Title: Separate high and low temperature control of electric frying pan
Inventor: MCCLEAN JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: A temperature control device for an electric heating element of an electric frying pan comprising: a high temperature controller 12 active above a predetermined temperature, a low temperature controller 14 active below the predetermined temperature, and means 13 to switch between the two temperature controllers 12, 14 at the predetermined temperature.

Title: Data compression with compensation for variations in compression rate
Inventor: CHO SUNG-RYUL
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 1998-12-17
Abstract: A data compression apparatus 100 has a dictionary of code words 120 matched to corresponding strings of characters. In a first embodiment, first and second consecutive strings of characters in an input stream are identified which match entries in the dictionary. The deviation in compression rate is evaluated 150 by comparing the first and second string lengths and, if this comparison is unacceptable, one or more characters are removed from the longer of the strings and tagged to the end of the shorter string 160 to form string pairs having the same or similar lengths. In a second embodiment (fig. 2) a previously matched string length is stored (230) and compared to the length of a current matched string (250). If necessary, the current string is replaced by an optimum matched string which has a length closer to that of the previously matched string.

Title: Exception handling in program code conversion
Inventor: RAWSTHORNE ALASDAIR
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1999-04-27
Abstract: A method of handling exceptions for use in an emulator performing program code conversion. Registers of a subject machine being emulated are represented by a pair of abstract registers on the target machine, suitably using memory locations of the target machine and/or any available target registers. One of the pair holds a definitive value at entry into a section of source code whilst the other holds a speculative value which is updated during translation and execution of that section of code. Exceptions are handled by recovering the conditions of the subject machine upon entry into the section of code using the definitive version of each abstract register. Conveniently, the function of the pair of registers is alternated upon successful completion of each section of source code. Advantageously, a definitive version of each register is always available for exception handling whilst avoiding time consuming copy and storing operations.

Title: Determining charge in water using matched electrodes
Inventor: BLANCHARD MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G01N27/60
Filed: 1999-10-13
Abstract: Changes in the charge of water containing dissolved oxygen are determined by using two matched stainless steel electrodes 1, 2 in contact with the water 12 and measuring the potential between the electrodes with voltmeter 3. The matched pair of electrodes are produced by bridging the electrodes by a voltmeter and acclimatising them in water. This condition is not a temporary phenomena but is maintained for as long as the electrodes are immersed in the water. The electrodes can be located in streams of water which converge, one of which may contain a substance which modifies the charge on a disperse phase in the other stream. The measurement of the effect of an ionically charged stream of water entering a main stream can be used in water treatment, industrial processes, and regulatory systems.

Patent GB-2357149-A (GB)
Title: MRI using non-homogeneous static field
Inventor: GOLAN ERES
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 1999-12-08
Abstract: An NMR probe 3 for imaging external surrounding material produces a non-homogeneous static magnetic field in a region of the material, which is then excited using broad band RF pulses. This allows the excited region 5 to have a greater volume than in conventional homogeneous field arrangements, and so the total received signal is increased. The probe may be integrated into an intravascular catheter and used for imaging blood vessel walls.
