Title: System and method for data acquisition and processing
Filed: 2006-10-06
Abstract: A system and method for data acquisition and processing is described which can form the basis of new and improved business and consumer services. A subscriber captures the image of an encoded datagram associated with a product or service using a mobile phone or PDA or fixed line device and transmits this to a remote data processing centre. The captured datagram may comprise a variety of geometric shapes and language characters and even some custom graphics which may be processed in relation to a subscriber's profile stored in the device. The profile is used to provide different levels of quality of service and authentication for access to services in accordance with the subscriber's access rights. The destination IP address or mobile number used to access the service is encoded within the datagram itself so the subscriber need only 'point and click' and the software application can both identify, decode and direct a newly compiled data message to a known destination. In this way a variety of datagrams may be created, each comprising their own unique destination mobile number or IP address where each may be associated with very unique data services or system control services. Communication with a specific data processing centre may be via fixed line ADSL or via 3G services or GPRS or WIMAX or Wireless USB or be converted into an SMS text message. The remote server processes the captured data and either provides information back to the sender of the information or to their email address or initiates a process. Applications include data services, process control such as car park barriers, secure software purchasing such as ordering games from magazines where the software is forwarded to a known email address. Other applications include timetable updates for travel guides, or on advertisements, or in technical journals, or on food constituent labels, so that the data can be compared with current source data and dynamically updated as required to thereby replace or enhance the published information. This invention provides a powerful dimension to search engine companies bringing retail markets and consumer interest closer together through simplified intelligent messaging.

Patent GB-8920902-D0 (GB)
Title: Friction welding
IPC: B23K20/12
Filed: 1989-09-15
Abstract: A friction welder has a reciprocator (1) with two chambers (7 and 8) each containing hydraulic fluid and separated by a dividing wall (6). A piston (14) on a driven rod (13) is slidable in a hole in the dividing wall and supports a carrier (28) to which a first component (36) is secured. Tow additional rods (9 and 10) extend through the chambers. Enlarged portions (11) thereof extend through holes in end walls (4 and 5) of the chambers. The additional rods are caused to reciprocate with fixed amplitude by Scotch cranks (23 to 26, and 31) driven by a motor (30). The relative phases of the Scotch cranks can be varied by axial movement of a sleeve (35) which engages splined shafts of the cranks, one of sets of splines (35) being helical and the other straight. When the additional rods reciprocate in unison they cause local variations in the interior space of the chambers which cause reciprocation of the piston. The amplitude of reciprocation of the piston is less than that of the additional rods but the force exerted is greater. The first component is held in frictional contact with a stationery second component (37) so that frictional heat is generated between them. When the cranks are 180 DEG  out of phase the piston ceases to move and the components become welded together. Reciprocation of the piston and associated parts is balanced by a balancer (2) somewhat similar to the reciprocator, while reciprocation of the additional rods and their extensions (16 and 17) in the balancer are balanced by pivoted counterweight (46).

Title: Apparatus and method for selectively controlling clocking and resetting of a network interface
IPC: G06F1/12
Filed: 1998-05-14
Abstract: A network interface for a workstation, configured to be powered down to a standby mode while the network interface remains in a powered-up condition, includes a bypass circuit configured to enable configuration registers in the network interface to complete loading of configuration information in a known state, regardless of an absence of an external data clock from the network during the initialization interval. The bypass circuit ensures that the configuration registers in the network interface that require a network clock (e.g., a transmit clock or a receive clock) are maintained in a known state to enable the network interface to be independently initialized. One example of the bypass circuit holds a power on reset signal until the necessary network clock signal is detected for a predetermined number of detected clock cycles. Another example of the bypass circuit substitutes the absent clock signal with an independent clock source in response to the power on reset signal and holds the power on reset signal for a predetermined number of independent clock cycles, followed by switching back to the signal path providing the required clock signal. The disclosed arrangement enables the network interface device to initialize upon power up and start to monitor network media for wakeup traffic indicating the host computer in the workstation should be activated.
