Inventor: GRIFFITH JOHN DALTON
IPC: D03D19/00
Filed: 2005-05-20
Abstract: A leno weaving mechanism on a loom comprises: a row of side-by-side ground thread blades 28 defining guide spaces 30 between them for ground threads 12; a row of leno guide thread blades 34 located in the guide spaces 30 which divide each guide space into two slots 36,38 communicating through a crossover space 44; and a support 24 for the ground thread and leno guide blades which is pivotable in one direction to effect relative movement of the ground threads 12 along a first of the pair of slots 36,38 into the crossover space 44 and pivotable in the opposite direction to cause relative movement of the ground threads 12 away from the crossover space 44 along the second slot. A ground thread deflection means in the form of a reciprocation bar [46, Figure 4] having guide eyes [48, Figure 4] may be used to guide the ground threads 12 laterally from one side a respective leno guide blade 34 to the other.

Title: System for creating and displaying forms in a graphical user interface
Inventor: SVAROVSKY GEORGE
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2005-01-31
Abstract: An extract of Chinese blackberry (Rubus suavissimus) has been found to inhibit angiogenesis, and two active fractions isolated. Gallic acid was shown to be one of the active anti-angiogenic compounds by an in vitro human angiogenesis model. Aqueous extracts from other plants either known or found to have gallic acid were also found to have anti-angiogenic activity. Various derivatives of gallic acid were found to inhibit angiogenesis. The extract from Chinese blackberry also slowed the growth of a pancreatic tumor and of corneal neovascularization in rats. Extracts from pomegranate were shown to inhibit angiogenesis in fat tissue. Extracts from Rubus spp, and other plants with gallic acid, and gallic acid and its derivatives will be useful for treating various diseases associated with neovascularization, including diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis, tumors, obesity, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
Patent GB-2416245-A (GB)
Title: Imaging Device
Inventor: BARTON ERIC J
IPC: H01L31/0376
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: An imaging device such as a CMOS image sensor 300 has a cover 240 attached to a standoff 320 surrounding a micro-lens array 210. Standard wafer processing fabricates the standoff 320 e.g., out of photoresist and attaches the cover 240. The standoff 320 maintains a gap over the micro-lenses 130. An adhesive attaches the cover 240 to the standoff 320 and is kept away from the micro-lenses 130 by a barrier 330 having a structure similar to the standoff 320. Particles in the adhesive can prevent the adhesive from squeezing out from between the cover 240 and the standoff 320 during attachment. The standoff 320 can provide a vent (522, figure 5) to prevent pressure in the gap from causing distortion or damage. The shape of the vent 522 can prevent particles from entering the gap. Cutting the attached cover 240 exposes electrical connections and can use preformed grooves (720, figure 7) in the cover 240 to allow cutting of the cover 240 without damaging underlying circuit elements.

Title: Assigning time-frequency codes in MB-OFDM on the basis of channel information and data rate
Inventor: SIEW JIUN
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 2006-01-05
Abstract: In Multi-band OFDM an UWB spectrum is divided into several band groups (32, Fig. 3a), and each band group into several bands (34, Fig. 3a). For each band group a time-frequency code (TFC) defines the time sequence of bands used for successive symbols, i.e. it defines how frequency hopping should be performed (see Fig. 3b). Each piconet can be assigned a different TFC. The present invention sets out a method of assigning TFCs based on channel information and data rate. Preferably the channel information is the length of the channel's excess delay, L, and this is compared with the length of a symbol's cyclic extension, Q, or the length of zero padding. When L is less than Q a TFC which uses the same band in consecutive slots may be employed without interference. However when L is greater than Q such a TFC may only be used if the data rate exceeds a threshold rate.

Title: Bottom hinged plate wave energy converter with floats to increase rotational stiffness
Inventor: CHAPLIN ROBERT VALENTINE
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2008-06-20
Abstract: A wave energy converter of the bottom-hinged plate type has at least one buoyancy body 101 rigidly connected fore or aft of the collector plate 103. This increases the effective stiffness of the plate by increased rotational restoring torque (201 figure 2) and decreases rotational inertia as the float displaces some of the undisturbed water (301, figure 3) around the collector plate 103 that would increase the effective mass of the plate 103. This allows larger devices to be built with desirable resonance properties. The float(s) are positioned at or near the undisturbed water surface 109 and may be held by connectors 107, which may be adjustable to control the dynamic characteristics of the device and optimise power extraction.
