Title: Hologram In Which Authentication Information Is Recorded
Inventor: KITAMURA MITSURU
IPC: G06K19/10
Filed: 2004-12-28
Abstract: A hologram in which authentication information is so recorded as to be difficult to observe in a normal way and to be easy to observe by using color difference when authentication information is ascertained by an authenticator, thereby ensuring a high falsification prevention effect. In the hologram (10) for reproducing a three-directional image, a fine object (11) which is authentication information is disposed behind a blocking object (12) having a size easy to recognize with the naked eye, the authentication information (11) is so recorded as to be not observed in a predetermined direction because the authentication information (11) is blocked by the blocking object (12) and as to be observed in a direction different from the predetermined direction, and the color of the authentication information (11) is different from that of the blocking object (12).

Title: Internal combustion five-stroke engine with opposed pistons and eccentric gearing
Inventor: LEONARD GREGORY LAWRENCE
IPC: F16H21/18
Filed: 2006-10-23
Abstract: An i.c.engine has opposed pistons 5,6 sliding in a cylinder 1, with a working space 2 between inlet ports 3 and exhaust ports 4. Connecting rods 7,8 are attached to crank pins 9,10 on second cranks 11,12 which are attached to rolling eccentric gears 13,14 which roll around stationary eccentric internal gears 15,16. The bearing of each rolling gear 13,14 is in turn driven by a main crank 17,18. With a 3:1 ratio of internal gear to rolling gear, each main crank 17,18 rotates clockwise once, and each second crank 11,12 rotates twice, for the full five-stroke cycle. Alternatively, the ratio may be 3:2. The crank pins execute hypotrochoidal motion. Preferably there exists separate adjustment to the mechanisms driving each piston and to the phase link between those mechanisms; each separate adjustment may be used to control compression ratio (CR), and in combination may be used to control CR, exhaust gas recycling (EGR) and intake capacity. The cylinders may be arranged in a hexagonal formation (fig.16) or a rhomboid formation (fig.17). The invention provides high efficiency through better combustion and prolonged expansion.

Title: MIMO radar system
Inventor: JOHNSON DAVID
IPC: G01S7/03
Filed: 2006-11-04
Abstract: A Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar system is disclosed comprising a transmitter array of transmitting elements for illumination of a target, and a receiver array of receiving elements for receiving backscattered RF signals from the target, whereby the elements of both the transmitter and receiver arrays are spaced apart by a distance   W  d in accordance with the relationship   W  d > R (  g  c /   W  t) where R is the slant range at which detection is to be made,   g  c is the carrier wavelength and   W  t is a dimension of the target. By setting the element separation in accordance with this relationship, the arrangement may alleviate problems associated with destructive interference caused by returns from a group of backscattered signals off a target. The transmitter array and the receiver array may be separated by a distance allowing the transmitter and receiver arrays to see a different geographical aspect of the target. The separation distance between the arrays (the bi-static distance) may be such that the angle between the transmitter slant range and the receiver slant range is greater than 60 degrees.

Title: Cavitation container
Inventor: MORGAN DAVID
IPC: B01D19/00
Filed: 2009-02-13
Abstract: A pressurised container 10 contains oil and a dissolved gas, at a constant pressure above atmospheric pressure. A cavitation means, such as a rotor 11, or perforated plate (21,fig.2), introduces a local area of reduced pressure within the oil to encourage the dissolved gas to evolve from the oil. This enables gas to be evolved from the oil without needing to reduce the pressure of the entire volume of oil which the gas is to be evolved from. The evolved gas and remaining oil occupy a greater volume than did the gas containing oil and consequently the pressure in the vessel will increase. This allows the gas to be drawn off while the overall pressure of the container 10 is maintained.
