Title: Chemical compositions and uses
IPC: C11D3/10
Filed: 2002-01-18
Abstract: A dilutable cleaning composition comprises a pH-elevating component and a pH-lowering component, the composition being such that when it is mixed with water the pH-elevating component dissolves or disperses in the water thereby elevating the pH of the water to at least 8.5 and subsequently the pH-lowering component dissolves or disperses in the water, thereby lowering the pH of the water from at least 8.5 to not more than 4. When the water is at the raised pH, the cleaning composition is effective in removing proteinaceous or fatty soiling, and when the composition is at the lowered pH, the composition is effective at removing alkaline waste materials such as limescale. The cleaning composition is particularly suitable for use as a lavatory or hard surface cleaner.

Patent GB-0203038-D0 (GB)
Title: Document printed with graphical symbols which encode information
IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 2002-02-08
Abstract: A document is printed with graphical symbols which encode information but are not human readable; the graphical symbols are formed into some or all of visible element printed on the document. The outline of this element is used for synchronising an automated process for scanning the document to extract the encoded information from the element. In prior art systems, synchronising an automated process for scanning the document to extract the encoded information from the element requires large scale arrangement of the graphical symbols (e.g. a horizontal line of glyphs which are all forward facing and which intersect a vertical line of glyphs which are all rearward facing). This considerably mars the appearance of a printed document. This negative impact on appearance has been one of the major causes inhibiting the uptake of graphical symbol technology for encoding information.

Title: Television frame signal synchronizing circuits
IPC: H04N5/04
Filed: 1983-05-18
Abstract: A television frame signal synchronizing circuit comprises a presettable cyclic counter and a maximum count detector, a clock pulse generator for supplying clock pulses to the counter, a store for storing the count of the counter, and a source of reference frame pulses to which input frame pulses are to be synchronized, each reference frame pulse causing the count stored in the store to be loaded into the counter. A television signal processor is capable of adjusting the timing of television signals passed therethrough in dependence on a reverse frame pulse, the carry signals from the counter forming reverse frame pulses for supply to the television signal processor for adjusting the phase of the television signal passed therethrough, the television signal including the input frame pulses at least some of which are derived and supplied to the store which thereupon stores the count of the counter. The phase of the television signal is therefore adjusted until the input frame pulses are in synchronism with the reference frame pulses.
