Patent GB-2314620-A (GB)
Title: Vehicle light intensity monitor
Inventor: MORRIS DEAN PAUL
IPC: B60Q1/14
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: A vehicle light intensity monitor comprises a light dependent resistor (1) to form the major part of an additional 12 Volt electric circuit connected to a vehicles exterior lights circuit, a voltage feed from the positive wiring of the vehicle ignition, a transistor or digital combinational logic gate (2) acting as a digital switch to positively actuate the vehicle exterior lights (12) when the light intensity is low and the resistance of the LDR is high so that the voltage applied to the digital switch is high at 12 Volts. A high intensity light at the resistor will cause a low resistance and therefore a low output voltage, so that the light circuit is broken by the digital switch, and the vehicle exterior lights are switched off automatically. The LDR may be incorporated into a vehicle interior mirror, a dashboard moulding or the vehicle exterior lights, and may be positioned by a minimotor.

Title: Head gimbal assembly adapted to reduce unwanted capacitance
Inventor: SHIRAISHI MASAHI
IPC: G11B5/48
Filed: 1997-04-03
Abstract: A head gimbal assembly (HGA) comprises a metal flexure 70, a conductive pattern of lead lines 74a-74d and an insulating layer 76 disposed between the flexure and lead lines. A plurality of recesses 78 are formed in the flexure underneath the lead lines in order to increase the average distance and thus the parasitic capacitance between the flexure and the conductive pattern.

Patent GB-2323141-A (GB)
Title: A viscous fluid operated friction coupling with short circuiting means
Inventor: CHLUDEK ADRIAN
IPC: F16D43/284
Filed: 1997-05-16
Abstract: A coupling comprises a friction coupling 12 loaded by a piston 19 which is mounted in a pressure chamber 21 of a speed-sensing control assembly 13. The pressure chamber 21 contains a disc-shaped rotational member 22 and a disc-shaped pumping and control member 23 having a shear channel 37 with a rotational stop 41 mounted therein. The stop 41, depending on its position, seals connecting channels 30, 32, 43 and is rotatably moved by resilient end stops 201, 202 so that, as the frictional forces increase, the stop 41 is moved from one position to another. This results in aperture 31 causing short circuiting between the channel 32 leading to reservoir 26 and the connecting channel 43 leading to the pressure chamber 21. In this way, the pressure build-up by means of the shear channel 37 collapses so that, at different speeds, the pressure build-up and thus the transferable torque is reduced until end stops 201, 202 spring back into position. Pressure chamber 21 contains a viscous fluid that is pressurized by the rotational member 22 when housing 14 rotates relative to hub 16.

Title: Heating apparatus comprising a resilient and pivotable control device
Inventor: SHARPLES JAMES HENRY
IPC: H01H37/34
Filed: 1998-05-21
Abstract: A heating apparatus comprises a thin metal plate electrical heating element 4 such as a thick film resistive heating element. A control device 5, 6 is provided for the heating element 4 and comprises a temperature actuated switch located within a housing 20. A resilient means 21 is provided for biassing the housing 20 of the control device 5, 6 towards an adjacent surface 10 of the heating element 4. A mounting means 25, 26, 27 retains the control device 5, 6 in position relative to the heating element 4 whilst permitting limited pivotal movement in at least two dimensions. The resilient means 21 therefore retains a portion of the control device 5, 6 in contact with the adjacent surface 10 of the heating element 4 despite any relative movement between the heating element 4 and the body of the apparatus.
Patent GB-2325805-A (GB)
Title: Selecting a channel in a composite analogue/digital TV receiver
Inventor: RYU CHOONG-IL
IPC: H04N21/40
Filed: 1998-05-22
Abstract: A tuning table for all received signals, such as those from satellite, terrestrial and CATV sources, is compiled in memory during a self-tuning phase. Channel information carried in the signal in each channel is detected and stored in the memory. This self-tuning operation may be repeated regularly during standby. Channel information is displayed on the screen when a new channel is to be selected, and a screen cursor may be controlled to select the desired channel. If the new selected channel is of a different analogue/digital mode to that of the channel currently tuned, then the receiver mode is altered automatically so that the user does not have to enter the mode of the new desired channel.

Patent GB-2339517-A (GB)
Title: Message transmission between network nodes connected by parallel links
Inventor: TALLURI MADHUSUDHAN
IPC: H04L1/16
Filed: 1999-06-01
Abstract: A first computer sends a sequence of messages to a second computer using remote write operations to directly store each message in a corresponding memory location in the second computer. The second computer retains information denoting the sequence numbers of the messages it receives and processes, and it acknowledges each received message with an asynchronous acknowledgment message. The first computer keeps track of which messages it has sent but for which it has not yet received an acknowledgment. Whenever the first computer determines that it has failed to receive a message acknowledgment from the second computer in a timely fashion, or it needs to reuse previously used message sequence numbers, the first computer undertakes remedial actions to resynchronize the first and second computers. The process begins by prompting the second computer to flush and process all the messages in its receive FIFO, and then comparing sequence number information recorded by the second computer with the sequence numbers of the outstanding, unacknowledged messages sent by the first computer. If the comparison indicates that any messages sent by the first computer were not received and processed by the second computer, those messages are re-transmitted. If necessary, during resynchronization the first computer will activate a different communication interface than the one previously used so as to establish a reliable connection to the second computer. After a success resynchronization, normal "send only" message operation resumes. At predefined times, the sequence number information retained by the second computer is cleared.
