Patent EP-1627907-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MOORE STEPHEN
IPC: C10L1/14
Filed: 2005-08-08
Abstract: A unique combination of a certain poly(oxyalkylene) amine and a thiadiazole compound when employed as a fuel additive in a hydrocarbon fuel such as gasoline or diesel fuel will preclude fuel gauge sending units from sustaining sulfur-related corrosion damage or restore fuel gauge sending units, particularly silver-based fuel gauge sending units, in vehicle fuel storage tanks to like-new operational condition. Moreover, a method suitable for use in precluding fuel gauge sending units from sustaining sulfur-related corrosion damage or restoring silver-based fuel gauge sending units in gasoline or diesel vehicle fuel storage tanks to like-new operational condition using the combination of a certain poly(oxyalkylene) amine and a thiadiazole compound as a fuel additive is also described.
Patent EP-1635370-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NANATAKI TSUTOMU
IPC: H01J1/304
Filed: 2005-09-12
Abstract: An electron-emitting apparatus includes an emitter section made of a dielectric material, lower electrodes, upper electrodes having micro through holes, insulating layers disposed on the upper surface of the emitter section and between the adjacent upper electrodes, and focusing electrodes to which a predetermine potential is applied and which are disposed on the insulating layers. The electron-emitting apparatus applies a negative potential to the upper electrode to accumulate electrons in the emitter section and then applies a positive potential to the upper electrode. As a result, the polarization of the emitter section is reversed, and the accumulated electrons are emitted through the micro through holes in the upper electrodes by Coulomb repulsion. Owing to electric fields generated by the focusing electrodes, the emitted electrons travel in the upward direction of the upper electrode without spreading into a shape of a cone.

The mounting (6) is suitable for securing the drive unit (8) to a trailer, the, or each, drive unit (8) is movably coupled to the mounting (6). The, or each, actuation means (36) is coupled to the mounting (6) such that, when actuated, the actuation means (36) cause the drive unit (8) with which it is associated to move relative to the mounting (6) so that, in use, the actuation means (36) can be actuated to move the drive means (8) between an engaged position, in which the roller (12) is engaged with the wheel (4) of a trailer, and a released position, in which the roller (12) is not engaged with the wheel (4) of a trailer. The or each drive unit (8) comprises an actuation edge (46) and each actuation means (36) comprise a cam (38) rotatable about a first axis (42). The cam (38) has a circumferential edge (40). The radial distance from the first axis (42) of the circumferential edge (40) varies around the circumference and the circumferential edge (40) slidably engages with the actuation edge (46) of the drive means (8) such that, as the cam (38) is rotated, the actuation edge (46) is forced to move relative to the first axis (42) thereby causing the drive unit (8) to move relative to the mounting (16).

Abstract: A method and apparatus utilizing prosody modification of a speech signal output by a text-to-speech (TTS) system to substantially prevent an interactive voice response (IVR) system from understanding the speech signal without significantly degrading the speech signal with respect to human understanding. The present invention involves modifying the prosody of the speech output signal by using the prosody of the user's response to a prompt. In addition, a randomly generated overlay frequency is used to modify the speech signal to further prevent an IVR system from recognizing the TTS output. The randomly generated frequency may be periodically changed using an overlay timer that changes the random frequency signal at a predetermined intervals.
