Patent GB-2390508-A (GB)
Title: Variable frequency tag and interogation system
Inventor: FORSTER IAN JAMES
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: A variable frequency tag, receiving an interrogating signal, generates a corresponding response including a signature code for identifying the tag, where a clock controls the rate at which the code is output in relation to the magnitude of the received signal. The clock may use two oscillators , one for clocking the processor and one for controlling the frequency of identification code output. A power supply which derives a potential difference from the received signal may be coupled to the interface by a piezo-electric transformer. The transformer may include a mutli-layer primary and secondary region, and be coupled to limiting means, such as a Zener diode arrangement to prevent over-voltage damage. The antenna reflectivity may be modulated depending upon the tag power consumption. The incoming signal may be used to provide a master clock and the clocking may be linear, logarithmic or stepped proportional to the potential difference. An interrogation device radiates a signal to the device and filters the response message to isolate signal spectral components from each of the tags and thus identify the individual tags.

Title: An adjustable drawer front fixing device
Inventor: SHENTON NIGEL PHILIP
IPC: A47B88/00
Filed: 2003-05-09
Abstract: A fixing device 10 for attaching a drawer front to a drawer side comprises a first member 12 attached to the back of the drawer, a second member 20 connected to and axially adjustable relative to the first member and a clamping means (42 figure 2) adapted to engage a downwardly opening aperture in the drawer side, for clamping the drawer front to an end of the drawer side. The clamping means may be an eccentric pin whereby the first part (44 figure 2) of the eccentric pin passes through an aperture 40 in the second member and a second part (54 figure 2)of the eccentric pin fits into a downwardly opening aperture in the drawer side. Rotation of the eccentric pin causes the drawer front to be clamped against an end of the drawer side. The first and second members may have co-operating guide means 30 and (32 figure 1a) which guide the relative axial movement of the first and second members. Rotation of a threaded screw 36 allows relative axial movement of the first and second members and thereby ensure that the drawer fronts are aligned parallel and evenly spaced apart with one-another.
