Title: Speed trap warning device
Inventor: BURCH MARTIN
IPC: G01S5/14
Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: A device for warning motorists of an approaching location wherein a roadside vehicle speed detector is located includes a GPS sensor providing real time coordinate data identifying the location of the vehicle, and a memory holding a local database of coordinate data identifying the geographical locations of roadside vehicle speed detectors. Means are then provided for computing from a comparison of the real time and stored data the position of the vehicle relative to the speed detectors, and a warning signal is generated and/or displayed whenever the computing means determines that the vehicle is within a predetermined distance of one or more of the speed detectors. The predetermined distance may be speed-dependent. The device may also store speed limits and determine the vehicle's speed using the GPS, and only warn the driver if he is exceeding the speed limit. The device may also store the direction in which detectors face, and only warn the driver if he is moving in a direction liable to detection. The database may be downloaded from a central server.

Title: Opening up a connection across a computer network
Inventor: FIORE FRANCOIS
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: When a terminal 1B of a communications network, such as cellular network 101, wishes to communicate with a terminal 1A across a computer network, eg Internet 100, it sends its own call number and an identifier of terminal 1A to a server 3 where they are associated and stored in a database. When terminal 1A connects to the computer network, the server is notified and presented with the terminal's identifier, which the server subsequently searches for in its database. Having found the identifier in its database, the server finds the associated call number of terminal 1B and notifies that terminal of the computer network address (eg IP address) of terminal 1A, following which, terminal 1B reconnects to the computer network and establishes communications with terminal 1A. Terminal 1B may be an Internet enabled GSM handset and may be notified of terminal 1A's IP address via the cellular network's Short Message Service (SMS). The terminals could be linked by an ISDN network, in which case the connecting server could notify terminal 1B of terminal 1A's connection via a message transmitted on a signalling channel without first having to establish a bidirectional telephone conversation over the ISDN network.

Title: Apparatus and method for generating an interference pattern to be written as a grating in a sample of a photosensitive material
Inventor: KASHYAP RAMAN
IPC: G02B6/124
Filed: 1999-08-03
Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating an interference pattern to be written as a grating in a sample of photosensitive material wherein the interference pattern to be written is tunable using at least two moveable reflectors. An incident UV beam is passed through a phase mask, which functions as a beam splitter. The interference pattern produced by the phase mask is tuned by the reflectors before being incident on the photosensitive material. A Bragg grating is written in the photosensitive material whose Bragg wavelength is determined, in combination with other parameters, by the incident tuned interference pattern. This apparatus and method allow wide tunability of the Bragg wavelength of the gratings formed using the same phase mask.

Title: Flipping wiper scraper service station for cleaning a wiper blade of an inkjet printhead system
Inventor: SHIBATA ALAN
IPC: B41J2/165
Filed: 2001-01-23
Abstract: A flipping wiper scraper service station for cleaning several inkjet printheads (70,72,74,76,Fig.1) in an inkjet printing mechanism includes a rotatable wiper support sled 100 (Fig.2) which moves several elastomeric wipers 92,94,96,98 across the printheads to wipe off accumulations of ink residue.

In use, the wiper support sled inverts the wipers from a wiping position (Fig.3) to a scraping position (Fig.8) so as to engage the scrapers. The scraper have capillary channels (167,Fig.16) to draw liquid ink residue away from the heads through capillary forces. The scraper are arranged so only one or two wipers are scraped at any given time to reduce noise and quiet overall unit operation. A method of cleaning an inkjet printhead, along with an inkjet printing mechanism having such a flipping wiper scraper system are also disclosed.

Patent GB-2373849-A (GB)
Title: Ventilation heat exchanger
Inventor: MARTIN CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: F24F12/00
Filed: 2001-03-26
Abstract: A mixed-mode heat exchanger in which stale but warm exhaust air is drawn from a building by a fan 1 and heat reclaimed from this exhaust air is used to preheat fresh cold air drawn into the building by a fan 6. The front surface of the heat exchanger 9 absorbs shortwave radiation, and is covered by a transparent insulating layer 13. When solar radiation is incident on the device it passes through this transparent cover to be absorbed by the plate, from where energy is transferred to the incoming ventilation air stream. A controller may optionally be used to vary the speed of the fans and to implement additional modes of operation. In summer, when there is no requirement for mechanical ventilation water channels attached to the absorber may be used to transfer energy from incident solar radiation to a water supply as in a conventional solar water heater.

Patent GB-2378316-A (GB)
Title: Passive alignment microstructures for electroptical devices
Inventor: AMMER THOMAS
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 2001-07-30
Abstract: Alignment grooves or openings are formed by exposing and developing a photoresist layer formed over a substrate. The edges of the alignment features are rounded by subjecting the photoresist layer to an extended bake at elevated temperature which causes the photoresist to reflow. The rounded edges facilitate the mounting of optoelectronic components such as optical fibres and VCSELs on to the substrate in alignment with the openings or grooves of the photoresist pattern. Alternatively, the photoresist pattern with the rounded edges may be used as a master pattern for a replication mould, and alignment features may be formed by moulding sol-gel or UV curable polymer materials.
