Title: Hook and loop panel and cover attached to the face of tennis rackets
Inventor: SCHRODER DAVID JOHN
IPC: A63B60/58
Filed: 2012-10-10
Abstract: A training aid for attachment onto the face of racquets (e.g. tennis racquets) comprises a hook and loop panel or board A that incorporates holes or vents B to permit airflow. The hook and loop panel A is designed for use with hook and loop ball or similar projectiles so that the ball when hit will not depart from the racquet head. The panel A is preferably attached to the racquet using hook and loop straps (D, figure 2), an elasticated sleeve (H, figure 4) or a side zip on cover (figure 5). The training aid may further comprise a waterproof cover or jacket (g, figure 3) for the hook and loop panel A. The waterproof cover (g, figure 3) may comprise a pocket to hold a ball and may allow the user to work against the resistance of air to improve wrist and arm strength.

Title: Multi-layered ceramic package comprising signal planes and reference mesh planes
Inventor: CHOI JINWOO
IPC: H01L23/498
Filed: 2012-11-13
Abstract: A multi-layered ceramic package 500 includes a plurality of signal planes, each having one or more signal lines S1-S9; a plurality of vias 518, 524, 528, 530 , each providing one of a voltage (Vdd) power connection or a ground (Gnd) connection; and at least one reference mesh plane 502, 504, 506, 508 adjacent to one or more signal planes S1, S2, S4. The reference mesh plane includes spaced mesh lines that are separated by spaces (spacing and spacing II figure 6) that alternate in a narrow-wide or wide-narrow pattern. Preferably the different size alternating spaces alternate in the ration N to M and preferably where N=1 and M=2. The multi-layered ceramic package using the mesh plane with alternating spaces generates significantly lower far-end (FE) noise (figure 12, 13) in the ceramic package than a conventional mesh plane with constant spaces. The noise is further reduced by placing shield lines (1042, 1044, 1046, 1048 figures 9,10) on opposite sides of signal lines in the signal plane. The invention also comprises a method and an associated 3D computer simulation program for providing a mesh adjustment engine to access the ceramic package and rearrange any equally spaced mesh lines with a mesh plane design where the size of the mesh plane spaces alternate.

Title: Porous implant material
Inventor: DAIGO YUZO
IPC: A61C8/00
Filed: 2011-11-10
Abstract: The invention has strength characteristics similar to human bone and ensures adequate bonding with bone even while avoiding the occurrence of stress shielding. Multiple metal bodies (4, 5) of differing porosities are bonded via bonding interfaces (F) that are parallel in one direction while the porosity of the overall composite of said metal bodies (4, 5) is 50% to 92%. The metal bodies of the higher porosity are porous metal bodies (4) that have a three dimensional reticulated structure with multiple communicating pores formed by a continuous backbone. For the metal bodies (5) of the lower porosity, porosity is 0-50% and when one direction parallel to the bonding interfaces is made to be the shaft direction, the area occupancy in cross-sections orthogonal to the shaft direction is 0.5% to 50%. The strength when compressed in a direction parallel to the bonding interfaces is 1.4 times to 10 times the strength when compressed in the direction orthogonal to the bonding interfaces.

Title: Axle clamping system for deflection sensing beam
Inventor: DAVIS ROBERT CLIVE BROWNING
IPC: B60G11/02
Filed: 2013-07-29
Abstract: A vehicle, such as a trailer with a fluid actuated braking system, is provided with a spring suspension arrangement providing axle load equalisation and with a spring deflection sensing beam to modulate braking force applied by those brakes. The beam is preferably in two parts 41, 42 and is mounted between midpoints of the front and rear axles 16, 18. The outer ends of the beam parts 41, 42 are mounted to the axle housings by means of clamping bracket assemblies 46, 48 which include pairs of resilient elements 47, preferably cylindrical in form, between which the beam end regions are engaged to allow for movement of the outer ends of the beam parts 41, 42 relative to the axle housings which will inevitably occur in a vehicle travelling over a variety of rough and uneven ground surfaces. A linkage 44 extends upwards from its first end 51 which is mounted at the midpoint of the beam, preferably between the two beam parts 41, 42, to its second end which is pivotally mounted to a lever 45 mounted upon the vehicle chassis. The lever 45 has one end 56 operatively connected to a 'load' sensing valve (not shown) which controls the fluid supplied to the brakes. In use, deflection of suspension springs 11, 12, 13, 14 mounting the axles 16, 18, which is equalised by means of rockers 30 and is dependent on the overall loading upon the vehicle axles causes substantially vertical displacement of the linkage, which moves an end of the lever 45 by a greater distance than the spring deflection so to control the sensing valve to appropriately modify supply of fluid to the brakes for required braking force at that vehicle weight.

Title: Operation input device and input operation processing method
Inventor: KATO NAOKI
IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 2014-06-26
Abstract: A touch input panel 11 for a floating touch and a touch operation. A determination unit determines which one of a floating touch operation and a touch operation is input. A display information generation unit 54 generates a pointer, or cursor, at a position on a display screen 301 when it is determined that a floating touch operation is input. A transformation unit may transform the input position into a display position based on a resolution on the display screen 301 and the resolution of the touch panel 11. This enables floating or hover gestures made by a finger, palm or pen to be detected using a capacitive sensor and for corresponding movement of a pointer or cursor to be displayed on a display screen.

Title: Method of and apparatus for displaying an output surface in data processing systems
Inventor: CROXFORD DAREN
IPC: G09G5/393
Filed: 2014-07-15
Abstract: A compositing display controller 20 provides an output frame 23 to a display for display by sending respective output surface regions 21, 21a that together form the output frame. Each respective region 24 of the output surface is generated from a respective region or regions of one or more input surfaces, to the display. When a new version of an output surface region is generated, the display controller determines whether the output surface region is unlikely to change or has been unchanged for a period, and if it has, then stores the generated output surface region in a frame buffer 22. Then, for the subsequent frame, checks are performed to see if the output surface region could have changed. If there is no change the stored version of the output surface region is reused, but if there is a change in the output surface region, the output surface region is regenerated. The display controller can provide a hybrid window compositing system that selects between frame buffer composition and direct composition which reduces bandwidth.

Abstract: Processing a set of event log data comprising event records. A search criteria is received from a user 11, and a subset of the set of event log data consisting of event records from the set of event log data that satisfy the search criteria is determined 12. For each event record in the subset of event log data, a similarity score for the event record is determined 13, where the similarity score is indicative of the similarity of the event record to the other event records in the subset of event log data. The similarity score is determined using at least one distance metric that determines a notional distance between two event records and maybe based on the similarity of text in the records or how close the time stamps of the records are. The subset of event log data is updated by adding to each event record its similarity score 14, and the updated subset of event log data is then returned to the user 15.
