Title: I.c.engine arrangement.
Inventor: CHRISTO NICKOLOV PERGELOV
IPC: F16D25/08
Filed: 1993-11-30
Abstract: The rotating and reciprocating pistons 2, 10, 16 and 22 drive a main shaft 24 via a hollow shaft 21. The shafts 21 and 24 are coupled and uncoupled automatically by a frictional clutch (26, Fig. 4) activated hydraulically in response to the rotational forces. The pistons are stationary at top and bottom dead centre for 40 DEG  of main shaft rotation (Fig. 8). Passages (35, Fig. 7) in the piston heads provide for a rotation force on the pistons when exhaust gases are flowing therethrough to the exhaust ports (41). Fuel injection pumps (80, Fig. 6) supply the cylinders which have spark ignition. Cords (71, 73, Fig. 11) responsive to main shaft rotation control the injection pumps and power output gauges (122, 125, Fig. 10). <IMAGE>

Title: Sorting apparatus
Inventor: KASAHARA YASUNORI
IPC: G06F7/24
Filed: 1994-02-07
Abstract: A sorting apparatus is composed of sort processors connected in a pipeline fashion. Each sort processor 106 merge-sorts data from the preceding sort processor and then outputs the merge sort result to the succeeding sort processor. Each sort processor includes sort core portions 102, 103 and a front end internal storage 104 and a back end internal storage 105 for the respective portions. Outside the sort processors, there are external memories 107 - 109 for the respective portions. The internal storages and the external memories constitute a local memory. The sort core portions use, when a faulty area is found in the local memory, part of the front end and back end internal storages as an alternative memory. The internal (high speed) storages may also be used as a buffer for data in the (low speed) external memories. A common external memory may be shared by a number of sort processors. <IMAGE>

Title: Communications with remote sites
Inventor: COLGAN JAMES THOMAS
IPC: G08C17/02
Filed: 1995-06-30
Abstract: Each of a multiplicity of subscriber terminals, of which one is shown, communicates with a central location or base station via a wireless subscriber loop, each subscriber terminal is assigned the same home section (ie. the same telephone number), and each terminal has means 41 to activate it for at least one unique individual period of time during which every other terminal is inactive. The activating means may be a real time clock 41 which closes a power switch 28, eg. for one unique 5 minute period every month. The clocks 41 may be programmed by data from a SIM 16 or plug-in smart card, through a local data port, or over the wireless loop from the base station. A block of time may be set aside on a periodic basis for network installation or maintenance work, during which time none of the terminals is programmed to be activated. A manual switch may override the time switch 28 during this period for test and synchronisation purposes. The system may be used for voice and/or data communication, eg. for transferring data from power meters or for other utility (eg. gas, water) usage data.

Title: Open hole straddle system and method for setting such a system
Inventor: SERAFIN VITOLD P
IPC: E21B33/124
Filed: 1996-12-04
Abstract: A set of inflatable well packing elements (11, 13) are separated by a variable length of tubing and are set in a well to isolate a segment of the annulus by applying fluid under pressure through a tubing string to the well packing elements. The flow of the fluid under pressure to the inflatable packing elements is regulated by a flow control valve (10) which automatically cuts off the fluid flow at a predetermined tubing to annulus pressure differential and opens communication between the tubing string (96) and the isolated well zone. Fluid may thereafter be pumped into or swabbed from the isolated zone. Upon completing the zone servicing, pulling the tubing string up slightly will both equalize the pressure across the inflatable packing elements, and deflate the packing elements. Thereafter, the tubing string may be retrieved from the well or, if desired, moved to another location which can be serviced in the same manner.

Title: Aesthetic improvements to instrument panels
Inventor: FUTSCHIK HANS-DIETER
IPC: H04R1/02
Filed: 1997-09-17
Abstract: An instrument panel for installation in vehicles along the windscreen, has at least one air-outlet slit 12, 13 that extends approximately parallel to the windscreen. For the purpose of retrofitting the instrument panel with auxiliary and additional modules 17, a slit like duct 16 is introduced onto the top side 11 of the instrument panel, as an extension of at least one air-outlet slit 12, 13, and serves for the purpose of inserting or adding the auxiliary components 17 and additional modules. If one or more of these auxiliary components are not to be fitted, for example in an alternative model of the car, a cover plate is attached to cover the opening, and is recessed within the slit as to be out of the line-of-sight of the occupants. In this way the aesthetic appearance of the instrument panel is maintained, rather than having a visible and unsightly cover plate that would identify a missing module.

Title: Transmitting and receiving remote controller pointing data
Inventor: KIM KYEONG-SU
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 1998-01-15
Abstract: A method of transferring remote controller pointing data includes generating a leader pulse for indicating that the position of the pointer of a remote controller pointing device has begun to change, generating a first pulse as a time reference point, dividing the change of the position of the pointer into vector components along X and Y axes, to obtain X and Y displacements, converting the X and Y displacements into X and Y time data, generating a second pulse after a lapse of time corresponding to the X time data from the time at which the first pulse was generated, and generating a third pulse after a lapse of time corresponding to the Y time data from the time at which the second pulse was generated. According to the method, it is possible to extend battery life by reducing power consumption of the remote controller. When received, the data controls the position of a cursor.
