Title: Cellular communication system with mobile and base stations having non-overlapping zones of coverage
Inventor: LARSEN JAMES DAVID
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: A cellular network comprises a plurality of mobile stations and a plurality of base stations. The base stations are located so that each base station has a zone of effective coverage which does not overlap with the zones of effective coverage of adjacent base stations. Thus, there are zones of reduced coverage between the base stations. When a sender station which is outside the zone of effective coverage of a particular base station wishes to send a message to that base station, the message is relayed by another mobile station to the destination base station. The relaying station may be located within the zone of effective coverage, or in the zone of reduced coverage of the destination base station. The sender station, the destination station and the relaying station(s) can all be mobile stations located in zones of reduced coverage. In the zones of reduced coverage, resources such as transmission power, transmission time-slots and frequency channels are utilised on a reduced basis, effectively sharing the resources between the stations.

Title: Handheld sensing apparatus with at least two sensors having a common sampling chamber and a microprocessor to analyze sensed response
Inventor: SUNSHINE STEVE A
IPC: G01N27/12
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: A vapor sensing device that is sufficiently small  and lightweight to be handheld, and also modular so as to  allow the device to be conveniently adapted for use in sensing the presence  and  concentration of a wide variety of  specified vapors.  The device provides these benefits using  a  sensor module that incorporates a sample chamber and a plurality of sensors,  located  on a chip releasably  carried  within  or adjacent  to  the  sample  chamber. Optionally,  the  sensor module  can  be configured to be releasably plugged  into  a receptacle formed in the device. Vapors are directed to pass through the sample chamber, whereupon the sensors provide  a distinct  combination of electrical signals in  response  to each. The sensors of the sensor module can take the form  of chemically sensitive resistors having resistances that  vary according  to the identity and concentration of an  adjacent vapor.  These  chemically sensitive resistors  can  each  be connected  in  series with a reference resistor,  between  a reference voltage and ground, such that an analog signal  is established  for  each  chemically sensitive  resistor.  The resulting  analog  signals  are supplied  to  an  analog-to- digital converter, to produce corresponding digital signals. These  digital signals are appropriately analyzed for  vapor identification.

Title: Mechanism for generating wave motion
Inventor: SARINGER JOHN H
IPC: A47C7/46
Filed: 1999-07-23
Abstract: The  present  invention  provides  a  wave  generating apparatus  for generating waves in for example beds,  chairs and  the  like.  In one aspect the device includes  a  motor driven    crankshaft   to   which   are   attached   several longitudinal  beams. The beams mounted  on  the  crankshafts are  offset with respect to each other in such a way  as  to produce  a  phase  shift between the  beams.  Each  beam  is provided  with several links pivotally attached at  one  end to  each beam and the links are spaced apart along each beam by  a  distance equal to the desired wavelength of the  wave being  produced. The other ends of each link is attached  to a  flexible  membrane which forms a support surface  of  the bed  or  chair.  The  links  from the  different  beams  are interleaved  at  equal phase intervals so as  to  produce  a travelling wave in the flexible membrane so that a  complete wave  passes  during each full rotation  of  the  crankshaft assembly. In another embodiment the motor is replaced  by  a generator  and  the  mechanical  movement  of  the  flexible membrane  driven  by a fluid for example is  converted  into other forms of mechanical or electrical power.

Title: Alertness monitor using eyelid and eye movement measurements to detect drowsiness
Inventor: JOHNS MURRAY
IPC: A61B3/113
Filed: 2002-11-07
Abstract: An alertness monitoring system that uses reflectance measurement of infrared light pulses to monitor eye movement of a vehicle or machine operator is disclosed. The data is used to measure eye and eyelid movement for presence of slow or drifting eye movements, eyelid closure, absence of saccadic movement, loss of eye co-ordination, wavering eyelids, partial eye closure, or drooping eyelids as indicators of loss of attention and drowsiness. The eye movements of a subject are analysed using reflected infra red light to obtain measures of the blink amplitude velocity ratio and the saccade amplitude velocity ratio. The readings are continuously compared with eye movement data indicative of degrees of alertness which correlate to blood alcohol content values so that the monitor provides an indication of the operator's legal fitness to operate the vehicle or machine from the point of view of drowsiness no matter how it is caused.
