Title: Lock for handwheel operated valves
Inventor: COOPER FRANK ROBERT
IPC: F16K31/60
Filed: 1996-05-17
Abstract: A valve lock for locking a handwheel operated valve has a clamping part (25, 26, 29. 31) for clamping to the valve and a locking part lockable in one or more positions with respect to the clamping part, to prevent or allow operation of the valve in use. The clamping part comprises segments (3, 4) defining a closed loop-shaped track. The lockable part is retained in but slidable along the track when the valve lock is unlocked but fixed in position when the valve lock is locked. The segments (3, 4 ) are fixable together so that they define an annular body which can surround the spindle of a handwheel when in use so that the locking part can follow the circular motion of the handwheel.

Title: Automatic rotation of a visual display unit
Inventor: JEONG SEOK HWA
IPC: H04N5/64
Filed: 1999-11-12
Abstract: Apparatus for automatically rotating a visual display unit or a display screen 2 in accordance with the presence of one or more viewers comprises a body temperature sensing unit 10 for sensing the presence of a viewer. The body temperature sensing unit 10 employs an infrared light radiated from the front surface of the visual display unit 2. The output signal from the sensing unit 10 is sent to a discrimination unit 31, which determines an angular range within which the body temperature is sensed, and in particular, if several viewers are present, determines an angular range based on the outermost viewers of the group. This angular range is compared with a range value generated by a range value setting unit 33, and if the angular range sensed by the sensing unit 10 is greater than the value from the setting unit 33, then drive instructions are sent by the controller 34 to a driving unit 60, in order to rotate the VDU so that its orientation is optimised for the viewing group. In particular, the rotation of the VDU is based on the centre of the angular range value.

Patent GB-2342456-A (GB)
Title: Image sensor array test apparatus and method
Inventor: PRATER JAMES S
IPC: H04N17/00
Filed: 1996-06-28
Abstract: The invention provides for an image sensor array test apparatus and method in which a reset FET (32) is driven with a controllable voltage to set the reverse-bias voltage across a photo-diode (38) at any selectable level of test voltage. In this way each pixel sensor circuit (34) in the array may be tested as if it had received a desired amount of illumination. Alternatively, the drive voltage for the reset transistor (54) can be provided over a column output line (52) when no row access enable signal is applied to the array. In this situation the column line source follower circuit (62, 64) is inhibited by the row access FETs. Thus, a separate test voltage can be driven onto the column line (52), through a reset switch (68, 69), and connected through the pixel sensor reset transistor (54) to the pixel sensor photo-diode (58). The variable reset voltage, that is driven onto the column line (52), can be varied between ground and the normal bias voltage V<SB>DD</SB> for the pixel sensor by use of parallel connected P-channel FET (69) and N-channel FET (68).

Title: Procedure and apparatus for cooling a moving web of material coming out from cover of the drying apparatus and declining for solvent-condensation
Inventor: SEIDL PAUL G
IPC: F26B13/10
Filed: 1995-12-29
Abstract: A drying apparatus for a strip of material or web, including a conditioning zone (3) immediately following but fully integrated with the dryer (6), to lower the bulk temperature of the web. The web of material can be introduced to conditioned air which is substantially free of contaminants being evolved from the coating on the web. The temperature of the conditioned air is low enough to absorb heat from the web, effectively lowering the solvent evaporation rate, and can be controlled such that it is greater than the dew point of the contaminants being evolved from the web, thereby mitigating condensation that normally forms and visible vapours that form outside of the dryer enclosure (6). Pressure control is provided in the conditioning zone (3) so that solvent vapours will not escape and so that ambient make-up air can be regulated as required. Gas sealing between the conditioning zone (3) and the dryer (6) prevents hot, solvent vapour laden air from the dryer from escaping into the conditioning zone (3). <IMAGE>
