Title: Wireless packet communication system
Inventor: MESSENGER STEVEN
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1990-08-16
Abstract: A wireless packet communication system is operable in a frequency band occupied by other transmission sources. The system includes a base station (10) and several remote stations (12, 14, 16). Each remote station (12, 14, or 16) has a transceiver (26, 30 or 32) for transmitting and receiving data packets on electromagnetic carriers. The carrier frequency of the transceiver (12, 14 or 16) is selected in a pseudorandom manner from a predetermined set of carrier frequencies prior to transmission of each packet or in response to detection of transmission errors. Each carrier frequency may be associated with a unique pseudorandom noise code used to spread spectrum encode packets. The base station (10) has a number of transceivers (16, 20, 22, 24) which operate simultaneously at the different carrier frequencies and which generate different noise codes for spread spectrum encoding and decoding. <IMAGE>

Title: Regulated power supply with controlled output power failure mode
Inventor: GILES WAYNE R
IPC: G05F1/577
Filed: 1991-03-26
Abstract: A voltage regulation facility uses the voltage of a higher output rail 31 to sustain momentarily the voltage decay of a relatively lower voltage rail 32 using a transfer circuit incorporating a series voltage regulator 41 coupled to a diode 43 itself forward-biassed into conductance upon the relative falls of the higher and lower voltage rails to discharge a capacitance 37 into the lower rail 32, capacitance 37 being charged from the higher rail 31. A 5 volt supply, derived from rail 32 via a regulator 48, may be used to power a data memory. A power fail logic signal may be derived and applied to a processor to transfer data into a static memory after mains failure but before the 5 volt supply falls out of specification. <IMAGE>

Title: Flowmeter
Inventor: GIMSON CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: G01F1/68
Filed: 1991-07-27
Abstract: A flowmeter is located in thermal contact with a fluid the flow rate of which is to be measured. A heater is placed in thermal contact with a body of the meter, and a first temperature sensor measures the temperature of the body. A second temperature sensor measures the temperature of the fluid, and power is supplied to the heater, so as to maintain a predetermined selected differential temperature between the body and the fluid. The rate at which power is supplied to the heater is measured, and the flow rate is calculated from the measured rate of power supply. The power supply is maintained at a predetermined maximum rate in the event that the maximum rate is insufficient to maintain the predetermined selected differential temperature, and the flow rate is calculated from the differential temperature when the rate of power supply is the said maximum rate of power supply.

Patent GB-915649-A (GB)
IPC: B27L1/05
Abstract: 915,649. Bark removing. NELSON, P. V. Sept. 12, 1961, No. 32733/61. Class 145. [Also in Groups XXIX and XXXII] The pivoted tool arms 3 of the rotary ring 1 of a barking machine are pressed against the log L by sealed fluid pressure means which exerts a continuously and rapidly-increasing pressure as the arms move outwardly to accommodate larger logs. An extensible hydraulic strut 8, Fig. 3, or 17, Fig. 4, extends between each arm 3 and a pivot 9 on the ring 1 and the movement of the arms is limited by stops 7 and a bumper pad 5. Silicone liquid may be used as the hydraulic fluid. The strut 17, Fig. 4, comprises a cylinder with a core 18 slidable sealingly within the sleeve 20 of a plunger 19 and as the strut is compressed the entry of more of the sleeve increasingly compresses the liquid. The initial pressure of the liquid is set by screwing in a filling bolt 26 to reduce the effective size of the cylinder and can be increased by screwing in a second bolt 26<SP>1</SP>. In a modified strut, operating similarly, the plunger takes the form of a stepped piston-rod extending through both ends of the cylinder. As shown in Fig. 3, the cylinder space of the strut 8 is connected by a flexible conduit 12 to a rigid vessel 11 having within it a variable volume reservoir 11<SP>1</SP> which is preferably made of synthetic rubber and is filled with a gas, such as air or nitrogen, under pressure. The vessels 11 may be independent from each other but are preferably interconnected by a conduit 13 having filling and venting plugs 14. The initial pressure in the reservoirs 11<SP>1</SP> may be 450 lb./sq. in. and the initial pressure in the system may be raised during filling with liquid to 540-3,000 lb./sq. in. By increasing or decreasing the initial gas pressure in the reservoir 11<SP>1</SP>, the volume of the reservoirs under the initial hydraulic pressure is smaller or greater and the proportionate rise in pressure as the tool arms move out to accommodate bigger logs is correspondingly greater or smaller.

Title: At task file with automatic update.
Inventor: HOLT MICHAEL
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 1992-07-29
Abstract: A circuit for automatically updating the IBM (BTM) AT task file registers used in hard disk drives and hard disk controller systems that are compatible with the IBM AT BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The circuit utilizes four 8-bit digital upcounters, one 4-bit digital upcounter, an 8-bit data register and a 4-bit data register. These counters indicate the physical address of the sector of data being transferred and are incremented or reloaded as required as each sector of data is transferred. The 8-bit data register (the maximum sector register), stores the number of sectors and the 4-bit register (the maximum head register), stores the number of heads on the disk drive. The counters are then reloaded or incremented as required based upon the contents of the maximum head and maximum sector registers without microprocessor supports as each sector is transferred. Automatic update of the AT task file reduces the command overhead and microprocessor band width requirement for supporting the AT task file. <IMAGE>

IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 1994-08-30
Abstract: A method for correcting distorted images of e.g. fingerprints. At step 5, a plurality of starting points are displayed on the boundary of the image to be corrected. At step 6, the operator enters motion vectors, for selected starting points. The motion vector for any starting point for which no motion vector was entered by the operator is calculated at step 8. At step 11, the picture is converted according to the motion vectors and at step 12 a converted picture is displayed. If required by the operator steps of the processing from step 5 on are executed again, and motion vectors are designated again. The desired picture is obtained by repeating the setting of motion vectors and the evaluation of the converted picture. <IMAGE>
