Title: Brake system for a motor vehicle
Inventor: DOERICHT MICHAEL
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 1998-07-29
Abstract: A brake system 1 for a motor vehicle has electrically controlled wheel brake actuators 12, 26, operated, for example, by actuating the brake pedal. The brake actuators are included in first and second braking circuits 10, 28 which are supplied separately by electric power stores (batteries) 8, 24. A common generator unit 6 charges battery 8 directly and battery 24 via a charging device 22. In an alternative embodiment (Fig.2), the batteries are charged by individual generator units (6,31). The temperatures, terminal voltages and charging and discharging currents of the batteries are monitored by a unit 18, which also includes a buffer battery (44, Fig.4) to give warning of battery failure. If the generator unit(s) fail(s), and unit 18 detects a critical discharge of the batteries, the brakes are applied.

Title: Mobile radio and method of loading data into a radio
Inventor: TETZ KLAUS MARTIN
IPC: H04W8/24
Filed: 1998-09-29
Abstract: In a method of loading and updating data in a mobile radio, (110 fig.1) blocks of data (350, 360, 370 fig 3.) 450, 460, 470 in a codeplug (112) of the radio are structured so that data corresponding to a present version of the radio and data corresponding to an earlier version of the radio are stored separately from each other. This sub-division enables Radio Service Software (RSS) to download data from the codeplug, manipulate parts of the data which it can recognise and return unrecognised data (454) to the codeplug unchanged. A codeplug which is backwards compatible with old versions of the RSS is provided. The codeplug may also contain information about the size and/or structure of the blocks of data in the codeplug. The RSS can use this information as an index to the codeplug's contents. A further aspect relates to a method of updating data in the codeplug.
Patent GB-2328378-A (GB)
Title: Adaptable sanitary napkin
Inventor: BONELLI GUIDO
IPC: A61F13/56
Filed: 1997-04-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent articles, particularly sanitary napkins or panty liners, made for joining to the undergarment of a wearer. Such articles are typically joined to the undergarment of a wearer while the wearer has the undergarment lowered down and stretched between the legs. Underpants are available in different sizes according to the dimension of the wearer of such articles. Hence the same wearer will apply identical absorbent articles to undergarments of differing dimensions and may attempt to apply the article without regard to such difference. According to the present invention the absorbent articles are rendered adaptable at least in one direction to reduce wrinkling or folding of the absorbent article upon application to the undergarment and provide more consistently fitting articles despite the variation in undergarment dimensions.

Title: A key with a barcode and a lock with a barcode reader
Inventor: MARSDEN ANTHONY
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 1999-11-18
Abstract: A lock and key assembly comprises: a lock portion comprising a code reader and actuation means which enable a mechanical lock member to be moved from a locked position to an unlocked position; and a key member adapted to co-operate with the lock portion. The key member has a machine readable barcode marked on an internal elongate core and is surrounded by an opaque but infra-red transmissive cover. The core may be made from a light transmitting plastics material which is adapted to transmit light from a source within the lock to a position on the exterior part of the key, e.g the head. Such a core provides an indication as to whether the barcode on the key matches that to which the lock has been designed to respond. A mechanism, e.g. a ball-bearing and micro-switch, may be located within the lock to activate the optical circuitry of the code reader when the key is inserted into the lock. Key codes may be remotely programmed into the lock from a host computer system over a hard-wired communications line. The lock and key assembly would be suitable for use in a hotel environment.

Title: Fluid flow rate measurement utilising a floating sensor
Inventor: SCHRADER HARTMUT
IPC: G01P5/00
Filed: 1999-11-19
Abstract: The present invention provides a fluid flow measurement system for an oil well drilling system that includes a supply of drilling fluid to a wellbore under pressure and a return line carrying fluid leaving the wellbore during drilling of the wellbore. The system includes at least one floating sensor (150) in the return line that provides a measure of the velocity of the fluid in the return line. The sensor may be a thermal sensor, an electromagnetic sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. A height sensor (161A-C) provides the fluid level in the return line and a density sensor (165) provides the density of the returning fluid. A controller determines the inflow rate and out flow rate of the drilling fluid and further determines the presence of a kick and wash out from the flow rates. The system also determines the operating condition of the pumps supplying fluid to the wellbore.

Title: Process and apparatus for coffee making
Inventor: ACKERMANN ANTON
IPC: G07F9/10
Filed: 1994-10-21
Abstract: In a method for preparing coffee drinks with the help of a plurality of coffee powder portions arranged along a transporting tape, a single coffee powder portion is removed from a storage container by pulling out the transporting tape to such an extent that the following coffee powder portions remain in the container. Then, the tape is cut behind the first coffee powder portion, and the new initial portion of the transporting tape is fixed in the region of the outlet opening of the container. In this way, the unused coffee powder portions remain fresh and keep their full flavor, even during an extended storage period. The coffee machine suitable for performing this method comprises a two part brewing chamber. One portion of the brewing chamber is not only movable to and fro the other portion, but also rotatable and furthermore equipped with a catch member for grasping the initial portion of the transporting tape.

Title: Apparatus for treating exhaust gas of ash melting furnace
Inventor: NISHINO JUNYA
IPC: B01D53/34
Filed: 1998-01-22
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To heat-decompose dioxin contained in exhaust gas and to facilitate the pretreatment of heavy metal smelting by placing a plasma heater between an ash melting furnace and a wet type exhaust gas treatment apparatus. SOLUTION: Exhaust gas 5 from an ash melting furnace 1 is heated by a plasma heater 2 before being introduce to a wet type exhaust gas treatment apparatus 3. The exhaust gas 5 from the direct current resistance type ash melting furnace 1 is mixed with plasma flame in the heater 2 to be heated at 1,000 deg.C or higher. By the heating, CO gas is burned and dioxine is decomposed. Heavy metal compounds of lead and others are converted into oxides in the presence of oxygen. The exhaust gas discharged from the plasma heater 2 is cooled rapidly in the apparatus 3 to prevent the resynthesis of dioxin. Since heavy metals such as lead are converted into oxide, only heavy metal oxides or hydroxides are contained in the filtlate of an absorption liquid 6, facilitating the pretreatment of heavy metal smelting.
