Patent GB-0128816-D0 (GB)
Title: Materials processing method and apparatus
IPC: C22B5/04
Filed: 2001-12-01
Abstract: The subject invention pertains to methods for processing a solid material (M1X) comprising a solid solution of a non-metal species (X) in a metal or semi-metal (M1) or a compound between the non-metal species and the metal or semi-metal is immersed in a molten salt (M2Y). A cathodic potential is applied to the material to remove a portion of the non-metal species by electro-deoxidation. To remove the non-metal species at lower concentrations, a source of a reactive metal (M3) is immersed in the molten salt and is electronically connected to the material. Reactions occur at the material, where the non-metal species dissolves in the salt, and at the reactive metal, which reacts with the non-metal species dissolved in the salt to form a reaction product more stable than a compound between the non-metal species and the metal or semi-metal (M1). The non-metal species is thus removed from the solid material.

Title: A process for removing pyrophoric catalyst
IPC: B01J25/04
Filed: 2000-12-18
Abstract: Spent pyrophoric reaction catalyst from a reaction mixture is removed safely, cheaply, and rapidly using a single plate pressure filter. After hydrogenation, the reaction mixture is decanted, the desired hydrogenation product is removed, and catalyst-rich material which settles at the bottom of the vessel is delivered to a single plate pressure filter fitted with a filter bag 40 of permeable material. The spent catalyst is retained in the filter bag 40 and stored under water awaiting recovery. The filter apparatus 1 comprises a container having a domed base 2 , a generally cylindrical sidewall 3 terminating in an upper rim 4 closed by a lid 5 having lifting lugs 6 . The lid 5 is fixed in pressure-tight engagement with the sidewall 3 by flange engaging screw clamps 7 and an embedded polytetrafluoroethene gasket 8 . The filter bag 40 is held in position by a band 11 and may be readily released for removal of the spent catalyst material. The bag 40 may be reused.

Title: Array synchronization
IPC: G06F1/12
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: A method is disclosed for achieving synchronization in an array of semi-synchronous devices. A processor array has an array of processor elements, wherein each of said processor elements comprises a cycle counter, and a master processor element is able to transmit control command signals to each of the other processor elements. Each processor element is such that, on receipt of a control command signal, it acts on that signal only when its cycle counter reaches a predetermined value, and the master processor element is such that it transmits control command signals only when its cycle counter takes a value which is within a predetermined range, or "safe window". By appropriate setting of the "safe window", it can be guaranteed that, when the master processor element transmits a control command signal to each of the other processor elements, those command control signals are acted upon at corresponding times within the other processor elements.

Patent GB-0408676-D0 (GB)
Title: A data access,replication or communication system comprising a distributed software application
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2004-04-19
Abstract: A data access, replication or communications system is distributed across a terminal-side executable running on a terminal and a server-side executable. Together the terminal-side executable and the server-side executable form a client to a larger server and collaborate by sending messages using a message queuing system over a network. The larger server can be, for example, a mail server. Splitting the client into a terminal-side executable and a server-side executable allows a terminal, such as mobile device with limited processing capacity, power, and connectivity, to enjoy the functionality of full-featured client access to a server environment using minimum resources on the mobile device by distributing some of the functionality normally associated with the client onto the server side executable, which is not so resource constrained.

Title: Signal coding
IPC: H04N19/94
Filed: 1987-10-19
Abstract: The current frame of the picture is compared (2) block-by-block with the previous frame to identify changed picture elements (pixels). The resulting matrix is matched ('vector quantised') (4) to one of a set of standard matrices ('VQ shapes'). Only those pixels flagged by the selected VQ shape are transmitted plus a "VQ shape code". This technique is modified in that the current frame is also compared (30) with a "background" frame stored (31) at the transmitter and at the receiver. Where, for any block, all the pixels flagged by the VQ shape are indicated by the second comparison as being the same as the background, the pixels are not sent - instead a shape code plus a "copy background" instruction is transmitted.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB92/01387 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 24, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 24, 1994 PCT Filed Jul. 21, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/03280 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 18, 1993.A pump comprises a flexible diaphragm (10) separating a pumping chamber (12) for the fluid to be pumped from a driving chamber (14) for a pressure fluid operating the pump. An outlet (24) for the pressure fluid from the driving chamber is controlled by a valve element (28) that is molded integrally with the diaphragm and with a tension element (36) that draws the valve element to its closing position. Deflection of the diaphragm by the pressure fluid pumps fluid from the pumping chamber and as the deflection increases the valved outlet of the driving chamber is opened against the force of the tension element. Release of the pressure in the driving chamber allows the valve to close again and the tension element ensures that it returns to a position sealing the driving chamber outlet.

Title: Container/closure combinations
IPC: B65D47/24
Filed: 1992-02-25
Abstract: A dispensing screw closure with a dispensing aperture 26 is mounted on the neck of a squeeze bottle 30 for limited angular and axial movement. In a lowered position of the closure a dispensing aperture 26 is closed by a plug member 28 of the container. The closure has an outer skirt which carries elongate flexible fins 70 for engagement with lugs 64 on the container neck for child-resistance. The fins are disengageable from the lugs by pinching the outer skirt at pads 80 spaced angularly by 90 DEG  from the lugs. Further lugs on the container neck are engaged by the fins to provide a limit to closure movement in the opening direction. At this angular position the outer skirt is restrained against deformation, and it is therefore not possible to release the engagement by pinching the outer skirt. <IMAGE>

Thus, the processor is forced to fetch the next instruction from main memory. The instruction is then provided on the memory bus as though it is fetched from the main memory in response to the read cycle resulting from the cache miss.
