Title: Design of articles having inter-related parts
Inventor: CARROLL KENNETH
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 1991-05-09
Abstract: An apparatus for design of articles such as a mould has a knowledge design database 20, a design controller 21 and a user interface 22 for generation of items forming part of an article, parameters for the item being selected according to control rules within the database 20 and user inputs at the interface 22.

Title: Lockable electric socket
Inventor: GARNER JOHN GRAHAM
IPC: H01R13/639
Filed: 1992-10-01
Abstract: An electric socket is provided with a lock to obstruct the operation of one or more outlets in the socket. The lock operates either to lock a switch in the OFF position, or to make it impossible to insert a plug into the socket. In the case of a double switched socket both systems can operate simultaneously so that if an operating plug is removed no plug can then be inserted into the same socket. In the case of both locking operations the actuator is a cam which rotates with the lock shaft. Where both operations are required two cams are needed, one of which is an eccentrically mounted rotary cam.

Patent GB-2280967-A (GB)
Title: Display arrangements
Inventor: MOSLEY ALAN
IPC: G02F1/1335
Filed: 1994-08-15
Abstract: A display arrangement comprises an image intensifier tube 1 or some other device which provides a representation of a viewed scene at 3. A supertwist LCD 4 and associated polarisers 5 and 6 are located between the output 3 and a viewer 7. A ferroelectric liquid crystal shutter 11 is located between the LCD 4 and second polariser 6. The LCD 4 is controlled to produce symbology. By switching the shutter 11 the polarisation of the incident radiation is switched between two states differing by 90 DEG . This causes the LCD 4 to operate in two states. In one state the viewed scene is transmitted through the LCD 4 and in the other state it is absorbed and any symbology on the LCD 4 is contrasted with a dark absorbing background. The shutter 11 is switched sufficiently quickly that the observer 7 perceives the symbology overlaid on the viewed scene. <IMAGE>
