Title: Computer system for converting dates at the turn of the century
Inventor: JOHNSON JACK D
IPC: G06F1/14
Filed: 1998-08-13
Abstract: A computer system includes a real time clock and a non-volatile memory that stores a current date and time from the real time clock. This date is proactively updated at the turn of the century by software running on the computer. This software looks for an Interrupt 08 signal and, in response, determines (502) whether the current date stored in the non-volatile memory is equal to December 31, 1999. If it is, the software determines (504) whether the current time is a predetermined amount of time (e.g., one or two seconds) before the end of the day. If both these criteria are met, the current date in the non-volatile memory is set (506) to January 1, 2000 and the current time is set to 00:00:00. The system may also handle other date changes, e.g. for leap years.
Patent GB-2328847-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for conditioning modulated signals for digital communications
Inventor: O'DEA ROBERT J
IPC: H04L27/20
Filed: 1997-04-02
Abstract: A digitally modulated signal is conditioned, such as to facilitate amplification. The digitally modulated signal is derived from an information signal (110, 115) which is mapped (120) onto a symbol constellation to generate a sequence of channel symbols (125). The sequence of channel symbols (125) is processed (410) to provide a conditioned signal (415) having a signal envelope that avoids signal envelope magnitudes below a threshold value (500). From a signal envelope representing the sequence of channel symbols, symbol interval minimum values are determined as the signal envelope transitions through successive channel symbols of the sequence (510). The conditioned signal (415) is represented by localized adjustment of the signal envelope, such as the insertion of an adjustment pulse, to increase a particular symbol interval minimum value, when that value is below the threshold value (520, 530, 540, 545, 555).

Filed: 1998-12-21
Abstract: A weatherbar 10 for sealing the gap between the bottom of a door or window etc. and the floor 16 comprises a sill having a drainage channel 50. The drainage channel 50 is defined by an inner wall 32 and an outer wall 49.

Title: Connecting terminal to power distribution block
Inventor: UMEMOTO HIROSHI
IPC: H01R9/24
Filed: 1999-07-30
Abstract: A terminal 16, 102 is connected to a busbar 14 of power distribution block 12 by pivoting the terminal through an aperture 26 in the body of the block. The terminal may be attached to a lever 20, for example by a tie (66 figure 2 not shown) formed integrally with the lever. The lever may have hinge finger 48 which engages a hinge 30 of the distribution block and may have latches 50 for engaging apertures 32 in the body to retain the lever in position once it has hinged the terminal into contact with the busbar. A spring contact 72 may grip the terminal and the busbar to ensure contact between them. Alternatively, a spring contact (78 figures 7, 8 not shown) may be mounted in the block adjacent the busbar for the same purpose. In an alternative embodiment, the lever is dispensed with and the terminal is formed with an extension 104 which engages an aperture in the busbar to pivot the terminal through the aperture 26 of the block.

Title: An editing method and system
Inventor: MCGRATH JOHN MARK
IPC: G11B27/02
Filed: 1999-09-08
Abstract: The present invention provides an editing system and method for editing source content such as video and/or audio material to produce an edited content sequence, source metadata being associated with portions of the source content. The system comprises storage for storing a template defining a desired style for content, template metadata being provided within the template to define the desired style, and a processing unit configured to apply the template to the source content by comparing the source metadata with the template metadata and to arrange the portions of source content in accordance with the comparison to produce the edited content sequence. This provides an efficient technique for providing an editor with a first cut in which the content has been arranged into a desired style, thereby avoiding the need for the user to spend time familiarising himself/herself with the content prior to performing editing of the source content. From this first cut, the user can then proceed to make any further alterations deemed appropriate.

Title: Method and device for inhalation of powdered medicament
Inventor: VILLAX PETER
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1995-01-31
Abstract: A new inhalation device, which during operation causes an aerosol to be formed inside a chamber such as a capsule (4) which occludes one end (3) of the inhalation tube (1), the capsule having holes at its extremities (7,8) which admit airflow. The airflow causes the powder contained inside the capsule to be surprisingly transported to the capsule extremity contrary to the direction of inhalation, that is towards the air entry holes in the capsule, and then to form an aerosol until all powder has been removed from the capsule or chamber through the tube (1), the duration of inhalation being chiefly regulated by the size and proportion of the capsule holes. The tube (1) has air inlets downstream of the capsule to permit a balanced airflow that will transport the finely suspended powder into the lungs, maximizing the fraction of medicament deposited therein. <IMAGE>

Title: Device and method for recognizing character and image
Inventor: SAITO KAZUYUKI
IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 1996-01-24
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recognize a character existent in an area surrounded by ruled lines contained in an original image having plural kinds of formats by identifying the constitution of this area contained in the original image. SOLUTION: From format information showing the constitution of items of the original image stored in a ROM 16, a CPU 105 classifies the the constitution of items of that original image and performs item identifying processing for identifying the items consisting of that original image. Then, the ROM 106 previously stores a data base in the direction of composition corresponding to the value of an item identification ID and since the CPU 105 compares this stored data with the item identification ID for the item of a processing object, the composition direction of text data existent in the respective items is set. According to the set order of processing, characters corresponding to the text data existent in the respective items are recognized.  Thus, the character recognizing processing order for plural kinds of formats is made excat and in the case of reading the image through a scanner, etc., the deviation of items can be dealt with.

Title: Magnetic recording medium
Inventor: FUKAYA TOSHIO
IPC: G11B5/73
Filed: 1988-01-20
Abstract: PURPOSE:To easily detect the unequal thickness at the time of coating, to prevent electrostatic charge and to assure the adhesiveness to a substrate by specifying the light transmittance of a magnetic layer at 350-1,000nm to <=10%, the light transmittance of a back coat layer at 800-950nm to <=10% and the specific surface resistance value of the back layer to <=10<7>OMEGA. CONSTITUTION:At least one face of the substrate has an easily adherable sur face and the magnetic layer having >=10% transmittance of light of 350-1,000nm wavelength is formed on this easily adherable surface. The back layer which has <=10<7>OMEGA resistance value and has <=10% transmittance of light of 800-950nm is formed on the surface on the opposite side thereof. The unequal thickness in longitudinal and transverse directions can, therefore, be instantaneously checked in the visual inspection by transmission of the light at the time of coating. The magnetic layer which has the decreased unequal thickness, has the high packing density of magnetic powder and has the good adhesiveness is thereby formed and, therefore, the high-density recording with good magnetic recording and reproducing characteristics is attained.
