Title: Safety and anti-theft device for a vehicle
Inventor: MULLER JACQUES
IPC: B60R25/08
Filed: 1998-05-19
Abstract: A safety and anti-theft device for a vehicle comprises an auxiliary hydraulic circuit 12 having a pump 22 driven by an electric motor 20, an isolating valve 14, a distributor 16, and control means 38. In normal use, the auxiliary circuit is isolated by valve 14 and the electrically operated slide valve of the distributor allows direct operation of the brakes by the master cylinder. When the ignition is switched on and an incorrect number is keyed into pad 42, the valve 14 adopts the illustrated position and distributor slide valve is moved to allow fluid from the auxiliary circuit to flow via inlet 36 and at least one outlet 34 to the associated brake(s), thus locking the wheel(s) and preventing theft. The control means may also lock the wheels in response to release of the handbrake 48 when the vehicle is on a slope. In a further embodiment, the distributor slide valve is operated hydraulically.

Title: Air conditioner for vehicle
Inventor: NAGATA OSAMU
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 1998-09-11
Abstract: A heater unit (2) is accommodated in a unit case (5), and the unit case (5) is provided with a first air passage (15), a second air passage (16) and a bypass air passage (17). Through the first air passage (15), air blown by a blower (1) flows into a defroster air outlet (10), a center-face air outlet (11) and a first opening portion (12b) of a side-face air outlet (12). Through the second air passage (16), air flows into a foot air outlet (13). Further, through the bypass air passage (17), air flows into a second opening portion (12b) of the side-face air outlet (12) while bypassing the first air passage (15). The first and second air passages (15, 16) are selectively opened/closed by a foot mode door (8). The defroster and center-face air outlets (10, 11) are selectively opened/closed by a defroster/face mode selecting door (9). The first opening portion (12a) is closed when the center-face air outlet (11) is closed, and the second opening portion (12b) is constantly opened. Therefore, air is always blown into a passenger compartment through the second opening portion (12b) of the side-face air outlet (12); thereby preventing side windshields of the vehicle from being fogged.

Title: A superregenerative receiver providing a wake-up call for a tag
Inventor: FORSTER IAN JAMES
IPC: H03D11/04
Filed: 1998-11-07
Abstract: A detector receiver circuit (2) for use as a wake-up detector for detecting an amplitude modulated carrier signal is described. The circuit (2) comprises: an antenna (4) for receiving the modulated carrier signal and a transistor (10), such as an FET, connected to the antenna (4) and configured to operate as a detector of modulation of the carrier frequency. The circuit further comprises a resonator circuit (12-16) which is also connected to the transistor and configured such that the transistor (10) can simultaneously oscillate at substantially the modulation frequency; an oscillator quenching means (20) for periodically quenching oscillation of the transistor (10) and means (26,28,30) for sensing the characteristics of the build-up of oscillation to indicate the presence of a modulated carrier signal. How quickly the magnitude of oscillation of the transistor (10) builds up is dependent on whether the antenna is receiving a carrier signal which is modulated at the frequency of self-oscillation of the transistor and this is utilised to detect for the presence of a valid wake-up signal.

Title: Behaviour modification
Inventor: ROSE JOHN EDWARD
IPC: A61M21/00
Filed: 1997-07-14
Abstract: Behaviour modification for a human subject (10) takes place under hypnosis, when the subject (10) is in a relaxed state. A machine (12) plays back a video or audio recording, during which the subject (10) is instructed to activate a device (18) to create a perceptible stimulation which is linked, through the hypnosis, with a visualisation of enhanced or improved performance. After the hypnosis, the user can re-activate the apparatus (18) at will, whenever the improved performance, such as improved sporting performance, is desired. This will again create the perceptible stimulation and thus induce the required visualisation.

Title: Call center agent occupancy calculation
Inventor: FOSTER ROBIN H
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 1999-12-07
Abstract: A call center is configured to include a capability for generating measures of occupancy for one or more agents. At least one value characterizing an occupancy measure determination for a given agent is stored in a memory associated with the call center, and used in generating an occupancy measure for that agent. In an illustrative embodiment, a set of stored values for the given agent includes an initial occupancy value for the agent, expressed in terms of a percentage. The occupancy measure for the agent may then be set to the initial occupancy value upon a log-in by the agent, so as to avoid undue oscillation in the occupancy measure after log-in. The set of stored values for the given agent may also include, for example, a limit which specifies a maximum amount of time for a designated activity which is to be considered as occupied time in generating the occupancy measure, or a limit which specifies a maximum effect of a designated activity in generating the occupancy measure. The designated activity may be, for example, after call work or auxiliary work performed by the agent.

Title: Reclining chair
IPC: A47C1/0355
Filed: 1991-11-01
Abstract: A chaise lounge recliner chair (300) which incorporates an intermediate leg support member (312) for providing support to the thighs and areas behind the knees of the legs of an occupant of the chair. The intermediate leg support member (312) is connected to a portion of the seat (306) of the recliner chair and a portion of the leg rest member (310) of the chair. When the leg rest member (310) is in an extended position the intermediate leg support member (312) provides a normal slightly convex support surface. As the seat back (302) of the chair is reclined, it causes the seat member (306) to be extended outwardly which causes the intermediate leg support member (312) to assume a pronounced convex surface. A plurality of elastic straps (324) are further included and disposed between the seat (306) and leg rest members (310) to prevent the intermediate leg rest member (312) from crowning downwardly relative to the chair frame when the leg rest member (310) is in it extended position. <IMAGE>

Title: Color picture tube
Inventor: KUDOU MAKOTO
IPC: H01J29/07
Filed: 1982-01-27
Abstract: PURPOSE:To increase the tolerance of the white uniformity characteristic of a color picture  tube, and enhance the screen quality of the color picture tube by connecting the slit holes of a shadow mask by means of connection grooves having nodes so as to make said connection grooves to be divided by bridge parts. CONSTITUTION:A bridge part 14 of a negative small slit is provided with a pair of auxiliary dots 15. When etching is performed by the usual mask-manufacturing method by using the negative small slit and a large rectangular slit as a pair of negatives, the corner of the slit hole becomes continuous with a corrosion accelerating part 17 to form a connection groove 18. Then, due to the connection groove 18, corrosion solution is exchanged smoothly during the corrosion, the speed of the corrosion is accelerated, and the corner of the slit hold becomes as indicated by (a)-(b), (c)-(d) in the figure. In addition, when it is desired that the corner of the slit hole is corroded to a larger degree, it can be achieved by increasing the area of the connection groove 18 by increasing the length (BL) of the auxiliary dots 15.
