Patent GB-2327228-A (GB)
Title: Panel constructions
Inventor: SHEMWELL KENNETH
IPC: F42D5/045
Filed: 1998-01-09
Abstract: The application describes a panel structure for absorbing a shock wave or other impact, comprising a front plate (10), a rear planar member (12), and a honeycomb array between the front plate (10) and rear planar member (12), a substantial number of the honeycomb cells (14) being sealed at either end. The honeycomb members (14) are preferably tabular, and are more preferably adhesively bonded in place to the front and back plates (10, 12). Equally preferably, they can be bonded to each other with a suitable adhesive. In a preferred form of the invention, each or at least a substantial number of the honeycomb cells (14) contain an intermediate seal dividing the sealed honeycomb cell (14) into a first cell portion proximate the front plate (10) and a second cell (14) portion proximate the black plate (12). More preferably, each or at least a substantial number of the honeycomb cells (14) are formed from two sealed tubular (or other prismatic) members fixed end to end, thus forming the single cell with an intermediate seal. Each tubular member is preferably sealed prior to connection. The ends of tubular members can be shaped so as to provide an interlocking structure. The rear planar member (12) can be an external face of a large flat object, such as a wall. Where the panel is freestanding, or may be moved between installations, it is preferred if the rear planar member (12) is a back plate behind the honeycomb array. The front plate (10) and/or the back plate (12) (where provided), and more preferably both, can be made from steel such as a mild steel. It is preferred if the front plate (10), i.e. that facing the likely site of the explosion, is of a heavier gauge than the rear plate. The honeycomb members (14) are suitably also of steel such as mild steel. The honeycomb members (14) can be formed in a hexagonal close packed array, since this is usually the easier to construct. However, it may be preferable for there to be a gap between adjacent honeycomb cells (14). The gap is preferably less than the diameter of the honeycomb cells (14).

Title: Clutch disc with axially biased, pivotable friction linings.
Inventor: BUSSE JUERGEN
IPC: F16D1/00
Filed: 1998-12-16
Abstract: A clutch disc comprises two annular friction linings 6a,6b flanking a two-part resilient cushion comprising wavy segments 8a,b (Fig. 7).

A movement limiting device 28a,29a defining a fulcrum for the friction linings is provided between parts of the cushion and/or on the friction linings/carrier 15 to prevent movement of the linings toward each other beyond a minimum distance 30 and to compensate for conical flywheel/pressure plate deformation resulting from heating attributable to slippage during engagement and disengagement of the clutch. The metallic/plastic reinforcing carrier 15 may be adhered to or embedded in the lining material which may be organic. A rivetting arrangement between segments and linings is also disclosed (Fig. 6).

Title: Through-window image display system for moving vehicles
Inventor: JEFFERSON ADAM RAEBURN
IPC: G09F19/22
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: A system of displaying images to passengers in a moving vehicle, eg an underground train, includes a window which is rapidly switched from the opaque state 3 to a clear transparent state 2 as the vehicle passes a series of stationary posters 1.

Title: Three-dimensional signal processor using motion information upon decoding image signal
Inventor: KO DO-YOUNG
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: A three-dimensional signal processor for performing three-dimensional signal processing such as dual scanning/horizontal frequency conversion of a digital broadcasting signal, using a motion vector included in a decoded signal. In this processor, three-dimensional signal processing is performed using motion information extracted during decoding. If the motion is less than a minimum level then for double scan conversion the picture data for the first field to be interposed between two existing fields is synthesised from the picture data of the second field and picture data for the second field to be interposed between the two frames is synthesised from the picture data of the first field(Figure 3C not shown). When the motion is between a minimum and a maximum value the data from the first synthesised field is generated from that of the first field and likewise for the second synthesised field(Figure 3B not shown). When the motion is greater than a maximum value then the first field to be synthesised is generated from both first and second field with the first field having a higher weighting and the same for the second synthesised field with the second field having the higher weighting(Figure 3A). For progressive scan conversion the motion value would indicate whether inter or intra frame coding is to be used.

Title: Ophtalmic lens inspection system and method
Inventor: EBEL JAMES A
IPC: G02C7/02
Filed: 1993-11-26
Abstract: A lens inspection method and apparatus is disclosed comprising a pallet having wells for receiving one or more lens containers at the receiving point. A conveyor achieves uniformity of pallet motion needed in the direction of pallet travel and stability when transporting the lens in the orthogonal, non-translating directions by use of one or more guide rails and a mechanical bias means. Pallet wells for receiving the containers comprise holes that pass through the pallet. These holes along with a side driven transport system make possible an arrangement of a lamp and camera on opposite sides of the lens for capturing an image of a lens. A computer implemented algorithm processes the digitized image according to rules set forth in a program to determine the acceptability of the lenses. A lens disposition mechanism connected to the computer uses a signal generated by the computer and indicates lens acceptability to disposition the lens by physically separating a container with an acceptable lens from an unacceptable lens. After disposition of containers, the pallet is returned by conveyor to the lens receiving point.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain output information corresponding to the equipment of a plant only on a basis of input state change information, by discriminating logically only on a basis of input state change information whether the factor of a state change occurrence is an accident or an operation force. CONSTITUTION:Plant information of the operation of a breaker CB, the operation of a relay RY accompanied with the breaking of the breaker CB, and the operation of the relay RY not accompanied with the breaking of the breaker CB are taken into a computer. In figure, A1-An are storage information for an input position IP, and Aa function contents, and Ab indicates information of an equipment belonging to the plant. On a basis of stored information shown in figure, the computer discriminates whether the state is changed in the breaker CB or the relay RY. In case of the state change of the breaker CB, it is discriminated whether RY information for breaking of the breaker CB exists in state change information in a constant time or not. The state change is discriminated as based on an accident if it exists, and the state change is discriminated as based on operation if it does not exist.
