Title: Retractor with biased spool
Inventor: PALLISER MARTYN NEIL
IPC: B60R22/34
Filed: 1997-01-24
Abstract: A vehicle safety restraint retractor comprising a spool 2 for storage of belt webbing 1, the spool 2 being mounted for rotation about an axis 3 within the spool housing 4, the retractor, comprising a resilient biasing member 10 urging one end of the spool 2 towards a cover 6 for the side of the retractor, for taking up axial tolerances in the spool mounting. The resilient biasing member 10 is preferably a wave washer spring positioned at the retractor spring side of the spool 2, between the spool 2 and the spool arbour cap 9 and covered with a spring cover 7. Such a wave washer 10 reduces axial and radial float of the spool 2 and thus substantially reduces levels of noise in normal operation of the retractor.

Title: Lining a pipe
Inventor: MUCKLE DEREK
IPC: B29C63/46
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: A precursor lining pipe 4a from an initial pipe of memory cross-linked polyethylene with external diameter equal to the internal diameter of an outer pipe 2, is drawn through a die to obtain a decreased external diameter. The precursor pipe 4a is inserted in the outer pipe 2 and the polyethylene is molten by drawing through the precursor lining pipe 4a a burner 60 burning fuel gas supplied with combustion air through a hose 58 by which the burner is towed. The hot products of combustion melt the polyethylene causing the precursor lining pipe 4a to expand automatically into the lining pipe 4b which is supported, until the polyethylene solidifies on cooling, by gas pressure derived from the pressure of the gaseous products of combustion optionally augmented by the pressure of additional air supplied to the interior of the precursor lining pipe 4a.

Patent GB-2332589-A (GB)
Title: Telecommunications signalling
Inventor: LAMKIN RICHARD MORTIMER
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a telecommunications system comprising an interface mechanism for passing signalling events between a central terminal and a subscriber terminal within the telecommunications system. The interface mechanism comprises a signalling element within the central terminal for receiving a first signalling event for transmission to the subscriber terminal and for referencing a stored set of messages to determine a first signalling message to encode the first signalling event for transmission to the subscriber terminal. Further, it comprises a signalling manager within the subscriber terminal for receiving the first signalling message from the central terminal, and for referencing said stored set of messages to decode the first signalling message to determine the first signalling event. The signalling manager is arranged to receive a second signalling event for transmission to the central terminal and to encode the second signalling event as a predetermined signalling message from said stored set of messages, a parameter of the predetermined signalling message being arranged to contain information identifying the type of the second signalling event. In accordance with the present invention, a core set of messages can be defined to represent all of the necessary signalling events which may need to be communicated between the central terminal and the subscriber terminal. By defining a core set of messages, the number of bits required to define each message is relatively small, this assisting in reducing the bandwidth demands required for signalling.

Title: Preventing access to a hard disc in a computer on booting-up from a floppy disc
Inventor: FLORENCE ALEXANDER THOMAS
IPC: G06F21/80
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: A method for preventing access to a C drive hard disc in an IBM compatible PC when the PC has been booted-up from a floppy disc comprises transferring the partition code and partition table from the standard partition sector (1) to an alternative partition sector (3) on the hard disc, in encrypted form. The BPB data and the boot code are encrypted and transferred from the standard boot sector (2) to an alternative boot sector (4) on the hard disc. The standard boot sector is left blank, and an executable protection code is written in the standard partition sector (1). The protection code is read only by the basic operating system of the PC prior to booting-up from the hard disc. The protection code contains an instruction for inserting a protection handler of the protection code in the BIOS interrupt chain as a handler for interrupts for access to the standard partition and boot sectors (1) and (2), and an instruction for directing all valid interrupts for access to the standard partition and boot sectors (1) and (2) to the alternative partition and boot sectors (3) and (4).

Patent GB-2338338-A (GB)
Title: High energy density boride batteries
Inventor: AMENDOLA STEVEN
IPC: H01M4/00
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: Borides generally can produce a cell (10) with high energy density. High power densities are also achievable using borides that are reasonably good conductors of electricity. High density is important to achieve high energy density. Another important factor is lower molecular weight per available electron. The borides generally provide a favorable balance of these factors, compared to other materials, such as lithium and zinc. Individual borides have other important characteristics, such as titanium boride which is safe. In a preferred embodiment, a boride is used as the anode (14) contained in a metal cup (16), and reacted against an air breathing cathode (20).

Title: Polimerization process for producing polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions
IPC: C08L33/00
Filed: 1992-10-20
Abstract: This invention provides a polymerization process for producing polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions. It comprises addition of monomer and initiator to a reaction vessel using a monomer feed profile and an initiator feed profile wherein the feed profiles are such that the ratio of monomer concentration to initiator concentration is determined in accordance with a polymerization kinetics relationship between a selected degree of polymerization and monomer concentration, initiator concentration, reaction temperature and a polymerization efficiency factor to obtain an approximately constant degree of polymerization for polymer produced during the polymerization process. The polymerization efficiency factor accounts for deviations from ideal kinetics relationships.
