Title: A partial barrier for a goal
Inventor: MATHESON ALISTAIR DOMINIC
IPC: A63B63/00
Filed: 1998-09-11
Abstract: A training aid in the form of a barrier 4 which partially blocks a goal mouth 1, encourages players to aim for the unobstructed areas. The barrier 4 simulates the reach of a diving goalkeeper thus providing the players with practise at aiming for the difficult areas of the net which might result in a higher number of goals being scored. The barrier 4 may be made of a rigid material such as plastic or of a material such as netting, and it may be partially transparent in order not to be off-putting to the player. The barrier may comprise a number of separate barriers which may be overlapped to change the area obstructed, or a deformable perimeter on a net barrier may allow it to have its shape changed. In one embodiment the barrier or barriers may depend from the crossbar of the goal, or alternatively the barrier may be supported on a stand as in figure 5.

Title: Conveyor construction with tensioning device
Inventor: HOSCH MICHEAL A
IPC: B65G15/00
Filed: 1999-01-18
Abstract: A conveyor construction 10 includes a frame 12, a belt 20, and a tensioning section 18 mounted for longitudinal movement relative to the frame to control tension of the belt. A drive member 172 is rotatably mounted to the frame by a rotation arrangement, and is drivingly engaged with the tensioning section for imparting longitudinal movement of the tensioning section. The longitudinal position of the tensioning section is selectively fixed relative to the frame by a locking device 180. Movement of the tensioning device may be achieved through the rotation of a manually operable handle 188 located on one side of the frame. The locking device may include a manually operable handle (186, fig 7) located on the other side of the frame, that comprises a threaded locking member 182 operable to frictionally engage the drive member with the frame. Another aspect of the invention includes a spindle mounting arrangement 86 where a cavity is defined between an upper wall (124, fig 5) and a side wall of a conveyor construction. Further aspects of the invention include a conveyor construction including means to prevent lateral movement of the belt relative to the spindles (see fig 4), and a conveyor construction with an engagement structure provided on at least one side plate member that effects movement of the belt tensioning mechanism. In yet another aspect of the invention a conveyor construction includes a gap between a spindle engagement surface, and a spindle mounting surface, which is covered by the belt. Another aspect of the invention includes an accessory mounting arrangement for a conveyor including a clip member with a pair of spaced walls, located on opposite sides of a conveyor frame wall, where a conveyor accessory is engageable with the clip member.

Title: Reducing the data rate of a speech signal by replacing portions of encoded speech with code-words representing recognised words or phrases
Inventor: SPICER JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 1999-03-25
Abstract: Described herein is a method and apparatus for reducing the bit rate of transmitted signals in a telecommunications system. This is achieved by operating a speech recognition device (212) in parallel with a speech coding device (210) in a transmitter terminal (200). An analogue input signal (204) from a microphone (202) is digitised in analogue-to-digital converter 206 to provide a digital signal (208) which is applied to both the speech coding device (210) and the speech recognition device (212). Output signal (220) for transmission by antenna (222) is formed by combining output signals (214, 216) from the speech coding device (210) and the speech recognition device (212) using switch (218), recognised speech being converted to codewords which replace packets or sequences of packets of the coded signal corresponding thereto. In a receiver terminal (250), antenna 252 receives the transmitted signal and passes it to both a speech coding device (256) and a speech generator (258) prior to being converted to an analogue signal (270) for speaker (272). Speech generator (258) recognises codewords present in the signal and converts them back to digital signals (262) and then overwrites digital signal (260) from speech coding device (256) via switch (264) to reconstruct the complete signal prior to being passed to digital-to-analogue converter (268). In alternative embodiments (Figs. 3, 4) the encoding and recognition devices operate in sequence.

A resist mask 207 is used to pattern the silicon oxide layer 206 and expose the contact hole 205 by etching. In this manner a groove 208 is formed in the silicon oxide layer for receiving a wiring layer. Metal is deposited in over the resultant structure to form a wiring layer in the groove 208 and a via contact in the contact hole 205.

Title: Handheld sensing apparatus
Inventor: SUNSHINE STEVEN A
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: A vapor or analyte sensing device that is sufficiently small and lightweight to be handheld, and also modular so as to allow the device to be conveniently adapted for use in sensing the presence and concentration of a wide variety of specified vapors or analytes. The device provides these benefits using a sensor module that incorporates a sample chamber (810) and a plurality of sensors (820) located on a chip or board (830) releasably carried within or adjacent to the sample chamber. Optionally, the sensor module (150c) can be configured to be releasably plugged into a receptacle formed in the sensing device. Vapors or analytes are directed to pass through the sample chamber with cover (832), whereupon the sensors (820) provide a distinct combination of electrical signals in response to each vapor/analyte. The sensors of the sensor module can take the form of chemically sensitive resistors having electrical resistances which vary according to the adjacent vapor/analyte concentration/identity.

Title: Air filter for clean room
Inventor: LOWES ALBERT ROBERT
IPC: B01D46/42
Filed: 1999-09-10
Abstract: An air filter for a clean room or other air-conditioned chamber prevents leakage of unfiltered air into the clean room. Unfiltered air passes into the housing via spigot 1.

Patent GB-2342492-A (GB)
Title: Low noise hard disc drive
Inventor: KANG CHANG-IK
IPC: G11B21/08
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: A hard disc drive (10) is described in which movement of a transducer (16) on an actuator arm (24) across the surface of a disc (12) is controlled so that the acceleration of the read/write transducer is a substantially sinusoidal function of time. The transducer is integrated into a slider (20) that is incorporated into a head gimbal assembly (22). The movement of the actuator arm and the transducer is controlled by a controller that moves the transducer from a first track to a new track in accordance with a seek routine and a servo control routine. The sinusoidal acceleration reduces the high harmonics found in conventional square waveforms, and thus minimises the acoustic noise of the head gimbal assembly and reduces the settling time of the transducer and the duration of the seek routine. Also described is the generation of position, velocity and acceleration values on the basis of actual and ideal position, velocity and acceleration respectively.

Filed: 1998-05-29
Abstract: A smart airbag system (110, 111, 120) including a sensor mechanism for controlling the deployment of an occupant protection apparatus in a motor vehicle, such as a gas-inflatable airbag, to protect an occupant of the vehicle in a crash. The system includes a sensor (22) mounted to the vehicle for sensing accelerations of the vehicle and producing an analog signal representative thereof, an electronic converter (124) for receiving and for converting the analog signal into a digital signal, and a processor (13) which receives the digital signal. The processor includes a pattern recognition system and produces a deployment control signal to a gas control module (135) which controls the flow of gas into or out of the airbag to optimize injury protection capability of the airbag. The system also accepts inputs from occupant position, velocity and weight and/or anticipatory crash sensors, when such are available, and may affect the deployment control signal based on these inputs.
