Title: Optical proximity detectors with arrangements for reducing internal light propagation from emitter to detector
Inventor: FINDLAY EWAN
IPC: H01L25/16
Filed: 2010-11-30
Abstract: Arrangements variously including baffles, grooves, slots, reflectors and blackening are provided to reduce unwanted internal light propagation from the emitter to the detector in a single-package optical proximity detector. For example, an opaque baffle 16 may be provided between the emitter 2 and detector 4, the baffle also serving as a locating feature to ensure alignment of the lens module 8 with the lens module mount 14. The baffle may have a curved surface (37, figure 7). Alternatively or additionally, one or more channels (figures 8-12) or V shaped grooves (figures 4-6 and 8-10) may be formed in the lens module 8 to reduce or further reduce unwanted light propagation from emitter to detector. A set of curved reflectors (102, figure 13) may be provided between the emitter and detector. The surface of the lens module may be selectively blackened to absorb unwanted radiation. The detector may be a SPAD and the proximity detector may be used in a mobile phone to disable the display and/or the phone controls when a user is deemed to be close and therefore making a call.

IPC: B32B15/08
Filed: 2008-12-31
Abstract: The present invention discloses a low cost static shielding mutilayer film (30) which including an innermost skin layer (32). The innermost skill layer (32) is intended to be in contact with an electro-static discharge sensitive component or device. The innermost skin layer (32) is rendered an intrinsically permanent and non-migratory static dissipative property in a co-extrusion process.

Title: Catalytic reactor
Inventor: READING ANTHONY HENRY
IPC: B01J19/24
Filed: 2009-10-21
Abstract: A compact catalytic reactor (10) defines a multiplicity of first and second flow channels (16, 17) arranged alter nately, for an endothermic reaction and for an exothermic reaction respectively, and each containing a removable fluid-permeable catalytic insert (20, 22) to catalyse the reaction. The flow channels have a straight portion extending from one end face of the reactor and a linking portion that communicates between the end of the straight portion and at least one side face of the reactor, wherein the straight portion and the linking portion are defined at least in part by fin structures (15; 15a). The fin structures (15a) of the linking portion may be perforated, so that there are perforations (40) aligned with each straight portion (17), but at the end of the reactor each line of perforations (40) is obstructed. Removal of the obstructions enables the catalytic inserts (20, 22) to be pushed out of the flow channels (16, 17) when they are spent.

Title: Method and apparatus of operating a vehicle during take-off from rest
Inventor: HALLERON IAN
IPC: B60W10/06
Filed: 2011-04-20
Abstract: A method of assisting with take-off from rest of a motor vehicle comprises setting an elevated engine idle speed based upon gear selection in a manual transmission 3. A transmission state module 5 determines via a transmission state sensor 7 whether an odd or even gear has been selected by a driver and if an even gear has been selected an electronic control unit 4 via a engine control unit 6 sets an idle speed of an engine 2 to a predetermined idle speed which is higher than a normal engine idle speed. If an even, e.g. second, gear is selected the control unit 4 provides a warning to the driver. The transmission 3 has a H-gate selector in which all odd gears are arranged in a first row and all even gears are arranged in a second row and a neutral gear sensor provides an output indicative of which gear selected and the control unit 6 sets engine speed based on the neutral sensor output.

Inventor: GIUSTINA ANDREA
IPC: G01S5/02
Filed: 2007-02-02
Abstract: A base station 18 for a cellular communication system is intended for purchase and deployment by a customer, rather than by the network operator.

Title: Method for playing dynamic english graphics of english sentences for speed reading
Inventor: SHIN HYO SANG
IPC: G09B5/02
Filed: 2010-11-30
Abstract: The present invention is to substantiate as distinctive dynamic graphics basic principles of merge, piping, and moving which are suggested by Universal Grammar and to recompose the substantiated dynamic graphics on a display screen. The present invention is characterized in that a computer recognizes inputted English sentences, divides the inputted English sentences into individual meaningful linguistic elements and meaningful blanks surrounding the individual meaningful linguistic elements, overlaps additional static graphics expressed as proper geometrical symbols suitable for the principles of merge, piping, and moving on original static data located in each region of the elements and the blanks, and outputs the overlapped graphic data or outputs new dynamic graphics including distinctive exercise information which are designed to involve the principles of merge, piping, and moving by deforming the original static graphic data in the regions. The dynamic sentence data displayed on the screen is substantiated as a character graphic model having animated images for substantially expressing a semantic cohesion structure of a sentence therein according to Universal Grammar to intentionally stimulate the sense of sight and brain of a user. The present invention gradually develops a language interpretation structure of the brain connected to optic nerves of the user to form an optimized language interpretation structure which is similar to a language interpretation structure of a native speaker of a corresponding language.

Title: Authentication device
Inventor: PINCHEN STEPHEN PAUL
IPC: G07D7/12
Filed: 2012-11-06
Abstract: An authentication device for authenticating a luminescent security mark, the device comprising an illumination source 30 configured to irradiate the security mark with a pulse of excitation radiation so as to cause the security mark to emit luminescent radiation that decays with time; a radiation detector 31 configured to detect the luminescent radiation emitted by the security mark; and an optical waveguide 22 positioned relative to the illumination source 30 and the radiation detector 31 and configured so as to guide by internal reflection both excitation radiation emitted from the illumination source towards the security mark, and luminescent radiation emitted by the security mark towards the radiation detector. The waveguide is preferably a solid optical material, such as an acrylic glass, and may be cuboidal and elongate. The LEDs that comprise the illumination source and the photo-detector that comprise the radiation detector may abut the optical waveguide. The side surfaces of the optical material may be covered with cladding material. The use of an optical waveguide means that the illumination source need not be focused, giving a larger area for radiating the security mark, which may be of a taggant ink.

Title: Camera apparatus
Inventor: TOPLISS RICHARD
IPC: G02B7/08
Filed: 2011-08-03
Abstract: In a camera apparatus, two SMA actuator subsystems each comprise two SMA wires connected between a camera unit and a support structure, hooked over a pivot element defining pivot axes that lie in a common plane along the optical axis. Differential contraction of the SMA wires drives rotation. The SMA actuator subsystems are opposed, but the SMA wires of each subsystem are fixed respectively to the camera unit and the support structure, reducing the height. A non-conductive substrate supporting conductive tracks electrically connected to the SMA actuator system is configured as a flexure arrangement between the camera unit and the support structure. The flexure arrangement is connected to the camera unit at a position in the common plane reducing lateral resistance to tilt. Use of an intermediate connector element allows the circuit board to be arranged in front of the intermediate connector inside the height of the lens system.
