Patent GB-0423503-D0 (GB)
Title: Communications method and apparatus
IPC: H04W16/28
Filed: 2004-10-22
Abstract: A method of maintaining a communication link between a network node and a mobile node of a communications network comprises providing at least two downlink transmission beams (A to D) and designating a first of the at least two beams as a primary transmission beam (e.g. B). The beams are used in accordance with a schedule. Received signal quality or signal strength measurements are taken at the mobile node and signaled to the network node. A quality of link on the primary transmission beam (e.g. B) and at least one other of the at least two transmission beams (e.g. A, C) is determined from the measurements signaled from the mobile node to the network node and the quality of link for the beams is compared to provide a comparison and the schedule varied in accordance with the comparison.

Title: Improvements in and relating to sifting screens
IPC: B07B1/46
Filed: 2004-12-18
Abstract: A frame over which woven wire mesh is to be stretched and secured to form a sieving screen and which can be used to screen solids from drilling mud recovered from down-hole when drilling for oil or gas. The frame is a rectilinear moulded plastics frame having edge regions by which it is secured in place in a shaker. Within the frame is a plurality of rectilinear windows formed by an orthogonal array of intersecting ribs also of moulded plastics material. Some of the ribs are internally reinforced by rigid metal members which extend orthogonally between hollow box-section members which define a sub-frame for reinforcing the four edge regions of the frame. The orthogonal members are secured at their ends to the sub-frame. The ends of the sub-frame members are joined at the four corners of the sub-frame. In this way not are only the edge regions of the frame reinforced internally but so also are some of the orthogonally intersecting ribs, so as thereby to produce a rigid frame for the screen. The internal reinforcement for those ribs which are to be reinforced may comprise hollow box-section metal members which may be of similar cross section to that of the sub-frame members, or the internal reinforcement for those ribs which are to be reinforced comprises metal I-beam cross section members, which typically have the same height as the height of the box-section members forming the sub frame.

Title: Adhesion promotion
IPC: C03C23/00
Filed: 1999-10-08
Abstract: Adhesion of a thermosetting powder coating to a glass substrate surface using a silane adhesion promoter, is enhanced by modifying the pH of the glass surface to between 3.5 and 5, prior to, or during, the action of the promoter. The pH-modification may be effected during washing of the surface prior to spray-application of the promoter, or by including an acid or alkali modifier in the silane solution. Alternatively, the silane, or the silane and the modifier, may be included in the thermosetting powder to become active during fusing of the powder to the glass surface. An acid or alkali solution dried on the surface prior to application of the promoter for activation with the promoter on heating, may be used instead or in addition.
