Title: Communication device with display blanking responsive to manner of usage
Inventor: GIEL JAMES
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 1997-08-21
Abstract: A communication device 100, such as a battery powered radiotelephone, includes a display blanking facility. The communication device includes a clock operated blanking timer 317. When the blanking timer 317 elapses, the communication device blanks the display 106 a predetermined time after the last keypress of a keypad 108. A switch 310, associated with a set of grips (120,122 figs. 1 and 2) attached to the sides of the communication device, detects when the communication device is being gripped in a user's hand. In response to this detection, the communication device 100 maintains supply of operating power to the display, overriding the blanking timer 317. When a user is holding the communication device adjacent to the user's head, an earpiece sensor 312 provides an indication of this condition. In response to the indication, the display is immediately blanked to conserve operating power in the battery 124.

Title: Gun barrel alignment system
Inventor: DENNETT GRAHAM
IPC: F41A13/12
Filed: 1997-08-22
Abstract: . An apparatus and method for reducing bend in a gun barrel is provided. A control means (18) constantly monitors the amount of bend in a gun barrel (4) using a sensor means, for instance a laser (10) and X-Y positions detector (12) arrangement. On detection of any bend the control means (18) activates a thermal adjustments system to alter the temperature of a relevant part of the gun barrel to effectively equalise the temperature of the gun barrel and reduce bend. The thermal adjustment means may heat the barrel, using say electrical heating strips (8) or may cool the barrel through, for instance, a cooling sleeve or a mid wall cooling system.

Title: Bollard base light assembly
Inventor: NICHOLAS ALAN
IPC: E01F9/615
Filed: 1998-03-07
Abstract: A bollard base light assembly (10) comprises a base (12) housing a light source (14) and a lid (16) with a window (18) through which light may pass to illuminate a bollard from below. The walls (20) of the base are provided with a flange (22) at their uppermost edge. The lid carries an elongate locking bar (32) along one side only (30) which engages with the flange to lock the lid to the base. The opposing side of the lid (42) is provided with an inwardly directed flange (46, figure 3) which engages underneath the base flange (22) to secure that side of the lid to the base. The locking bar is pivotable about an axis (36) and is biassed by a spring (38) towards the flange (22) such that when the lid is lowered into place the bar rotates away from the locking position until an edge (52) passes the flange. At this point the bar snaps into the position shown in figure 2 under influence of the spring to lock the lid in position. In order to remove the lid the locking bar is provided with an extension (54, figure 5) which is exposed on the outside of the lid. This may be turned to release the bar from the flange (22) to enable the lid to be lifted clear of the base.

Title: Yarn winding : traversing
Inventor: EATON DAVID CHARLES
IPC: B65H54/02
Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: A yarn being wound on a package is traversed by a guide to which is applied a primary reciprocation and a superimposed secondary reciprocation to produce a linked harmonic traverse motion. The primary motion may be simple harmonic, and the secondary motion may comprise at least one harmonic of the primary. The dwell time at traverse turn around is thereby reduced to enhance package end stability. A yarn guide 18 and support 13 are traversed with a primary simple harmonic motion by successive energisation of coils 17, while cam groove 25 superimposes on follower 19 and guide 18 a secondary motion which is a combination of harmonics of the primary motion. Alternatively, support 13 may be traversed by a reversing endless band (Fig. 2, not shown), or by a rotating roller with an endless groove (Fig. 3, not shown). Many guides may be traversed simultaneously.

Title: Ignition circuits for i.c. engines
Inventor: DIBBLE JONATHAN REDECEN
IPC: F02P9/00
Filed: 1998-10-29
Abstract: The efficiency of combustion is improved by the insertion between the high voltage source and the spark gap 13 of a diode D1 and capacitor CJ in parallel or a diode 15 with reverse-bias capacitance. The capacitance is preferably no more than 1 pF. The diode may be potted to form a device with terminals, fig.5, to enable insertion between the ignition coil secondary winding and the spark gap. The combustion is initiated by a high voltage spark which then decays to a lower voltage; the method of the invention prolongs the lower voltage to increase the time period during which fuel is burnt.

Title: Radio selective call receiver
Inventor: TADA KEN-ICHI
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1999-03-30
Abstract: A radio receiver with improved accuracy of phase-locked loop is disclosed. In addition to a detector 104 for detecting a detected signal from a received radio signal, the receiver includes a monitor 106 for monitoring an amplitude change of the detected signal to detect timing where the amplitude change occurs over a predetermined range, e.g. is a maximum.

The phase-comparison at 105 is between the clock signal and the output of a comparator 103 comparing the received radio signal with a reference. In another embodiment, there are three comparators like 103, with different references, and the monitor selects one of them to be used in the phase-locking.

Title: A door lock with means to reduce force required to open the door
Inventor: DIRNBERGER ALBERT
IPC: E05B17/22
Filed: 1999-10-20
Abstract: A device tor locking a door of a domestic appliance which has an elastic seal (not shown); the device comprising a closure dog or door hook 16 and a locking body 12. The locking body 12 can be moved between on open position, a closed position in which the seal of the door is strongly compressed and a relaxed position in which the sea is less strongly compressed but the door remains closed. The relaxed position allows the door to be opened by a reduced force than that required to open the door from the closed position directly. The locking body 12 moves from the closed position (figure 2) to the relaxed position (figure 3) by pivoting the locking body 12 about end stop 24. This is facilitated by opener 14 sliding to the right as shown in the figures so that locking body 12 moves from a resting shoulder 46 of opener 14 to another resting shoulder 50. Locking body 12 may be slid linearly to an open position by electromagnet 30 (figure 4). Switch 40 prevents the appliance from operating except when the locking body 12 is in the closed position.
