Title: Flicker photometer
Inventor: BONE RICHARD ANDREW
IPC: A61B3/06
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: In a flicker photometer to measure the level of macular pigment in the eye of a subject, a light source 1 produces two beams of light of different wavelengths that are alternately directed to the eyepiece 2 via a rotating chopper 18. The chopper either allows light of one wavelength to pass through it after attenuation by the wedge-shaped filter 20, or for light reflected from mirrors 10,12 and 14 to be reflected from its bevelled edges 186,188 and onto the eyepiece for viewing. This allows for a compact chopper arrangement. The subject adjusts the position of the attenuating filter 20 and hence the intensity of one of the beams until no or minimal flicker is observed by the subject. The chopper 18 alternately allows transmission 2 of attenuated light via window 6 to the eyepiece or reflects light via its bevelled edge (186,188,figure 18) to the eyepiece. Use of the bevelled edge of the chopper leads to a compact layout.

Title: Portable apparatus with electro-luminescent display illumination and active noise cancelling means therefor
Inventor: MATSUMOTO KOUICHI
IPC: H04M1/00
Filed: 1999-06-24
Abstract: A portable apparatus which minimises the effect of noise generated by the vibrations of an electro-luminescent (EL) device without the need for a vibration absorbing sheet. A microprocessor 3 of the portable apparatus controls a display unit 1 and an EL device driver 5, which generates an AC driving voltage and causes the EL device 4 to illuminate the display. The EL device itself vibrates with a frequency equal to that of the driving voltage and generates noise. An output voltage signal having its phase inverted by a reverse phase generator 6 is applied to a receiver 7. Consequently sound which is 180 out of phase with that generated by the EL device is emitted from the receiver and combines with the noise generated by the EL device in a space in front of the receiver thereby minimising the noise generated by the EL device. In another embodiment [Fig. 3] the inverted noise signal is combined with a voice signal and fed to the earphone of a mobile phone.

Title: Apparatus for setting blind tubular rivets
IPC: B21J15/34
Filed: 1972-06-07
Abstract: 1397543 Blind rivetting AVDEL Ltd 26 May 1972 [28 May 1971] 18176/71 Heading B3U Blind riveting apparatus comprises abutment means 18, 20, a mandrel 12, first and second holding means 26, 28 and 30, 36 for holding the mandrel, the first holding means being reciprocable in a direction lengthwise of the mandrel to hold and move the mandrel between a rearward position, Fig. 2, in which the mandrel is held by the second holding means 30, 36 and a forward position, Fig. 1, in which the mandrel is disengaged from the second holding means, and means 42 for advancing a rivet forwardly along the mandrel from a position which is forwardly of the second holding means and which is rearwardly of the mandrel when the mandrel is in the forward position, wherein the first holding means and abutment means are operable to retract from the mandrel to allow a rivet to move forwardly along the mandrel. Actuation of the apparatus from the condition shown in Figs. 1 and 7, causes a ram 84 to move piston rod 90 and hence pulling jaws 26, 28 rearwardly, whilst the latter are gripping the mandrel until the mandrel head 16 has set the leading rivet 52 in a workpiece. During the setting of rivet 52 the rearward end of the mandrel passes through a fed river 54 and the rearwmost river 50 abuts a pivoted latch 44. When the mandrel reaches its rearmost position a ball 32 of detent 30 engages groove 36 in the mandrel and the jaws 26, 28, which are pivoted to the bifurcated end of the piston rod 90, begin to open, Fig. 2, due to the action of cam followers 140, 141, Fig. 7, on cams 144, 146. The rearward and opening movement of jaws 26, 28 continue, together with the simultaneous opening of jaws 38, 40, until the jaws 26, 28 reach their rearmost position. A stream of air is then delivered from jet 42 and drives the rivet 54 forwardly until it abuts the rearside of latch 44. The jaws 26, 28 now being to move forwardly and to close whilst the air stream is continued and, on reaching the head of the rivet 45, the jaws are closed sufficiently to move the rivet past the latch. At this stage a further rivet is fed to the jaws 38, 40 by a ram operated plunger. The jaws 26, 28 continue to move forwardly and eventually grip the mandrel. As the mandrel is moved forward the rivet 46 abuts and opens spring biased nose jaws 18, 20. The rivet 46 passes through the nose jaws, which close behind it, so that the apparatus is ready to commence a further cycle.
