Title: Railway key token signalling and control system without interconnecting cabling
Inventor: TAYLOR GRAHAME FREDERIC
IPC: B61L27/00
Filed: 2014-02-12
Abstract: Trackside key token machines use trapped key technology to control the issue of physical key tokens and to signal and control trains through individual railway track sections. Data (e.g. headcount and roll-call data) is communicated between the token machines and a remote central control unit, e.g. by wireless transmission of messages encrypted using TERN technique. The central control unit analyses the data to count and account for key tokens and controls the issue of tokens by the token machines. Drivers may be identified by RFID during token transactions and trains may carry GPS. The central control unit may include a user interface to inform a controller of the status of tokens, track sections and trains. The system requires no fixed infrastructure (e.g. token machines may be portable and need no cables between them); nor does it require trains to carry electronic devices.
Patent GB-2513463-A (GB)
Title: Improved lock component corrections
Inventor: WILDGOOSE JASON LEE
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2014-03-05
Abstract: A method of calibrating a mass spectrometer comprises initially calibrating or re-calibrating the mass spectrometer at time T0 whilst measuring and preferably recording a time-of-flight or mass-to-charge ratio M0 of one or more lockmass ions. At a subsequent time T1, the time-of-flight or mass-to-charge ratio M1 of the lockmass ions is measured again and the difference between M0 and M1 is calculated. The time of flight or mass to charge ratio of ions is then adjusted by the said difference. The instrument setting of the mass spectrometer may also be adjusted accordingly. The invention compensates for instrument drift with time whilst avoiding systematic calibration error, which can arise in conventional methods when M1 is compared with the theoretical lockmass value rather than with the actual measurement M0 at the time of the initial calibration. The method may also be used for calibrating the physico-chemical properties of ions in other analytical instruments such as ion mobility, differential ion mobility or elution time.

Title: Nanoimprint patterning method
Inventor: MARK HERRINGTON
IPC: H01L51/52
Filed: 2015-09-01
Abstract: A method of imprinting a polymer layer of an organic electronic device uses a stamp pressed into the layer while it is temporarily heated above its glass transition temperature, Gt, and then withdrawn after the layer is cooled below this Gt temperature. The patterned layer is preferably used as a method of improving light extraction efficiency in OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes), resulting from loss mechanisms due to surface plasmon polariton modes at an electrode, such as a metalic cathode, whereby optical periodic surface irregularities or gratings (periodic nanostructures) are formed to scatter light at interfaces in OLED structures. The optical scattering is preferably caused by a pattern imprinted in the electron transport layer, ETL of the OLED. The claimed method of forming the OLED preferably deposits the layers as a stack on a substrate stating with an anode layer to then leave the ETL at the top, which is then imprinted, and the cathode formed on the patterned ETL layer. The stamp can be applied at between 2 16 bar pressure with the layer being between 50-500 nm thick, and the layer is preferably heated at least 40 degrees above the Tg.
