Title: Matrix array bistable device addressing
Inventor: JONES JOHN CLIFFORD
IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 1997-06-20
Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal display comprises a matrix of pixels addressable by first and second sets of electrode tracks 5, 6 crossing one another at the locations of the pixels. The pixels are addressed by applying data pulses 23, 24 to the first set of electrode tracks 5 and strobe pulses 22 to the second set of electrode tracks 6 to switch certain pixels selected by the data pulses 23, 24 from a first state to a second state under the effect of the voltage difference between the data pulses 23, 24 and the strobe pulses 22, and blanking pulses 19 are applied to the second set of electrode tracks 6 to set the pixels to the first state in advance of the application of subsequent strobe pulses 22 to switch selected pixels from the first state to the second state. Each blanking pulse 19 includes a blanking portion 20 of one polarity adapted to switch the pixels to a fully switched region of the first state and a trailing portion 21 of the opposite polarity adapted to assist relaxation of the pixels from the fully switched region of the first state to a relaxed region of the first state from which rapid switching of pixels to the second state is possible during application of a subsequent strobe pulse 22.
Patent GB-2320685-A (GB)
Title: Spine board
Inventor: BOLOGOVSKY MICHAEL THOMAS
IPC: A61G1/00
Filed: 1997-12-24
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a spine board having internal stiffening elements (50) mechanically connected to an outer shell (12) via a number of speed pins (40). A quantity of urethane foam (30) fills the spaces between the stiffening elements and the shell. The speed pins permit the rotational moulding of the shell about a pair of graphite reinforcing tubes (50), which better distributes the loads to be born among the outer shell(12), urethane filler, and stiffening elements, thereby increasing the life span of the board.

Title: Vibration damping apparatus
Inventor: PEAN THOMAS
IPC: F16F13/08
Filed: 1998-01-22
Abstract: An engine mount for damping vibrations between a rigid armature (16) and a rigid cover member (10) comprises a thick conically shaped rubber wall (18) integrally moulded with a thin flexible wall (26). The rubber is bonded to a rigid metal peripheral member (24) defining a channel (30,30A). A plate (32) fixed to the cover (10) closes off the hollow spaces under the walls (18,26) to define working and compensation chambers connected by the channel (30,30A). The chambers and the communicating channel are filled with liquid. The peripheral member (24) defines a slot (40) having apertures connecting it respectively to the working and compensation chambers (36,38). A thin flexible rubber valve member (46) is located in the slot (40) with clearance, and oscillates in the slot in response to pressure fluctuations in the liquid in the working chamber (36) caused by low amplitude vibrations and transmits these fluctuations to the liquid in the compensation chamber. However, the valve member (40) is held stationary in response to larger amplitude vibrations and forces the oscillating liquid to flow through the communicating channel (30,30A).

Title: Method for determining the fill time of a transmission clutch
Inventor: MITCHELL RANDALL M
IPC: F16H59/46
Filed: 1996-02-26
Abstract: In an automatic transmission which includes a torque converter and a planetary transmission with both direction and speed friction devices (clutches/brakes), the time at which a fluid-operated direction friction device substantially fills with fluid during a shift in which one direction friction device is off-going and another is on-coming is determined by monitoring the input and output speeds of the torque converter. The speed ratio of the torque converter is calculated and compared a reference value. It is determined-that the on-coming direction friction device has filled when the torque converter speed ratio increases relative to the reference value. Also described is a method of determining the filling of a speed clutch by comparing the transmission output speed with an intermediate transmission speed.

Patent GB-2349699-A (GB)
Title: Optimum sail setting indicator using pressure sensors
Inventor: SMITH TREVOR
IPC: B63B49/00
Filed: 1999-03-15
Abstract: The 'Max- Drive' is a calibrated instrument designed to optimise the performance of a sail by calculating the differential pressure across the sail. The output is read from a scaled metre showing the said measured pressure differential, identifying optimum sail performance, to which the sail can be trimmed manually. The sensors are fixed to the sail and send a signal to a unit, the magnitude of which depends on the pressures detected. The unit then analyses the signals and sends to the metre translated signals to allow the metre to show the appropriate information. Since the power supply on vessels can vary, 'Max-Drive' has been designed to function independently or using an onboard power supply.
Patent GB-2349485-A (GB)
Title: Applying software patches across multi-platform systems
Inventor: JOHNSON ANDREW
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: A method for applying software patches across multi-platform systems in which a program code module, such as a dynamic link library (DLL) module loader, is used to apply the patch at load-time by the operating system itself. The method comprises: loading a module into memory; locating specified operation code within the module; selecting a DLL patch for the operation code; and modifying the operation code with the patch according to DLL methods. The operating system uses the dynamic module loader to patch operational code into the application to optimise the application for that operating system and platform. The operation code is pointed to by a module header fix up location pointer, and all the application program has to do is ensure that the appropriate DLL exporting the correct instruction sequence is installed. The advantages are: i) that it reduces the need to create a different application for each platform and operating system combination; ii) that the code remains non-writable and cannot be corrupted; iii) there is no call-return overhead; and vi) that execution is faster in the single processor example, as the only overhead is one NOP instruction.

Title: Adjusting a newly assembled brake system in a motor vehicle
Inventor: BASNETT MICHAEL NEIL
IPC: B60T7/10
Filed: 1999-07-15
Abstract: In a newly assembled brake system comprising a master cylinder 2 coupled to brake cylinders 3 through a pipe network 4, any slack in the system is eliminated upon application of a single pulse or a sequence of pressure pulses from a pressurisation mechanism 5 under the control of a controller 6 through the master cylinder 2 and the pipe network 4 to the brake cylinders 3, and the brake cylinders are retained in their adjusted configuration. Thus, a handbrake can be adjusted following adjustment of the brake cylinders 3, and it is unnecessary for an operative to provide a one-off or repeated pumping of the brake pedal to effect initial brake adjustment. The pressurisation means can supply compressed air or other gas, or hydraulic fluid, and, for adjustment, hydraulic fluid and/or compressed air may be contained in the brake system.
