Title: A method for producing a knitted garment
Inventor: GREHAN SEAN
IPC: A41H42/00
Filed: 1995-06-23
Abstract: A knitting machine produces the front, back and sleeve panels 1 which are used to make a garment. The panels 1 are colour coded with a tag (2, Fig. 1) which is removed after inspection. At a blind stitching station 5 the panels 1 are stacked and folded over so that the side edges are aligned. The side edges are blind stitched by machine 6 and a stack of the blind stitched panels 8 are cut together at a cutting station (10, Fig. 3) to form a pattern cut folded panel (15). Thereafter the blind stitching is removed and the front, back and sleeve panels are stitched together to form a finished garment. To prevent yarn snags, yarn guides (30, Figs. 4 and 5) of a V-bed knitting machine are bridged by sections of plastics tubing (35).

Title: Computer workstation with folding extension
Inventor: WARD RICHARD CHARLES
IPC: A47B21/03
Filed: 1996-04-10
Abstract: A computer workstation with folding table leaf 2 mounted on castor wheels 4 and 4A with a handle 11 that allows the unit to be manoeuvred and placed (when the table leaf is folded) in an area occupying approximately half the floor space it would otherwise use were the table leaf raised. The lockable drawers 6, 7, and 8 can be used to store and operate mechanical and electrical equipment e.g. computers as well as documents and other artefacts. The drawer fronts can be lowered or removed 7 to allow access to equipment within, without the equipment being disturbed. The side panels 5 and 5A and rear panels can be removed to (a) allow access to equipment within and a cable conduit and (b); to provide further ventilation in addition to apertures to be found in the front, side and rear panels. A pull-out shelf allows the use of a keyboard when the table leaf is folded. An attachable rear cradle supports the keyboard when not being used. An attachable distribution block is provided which reduces the number of cables connecting to external sockets thus making the unit more mobile.

Title: Safety knife
Inventor: IRELAND WILLIAM ALFRED
IPC: B26B5/00
Filed: 1996-11-06
Abstract: A safety knife comprises a main body 53, 54 formed with a slot 59 having a narrow open mouth, into which the material to be cut is inserted, and a blade 56 mounted on the main body with a portion 58 of its cutting edge extending across the slot at a location spaced inwardly from the mouth of the slot. The blade is mounted in a recess in the main body for sliding movement across the slot, against the action of a spring 61, and is coupled to a sleeve 66 which is slidable on the main body. The user holds the knife by the sleeve 66 so that, as the knife is used to cut material, the relative movement between the sleeve and main body causes to blade 56 to slide across the slot 59, thus enhancing the cutting action.

Title: A charge pump circuit
Inventor: FOLEY DAVID JOSEPH
IPC: H02M3/07
Filed: 1997-12-01
Abstract: A charge pump circuit comprises a load capacitor (C l ) across which an output voltage of approximately twice the supply voltage (V s ) is provided. A pump capacitor (Cp) is charged from the supply voltage (V s ) through first and second charge switches (SC1,SC2), and a first pump switch (SP1) raises the voltage on the pump capacitor (Cp) to twice the supply voltage (V s ), which is then in turn applied to the load capacitor (C l ) through a second pump switch (SP2). The switches (SC1,SC2,SP1,SP2) are each provided with a high resistance switch (SR1) and a low resistance switch (SR2) parallel to each other. A select pin (P 1 ) of the switches (SC1,SC2,SP1,SP2) alternatively selects the high resistance (SR1) and the low resistance switch (SR2). On initial charging of the capacitors (C l ,C p ) the high resistance switches (SR1) are selected for minimising the initial current drawn from the supply voltage (V s ), and after the capacitors (C l ,C p ) have been initially charged, the high resistance switches (SR1) are deselected and the low resistance switches (SR2) are selected for steady state operation of the charge pump circuit. An additional charge pump stage may be added (Fig 2).

Title: A mobile telephone
Inventor: HAYASHI YUKA
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: A mobile telephone includes a protruding part 15, which is rotatable and longitudinally moveable within a pencil style housing 10. The degree of rotation of the protruding part sensed by a variable resistor determines input data e.g.a numeral displayed on LCD 12 and a pulse within a preset time (T, Figure 7) resulting from a single click operation of switch 22 confirms the generated data. This process is repeated until a telephone number is inputted when a double pulse application of the switch within the preset time (T) causes the number to be dialled. A single pulse within the preset time (T) switches the telephone on, and a single pulse exceeding the preset time (T) switches the telephone off. Call-waiting and communication modes are also described.
