Title: Glove box latch
Inventor: VITRY FABRICE
IPC: E05B65/12
Filed: 2007-03-16
Abstract: A slam-to-close, glove box latch includes a housing 53 and a pull handle 55 and a bolt 57 both pivoted thereon. A lock member 59 is slidable in the housing under the control of the handle 55 by an engagement between member ends 79 and handle slots 77. When the glove box is closed a striker engages into slot 143 and turns the bolt to the closed position (fig. 22).where it is retained by member 59. The handle 55 is spring biased to the closed position abut when pulled it retracts the member 59 to release the bolt 57 by. The released bolt 57 is spring biased to the open position (fig. 25) but the closing bias of the handle urges a surface 119 of the member 59 against the edge 123 of the bolt in an interference abutment which maintains the handle in an open position. Closure rotates the bolt allowing the member 59 to extend beneath formation 145 thereby allowing the handle to close under bias.

Title: Detecting RFID tags using antenna system which switches between two electromagnetic field patterns to eliminate dead-zones
Inventor: TERESZCZAK MARK
IPC: A01K11/00
Filed: 2008-06-25
Abstract: A method for energising and detecting RFID transponders in which a phase relationship between first and second power signals used to power first 34 and second 36 parts of an antenna 24 is repeatedly switched to produce two different field patterns. The regions which may allow transponders having a certain orientation to escape detection may be different for each phase relationship. By selecting the phase relationships appropriately and performing the phase switching at a rate to ensure that any transponder travelling through the antenna range is exposed to each field pattern, the probability of a transponder escaping detection can be reduced. The phase switching may occur during the transition between a transmitting period and a listening period. The method is particularly useful for detecting tags on livestock.
