Patent GB-2333623-A (GB)
Title: Transaction system
Inventor: MCDONALD NEIL ANDREW
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 1998-01-24
Abstract: A method of operating a transaction system is provided to select one token from a plurality of contactless tokens. A terminal provides power to the tokens by transmission of a radio frequency carrier over an inductive coupling. On receiving a signal from the terminal the tokens generate respective random identifiers. After the tokens have received a command (30) from the terminal, they send return signals (34, 36) to the terminal. Each return signal is sent after a time period which depends on the value of the identifier of that token. When the terminal receives a return signal, it immediately sends an interrupt signal to the tokens which de-activates those which have not yet sent a return signal. Selection continues from among those tokens which did send return signals.

Patent GB-191111851-A (GB)
IPC: G01N7/04
Abstract: 11,851. Mertens, A. May 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Gas analysis.-An automatic gas analyser which gives the mean proportion of one more constituents of a gas mixture during a number of operations, has the actuating-liquid contained in a closed vessel h to which the unabsorbed gas is returned, and the diminution of pressure caused by the absorption compensated for by the flow of liquid from a Mariotte's bottle j. The bottle j and the vessel h are graduated so as to give the proportion of gas absorbed. Liquid passes through a pipe i to a tank d, which is automatically emptied by a siphon g so as to be filled with gas from the flue a. This gas is forced through the liquid in the vessel f, which absorbs the carbonic acid, and the unabsorbed gas is returned to the vessel h by a pipe k. It is necessary in some cases that the rapidity of working of the apparatus should be controlled by the draught in the flue a. For this purpose, the liquid is supplied to a constant-level tank m, and flows therefrom through a pipe p opening into a chamber q in communication with the flue so that the rate of flow of the liquid is proportioned to the draught therein. A vessel l<1> in communication with the vessel h may be added to compensate for liquid wasted during the operations.
