Patent GB-2325259-A (GB)
Title: Sound deadening panels
Inventor: MACKENZIE ROBIN KENNETH
IPC: E04B9/00
Filed: 1997-03-06
Abstract: A sound deadening panel (2) for attachment to a wall, floor or ceiling structure is of variable thickness over its area to provide acoustic insulation characteristics essentially by sound reflection rather than by absorption. The panel (2) is planar on its exposed surface so as to be available for decoration but on its near surface is profiled due to the variation in thickness. The profiling may be continuous or in discrete steps.

Title: Mobile phone with adaptive user interface
Inventor: BOND JEFFREY
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1999-01-09
Abstract: When composing a message using the keys of a mobile phone, an alphanumeric group of characters associated with one of the keys is presented on a display. Selection of one of the characters from the group of displayed characters is simplified by a computation within the phone. The computation provides estimates of the probability of selection of each character within the group. Those characters most likely to be selected can be included into the message faster and more easily than characters whose selection is unlikely. The probability estimates are based on previous inputs to a particular phone and are continuously updated to be specific to the style of the user. Numerals are assigned a higher probability than letters for all alphanumeric groups when a numeral is entered via any key.

Title: Power supply apparatus for suppressing harmonics
Inventor: YEOM SUN-KILL
IPC: F24F11/02

Title: Data bus drive circuit for semiconductor memory device
Inventor: LEE JAE JIN
IPC: G11C7/10
Filed: 1996-07-01
Abstract: A data bus drive circuit for a semiconductor memory device comprises true and complementary data buses (db, dbb) for transferring true and complementary data from outside of the semiconductor memory device or from memory cells in the semiconductor memory device. An external read/write control signal is applied by way of a first control line (14), and an external precharge command signal is applied to a second control line (15). A read precharge circuit (200) is arranged to switch a voltage from a first voltage source (Vcc) to the true and complementary data buses in response to the read/write control signal from the first control line (14). A write precharge circuit (300) switches a voltage from a second voltage source (Vcc/2) to the true and complementary data buses in response to the read/write control signal from the first control line (14). A control circuit (100) selectively applies the read/write control signal from the first control line (14) to the read or write precharge circuits (200, 300) in response to the precharge command signal from the second control line (15). Thus, the data bus can be precharged with half the supply voltage after a write operation is performed. By this means, the data bus drive circuit can enhance the operational speed of the semiconductor memory device and reduce the power consumption thereof.

Title: Method of non-oxidizing water cooling for hot steel slab
Inventor: MATSUNO FUMIO
IPC: C21D1/00
Filed: 1987-01-19
Abstract: PURPOSE:To execute cooling process of a hot steel slab under non-oxidizing condition by using cooling water adding one kind or more among petroleum fractionating material, coal hydrocarbon contents, vegetable fat and oil or animal fat and oil together with surface active agent at the specific quantity. CONSTITUTION:One kind or more among the petroleum fractionating material, coal hydrocarbon contents, vegetable fat and oil of rapeseed oil, etc., or the animal fat and oil of beef tallow, etc., are added to the water together with the surface active agent at least >=2vol.%, and emulsified and suspended. The surface of the heat steel slab is covered and cooled by this as cooling water. The cooling water is rapidly heated by hot steel slab and the oil or the fat is rapidly vaporized and decomposited into H2, CO, CH3, etc., by high temp. Therefore, the hot steel slab is covered by low oxygen potential atmosphere of H2O, H2, CO, CH3, etc. By this method, oxidizing speed of the hot slab is reduced and deterioration of surface quality of development of crack, etc., in the steel caused by scale is prevented.
