Patent GB-201100294-D0 (GB)
Title: Peripheral devices for use with cellular telephones
Filed: 2011-01-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to powered audio peripheral devices such as audio headsets, which can be used both for the reception of stereo music signals from a cellular handset and for telephone voice signals, and where the power for the audio peripheral device is provided by the cellular telephone handset. The headset is provided with a pair of earphones, for use with the cellular telephone handset, and a USB connector for connecting the device to the handset over two connection paths. The headset is conditioned to operate in either a first mode, in which stereo signals are supplied from the handset to the earphones, or a second mode, in which mono voice telephone signals are supplied to both earphones. A switching unit in the device automatically derives operative power from the handset over one or the other of the connection paths, depending upon the mode of operation. It allows power to be supplied to the device from the handset over alternative pin connections.

Patent GB-201210850-D0 (GB)
Title: Thermoplastic polymer powder
Filed: 2012-06-19
Abstract: A method of modifying a thermoplastic polymer powder. A suspension of thermoplastic polymer powder and reinforcement elements in a liquid is heated within a reaction chamber so that the thermoplastic polymer powder becomes softened and the reinforcement elements migrate into the softened thermoplastic polymer powder to form modified thermoplastic polymer powder. The modified thermoplastic polymer powder is then separated from the liquid. The reinforcement elements have a electromagnetic moment and are subjected to an electromagnetic field as the suspension is heated. The interaction of the electromagnetic field with the electromagnetic moment of the reinforcement elements causes the reinforcement elements to become aligned with the electromagnetic field before they migrate into the powder.

Title: Tape drive velocity control
Filed: 2011-07-14
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a method of operating a magnetic tape drive, a magnetic tape drive and a servo control system are provided for obtaining and maintaining velocity control in a magnetic tape drive. In one embodiment, a method is provided for operating a magnetic tape drive. The tape drive includes a plurality of DC motors, and each DC motor has a plurality of Hall sensors. The DC motors are under the control of a servo system which is configured to read location information from the magnetic tape, and compute a primary tape velocity from the location information, and sense a secondary and tertiary velocity signal and compute a tape velocity based on one of the sensed secondary velocity signal and tertiary velocity. The method includes detecting if the primary velocity location information is available. In response to detecting that the primary velocity location information is available the primary velocity is employed to control the servo system. In response to detecting the primary velocity location information is unavailable then one of a secondary or a tertiary velocity signal is employed. The secondary velocity signal is employed when an absolute value of a term related to tape velocity is less than a predetermined value. The tertiary velocity signal is employed when the absolute value of the term related to tape velocity is greater than the predetermined value.

Title: Device for isolating and depositing granular products
Inventor: BECKER REINHARD
IPC: B65G65/40
Filed: 1982-08-03
Granted: 1987-02-05
Abstract: A funnel-shaped device is provided with one or two segments serving as brackets to enlarge the bottom opening of the funnel which, when closed, is smaller than the smallest piece of grain to be deposited; a centrally disposed air tube blows air axially toward the bottom opening to cause a single piece of grain to be aerodynamically held on the opening while the remainder of the grains hover at a higher level. A slide element such as a fork or the like can be removably disposed at an intermediate level, possibly to serve for opening a single-bracket element. This permits a lower hovering level and a correspondingly increasing cycle time and depositing rate.

Title: Hybrid camera arrangement
Inventor: KEITH LAURA E
IPC: G03B7/16
Filed: 1983-10-28
Granted: 1987-02-26
Abstract: A "hybrid" exposure control system for a photographic camera apparatus controls exposure in response to both the firing of a quench strobe at an appropriate size aperture corresponding to the determined camera-to-subject distance and to the subsequent quenching of the strobe in response to the detection and integration of reflected strobe light from the scene in correspondence with the scene light admitted to the film plane. An increased degree of exposure correction can thus be made possible since a slight error in determining the camera-to-subject range can be compensated by the detection and integration of reflected strobe light to provide a flash quenching signal.

Title: Food container for storing and if required taking meat out of it, and method therefor
Inventor: SCHLEGEL JURGEN
IPC: A22C7/00
Filed: 1983-05-20
Granted: 1987-04-30
Abstract: An arrangement for storing or preserving perishables such as meat has a vessel with an open upper end. The vessel may be provided with a cooling system. The vessel has a projecting rim and a U-shaped carrier is placed on top of the vessel upside down so as to engage the rim. The carrier supports a plunger which may be moved up-and-down inside the vessel and may be clamped in any position. A jack is releasably mounted on the carrier and operates to move the plunger down in the vessel. Perishables such as slabs of meat are placed in the vessel to form a stack therein. Air spaces in the stack are minimized by placing the perishables in full surface-to-surface contact with one another and with the walls of the vessel. A cover is placed on the stack and the plunger is lowered onto the cover. The jack is operated to move the plunger downward and thereby pressurize the stack. Sufficient pressure is applied to essentially eliminate any air spaces which remain in the stack and to squeeze a small amount of juice out of the perishables near the upper surface of the stack. The amount of juice is just sufficient to cover and thereby protect the upper surface of the stack. The sides and bottom of the stack are protected by the walls of the vessel. The plunger is clamped so that it continues to apply pressure to the stack and the jack is removed and used to pressurize perishables in another vessel.

Title: Nitrogen rejection from natural gas
Inventor: PERVIER JAMES WILLERS
IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 1983-05-06
Granted: 1988-02-04
Abstract: A process is dislosed for rejecting nitrogen from a natural gas feed containing nitrogen over a wide range of composi- tions, e.g. 5-85% nitrogen by volume, under elevated pressure using a single distillation column and a closed loop methane heat pump which reboils and refluxes the column. An intermediate reflux condenser is refrigerated by both the heat pump and overhead nitrogen fraction from the distillation column. The process can handle feeds with increasing nitrogen content and more than 100 ppmv carbon dioxide. The feed can be at pipeline pressure with the natural gas liquid components still present or at lower pressure with natural gas liquids removed. A mixed cryogenic refrigerant can be used in the heat pump as an alternative to methane. The process provides a high methane recovery over the entire feed range, and provides a nitrogen product stream having an elevated pressure suitable for recycling and reinjection to an oil or gas well to improve well head pressure.

Title: Self-contained fan clutch
Inventor: HANKS JAMES V
IPC: F16D43/25

Granted: 1988-09-15
Abstract: The self-contained fan clutch includes a housing, in which is contained a rotatable drive disc driven by a source of power connected to the housing and the drive disc. Also mounted within the housing is an annular piston having an annular piston reciprocable within a cylinder member. The piston portion carries a friction facing engageable with the driven drive disc when the piston is actuated within the cylinder. The piston divides the cylinder into a high pressure side and a low pressure side with the piston, piston portion and cylinder carried by the housing, with the housing having a series of fan blades mounted on it. The cylinder mounts a reciprocal pump plunger actuated by a cam mounted on the driven drive disc for pressurising the high pressure side of the cylinder, which causes the friction facing of the piston portion to engage the drive disc and be rotated together with the housing and fans. The pump plunger is actuated by a thermal sensor pill.
