Title: Resonant ultrasonic tool generator system
Inventor: YOUNG MICHAEL JOHN RADLEY
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2004-07-20
Abstract: The system is used to drive a torsionally-vibrating ultrasonic surgical tool. A control circuit monitors drive current flow in the tool by way of a feedback signal representing AC current flow in an output transistor 5 or Q3. Positive components of this AC feedback signal represent forward current to the tool, negative components represent reactive current due to an impedance mismatch at the tool. Dips or local minima in the feedback signal are identified by a numerical differentiation process to locate resonant frequencies during a frequency-scanning step. The control circuit also monitors the feedback signal for indications of an "end-of operation" condition.

Title: Adjustable collar
Inventor: KATO KOJI
IPC: A41B1/10
Filed: 2004-11-04
Abstract: An adjustable collar 3 for a shirt 1 comprises first and second buttonholes 5, 6. The top button 4 of the shirt protrudes through the second buttonhole 6, and is able to move in a lateral direction to adjust the size of the collar.

IPC: H04M1/72502
Filed: 2005-01-27
Abstract: A wireless communication module 24 contains a SIM card or other means 26 enabling access to a wireless network, together with a simulator 26 of the functionality of an analogue wired system, e.g. a dial tone and ring generator. Dial tones or pulses produced by a fixed line handset 20 are detected by the device and the wireless module 24 places the call via the wireless network. In a building with a wired local network, the module 26 could be inserted, thereby connecting with existing handsets without the need for further modification. The wireless module 30 comprises either an integral wireless network access arrangement or a connection to a mobile phone handset. This could be a socket for placement of the mobile phone, where it could also be re-charged. The wireless network may be digital telephony, WiFi or WIMAX. The latter offer data transfer, but also voice calls can be handled as VOIP. Thus data rates equivalent to DSL or cable can be achieved, without retaining a fixed line.

Title: Messaging and information system for unanswered calls
Inventor: SAGE MARK
IPC: H04M1/72451
Filed: 2005-02-21
Abstract: A messaging and information system in which a called party who does not wish to take a call on a user terminal can send a message to a calling party, and set up a reminder in the user terminal to remind him to call the calling party back. The content of the message and the reminder is linked, so that the time delay associated with an alarm on the reminder corresponding to this message can be arranged to be a time mentioned in the message. The telephone number of the calling party is associated with the reminder in the calendar, so that the called party can easily contact the calling party. The message selection may be performed manually by the called party on receipt of an incoming call, where the user is presented with a number of message options, from which a message can be selected by pressing a key. Alternatively the message selection may be performed automatically when the user terminal is in a certain mode. Furthermore, it is possible to send a message automatically to a calling party whose number is stored in a certain group in the memory of the user terminal (or on the network). In this way the message content or style can be tailored to different groups of people. Furthermore, the system can be set up so that no reminder messages are set up for certain types of caller, or so that a counter corresponding to the number of times the caller has tried to contact the user is incremented.

Abstract: A display has both dual view and single view modes. Firstly, it comprises a spatial light modulator (SLM), displaying multiplexed images to different viewing regions or single, large view image, an input polariser and a backlight having electronically switched, alternately spaced, regions. In one mode, only first backlight regions emit light of a polarisation that may be passed by the polariser; in a second mode, all backlight regions emit light of that polarisation. Alternatively, a two mode multi view vehicle display shows content to a driver and passenger (Figure 11); a sensor detects the driver and/or passenger, displaying only a single view when the driver is present but passenger absent. Further, the system displays N spatially multiplexed images in a cyclically repeating set of N time frames such that each pixel displays an image pixel of each ith image of each time frame, where 1  &  i  &  N. A display is disclosed having SLM regions for modulating light of different wavelengths, and a backlight illuminating in non overlapping wavelength ranges.

Title: Variable gain low noise amplifier
Inventor: LOMAS DAVID
IPC: H03G1/00
Filed: 2006-03-30
Abstract: A commonly used variable gain low noise amplifier (lna) works as a simple cascaded differential pair. In this invention the second cascade output is crossed over to the output node of opposite polarity rather than connected to the supply. The cascade voltages cancel each other out and this can be used to further control the amplifier performance. An additional variable tail current source may be used to add dc tail current for lower gain modes. This increases the IP1dB by decreasing the modulation depth in the input transistor pairs. Attenuation and gain ranging from -10dB to +20dB can be achieved.

IPC: G01N27/16
Filed: 2006-05-02
Abstract: A circuit arrangement with at least one catalytic measuring element 1, wherein the at least one catalytic measuring element 1 is connected to the supply voltage without a series resistor and without an upstream thermal fuse. The at least one catalytic measuring element is dimensioned in such a way that its resistance, whilst representing a temperature-dependent variable, varies within limits which at all times ensure sufficient limitation of the current and thus enable an effective prevention of a spark ignition in potentially explosive surroundings. This circuit arrangement makes it possible to develop gas-measuring devices with catalytic measuring elements which are distinguished by a particularly low energy requirement.

Abstract: A method of transmitting a message via a mobile telecommunications network from a sender's device to a user's terminal where the user is required to acknowledge message receipt in a predetermined way and authenticate himself by providing authentication data that is centrally authenticated, where an acknowledgement message is subsequently transmitted to the message sender and where at least a portion of the text message is encrypted by the sender's device before transmission and decrypted by the receiving terminal before display and where encryption data used for encryption and decryption of the message, is transmitted with the encrypted message. The message may be a text message, SMS, USSD, MMS and further security may be obtained by use of public/private key pairs wherein the public key is valid only for a certain number of text messages. The method may employ transaction reference counters in the devices to provide extra security and may also arrange for deletion of a received message after a set time.
