Title: Sensor error detection in a dual sensor system
Inventor: MARLETT BRIAN J
IPC: G01P3/44
Filed: 2001-05-15
Abstract: A method and system for determining the operating integrity of a dual sensor system takes in signals from each of the sensors in the dual sensor system. The signals are preferably generally on the same cycle, and the control evaluates whether a single sensor has sent two consecutive cycle signals to the control without a corresponding cycle from the other of the sensors. If so, an indication is made that the other of the sensors may be failing, or is intermittent. Preferably the sensors are associated with wheel speed indicators and the control is an ABS control.

Patent GB-2396712-A (GB)
Title: Handling multiple interrupts in a data processing system utilising multiple operating systems
Inventor: WATT SIMON CHARLES
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2003-10-27
Abstract: In a data processing system using multiple operating systems, an interrupt which itself may be interrupted by a subsequent interrupt which will be serviced in a different operating system, guards itself against being overlooked when that subsequent interrupt has been handled by starting a stub interrupt handling routine in that other operating system before executing the main handling routine in the originating operating system. Thus, the stub interrupt handling routine will be recognised in the other operating system irrespective of other interrupt events which may occur and accordingly the interrupted interrupt handling may be restarted.

Title: Handle assembly for a power tool
Inventor: STONES KEVIN
IPC: H01H9/06
Filed: 2004-05-17
Abstract: A handle assembly for a power tool is disclosed, in which the power tool has a housing, a motor provided in the housing, and an output shaft adapted to be caused by said motor to actuate a working member extending from the housing along a first axis A-A. The handle assembly (102 figure 6) comprises a front handle 6, a rear handle 7 integral with the front handle, and a mounting portion adapted to be mounted to the housing of the tool, wherein the front handle 6 forms an obtuse angle with the axis A-A of the working member in use. This last feature makes the power tool more comfortable for a user to operate, provided that the centre of mass of the power tool lies in the region between the front handle 6 and the rear handle 7. This will usually be the case, since the heaviest parts of the tool are generally the working member and the motor housing thereof. Thus the user does not have to stretch his forward arm as far relative to the rear handle 7 as he would have to do when using the handle assembly of a conventional power tool of this type.

Title: Method of manufacturing a vehicle door
Inventor: JOLLEY PETER
IPC: B60J5/04
Filed: 2004-08-19
Abstract: A vehicle door has an outer panel 4 or 5 which includes a border flange 4a, 5a along a periphery of the outer panel and an inner panel 3 comprising a hem flange 6 or 7.
