Title: Underwater structure leveled using screw jacks
Inventor: BELL HUGH MALCOLM IAN
IPC: E02B17/02
Filed: 2008-03-25
Abstract: A template 110 is installed in a watercourse by a remotely controlled attachment and leveling machine 130 which is connected to the template 110. The machine 130 uses leveling pins (screw jacks) 60 which abut the river or sea bed 64, to level the template 110.

Title: Remote security enablement of a trusted platform module (TPM)
Inventor: WANG LAN
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2005-09-08
Abstract: A system for remote security enablement comprises a trusted platform module (TPM) disposed on a user client, and an administration client adapted to access the user client via a communication network to cause enablement of the TPM on a subsequent boot of the user client. A TPM enablement module disposed on the user client causes said enablement on a subsequent boot in response to a TPM enablement request received from the administration client, and also applies a policy setting set forth by the administration client for notifying a user of the user client of enablement of the TPM on the subsequent boot. The TPM enablement module may display a prompt notifying the user of the TPM enablement, and may request an indication of acceptance or rejection of TPM enablement. The user client may also indicate an ownership state of the TPM to the administration client and enable ownership by the administration client.

Title: Online transaction authentication using two servers
Inventor: WISEMAN NICK
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2008-04-28
Abstract: Secure online transactions involving two independently controlled web servers. In order to complete a transaction, a user interacts with each of the two web servers. Each of the two web servers provide data which is used to complete the transaction and the data provided by the first web server is communicated directly to the second web server for use in the transaction. Authentication may occur concurrently between the user and each web server and between web servers. The first web server may provide a web page which enables a user to specify a variable which is used in the payment transaction. This is communicated to the second web server which processes the transaction along with an identifier for the message. The identifier may be used in validating the variable before it is used in processing the transaction. Following completion of a transaction this may be reported in real time to the first web server using window to window data transfer. The pages provided by the respective internet servers may be provided within two separate frames of a browser.

Such a radiation source comprises an electron gun 102, a pair of targets 108 Interchangeably locatable In the path 146 of a beam produced by the electron gun, one target of the pair being of a material with a lower atomic number than the other, and an electron filter 118 insertable Into and withdrawable from the path of the beam. In a preferred form, the electron gun is within a vacuum chamber 100, and the pair of targets are located at a boundary of the vacuum chamber. The lower atomic number target can be Nickel and the higher atomic number target Copper and/or Tungsten. The electron filter can be Carbon, and can be located within the primary collimator 114, or within one of a plurality of primary collimators interchangeably locatable in the path of the beam. Such a radiation source can be included within a radiotherapy apparatus, to which the present invention further relates. A flat panel imaging device for this source can be optimised for low energy x-rays rather than high energy; Caesium Iodide-based panels are therefore suitable.

Title: Superheterodyne seismic vibrator pair
Inventor: SCOTT GARY LEE
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2008-09-26
Abstract: A low-frequency seismic energy source includes two relatively high-frequency acoustic radiators 12, 14 operatively coupled to a non-linear medium 20 proximate an upper limit 18 of the Earth's subsurface (on land or in - or on the bottom of - a body of water). These transmitters, which may comprise piezoelectric or magnetostrictive devices, convert electrical energy directly into acoustic energy. First and second frequencies of the respective acoustic radiators exceed a propagation frequency of the non-linear medium (e.g. about 10 KHz); and are selected such that a superheterodyne frequency - resulting from the frequency difference operating in the non-linear medium - is swept through a range capable of propagating through the Earth's subsurface to an acoustic impedance boundary 24 (e.g. 0 - 200 Hz). Acoustic coupling between the acoustic radiators and the 'weathered layer' may be improved by connecting them to a hard material, e.g. concrete, (Fig. 2, 34) in a borehole (32).

Title: Liquid crystal display and method for controlling the same
Inventor: SONG HONGSUNG
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 2008-11-05
Abstract: A liquid crystal display and a method of driving the same are disclosed. The liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal display panel (10) including data lines (D1-Dm) and gate lines (G1-Gn) crossing each other and a plurality of liquid crystal cells formed at the crossings of the gate and data lines, a timing control signal generating unit (11), a data drive circuit (12) supplying a data voltage to the data lines, and a gate drive circuit (13). The timing control signal generating unit (11) generates a first gate timing control signal for controlling a scan direction of the liquid crystal display panel (10) in a sequential direction and a second gate timing control signal for controlling the scan direction in a reverse sequential direction. The gate drive circuit (13) supplies a gate pulse to the gate lines while a shift direction of the gate pulse changes in response to the first and second gate timing control signals. This driving method suppresses the polarization of impurity ions inside the liquid crystal layer and as a result prevents stains appearing on the display.

Title: Improvements relating to road traffic controlling electric signalling systems
IPC: G08G1/08
Filed: 1943-06-25
Abstract: 565,970. Road-traffic signals. SIEMENS & GENERAL ELECTRIC RAILWAY SIGNAL CO., Ltd., and RIDDLE, H. J. N. June 25, 1943, No. 10301. [Class 118 (ii)] In a vehicleactuated road traffic signalling system there is provided a timing arrangement which, on right-ofway being granted to a traffic lane in response to a demand during the time when right-of-way was barred, is adapted to operate to determine the giving of a minimum right - of - way period compounded of a period which is independent of the traffic that has demanded right-of-way and of a variable period which is a function of the extent of said traffic. As shown, the timing condenser QA is in series with two condensers QMB, QMA in parallel with one another. The impulsing relay A, which controls the charging of QMB, is operated by each vehicle passing over the pad contact RD ; on the first vehicle passing over the pad, the upper portion of relay D operates and locks over the lower portion to retain QMA in parallel with QMB during the passage of subsequent vehicles. On release of relay A at the termination of each impulse, condenser QMB discharges rapidly through resistance ZC and contacts a<3>. On a fresh impulse, QMB-now discharged-is again connected to the charging circuit and QMA shares its charge with QMB simultaneously with the flow of charging current through QMB and QA. This is repeated for every impulse so that the charge in QA is gradually built up by ever-decreasing amounts.
