Title: Flexible magnetic disc with carrying rack
Inventor: LAVERTY PATRICK JOSEPH
IPC: B60R9/058
Filed: 1997-04-24
Abstract: An equipment carrier 1 comprises a planar flexible base portion 2 having a lower magnetised layer 10 and an upper support layer 9 of plastics material. A body 5 is centrally disposed on the support layer 9 with a carrier support 40 connected to the body 5. Elasticated ties 7a,7b,7c and 7d are used for fastening items to the carrier support 40.

Title: End user query facility
Inventor: YONG DENNIS
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1995-11-13
Abstract: An end user query technology is taught which is capable of automatically understanding the database model and guiding the user to scout for the desired information, thereby increasing productivity and ease of information access. The user is freed from the need to understanding the database model, with the end user query facility of this invention quickly guiding the user to acquire the information. This is made possible by the end user query facility of this invention first recapturing the application semantics from the existing database model to provide a set of derived semantics. The derived semantics are then used by the end user query facility to intelligently guide the user to scout for the desired information in the database. In addition, the derived semantics can be easily updated by the end user query facility when the database model is changed.

Title: A one-piece replacement parting bead carrying sealing means for mounting on a sash window
Inventor: BERKELEY HUGH R C
IPC: E06B7/22
Filed: 1997-07-09
Abstract: Draughts passing around sliding sash windows are reduced by using a replacement parting bead with sealing strips. The replacement parting bead is a one-piece strip 1, typically a plastics extrusion. One narrow edge 2 of the strip fits into the parting bead slot and the two side surfaces carry seals 10 to bear against the leaves of the window. Preferably, the narrow edge 2 is formed with a slot 3 to define two spaced leg portions 4,5 which can be pressed into the parting bead slot. The opposite narrow edge 6 may be formed with another slot 7, acting as a rebate to receive the heads of screws used to secure the parting bead in position. The side walls of this slot may be formed with projections to engage with a snap-in cover strip 8, which hides the screw heads.

Title: Reversable plate compactor having directional control
Inventor: WADENSTEN THEODORE STIG
IPC: E01C19/38
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: A self-propelled and reversible compactor 10 includes a motor 12, a motor mounting plate 14, a tamper plate 16, a vibrator assembly 30, a driven pulley 38, a drive pulley 48, and a directional control arm 54.

Title: Low-power low-harmonic CMOS clock driver with a prefilter
Inventor: GONZALEZ DAVID M
IPC: H03K19/003
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: Harmonic generation in a CMOS clock driver system is reduced by low-pass filtering the clock signal before applying it to the output transistors 116,118. The output clock signal is of sinusoidal form. The series resistor in the RC filter may comprise the channels of complementary MOS transistors 122,124. A symmetrical output waveform is ensured, despite manufacturing variations, by matching of the output transistors 116,118 with respect to the filtering transistors 122,124. The diode-connected bipolar transistors 117 and 119 reduce the output swing to 1.25 volts given a supply voltage OSC_VCC of 2.75 volts. The clock driver may be used in battery powered devices such as pagers, computers, personal digital assistants and radiotelephones.

IPC: B60R11/02
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: A vehicle audio system for a cellular phone includes: an automatic signal selector 16 for selecting and outputting voice signals transmitted from the cellular phone to a low frequency amplifier 17 if the cellular phone is in use, or for outputting voice signals transmitted from a demodulator 15 to the low frequency amplifier 17 if the cellular phone is not in use. A power supply unit 19 is provided for supplying power from the vehicle battery to the system. A recharging circuit is provided for supplying power from the power supply unit to the cellular phone; and an amplifier 14 for amplifying voice signals input from an external microphone 41, 42 to send to the cellular phone. The system reduces damage to a car body and deterioration of a car's appearance as a hand-free apparatus is not separately installed. The structure of the system is simple because a speaker already-equipped in the car audio system for use with a radio or a cassette player, for example, of the car audio system can be used for the cellular phone.

Title: Packaging for bottles including self-closing cartons
Inventor: TOPFER KEVIN
IPC: B65D5/50
Filed: 1998-03-16
Abstract: A case of bottles is formed by placing bottles 3 into cartons 2 arranged within the case 1. The cartons have at least one top flap which allows a bottle to be inserted past it but then automatically holds the bottle in the carton. This is preferably achieved by wedging part of an inwardly directed flap against the neck and/or shoulder of the bottle. The flaps may have a recess formed in one edge which sits around the neck of the bottle. This simplifies the filling of cases of bottles as once the cartons are arranged in the case the bottles can be inserted without interference from closure flaps.

Patent GB-2330426-A (GB)
Title: Air conditioning system
Inventor: ISAZAWA KENJI
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: For cost effectiveness, the capacity of outdoor unit 1 is less than the total capacity of indoor units 2. When there are requests for operation from the remote controllers 3 of the indoor units, means 8a calculates the capacity of the demand, means 8c determines whether this capacity is within the capacity of outdoor unit 3 and, if not, means 8d identifies which remote controller is of lowest priority, eg lowest demand, and instructs commanding unit 8e to exclude that remote controller's request. This process repeats until the demand can be met, at which time the operation is started. This is repeated after a period of time as some requests may be terminated. More sophisticated prioritisation of the indoor units may include allocation of the units into blocks and combinations of blocks and the setting of operational time zones.

Title: Data carrier deactivation in absence of user data
Inventor: FELDMAN HOWARD RAY
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: In a radio communications system in which data is transmitted on a modulated radio frequency carrier, the carrier is switched off when no data is available for transmission. If repeated signalling information is required to be transmitted, only a predetermined number of repeats are transmitted before the carrier is switched off. In one embodiment a bit sequence at the end of a first data block is compared with multiple sequences from a second block and if all sequences are equal, transmission of the second block is inhibited. In another embodiment data input for transmission is compared with a predetermined bit sequence. If a match is found for any relative bit alignment, this indicates an idle state (absence of user data) and the carrier is switched off. When more user data is received the carrier is switched on and frames are transmitted in synchronisation with the timing of frames transmitted before carrier deactivation. After carrier reactivation a constant power preamble may be transmitted to assist in level control in the transmitter. In a satellite SCPC system satellite power efficiency is improved and mobile earth station battery power is saved.
