Title: Tensioner having a plunger protrusion prevention mechanism
Inventor: HASHIMOTO HIROSHI
IPC: F16H7/06
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: In a tensioner 31, a plunger 23, which is spring-biased in a protruding direction, is temporarily held in a retracted condition by a pivoted wire spring 39 (that may be U or L shaped). The spring 39 has a locking portion 39a engageable with a pin 24 or groove (figs 22 and 23) on the plunger 23, and two arms 39b having ends 39c remote from the locking portion. The ends 39c are pivoted to the housing on laterally displaced pivot axes. The lateral displacement of the pivot axes causes the wire spring 39 to be under stress when its locking portion 39a is engaged with the plunger, and the stress urges the locking portion 39a toward a disengaged position (fig 8). Thus, the plunger is held in its retracted condition during assembly by the locking portion of the wire spring, but is automatically released by disengagement of the locking portion from the plunger when the plunger is moved in the retracting direction.

Title: Method of network acquisition and related cellular radio communication device
Inventor: ORMSON RICHARD
IPC: H04W48/20
Filed: 2003-03-25
Abstract: A radio telecommunications method for reducing the time between a mobile terminal being turned on and network acquisition. Before network loss to a mobile terminal (either by moving out of the coverage area, or turning off the terminal), the cell the terminal is connected to is stored. This is done whenever network loss occurs to enable the terminal to store a list of cells. When the terminal is turned on, 26 (or regains signal) it attempts to connect to the network with the stored details in the list of cells 28. If none of the stored cell details are available, the terminal performs a full cell search 36. An advantage is improved cell acquisition, especially in the case where a user regularly loses signal or turns off their telephone in the same place (e.g. going through a tunnel or while at work).

Patent GB-2406916-A (GB)
Title: Resistive Voltage Divider With Conductors To Compensate For Stray Capacitances
Inventor: BUDAK SYLVIA J
IPC: G01R15/06
Filed: 2004-09-21
Abstract: A resistive voltage divider is described which has at least one conductor to compensate for stray capacitances to ground. The voltage divider 1 is formed on an insulating substrate 2. It comprises three terminals 3-5. A serpentine resistor R1 is formed between input terminal 3 and intermediate, virtual ground, terminal 4. A second resistor R2 is formed between terminal 4 and output terminal 5. Stray capacitances occur between the resistors and ground. A metallic conductor 6, formed on the substrate and connected to the input terminal 3 at one end, runs adjacent to the serpentine conductor for all or part of its length. This conductor capacitively couples to the serpentine resistor and provides additional distributed 'good' stray capacitances. The additional good stray capacitances are driven by the input voltage 3 and are chosen to supply substantially the exact current needed by the stray capacitances to ground, such that the original resistive divider never 'sees' the strays at all. The divider requires, in addition, only minimal conventional compensation by external parts (see parallel capacitors C1, C2 fig. 2). In an alternative embodiment an additional compensating conductor may run adjacent to the second resistor (32, 34 fig. 4). There may be an inverting feedback amplifier having an inverting input coupled to intermediate terminal 4 and referenced to a circuit ground. The amplifier output would then be coupled to terminal 5 and an AC voltage measurement circuit coupled to that output. The voltage divider is particularly suited for use in precision high voltage, frequency independent, AC voltage measurement and an independent claim is included for a voltmeter using the divider. It can also be used in digital multimeters to provide an input to an internal analog to digital converter.
