Title: An airbag having a rupturable vent
Inventor: MCCASKEY MARTINA
IPC: B60R21/239
Filed: 1997-08-27
Abstract: An airbag made from cushion fabric 1 is formed with a vent which has at least one weak surface portion which maintains the surface integrity of the bag when the pressure inside is below a predetermined value, but is adapted to rupture when the pressure exceeds the predetermined value. The vent may take the form of an aperture 2 covered by a cover member 4 which is larger than the aperture 2 and be fixed to the cushion fabric 1 by stitching 5 around at least a portion of its periphery. A reinforcing layer 3 may be fixed by stitching or adhesive around the periphery of the aperture 2 thus forming an envelope with the cushion fabric 1 inside which the cover member 4 is housed. The reinforcing layer 3 may be made of a material which is relatively stiff so that it stays in place until the pressure exceeds the aforementioned predetermined pressure and the vent cover is pushed away from the aperture releasing the gas. The exact nature of the stitching and materials can be chosen to provide specific venting characteristics.

Title: Float valve for W.C. cistern
Inventor: WILLIAMS ADAM J
IPC: F16K31/385
Filed: 1997-12-24
Abstract: Float controlled valve of the equilibrium type has a flexible diaphragm 38 coacting with a valve seat 32 to shut off inflow and carrying an apertured insert 42 with a slow bleed monitoring pin 44. Water pressure on opposite sides of the diaphragm is kept substantially in equilibrium so that when a lever mounted float 58 (fig 1) drops a bleed aperture unseats the diaphragm by a small change in pressure differential. An upstream filter 28, the seat, the diaphragm, and locating components all snap fit together to form a single unit to be inserted and removed from a main body 10. The float may have stem (56) in screwthreaded engagement with the end of the lever. A pawl (90, Figure 6) resiliently engaging a groove in stem (56) to resist relative rotation. The valve may also have an outlet formation having integrally moulded components which form an air bleed valve which prevents back-flow siphonage (see Figures 4 and 5).

Title: Method of measuring a standing wave ratio in a mobile communication system
Inventor: KOH KWANG-IL
IPC: G01R29/10
Filed: 1998-01-20
Abstract: A method of measuring a standing wave ratio comprises providing a signal to an antenna, measuring the strength of the resulting forward and reflected signals and calculating the standing wave ratio from the strength of the said forward and reflected signals. The standing wave ratio may be calculated from the difference between the strength of the forward and reflected signals. Alternatively a variable attenuator 290 may be adjusted to attain a prescribed relationship between the forward and reflected signals and the required attenuation value is then used to calculate the standing wave ratio. These methods may be employed to test the operation of a mobile communication system base station and its associated antennas for operation in transmission and reception modes. The method may involve the generation or transmission of a test signal by or via a portable radio telephone.

Title: Nuclear magnetic resonance well logging
Inventor: TAICHER GERSH ZVI
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 1998-03-23
Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance sensing apparatus (60 suitable for well-logging includes a magnet (62) for inducing a static magnetic field within materials to be analyzed, which is substantially coaxial with a longitudinal axis (78) of the apparatus. The magnetic field is polarized substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis and is symmetric about the axis, and has a maximum longitudinal gradient which is inversely related to a speed of motion of the apparatus along the longitudinal axis through the materials to be analyzed. The apparatus includes a transmitter (67) for generating a radio frequency magnetic field in the materials for exciting nuclei in the materials, which is substantially orthogonal to the static magnetic field. The apparatus includes a receiver (67) for detecting nuclear magnetic resonance signals from the excited nuclei in the materials. In a preferred embodiment, the magnet comprises magnetized cylinders (61, figure 4) stacked along the longitudinal axis. The magnetization of each of cylinder is proportional to its distance from a center plane of the magnet. The cylinders are magnetized parallel to the longitudinal axis and towards the center plane. The preferred embodiment of the magnet includes an end magnet (64, figure 5) disposed at each longitudinal end of the stacked cylinders. The end magnets are each magnetized parallel to the longitudinal axis and in a direction opposite to the magnetization of an adjacent one of the cylinders.

Title: Automatic redial for cellular phone
Inventor: TODA TOSHIYUKI
IPC: H04M1/2749
Filed: 1998-05-19
Abstract: A cellular phone which, when a communication channel is disconnected because of a deterioration in field strength while a call is in progress, waits for recovery of the field strength and reinitiates the call. The phone stores the number dialled if the call was outgoing or receives from a calling party their telephone number if the call was incoming, in order to reestablish the call. If a telephone number is not received from a calling party, the user of the mobile may be notified of this and asked to input the number manually. A timer may be provided to prevent reestablishment of a call after a predetermined period from the disconnection of the call.
Patent GB-2330647-A (GB)
Title: Vehicle safety foot pedal
Inventor: BASNETT MICHAEL NEIL
IPC: B60T7/06
Filed: 1998-09-01
Abstract: The pedal, eg a vehicle brake, clutch or accelerator pedal, has a heel brace portion 13 or 113, below the foot pad 10 or 110, which limits forward movement of the heel relative to the foot pad in a collision, thus reducing injury to the ankle. In figure 1, the heel brace 13 is pivotally attached to the pedal 5 and has a support plate 19 and a travel limit stop 21. Application of a force in the direction P by the heel 24, eg in a frontal impact, is resisted by the abutment surface 16 of the stop 21 reacting against the lever 5. A spring 15 keeps the parts in the position shown during normal use but the pivot action prevents the heel brace 13 from becoming caught on the floor 25 if the pedal is depressed further than normal. In the modification of figure 4, the foot pad 110 and the heel brace 113 are formed as portions of a continuous rigid plate. Under high impact, the heel brace portion 113 can enter a depression 126 in the vehicle floor 125.

Date Jun. 1, 1995In a drying cartridge for air drying installations, especially for vehicle air-brake systems, an air drying agent is contained inside an outer pot, the base region of which can be closed off by a face cover. A central screw with a thread at its end passing through the face cover and securable to the dryer casing extends axially and centrally through the drying cartridge. The face cover, which may be made of thin plastic, can move to a limited extent in relation to the outer pot of the drying cartridge and is secured by clamping or friction to an O-ring which in turn is introduced into an annular groove in the central screw such that, after the drying cartridge has been released from the dryer casing, the cartridge can still be handled as a structural unit. All that is necessary to dispose of the filter and granulate material (drying agent) in the drying cartridge is to move the face cover inwards in relation to the outer pressure of the drying cartridge in order to release the frictional and clamping connection with the O-ring and then completely dismantle the individual components of the cartridge.
