Title: Tinting plastic articles
Inventor: RYSER CHRISTOPHE U
IPC: D06L4/60
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: Plastic articles, especially plastic optical lenses are tinted by immersing the plastic article in an aqueous dispersion of tinting agent and exposing the dispersion and immersed article to microwave radiation to bring the dispersion to ebullition; the ebullition is maintained for at least 2 seconds with transfer of tinting agent from the dispersion to the article to tint the article; the tinted article is removed from the dispersion and rinsed with water. The method achieves tinting in significantly shorter times than conventional methods and employs water-based dispersions thereby avoiding emission of vapors of organic solvents.

Title: Apparatus for storing voice messages in a wireless telephone system
Inventor: LAROCCA PETER
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 1998-02-26
Abstract: A voice mail system is provided in a CDMA wireless telephone system in which a base station controller (BSC) stores, in a encoded format, voice data transmitted by a wireless telephone to a receiving telephone, either wireless or fixed telephone, when the receiving telephone does not "pick up". Also, the base station controller encodes and then stores voice data that is transmitted by a fixed telephone to a wireless telephone when the wireless telephone does not "pick up". In either case, to retrieve voice mail the intended recipient can access the voice mail from a fixed telephone, in which case the voice mail is decoded at the BSC and then sent to the fixed telephone via a landline. Alternatively, the intended recipient can access the voice mail from a wireless telephone in the system, in which case the voice mail is not decoded at the BSC, but is transmitted directly to the wireless telephone, where the message is decoded. In any case, the voice mail undergoes only a single encoding/decoding process, thereby improving the sound quality of the retrieved voice mail messages compared to systems in which tandem vocoding occurs.

Patent AU-6708800-A (AU)
Title: Electrical machines
Inventor: POLLOCK CHARLES
IPC: H02P1/16
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: An electrical machine comprises a rotor without windings, a stator having an armature winding 24, 25 and a field winding 10 for generating a magnetomotive force in a direction extending transversely of the magnetomotive force generated by the armature winding. An electronic circuit 40 is provided for controlling the current in the armature winding 24, 25 such that periods in which a magnetomotive force in one direction is associated with a first current pulse alternate with periods in which a magnetomotive force in the opposite direction is associated with a second current pulse. A position sensor is provided for monitoring the rotational position of the rotor and for supplying output signals at a rate dependent on the speed of rotation of the rotor. Furthermore a control system supplies control signals to the circuit 40 to control the current in the armature winding 24, 25 in response to the output signals. The control system uses a control signal of extended duration at the beginning of the first current pulse on start-up of the motor from rest as compared with the duration of the control signals produced over the remainder of the first current pulse during acceleration of the rotor. Such an arrangement produces efficient starting from rest, and enables control of acceleration, no-load speed, loaded torque-speed characteristics of the machine to be achieved with simple on-off control of armature and field switching devices, so that the control circuitry can be produced at relatively low cost. Simplification of the control circuitry is further ensured by the fact that such control can be effected without current sensing.
