Title: Treating bio-degradable waste material
Inventor: BUTTERWORTH WILLIAM RICHARD
IPC: C02F3/28
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: Apparatus for the treatment of bio-degradable waste material (3) comprises housing (1) defining chamber (2) for receiving the material and means (10, 11, 13) for agitating material (3) in chamber (2) by supplying gas generated from bio-degradation of the material into a lower part of the chamber.

Title: Voltage controlled oscillators
Inventor: LICHTERFELD STEFAN
IPC: H03B5/12
Filed: 1998-04-15
Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator based on the Colpitt's design is provided. An inductor Lc is provided in parallel to one Cs of a pair of series connected capacitors Cs, Cd. The presence of the inductor Lc modifies the impedance ratio of the pair of series connected capacitors Cs, Cd by introducing a frequency dependence. This frequency dependence mitigates frequency dependent losses in a tuned circuit Lr, Ct in the voltage controlled oscillator. The invention provides an enhanced output signal over the frequency range of operation of the voltage controlled oscillator. The invention also improves the modulation of the voltage controlled oscillator's output signal which can be achieved by a separate modulation circuit Cm, Rm, Vm. The oscillator may form part of a mobile radio receiver or mobile telephone.

Title: Water desalination
Inventor: GRAHAM WILLIAM
IPC: C02F1/44
Filed: 1996-12-13
Abstract: A desalination plant (10) is disclosed which includes a pump for pumping water at a pressure of between 50 and 65 Bar to a generally cylindrical filter element (30) which includes a plurality of reverse osmosis membranes defining salt passages. Immediately upstream of the filter element (30) there is a disc (40) with a plurality of holes (44) in it. The disc (40) forms an obstruction which causes a pressure drop between the upstream side thereof and the downstream side. It also divides the water flow into a series of separate streams which impinge on the end of the filter element and flow into the salt passages. The water downstream of the obstruction is not only at a lower pressure than the water upstream of the obstruction but also is flowing turbulently. The disc (40) and filter element (30) are in a cylindrical casing (12). The brine which emerges from the filter element, and which is still at a substantial pressure, can be fed through a device such as a Pelton wheel to recover some of the residual energy therefrom.

Title: Multilayer PCB manufacture with dielectric material matched to photo-resist material
Inventor: GRAVES JOHN E
IPC: H05K3/46
Filed: 1998-08-10
Abstract: A method for manufacture of multilayer printed circuit boards comprises the steps of: (a) applying a layer of a photoimageable composition onto a copper layer; (b) exposing and developing the photoimageable composition layer to provide a relief image (20) of the composition layer and bared areas of the copper layer; (c) removing bared copper layer areas produced in step (b) to define a copper circuit pattern (26) that is coated with the photoimageable composition relief image (20); and (d) laminating the circuit pattern with coated photoimageable composition with a prepreg dielectric layer (28) to produce a multilayer board. Enhanced adhesion is found between the bonded layers where components of the photoimageable composition are matched to the prepreg material. Thus, for example, enhanced bond strengths are achieved where a photoimageable composition that contains an epoxy resin is bonded to an epoxy based-prepreg material.
Patent GB-2333410-A (GB)
Title: Monitoring optical noise in a wavelength divison multiplexed system
Inventor: BRAUN DAVID M
IPC: H04B10/25
Filed: 1998-11-09
Abstract: An optical noise monitor (10) measures noise power within narrow wavelength regions between channel signals of a dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) signal 11. The noise monitor receives the DWDM signal and cascades the signal along a multipoint travel path where the signal is incident on a series of multi-pass filters. Each multi-pass filter selects a narrow, predefined wavelength region between channel signals of the DWDM signal. Noise power within the predefined wavelength region is detected and SNR is monitored by comparing the detected noise power to the power in the channel signal. The noise monitor may include multi-pass filters F1- F4 that each have reflective surfaces to guide optical signals within a predefined wavelength region through multiple passes of an optical filter. Alternatively, the noise monitor (20, Fig 3 not shown) includes multi-pass filters (F21-F24) each having a serial arrangement of multiple optical filters.

Title: An LCD with electroluminescent backlight
Inventor: FUKUSHIMA KENJI
IPC: G02F1/13357
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) device with a built-in electroluminescent body of the present invention includes a liquid crystal cell having an upper LCD substrate, a lower LCD substrate, and a liquid crystal layer formed between the upper LCD substrate and the lover LCD substrate by the injection of liquid crystal. An upper polarizer and a lower polarizer are respectively positioned on the top and the bottom of the liquid crystal cell. The electroluminescent body is arranged on the lower polarizer in the form of wirings for implementing back illumination. Dust and other impurities are prevented from penetrating the gap between an LCD and an EL (Electroluminescent Lamp) at the time of production. The lower polarizer plays the role of an EL substrate at the same time and thereby eliminates the need for an EL substrate and an affixing material. The LCD device can be produced by a minimum of steps.

Title: Decoding high definition TV signals for display as standard definition TV
Inventor: LIM IL-TAEK
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1999-02-11
Abstract: A video decoding device for a digital standard-definition TV (SDTV) receiver which separates the I and P pictures from the B pictures, 303, of a received high-definition TV (HDTV) signal (e.g. MPEG). Each of the separated signals are downsampled, both horizontally 301, and vertically 304a, 312, to SDTV requirements. By correlating adjacent image pixel values, 304c, 305, the number of bits, required for data storage in frame memory 306, is reduced so as to reduce the memory capacity requirements of the receiver and allow an SDTV receiver to derive standard-definition pictures from HDTV signals (fig.4). The downsampled pictures are converted, 304b, 313, into a display size and aspect ratio format matched to the output display screen.
Patent GB-2349715-A (GB)
Title: Quotation mechanism for service environments
Inventor: WEISS MICHAEL
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 1999-05-05
Abstract: The present invention provides a quotation mechanism for service environments where the service level is negotiated. A client makes a request for a type, quality or volume of service. The service provider provides a response in the form of a quote. A quote binds the service provider to providing a service at a specified price. The quote also contains parameters of type, quality, or volume of service that the service provider can provide at that price. The client, after evaluating the quote, can either accept or reject a quote. The client can also obtain quotes from multiple service providers and enter a service contract with the service provider of its choice. This choice will not be based solely on price, but also on the levels of service quoted, since the service provider might not be able to supply the service at the requested level. The embodiment disclosed relates to a computer selecting a printer which can print at acceptable quality and speed at acceptable cost.

The spray head (32) can also be swapped from one side of the carriage (34, 36) to the other for painting opposite side edge portions of the screen (20).
Patent GB-2353274-A (GB)
Title: A container assembly
Inventor: MALLAN LEE
IPC: B65D21/06
Filed: 1999-08-16
Abstract: A container assembly has a container 1 with a swing arm 8 which serves for stacking several containers or as a carrying handle. The swing arm has a flexible leg 9 carrying a boss 12 which is flexed in the direction of arrow A as the boss 12 is moved towards snap engagement with a socket 13 to form a trunnion. Prior to said snap engagement, an extension 15 of the leg 9 engages in slot 17 causing further flexure of the leg in the direction of arrow C opposite to that of the arrow A direction so that when the boss snap engages with the socket 13, the leg extension 15 is closely received in the slot 17 adjacent to a retaining wall 16 which restrains withdrawal of the boss 12 from the socket 13.
