Title: Introducing ultrasound into a liquid containing chamber
Inventor: JENNINGS HOWARD TIMOTHY
IPC: B08B3/12
Filed: 1995-10-05
Abstract: A method of introducing ultrasound into a liquid containing chamber such as a pipe 12 comprises forming an annular liquid filled region 16 around the chamber and introducing ultrasound through transducers 28 into the region and thereby into the chamber. The annular region may be defined by an annular metal sleeve 14 and spaced apart sealing means 18, the transducers being coupled externally to the annular sleeve. The sealing means may be flexible sealing members such as endless fluid or gas filled tubes (46, 48 figure 3) or flexible lip seals (51, 52 figure 4). The peak energy of the ultrasound may occur near an internal surface of the chamber and cause cavitation of the liquid at that surface. The liquid in the annular region may be the same or different to that in the chamber, it may be in contact with the chamber wall and may be at a higher pressure than that in the chamber, which may contain a mild chemical reagent to assist in descaling the inside surface of the chamber, the reactivity of the reagent being increased by the ultrasound.

Title: Driving tunnels for sewage systems
Inventor: JOHN HANS-JUERGEN
IPC: E03F3/06
Filed: 1996-03-26
Abstract: A method and device for keeping a sewage system comprising a main drain and a feeder drain in service during construction or reconstruction of the main drain is disclosed.

Title: Electrically heated water boiling vessels
Inventor: O'NEILL ROBERT ANDREW
IPC: A47J27/21
Filed: 1996-10-16
Abstract: An electrically heated water boiling vessel incorporating a planar heating element 2 has an element protector control 9 for switching off the supply of electricity to the heating element 2 in response to a sensed element overtemperature condition and a steam sensor 10 for switching off the heating element 2 in response to the generation of steam when water is boiled in the vessel. The element protector control 9 and the steam sensor 10 are located in a bottom part of the vessel which is compartmentalized so as to segregate the potentially wetted environment of the steam sensor 10 from the element protector control 9 and thereby avoid electrical problems. The planar heating element 2 is affixed into an aperture in a bottom wall 1 of the vessel by means of a clamping ring 3. The ring 3 is formed by top (4,Fig 1D) and bottom 5 rings which clamp therebetween the edges of the heating element 2 and vessel aperture.

Title: Ventilation device
Inventor: HAMILTON JOHN GEORGE
IPC: E06B7/06
Filed: 1996-11-02
Abstract: A ventilation device for the provision of ventilating air to a room comprises a main body structure adapted for location at the edge of a door or window and having an internal air channel whereby air can flow across said edge from an external side (E) to an internal side (I) i.e. within the room.

Title: Adjusting air frame position of transmissions to minimise co-channel interference
Inventor: SOEDERKVIST JAN ERIK
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 1996-12-23
Abstract: A base station monitors signals received from co-channel interferers, and detects the air frame positions (AFPs) of the interfering transmissions. The base station then adjusts the AFP of its own transmissions to minimise the possibility of cochannel interference. The base station listens to the synchronisation (SYNC) words 46 in each unused timeslot, chooses the word most likely to represent a known SYNC word 48-52, and uses the time location of this word to detect the AFP of co-channel interferers. The base station then offsets its transmissions so that its SYNC words do not interfere with co-channel SYNC words (figs 5a-d). In addition to monitoring SYNC words, the base station may also detect the coded digital voice channel colour code (CDVCC) 54-58, which is unique to each base station, and use it as verification that the SYNC word received was an actual SYNC word and not a noise signal.

Title: Satellite communications system with broadcast channel switching
Inventor: LOKMAN LATIF
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1999-07-21
Abstract: A satellite communications system is of the type in which a satellite provides a plurality of spot beams 301 on the earth's surface, a respective main broadcast channel in each of the spot beams carries a signal containing geographical information relating to the boundaries of the corresponding spot beam, and a user terminal 38 is operable to learn its position on the earth's surface and to receive the broadcast channel of the spot beam currently occupied by the user terminal so that the user terminal can confirm that it is located within the spot beam boundaries, in order to maintain camping of the user terminal on the spot beam. If the main broadcast channel of a spot beam has to be turned off, for example to avoid interference with facilities such as radio telescopes or defence installations, this could result in multiple user terminals requesting a location update leading to system overload. To avoid this overload, the satellite transmits a substitute broadcast channel in a spot beam commencing a predetermined time prior to the main broadcast channel of that spot beam being turned off. The substitute broadcast channel carries the same geographical spot boundary information as the main beam, whereby a user terminal in that spot beam will acquire the substitute broadcast channel and remain camped on the same spot beam. The main broadcast channels of contiguous spot beams are all on different frequencies f1 to f7 to one another, and the substitute broadcast channel in a spot beam is on a substitute broadcast frequency which is different to both the main broadcast frequency of that spot beam and the main broadcast frequencies of all the contiguous spot beams. The substitute broadcast channel may initially be at a higher power than the main broadcast channel, but may be reduced in power after the main broadcast channel of the spot beam has been turned off. The satellites may be in medium earth orbit, and the user terminals may be mobile, semi-mobile, or stationary, radio telephones.
