pressure behind departing vehicles.
