Title: Determining fault cuts in horizons in seismic data
Inventor: VAN BEMMEL PETER P
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 1997-09-12
Abstract: An interpretation workstation based apparatus having an "Auto Fault" software stored therein automatically identifies a plurality of fault cuts in each of a plurality of horizons in a seismic data volume in response to a plurality of predetermined "horizon time structures". When a processor in the workstation executes the "Auto Fault" software, the processor will receive the "horizon time structures" and perform the following steps: (a) identify valid gaps in each of the horizon time structures where each gap has a proper length and a proper slope, (b) locate midpoints in each of the valid gaps, (c) draw fault cuts at each of the midpoints of each of the valid gaps in the horizon time structure where the drawn fault cut has an inclination angle equal to a predefined and user input inclination angle for single horizon analysis, and an angle determined by association for multiple horizon analysis, and (d) extend the upper and the lower part of the horizon of the horizon time structure to the newly drawn fault cuts until a pair of fault contacts on the fault cuts are determined whereby each of the plurality of fault cuts in each of the plurality of horizons in the seismic data are automatically and rapidly determined.

Title: Power source control for a portable radio transceiver
Inventor: YOKOTA HIDETSUGU
IPC: H04B1/3822
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: If a portable radio telephone is in a call waiting state, a battery (2, Fig. 1) is disconnected ST207 from a main circuit (7) of the telephone if the battery voltage fails to or below a first predetermined level 52 at which there is still sufficient battery charge left for the telephone to be able to make a call. A key input detector (4) detects the presence or absence of key inputs from operating keys of the telephone in order to determine whether the telephone is in a call waiting state or in an active state. If the telephone is in an active state, the battery is disconnected from the main circuit (7) if the battery voltage falls to or below a second voltage level 51. The second voltage level 51 is less than the first level 52, and corresponds to a level at which the battery charge is almost exhausted.

Title: Door closer
Inventor: ASTON RICHARD
IPC: E05F3/22
Filed: 1998-02-18
Abstract: With door opening, door-closer piston 16 moves in direction A, compressing closing spring 17 as fluid flows from chamber 22 via piston chamber 18 to chamber 21. A DC supply applied to coil 40 moves core 39 to close valve 34, 36, preventing fluid flowing from chamber 18 to chamber 22, and holding the door open. Cutting the DC supply, e.g. by a fire alarm, opens valve 34, 36 and spring 17 closes the door. The position of coil 40, biased by spring 52, is adjusted by knurled nut 48, to move the coil along core 39 to adjust the manual force required to overcome the coil and start door closing.

Title: A fuel gas generator
Inventor: SINGLETON GEOFFREY
IPC: C25B9/00
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: A fuel gas generator adapted to produce separate supplies of oxygen and hydrogen for use as fuel in a vehicle engine. In one example, the cell comprises an electrolytic bath 10 with spaced electrodes 12 and 13 therein and power supply connections 19 and 20 thereto. The electrodes are mounted on vertical shafts 15 driven by motors 18 so that they may be spun to release gas bubbles from the electrode surfaces. The gases are collected separately from a pair of hoods 22 above the electrolyte surface. Such a device may be compactly contained singly or in multiple units within a gas-driven vehicle thus avoiding the need for an on-board gas storage tank. The generator will provide sufficient gas to start the engine prior to regeneration of fresh gases by the cell. In a further embodiment the fuel gas generator is characterised by each electrode being in the form of a plurality of generally horizontal plates 30 mounted in superimposed relationship on is driven upright shaft, there being peripheral upstanding protuberances or flanges 32 on each plate for partial retention of gases bubbles produced thereon.

Title: Bitmap font data storage within data processing systems
Inventor: SYMES DOMINIC
IPC: G09G5/22
Filed: 1999-02-05
Abstract: Character codes 2 representing pictograph font characters may be used to determine an address 8 within a variable length coded data stream 10 of pixel data for the whole font, relevant to the character concerned. This access is via a two level table lookup with the first table level Table I being addressed by part of the character code 2 to return an initial offset HuffOff within the coded data stream, an average size AvSz of data for a character and a pointer TB2Off to a second table Table 2. The pointer specifies the beginning of a range of entries in the second table to be matched against the rest of the character code 2 to lookup an error value Err. The address 8 is generated from the information HuffOff and AvSz in the first table using the error value Err and the position N within the second table Table 2 that led to the match. The pixel bitmaps for pictograph characters can be divided into smaller tiles and each of these tiles given a code. The tile codes may then be Huffman coded to provide highly efficient compression of the pixel bitmap font data.

Title: Self-sealing septa
Inventor: VAN LANDUYT CHRISTOPHE
IPC: A61M39/00
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: A self-sealing needle injection hub has two resilient, elastomeric sealing members 13 and 14 mounted adjacent one another in a housing 1, member 14 having a pierced passage 18 through which a needle 20 can be inserted. (Member 13 may also have a pierced passage 16). The outer member 13 is thick and relatively rigid; the inner member 14 is preferably thinner and flexible. Both members are radially compressed by the housing 1, the inner member 14 bowing away from the outer member 13 at its centre. The action of withdrawing a needle 20 from the hub 1, combined with the pressure of blood on the inner member 14, maintains the inner member flat against the outer member 13, thereby further compressing the passage 18 through the inner member.

Title: Removing X-ray Cross-talk in Low Energy X-ray Detectors
Inventor: GEUS GEORG
IPC: G01N23/06
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: After the X-ray examination of an object (2) the attenuated X-ray (FX') is split into individual energy ranges in order to determine the material of the object. The X-ray is detected by a device comprising several pairs of low energy (4) and high energy (7) detectors of identical construction. However, cross-talk occurs between individual energy ranges in the low energy detector (4) and so the type of material can not be unambiguously detected. A second low energy detector (5) is added to absorb the same amount of high energy radiation as detector (4). A low energy signal free of high energy components can then be found by subtracting the signal of detector (5) from the signal of detector (4).
