Title: Cartridge library storage apparatus
Inventor: INOUE KAZUHIKO
IPC: G11B15/68
Filed: 1997-06-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a library type storage apparatus for picking a designated memory cartridge among a plurality of memory cartridges and reading from this memory cartridge. This storage apparatus comprises a magazine 25 having a plurality of holders 20 for housing the memory cartridges, 8 a drive unit for at least reading from the memory cartridge, a transferring unit for transferring the memory cartridge between the magazine and the drive unit, and a magazine moving unit for moving the magazine in directions perpendicular to a transferring directions of the transferring unit. This storage apparatus further comprises a slide member 24 provided in each holder and slide-movable on insertion of the memory cartridge into said holder, and a detecting unit for detecting a position of the slide member. This detection mechanism detects whether or not the cartridge exists in the holder in a short time in the case of even a seethrough cartridge.
Patent GB-2316101-A (GB)
Title: Electrical substrate containing single resin thermosetting compositions
Inventor: ST LAWRENCE MICHAEL E
IPC: C08L53/02
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: An electrical substrate material e.g. for microwave and digital circuits comprises a thermosetting matrix of polybutadiene or polyisoprene in an amount of 25 to 50 volume %; a woven glass fabric in an amount of 10 to 40 volume %; a particulate, preferably ceramic filler, in an amount of from 5 to 60 volume %; and preferably a flame retardant. Importantly, the composition comprises only a single resin, i.e., polybutadiene or polyisoprene. A peroxide cure initiator and/or crosslinking agent may optionally be added. The presence of a very high surface area particulate filler, preferably fumed silica, is also preferred, in that its presence results in a prepreg which has very little tackiness and can therefore be easily handled by operators. This low tackiness feature allows for the use of conventional automated layup processing, including foil cladding, using one or more known roll laminators.
Patent GB-2318509-A (GB)
Title: Bed/bath
Inventor: AKADO KOJI
IPC: A61H33/00
Filed: 1997-09-11
Abstract: A bath intended to be disposed, in use, under a bed portion which comprises a bed mat on a bed frame, so that the bed frame can descend into the bath with the sick lying on the mat to take a bath, wherein the bath is formed with a flexible bag body, an opening of the bag body being squared rigidly by the insertion of supporting bars in four supporting bar inserting paths formed at the edge of the opening, and at least some of the supporting bars inserted in the supporting bar inserting paths being supported removably, in use, on a frame body of the bed. A bath (5) (Figures 1 and 11) for use with a bed for a sick person is formed with a flexible bag body (14), edges of an opening of the bag body (14) being squared, at which edges are formed supporting bar inserting paths (15) and (16) to receive supporting bars (17) and (18), the supporting bars (18) inserted in the paths (16) being supported on a frame body (19) of the bed. Thereby, the bath is prepared at a low cost, and after removal from the bed the bag body (14) can be folded small so as to require only a small stocking space. Since the bag body (14) is free to be deformed and of light weight, it can be increased in ease of handling it, such as mounting, removing and cleaning.

Patent GB-2337990-A (GB)
Title: Process for shaping cellulose
Inventor: SMITH STEPHEN BYRON
IPC: C08B1/00
Filed: 1998-06-03
Abstract: A process for the manufacture of shaped cellulose articles e.g. fibres from a solution of cellulose in an amine-N-oxide solvent involves the initial formation of a homogeneous cellulose dope by dissolving cellulose pulp in a mixture of a tertiary amine-N-oxide, water and an aprotic organic diluent to form a slurry. The slurry is then heated with removal of water to form the homogeneous dope. The preferred amine-N-oxide is N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) and the preferred aprotic diluent is N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP). The addition of NMP decreases the time required for the cellulose to dissolve by a significant factor.

Patent GB-2324919-A (GB)
Title: Modulation or frequency conversion by time sharing
Inventor: HORNAK THOMAS
IPC: H03D7/18
Filed: 1995-10-09
Abstract: A switching signal drives a time-share mixer circuit to alternate between two output signals. The first output signal represents the output of a mixer 123 having a given signal input and a local oscillator signal with a first phase as its local oscillator input. The second output signal represents the output of the mixer having the same input signal and the local oscillator signal with a second phase that differs from the first phase by 90 degrees as its local oscillator input signal. A frequency converter uses the time-share mixer circuit in combination with a switched output phase shifter 209 that switches in sync with the phase of the local oscillator signal to generate a phase shifted output signal in which the time average of an undesired image signal is substantially reduced compared to time average of the desired signal. The phase shifted output signal is then filtered by a filter 205 and amplified as desired by a bandpass amplifier. A clocked inverter in series with one of the mixer ports provides improved performance by eliminating the need for two precisely phase-shifted local oscillator signals.
Patent GB-2328426-A (GB)

Patent GB-2347362-A (GB)
Title: Catalytic combustion structure in an induced air catalytic burner
Inventor: PIVOT JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: F23C13/00
Filed: 1999-12-22
Abstract: The permeable porous cordierite honeycomb support for the catalyst structure 1 of an induced air catalytic burner has an upstream face 8 and a downstream face 4. Catalytically active material (eg: preferably platinum; optionally palladium, rhodium or iridium, alone or in combination) is applied by wet impregnation and calcination to a depth of only a few millimetres to each of these faces, so that the central portion of the structure is essentially free from catalyst. In the preferred embodiments the quantity of catalyst present at the upstream face is greater than that at the downstream face. The selective provision of catalyst material upon the structure (rather than even distribution throughout) is stated to facilitate improved flameless combustion and longer life for the device. In use flamed combustion (eg: of air 72 entrained in butane 73) occurs initially at the downstream face of the structure, and once the structure is hot the combustion front migrates into the structure to the upstream face where flameless catalytic combustion takes place.

Title: Process for removing sulphur compounds from water
Inventor: BUISMAN CEES JAN NICO
IPC: B01D53/50
Filed: 1993-05-26
Abstract: The invention provides a method for removing sulphur compounds from water which contains low levels of organic matter, by anaerobic reduction of the sulphur compounds to sulphide, followed by partial oxidation of the sulphide to elementary sulphur. The cost-increasing consumption of electron donor (nutrient) during the anaerobic reduction is lowered by one or more of the following measures: a1) keeping the sulphate concentration in the anaerobic effluent at at least 500 mg/l; a2) keeping the sulphite concentration in the anaerobic effluent at at least 100 mg/l; b) keeping the salt concentration, expressed in sodium ion equivalents, in the anaerobic medium at at least 3 g/l; c) keeping the sulphide concentration in the anaerobic influent at at least 100 mg/l; d) introducing an inhibitor into the anaerobic treatment medium, which inhibitor is more toxic to the methane-producing bacteria than to incompletely oxidising sulphate-reducing bacteria or sulphate-reducing bacteria oxidising compounds having one carbon atom.
