Patent CH-502834-A (CH)
Title: Spray crystallisation of microcrystalline su - pensions
Inventor: TETSU FURUKAWA
IPC: B01D9/00
Filed: 1967-11-10
Abstract: Aqs. suspension of a microcrystalline substance is subjected to spray-drying under such conditions that round grains are obtd. which contain a small amount of water, so that the substance(s) dissolved in the concentrated liquid phase contained in the grain can crystallize. The grains may also contain agglomerates of microcrystalline crystalloids. Insoluble powders, dyestuffs, and other additives may be introduced before the spray-drying. This novel "spray-crystallisation" method leads to the formation of crystalline grains from dense concentrates containing crystalloids of pure or mixed substances, such as glucose, dextrose, etc.

Patent GB-2363000-A (GB)
Title: Phase compensation for an antenna array
Inventor: WILDEY CHRISTOPHER GEORGE
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: An antenna 3 e.g. a phased array antenna, in space receives a beacon signal from an earth based beacon station 9 at at least one of a plurality of antenna elements which make up the array 8. The beacon signal is passed to the beacon signal processor which determines the phase differences between the signal received at different antenna elements.. The phase differences provide a measure of the physical displacement of the antenna structure resulting from, for example, gravitational forces. To correct for the effect of the displacement, phase compensation signals are generated corresponding to the phase differences and are applied to the communications signals being transmitted from and received at the antenna elements.

Filed: 2000-06-26
Abstract: A carder for articles such as disposable cups is formed by folding a blank so that its ends meet and are secured together by a projection 1 at one end of the blank passing though a slit 13 at the other end. The projection 1 may be a handle usable when the carrier is held in the Figure 3 orientation with a cup located within the loop formed by the folded blank. The blank also has an aperture 8 between its ends so that a supported cup can extend though the opening when the carrier is in the Figure 2 orientation. The carrier can also be inverted from the latter orientation so that a cup may be suspended from it, Figure 4. The aperture 8 is opposite to the engaged ends of the folded blank, the ends being held together by a tab arrangement 16, 17. There may be several apertures 8 to receive respective cups, Figures 21-23 and 26-28.

Patent GB-2358907-A (GB)
Title: Cool air circulation apparatus in a refrigerator
Inventor: JEONG JAE-YOUK
IPC: F25D17/06
Filed: 1998-12-14
Abstract: A cool air circulation apparatus in a refrigerator provides an upper curved lip (52) extended from a front face of a lower shelf (149B) in a refrigerating chamber (200), by which cool air contacting with ambient air is discharged outside of the refrigerator and only the cool air adjacent to the refrigerating chamber flows into the refrigerating chamber. Accordingly, even though a door of the refrigerating chamber is open for a long time or is opened and closed frequently, ambient air does not enter into the refrigerating chamber and thus cooling efficiency of the refrigerator increases. As a result, a constant temperature in the refrigerating chamber is maintained at all times, thereby being capable of maintaining freshness of stored foods for a long time.
Patent GB-2366495-A (GB)
Title: Viterbi decoder with high-speed processing function
Inventor: TAKAHASHI HIDEAKI
IPC: H03M13/41
Filed: 2001-05-11
Abstract: A Viterbi decoder includes a path metric memory 7, a path memory 11, a branch metric generating section 1 and one or more ACS (add, compare, select) units. Each ACS unit receives branch metric data at a time T and path metric data from the path metric memory to calculate a "temporal" path metric at a time T+1. The "temporal" path metric data is directly fed back as an input to the ACS unit without writing this data to the path metric memory. Each ACS unit uses the "temporal" path metric and branch metric data at a time T+1 to calculate a new path metric at a time T+2. The new path metric is in turn stored in the path metric memory and the whole process is repeated. By omitting the write/read operations in respect of path metrics at time T+1 the number of memory read/write operations are reduced by half, leading to increased processing speed and lower power consumption.

Abstract: Satellite communications systems include a base station configured to communicate messages to disadvantaged mobile radiotelephone terminals. A mobile radiotelephone terminal receives a communication from a base station via a first high power paging channel and, if disadvantaged, monitors a second high power forward-only radiotelephone channel identified in the communication. The base station, upon determining that the mobile radiotelephone is disadvantaged, broadcasts the pending message to the mobile radiotelephone terminal via the second forward-only radiotelephone channel.

Abstract: A golf club comprises a bent or curved shaft 53 with a long butt portion 56 and a relatively short tip 54 portion which extends at an angle relative to the butt portion when viewed from the front face 47 of the club head 44, whilst the shaft tip 54 connected to the hosel 52 also extends upward away from the centre of gravity CG1 of the club head 44 when viewed from the side. The curved shaft 53 may have two axes 55,57 which move the shaft 53 forward relative to the centre of gravity CG1 increasing the torsional stability of the club head 44 and encouraging the club head to stay square throughout the swing and impact. The butt portion 56 when viewed from the front of the club head face 47 extends upwardly away from the club head 44 at an angle to the horizontal ground plane to establish the lie angle of the club.

Title: A combination rake and hoe
Inventor: RAMSAY AL
IPC: A01D11/06
Filed: 2002-10-26
Abstract: A garden hand tool in which both a rake head and a hoe head are pivotally mounted on the end of a shaft. To use one of the heads, it is pushed into a working position and held there by the engagement of a catch with a flange. After use, pulling of a handle on the shaft pulls a wire which releases the hold of the flange on the catch. Once the head is released it is returned to a rest position by the action of a spring. When not in use both heads are retracted to the rest position in which they are folded back against the shaft.

Patent GB-2390679-A (GB)
Title: Optical pulse testing device
Inventor: ARAKI TETSUYA
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 2003-02-28
Abstract: A device for testing an optical fibre comprises a light source 3 capable of inputting an optical pulse into the optical fibre and two detectors 6A, 6B for detecting each of two specific wavelengths   g  1,   g  2 in the optical pulse when it is returned from a point along the optical fibre. A timing pulse generator 2 outputs a sampling pulse and a delay control signal. Light is detected at the first detector 6A according to the sampling pulse. A second sampling pulse is output by the delaying section 7, in accordance with the delay control signal, to control the second detector 6B. The time delay between detection of the first wavelength   g  1 and the second wavelength   g  2 is determined by the difference in propagation rates at the two wavelengths. As an alternative to having the second detector, the first wavelength may be detected on its own, with a time delay determined by the difference between propagation of light at the first wavelength and light at a reference wavelength.
