Patent GB-2344247-B (GB)
Title: Sensor system
Inventor: MARSHALL GILLIAN FIONA
IPC: H04N5/374
Filed: 1998-09-23
Granted: 2002-08-07
Abstract: The invention provides a sensor system (800) for generating a sensor signal (Sout) corresponding to a filtered image of a scene. The system (800) incorporates a multielement array (526) and associated processing circuits for providing element signals in response to images projected onto it and a projecting lens assembly (502) for projecting images onto the array (526). The lens assembly (502) projects differently blurred images of the scene onto the array (526) for generating a measurement signal during a measurement phase and a local spatial average correction signal during a calibration phase. A light-diffusing shutter (522) is used for generating the differently blurred images. The system (800) substracts the measurement and correction signals of each element from one another to provide a difference signal and uses this signal to generate the sensor signal (Sout) during the measurement phase. The calibration phase is repeated on change of array temperature or incident radiation intensity, thereby reducing fixed pattern noise in the sensor signal (Sout) despite environmental change, and interrupting the measurement phase only infrequently.

Granted: 2004-04-28
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed which enable devices communicatively coupled to a communication network to each have a relational context that specifies how such device relates to other devices within the communication network. For example, a device may include a relational context that specifies how its operational capabilities measure up to the operational capabilities of other devices within the communication network. In one embodiment, a server is communicatively coupled to a communication network, and aggregate context information specifying operational parameters available via the communication network is communicatively accessible by the server. A network device is communicatively coupled to the communication network and includes operational specification information specifying individual operational parameters thereof stored locally thereto. The device further includes relational context information stored locally thereto, which specifies the relation of its individual operational parameters to the aggregate of operational parameters available via the communication network.

Granted: 2008-07-30
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are concerned with improving the amount of information that is available to a user of a mobile terminal when deciding whether or not to access data from a remote device such as a web site.  The mobile terminal is equipped with a bespoke software application and user interface that enables the user to select items (or types of items) that are accessible from a selected web site, and provide a means of excluding the selected items from data subsequently downloaded to the mobile terminal. The selection process can be dependent upon the amount of data to be downloaded, the number of nested links, ratings applied to the data, and other such characteristics.

Abstract: A cable fixing element 1 comprises a moulded core 2 into which fits a generally U-shaped resilient metal member 7 having two lateral projections 14, 14' which engage an end of a hook connected to a control lever. This engagement obstructs transverse movement between the hook and tines or arms 5, 5' of the core 2, thereby preventing noise and vibration. The metal member 7 is inserted laterally into a recess defined by arms 5, 5' and is automatically locked in position by resilient tabs 12, 12', cooperating with channels (13, 13', fig 3), and projections 10, 10', 11, 11'. These projections 10, 10', 11, 11' also act as stops while assembling the core 2 and member 7. The hook of the control lever is fastened to shaft 6 and an end of the cable may be attached to the metal member 7 and received in recess 4. The metal member 7 may be stamped from metal sheet of a grade which ensures a certain degree of resilience.

Title: Low pressure, non-barrier type dispensing can for dispensing liquids
Inventor: DIAMOND GEORGE B
IPC: B05B11/04
Filed: 1993-05-26
Abstract: A low pressure aerosol dispensing can which is distinguished from existing high pressure aerosol dispensing cans. The generally cylindrical can has a thin wall thickness, like that of a carbonated beverage can, which can be distorted by finger pressure but whose shape is maintained by internal gas pressure. The liquid contents to be dispensed and the propellant gas are mixed in the can. The dispensing valve at the top of the can dispenses the liquid contents and propellant in a controlled manner. The valve may include an additional narrow bore vapor tap between the gaseous propellant head space in the can and the valve chamber for delivering extra gas for atomizing the liquid and propelling it from the nozzle. The gas pressure in the can is coordinated with the can wall and bottom thickness so that the can will have sufficient distortion resistance and burst resistance at elevated temperature. Yet the can has side walls of a thickness low enough to permit the can to be easily crushed by hand pressure when the can is empty.
