Title: Remote diagnostics after boot error
Inventor: DENT DAVID E
IPC: G06F11/273
Filed: 1997-09-02
Abstract: A method and system are provided wherein remote diagnostics are enabled 430 if a boot error occurs. Communications code is provided within the BIOS which allows the initialisation and use of a communications device, eg a network adapter or modem even if the system fails to boot properly. Communication is established with a remote system where a technician can analyse an error log from the boot sequence and run diagnostic tests. Remedial action can then be taken from the remote system or advice given to the local user to allow the fault to be corrected. The communications code may provide a rudimentary web browser application and may contact the remote system via the Internet.

Title: Spark plug, eg for a direct-injection i.c. engine with charge stratification
Inventor: BUBECK GUNTHER
IPC: H01T13/52
Filed: 1997-10-27
Abstract: The spark plug 1 has an insulator 4 which is surrounded by casing 5 forming an earth electrode 2 and has a central electrode 3 in its interior which projects axially beyond the earth electrode 2 by a distance b which determines the axial extent of the spark gap 19. The insulator tapers towards the central electrode 3 and extends beyond the earth electrode 2. The spark jumps to the end of the insulator 4 and thence to the earth electrode 2 and is controllable despite its long length. The spark plug 1 is thus suitable for igniting mixtures with locally different concentrations, eg when a fuel injector 9 produces a stratified cone 20.
Patent GB-973148-A (GB)
Abstract: 973,148. Binaural systems. PHILCO CORPORATION. July 5, 1961 [July 5, 1960], No. 24266/61. Headings H4J and H4R. In a two-channel stereophonic system the channels are cross-coupled at low frequencies in order to equalize the low frequency signals in each channel and hence employ the full capacity of the output stages at low frequency. Fig. 1A shows a crystal stereophonic gramophone transducer in which the two channel outputs are connected by a resistor 25 which with the capacitance of the transducer effectively form a low-pass filter coupling the two channels. Fig. 3 shows a stereophonic reproducing system in which an additional transformer 84 is connected with one half of its split primary winding connected in series with the normal channel output transformers 88A and 88B. High-frequency signals are by-passed across transformer 84 by capacitor 106, while the antiphase low-frequency signal in each channel, developed across the appropriate winding 82A or 82B, is fed via resistors 102 and 104 to the grid of the output valve in the other channel, thus equalizing the L.F. signals in each channel. A further embodiment is shown in Fig. 4 in which the antiphase signals appearing across the unby-passed cathode loads of the output valves are compared by resistors 132 and 134, the high-frequency components being by-passed to earth by capacitor 136 and the low-frequency difference signals fed to the grids of valves 60A and 60B by resistors 142 and 144. In this embodiment the centre low-frequency speaker 118 and its transformer 84 may be dispensed with when loud-speakers 114A and 114B will each reproduce substantially the same signals at low frequencies. A theoretical analysis is given to show that the cross coupling according to the invention may produce a more stable system in a stereophonic reproducer incorporating negative feedback.

Patent GB-2326351-A (GB)
Title: Flexible wheeled board
Inventor: INGLIS JOSEPH MATTHEW
IPC: A63C17/01
Filed: 1998-06-01
Abstract: A flexible board 1 has two pairs of wheels 3 mounted on axles 4 which are flexibly attached to either end of the board. When the board is flexed at a point between the axles under the weight of the rider, and tilted about its longitudinal axis when the rider shifts his weight, it forms an arc shape due to its flexible nature thus causing the axes of the wheel axles to converge and provide steering for the board. The axles 4 may be secured to the board 1 by elastomeric bushes 11, 12, 13, 14. The bolts, 7, 8 are received in oversized bores to allow the wheels to remain in contact with the ground when the board is tilted. The ends of the board to which the axles 4 are secured are inclined upwards from the rest of the board to increase the tendency of the wheel axles to converge when the board is flexed. The elastomeric bushes 11, 12, 13, 14 and the flexible nature of the board combine to provide suspension for the user, making the board suitable for off-road use over rough surfaces.

Title: System and method for discriminating between direct and reflected electromagnetic energy
Inventor: KROHN WILLIAM T
IPC: G01S7/483
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: An energy beam threat discrimination system (110) adapted for use with laser beam energy (134). The system (110) includes a first detector (114) for detecting a first laser signal. A second detector (112) detects a coherent laser signal. A timer circuit (124, 126) establishes a time interval between the detection of the first laser signal and the detection of the coherent laser signal and provides an output (130) in response thereto. A control circuit (128, 130) determines, based on the output (130), if the first laser signal and/or the second laser signal is threatening. In a specific embodiment, the first detector (114) provides an event detection flag (118) as an output in response to the detection of a first laser signal. The first detector (114) includes a high sensitivity laser light detector (142), a pre-amplifier (144), and an analog threshold circuit (146). The coherent detector (112) provides a coherent detection flag (116) as an output in response to the detection of the coherent laser signal. The timing circuit (124, 126) receives the event detection flag (118) as input and includes a digital clock circuit (124) that starts a timer (126) upon receipt of the event detection flag (118). A digital comparator circuit (128) is activated by the receipt of the coherent detection flag (116) which triggers a comparaison between the output (130) of the timer circuit (124, 126) and a time threshold (131) and provides a reflection signal output indicating if the laser signal is a potential threat or not. The time threshold (131) for determining that the laser signal is a potential threat is approximately 10 nanoseconds. Alternatively, the time threshold for determining that the laser signal is not a potential threat is approximately 40 microseconds.

Title: Digital trunk circuit supporting multiple trunk circuits
Inventor: JEONG CHANG-RAE
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: A digital trunk circuit supporting multiple trunk circuits assembled in a single board. A trunk selector outputs trunk select information for selecting one of the multiple trunk circuits according to an operation of a user. A ROM stores drive programs for the respective trunk circuits. A framer and line interface serves as a T1 framer or an E1 framer according to a register value, and includes line interface nodes having a connection for the T1 framer or the E1 framer. A receiving transformer connected to an office line, receives a signal incoming from the office line. A transmission transformer connected to the office line, transmits a signal to the office line. A relay switch including a plurality of relays connected between the receiving transformer and the line interface nodes of the framer and line interface and between the transmission transformer and the line interface nodes, provides a receiving path between the line interface nodes and the receiving transformer and a transmission path between the line interface nodes and the transmission transformer, in response to relay drive control signals. A first processor determines a trunk circuit to be driven depending on the trunk select information output from the trunk selector, drives an associated drive program stored in the ROM according to the determination result, generates a register value for determining an operation mode for a framer of the framer and line interface to provide the generated register value to the framer and line interface, and generates the relay drive control signals to provide the generated relay drive control signals to the relay switch.
