Patent GB-2345180-B (GB)
Title: Method for verifying the identity of a passenger
Inventor: AL-SHEIKH ZAHER
IPC: G07B15/00
Filed: 1998-09-23
Granted: 2002-04-10
Abstract: A conveyance boarding pass includes a human cognizable image of a passenger as well as the travel itinerary details. The human cognizable image is collected using a device capable of generating an electronic image at a time when the identification of the passenger is verified. Upon presenting the boarding pass the identity of the bearer is checked against the human cognizable image on the boarding pass to maintain the security of the transport system. The electronic image optionally is stored in a computer database in combination with the travel itinerary details for further security and other uses.
Patent GB-2408822-B (GB)
Title: Mechanism for implementing server-side pluglets
Inventor: KARIM RON
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-09-26
Granted: 2005-12-28
Abstract: A server-centric approach is disclosed for enabling a browser to handle content types that it cannot inherently process. Rather than executing plug-ins on a client, pluglets are executed on one or more servers. A pluglet can perform any function that a plug-in can perform. Because a pluglet resides and executes on a server, the shortcomings of the plug-in approach are overcome. Specifically, a client no longer needs to have large amounts of storage and processing resources since pluglets do not run on clients. Also, a user no longer needs to install plug-ins on a client. In addition, maintenance of the overall system is greatly simplified. To replace, add, or remove functionality, all that needs to be done is to replace, add, or remove pluglets from a relatively small number of servers. It is no longer necessary to maintain plug-ins on a relatively large number of clients. Thus, the server-centric approach enables the benefits of plug-in technology to be realized, but does so without suffering the associated shortcomings.

Title: Fused multiply-add functional unit
Inventor: OBERMAN STUART F
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 2008-11-25
Granted: 2010-05-05
Abstract: A functional unit is added to a graphics processor to provide direct support for double-precision arithmetic, in addition to the single-precision functional units used for rendering. The double-precision functional unit can execute a number of different operations, including fused multiply-add, on double-precision inputs using data paths and/or logic circuits that are at least double-precision width. The double-precision and single-precision functional units can be controlled by a shared instruction issue circuit, and the number of copies of the double-precision functional unit included in a core can be less than the number of copies of the single-precision functional units, thereby reducing the effect of adding support for double-precision on chip area.

Title: Photo-elastic sensor
Inventor: PITT GILLIES DAVID
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 1984-04-28
Granted: 1987-09-16
Abstract: Certain materials (e.g. polymers, glasses) exhibit the photo-elastic effect, whereby when they are subject to stress become birefringent, which influences a light beam passing through the glass. This beam, e.g. from a laser (1) is collimated and circularly polarised as it approaches the glass (4) and is again polarised as it leaves the glass. This stress is applied, according to this invention, by magnetostrictive strips on the glass which are influenced, by the magnetic field to be measured or the AC bias field. A miniaturised arrangement using this principle is described.

Title: Article with refractory coating
Inventor: O'BRIEN JAMES MARTIN
IPC: H01B3/10
Filed: 1984-07-09
Granted: 1987-12-31
Abstract: A metallic conductor for an electrical wire or cable comprises a bundle of metallic strands 1 and is provided with an adherent electrically insulating refractory coating 2. The coating extends around the circumference of the bundle but not around the individual strands. The coating may be applied by a vacuum deposition process such as a sputter ion plating method. Adhesion of the coating may be improved by the provision of a metallic or refractory intermediate layer and/or by varying the stoichiometry of the coating through its thickness. Wires using the conductors are particularly suitable for use in circuit and signal integrity cables.

Abstract: In an optical transmission system, e.g. of the ring or bus type, the same optical transmission path is used to convey both wavelength-division- multiplexed (WDM) light and light for point-to-point links. In one example the WDM light is centred on a wavelength of 1.5 mu m, and the point-to-point links use light at 1.3 mu m. At the nodes wavelength-selective optical couplers (1,2,3,4) are used to couple or connect the receivers and the transmitters to the transmission paths. <IMAGE>

Title: Composition for inhibiting intimal hyperplasia using PDGF antagonists and heparin
Inventor: HART CHARLES E
IPC: A61P7/00
Filed: 1995-12-20
Granted: 1998-10-28
Abstract: Methods for inhibiting intimal hyperplasia in the vasculature of mammals, including primates, are disclosed. The methods comprise administering to the mammal an anti-PDGF receptor antibody, such as an anti-PDGF-alpha receptor antibody or an anti-PDGF-beta receptor antibody. The methods are useful in reducing intimal hyperplasia due to, for example, vascular injuries resulting from angioplasty, endarterectomy, reduction atherectomy or anastomosis of a vascular graft. The anti-PDGF receptor antibodies may optionally be administered coordinately with heparin, whereby the coordinately administered antibody and heparin are combinatorially effective in inhibiting intimal hyperplasia.

Title: Monitoring of connection between network devices in a packet-based communication system
Inventor: POULTER ALAN ROGER
IPC: H04L12/939
Filed: 1999-05-08
Granted: 2001-07-18
Abstract: The invention concerns the establishment of the rate of transmission of data between two network stations by means of auto-negotiation. The execution of an auto-negotiation sequence by a state machine is counted and if the number of executions of the sequence exceeds a threshold, the auto-negotiation sequence is modified to establish a data rate lower than a previously negotiated rate. A particular example is described for use in accordance with IEEE standard 802.3. In a specific example, monitoring of the execution of the auto-negotiation sequence comprises counting the occurrences of a "page received' bit in an auto-negotiation expansion register.

Granted: 1986-11-12
Abstract: Two ramps (5,6) are rigidly connected to support at least one pair of the vehicle wheels. One or more single acting hydraulic cylinders can raise the ramps from their position with the free ends resting on the floor. Pivots (5b) on the floor-mounted supports (1,2) near one end of the rams allowing raising of the vehicle wheels. An automatic distributing valve located in the hydraulic system, co-operates with a safety check valve to prevent unintentional lowering of the ramps. The sides can be connected by removable crosspieces (3,4) one having a locking mechanism for holding at an adjustable position on the floor. This then acts as an abutment for the front wheels of the vehicle. Screws in threaded holes can lock the ramp in its raised position, so that accidental collapse cannot occur.

Title: Fuel injection pump with improved fuel metering
Inventor: LAKRA PAUL
IPC: F02M/
Filed: 1980-04-18
Granted: 1986-10-10
Abstract: The injection pump has a piston device (10,13) in a hole (11,12) and a bleed-off (20) from one end of the hole. The bleed-off is connected to an outlet of the nozzle (21). A fuel inlet is located at that end of the hole connected to a source of pressurised fuel. A valve prevents fuel flowing through this inlet whilst fuel is being delivered through the outlet. A plunger piston (24) moves backwards and forwards in a cylinder (33). A cam (25) moves the plunger piston to one end of the cylinder. A coupling hole (34) connects the end of the cylinder to the other end of the hole (11) so that pumped fluid acts on the piston when the plunger piston is moved by the cam. Consequently, the piston (10) that conveys the fuel through the bleed-off is moved. A solenoid-controlled valve permits fluid flow from the other end of the bore. A measuring valve transducer generates a signal indicating the piston's position. A control circuit is initiated by this signal to control the valve's operation. This circuit also receives demand and engine speed signals.
