Patent NO-984864-D0 (NO)
Inventor: LARSSON ROLF
IPC: F41F3/055
Filed: 1998-10-16
Abstract: A method for contactless inductive transmission of programming data to a programmable time fuse included in a shell for a single shot, semi-automatic, or fully automatic shell firing barrel weapon. While the shell is situated in a cartridge chamber of a barrel of the weapon, data is transmitted to the programmable time fuse from a programming device of the weapon via a transmitting coil arranged around the cartridge chamber of the barrel to a receiving coil arranged in the shell. At least a part of the barrel lying between the coils is replaced by a non-magnetic material and designed so that it does not form an electrically conductive short circuited layer that would prevent transmission between the coils.
Patent NO-993971-D0 (NO)
Inventor: SEMB OLE-FREDRIK
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 1999-08-17
Abstract: System for controlling seismic arrays comprising at least one deflector coupled to one side of the towing vessel through at least one wire, lead-in or similar, the detector being positioned at a distance perpendicular to the vessel's direction of movement, the vessel being provided with a navigation system for measuring the position of the vessel. The vessel comprises calculation means for, on the basis of the vessel's position, calculating deviations in vessel's position from a predetermined path. The wire is coupled to the vessel through control organs, e.g. a winch, adapted to vary the wire length from the vessel to the deflector. The control organs are coupled to the calculation means for adjusting the wire length based on the deviations in the position of the towing vessel, thus to avoid corresponding deviations in the movements of the deflector.

Title: Bistable liquid crystal devices
IPC: G02F1/13357
Filed: 2000-07-15
Abstract: In a liquid crystal device a substrate (1) favors at least two stable or metastable differently directed liquid crystal alignments, and switching means for causing the liquid crystal material to switch between the alignments includes means arranged for optically irradiating said device. The latter may provide linearly polarized light (3) for inducing a torque on the liquid crystal to determine the alignment direction, and may optionally cooperate with a second energy supplying means such as an electric field (V) for assisting and switching. Alternatively, the alignment of the liquid crystal may be switched by a second energy supplying means such as an electric field, the light serving to produce heat to aid the switching. Either or both energy sources may be applied locally for switching of selected areas or pixels. Energy levels at the bistable substrate may be adjusted by the use of an oligomeric additive (slippery surface). As shown, the alignment at the surface of an opposed substrate (2) optionally follows the alignment at substrate (1).

Title: Audio signal identification method and system
IPC: G10H1/00
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: A method for determining the key of an audio signal such as a music track. Portions ( 106 ) of the audio signal are analysed ( 104 ) to identify ( 108 ) a musical note and its associated strength ( 110 ) within each portion. Some notes identified in a portion may be ignored ( 118 ) to enable notes related to the key to be more readily distinguished. A first note is then determined ( 124 ) from the identified musical notes as a function of their respective strengths. From the identified musical notes, at least two further notes are selected ( 128 ) as a function of the first note. The key of the audio signal is then determined ( 130 ) based on a comparison of the respective strengths of the selected notes.
Patent GB-0313826-D0 (GB)
Title: Kinetic energy storage system
IPC: B60L50/30
Filed: 2003-06-14
Abstract: The transmission comprises a planetary gear system made up of a ring gear, a sun gear and two or more planetary gears, an input/output shaft directly connected to the planetary gear carrier, a high-speed shaft directly connected to the sun gear, a motor/generator with its rotor mounted on the input/output shaft and its stator mounted on the transmission casing, a motor/generator with its rotor mounted on the ring gear and its stator mounted on the transmission casing, and control means whereby the system is arranged to be controlled. When the motor/generator on the ring gear is temporarily acting as a generator, its electrical output is fed directly to the other motor/generator, and vice-versa, their efforts being mutually reinforcing in both cases. The principal application is in support of high-speed flywheels in road vehicles. The energy source can be a battery, a fuel cell or an internal combustion engine. The transmission provides reverse operation, through geared neutral to full forward speed, drawing energy from the flywheel on acceleration, and feeding it energy during regenerative braking. The energy transfer in each direction is normally a combination of purely mechanical through the planetary gear, and electro-mechanical between the two motor/generators. This is considerably more efficient than the conventional multiple transformations from mechanical into electrical and then into chemical for braking, and then the processes in reverse for acceleration. An optional braking device can be fitted to the ring gear, to provide higher levels of power than the motor/generators can achieve in combination.

Title: Dimensionally stable thermoplastics tubular articles
IPC: B29C71/02
Filed: 1983-04-22
Abstract: For heat-setting tubular articles (such as can bodies) of an at least partly biaxially oriented crystallisable polymer, preferably a saturated linear polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate, e.g. for thermally processable food containers, a tube (26) of the polymer is fitted over a mandrel (101) and clamped at its ends to the mandrel at a temperature belowthe glass transition temperature of the polymer. The tube is then heated, e.g. by inserting a heater (28) into the interior of the mandrel, above the temperature to which it is to be heat-set (at least 60°C above for PET) whereupon it shrinks into contact with the mandrel but is restrained from axial or further radial shrinkage. The tube and mandrel are cooled to below the heat-set temperature and the tube may then be cut by knives engaging in circumferential grooves (22) into can body sections. Contact between the tube and mandrel is released, e.g. forforcing compressed air out through small holes (16) in the mandrel surface to allow the tube and mandrel to be separated.Tubularbodies with one closed end can be heat-set on a mandrel with a correspondingly shaped end.

Title: Sensor devices
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 1991-03-14
Abstract: Analytical sensor devices incorporating a permselective medium immobilised as a continuous liquid or gel phase barrier between sample and detector. The barrier is electrically insulating, impermeable to charged non-lipophilic species, selectively partitions lipophilic species diffusing through it, and its selectivity can be controlled or optimised by pH adjustments. The preferred barrier form has the permselective medium (e.g. a lipid or ester) immobilised by incorporation as plasticiser in a polymer (especially PVC). The preferred detector is an electrode, especially of non-potentiometric type. The sensor can be used to detect components as such or indirectly by allowing them to react to produce other materials to which the detector responds (e.g. an ionic species or an ion concentration or activity change) and is also applicable to detecting neutral or small uncharged hydrophilic species, e.g. hydrogen peroxide -- especially that formed by enzyme action in the sensor or detector system. <IMAGE>
