Patent GB-2432470-A (GB)
Title: System for dynamic time offsetting in interleaved power amplifiers
Inventor: STANLEY GERALD R
IPC: H03F3/217
Filed: 2006-11-10
Abstract: A system for controlling the delay applied to one branch of a pulse width modulation amplifier. The delay typically incorporated whether input signal level is low and diminished when the input signal level increases. The system may be implemented using a switch (540), a level detector (510) and a timer (520), which in conjunction determine whether the delay unit is included in the branch or bypassed. The system may also use a programmable delay that can adjust the period of delay applied or be programmed to operate as a pass-through where delay is no longer beneficial for providing high level quality.

Inventor: ANSON COLIN L
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2007-01-31
Abstract: The communication system comprises: a mobile communication device configurable to communicate using one of a plurality of communication protocols; and a configuration server. The configuration server is adapted to determine the location of the mobile communication device and to configure a service of the mobile communication device based upon the determined location of the mobile communication device. The device location may be determined by the network or by an adjunct system, i.e. GPS. The reconfiguration of the mobile device can occur without the user's input or knowledge, based upon the execution of instructions sent to the mobile device by the reconfiguration server. For example, the mobile device can be reconfigured to use a wireless access point 175, a VOIP interface 185 or wireless hotspot 170.

Title: Vehicle door latch device with assisted release
Inventor: INOUE JIRO
IPC: E05B81/20
Filed: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A latch device 10 includes a latch mechanism 20 that can hold a vehicle door in a half-closed state and a fully-closed state with respect to a vehicle body and an open lever 30 that releases the latch mechanism 20 by the operation of a door handle 3, 4. The latch device 10 further includes a latch release assisting unit 50 that acts as a result of the handle operation. A device 60 (such as a capacitor) supplies a driving current to an actuator 52 of the assisting unit 50 and is charged by receiving a portion of a driving current supplied to operate a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism acts to enable or disable operation of the handle. A pivoted ratchet 22 holds a pivoted latch 21 in a fully closed position (fig. 2) by engagement with a latch portion 212 and is released by the action of the open lever 30. When a handle operation is detected the actuator 52 receives current from device 60 to drives a lever 51 of the assisting unit 50. The lever 51 engages a latch portion 213 (as shown in fig. 10) to rotate the latch 21 away from contact with the ratchet 22 which can then be freely turned to a release position. The lever 51 is then allowed to returns under bias and allow the latch to move to an open position.

Title: Hinge locked by pin inserted transversely to the hinge axis
IPC: E05D3/02
Filed: 2008-04-17
Abstract: A hinge having a hinge pin defining a hinge axis and comprising a hole through the hinge pin at right angles to the hinge axis. A locking pin is inserted through the hole when the hinge is in a closed position, which prevents the hinge from opening. When the door is closed the locking pin may be pushed through the side of the hinge and through the hinge pin. This will stop the hinge from working effectively locking it shut. This prevents the door from being opened from the outside even if the conventional lock is forced. This hinge lock makes it impossible to lever the door open from the outside as there is no play at all on the door.

Title: Producing phenols from alkyl-aromatic hydroperoxides
Filed: 1960-03-24
Abstract: In a method of forming a phenol by the action of an acid on a solution of an alkylaromatic hydroperoxide in a liquid hydrocarbon, the acidified mixture is passed through a cooling system wherein the temperature of the mixture is maintained constant \sB5 DEG C. at a predetermined value within the range of 10 DEG  to 80 DEG C. until the cleavage reaction is completed.  In an example, a mixture comprising 6 parts of a 40% solution of cumene hydroperoxide in cumene and 24 parts of 42% sulphuric acid is passed through a centrifugal pump.  The mixture is then passed at 40 DEG C. through a cooling system comprising ten heatexchangers, the cooling capacity of which are adjusted so that the fluctuations of the temperature of the mixture do not exceed 2 DEG C.  Towards the end of the reaction, a slight increase in temperature, within the permitted range of fluctuation, is allowed to take place so that substantially complete cleavage of the hydroperoxide is obtained. The mixture remains in the cooling system for about 45 seconds. After distillation, a yield of 87% of phenol is obtained.  The cleavage of the hydroperoxides of di-isopropylbenzene, methylisopropyl benzene and isopropylnaphthalene is mentioned.
