Patent GB-2431118-A (GB)
Title: Three-dimensional moulded articles
Inventor: DYE NIGEL ANDREW
IPC: B29C51/00
Filed: 2005-10-14
Abstract: A three dimensional article has a contoured face and a flat base. The contoured face has a printed image which matches the contours on the face. A distorted version of the printed image is printed on one face of a flat sheet 22. A core sheet 18 is pressed into a female mould 10 to be permanently deformed with a relief surface. The flat sheet 22 is then applied to the relief surface of the sheet 18 such that, as the sheet is applied and follows the surface contours, the deformation of the image disappears.

Patent GB-2433844-A (GB)
Title: Electrostatic motor
Inventor: STREVENS CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H02N1/00
Filed: 2006-01-03
Abstract: The high efficiency motor is based on a new understanding of the motor force in electromagnetism. This is that the force between conductors is due to the special theory of relativity and is therefore electrostatic and there is no magnetic field. This means that there is no need for a magnetic circuit and therefore no need for a large heavy yoke. The high permeability material only needs to be between and around the layer of conductors on the armature and on and around the layer of conductors on the stator where they face each other. This may be an electret e.g. barium titanate. Alternatively a ferrite or soft iron dust in resin may be used.

Patent GB-2430331-A (GB)
Title: RFID reader
Inventor: HILL NICHOLAS PATRICK ROLAND
IPC: H03D1/02
Filed: 2006-06-08
Abstract: A passive tag modulates an interrogating field with data, by absorption of the e-m field. The field is radiated by an antenna coil L1 in a resonant circuit driven by a square wave from a stimulus generator. Variations in the field amplitude caused by data modulation by the tag, are detected in a feedback circuit and used to drive a pulse width modulator, which controls the stimulus generator. Variation of the mark/space ratio of the stimulation signal controls the amplitude of the interrogation field. The negative feedback counteracts the modulation in the field amplitude. The feedback signal thus demodulates the amplitude variations representing the tag data.

Title: Copying computer files when manipulation is requested
Inventor: KREN DAVID
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2007-06-28
Abstract: On a computing device which can run several application processes, the file management system copies a file to a new location when a request to manipulate the file is received. The copy of the tile may then be manipulated by the process making the request. The original file may then be deleted when no application processes reference the original file. The number of processes referencing the file may be stored as a count in the file metadata. When the file is copied a pointer to the copy may be stored with the original file. The original file may be marked as modified if processes are accessing the file. If a process requests a file that is marked as modified, a copy of the modified file may be made.
