Patent CH-526468-A (CH)
Title: Gas fired forced air circulation oven.hich is - resistant to thermal and mechanical shock
Inventor: PAUL F WOERNER
IPC: C01B31/30
Filed: 1969-08-19
Abstract: Bakers oven has a working chamber and a spaced insulated outer housing from which heated air is drawn by a fan into a first duct extending across the top of the oven, and the re-circulated through a return duct to the bottom of the chamber. There is a burner within the duct and fresh air is also admitted, the combustion products being mixed with the re-circulated air. Overheating of the first duct which would cause non-uniformity of the working chamber temperature is prevented by the cooling of the outer walls of the duct by the circulating gases. The inner walls are protected from the burner flame by the mixture of fresh air and circulating gas which is drawn past the burner. The walls of the duct are never more than 100 degrees hotter than the chamber. The floor of the oven is unobstructed and is at ground level to facilitate loading.

Patent GB-2366695-A (GB)
Title: Control channel utilisation
Inventor: HOPKINSON JONATHAN NEIL
IPC: H04W24/00
Filed: 2000-09-01
Abstract: A cellular telecommunication system, such as GSM, utilises dedicated control channel (SDCCH) resources to relay, in-call, management information upstream from a subscriber unit to a base station sub-system and, ultimately, a switching centre. Call establishment procedures also initially utilise the dedicated control channel resources, such procedures generally requiring a complementary pair of dedicated control channels for the uplink and downlink directions. In instances where a BSS perceives that SDCCH capacity is impaired by SMS messaging or the relaying of management information, such as location updates, the BSS is configured to suppress access to dedicated control channel resources for management information purposes in favour of call-establishment procedures, especially when traffic channel resources are available for use in a call.

The tension of the resilient part of the hinge, which is preferably a spring acting about the hinge axis, is such that the VDU is stable in any adjusted position. The rollers 500 allow for horizontal adjustment of the position.

Title: Scroll compressor with motor protector
Inventor: SUN ZILI
IPC: F04C18/02
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: A scroll compressor 20 is provided with a motor protector 36, 38 mounted at a location remote from the motor 22. The motor protector is of the sort which operates to stop operation of the motor both when the temperatures in the scroll compressor increases; and when the electrical characteristics of the power supplied to the motor depart from those from which are expected. Preferably, the motor protector is mounted in the non-orbiting scroll 28. A pressure relief valve 42 opens to communicate hot discharge pressure refrigerant over the protector. The invention may include means to increase the sensitivity of this motor protector to conditions indicative of an outdoor fan failure. In one other embodiment a heat sink is operable to take heat away from the motor protector, in this embodiment, when the volume flow of refrigerant decreases, the amount of heat taken away also decreases.

Title: Gear shifting mechanism having a shift drum positioned by compression springs
Inventor: SU HUNG YU
IPC: F16H63/18
Filed: 2002-01-31
Abstract: A gear shifting mechanism, eg for sand buggies or motorcycles, comprises a shift drum 62 having on both sides thereof compression springs 63, 64 which allow the drum 62 to slide axially on drum shaft 6 when gear shift 81 cannot enter recesses 831. The springs 63, 64 urge the gear shift 81, via the drum 62, into the recesses 831 when they are aligned, thereby allowing a smooth engagement of forward/reverse gears 82, 83. Shift drum 62 has at one end a gear 61 which is meshed with a gear 51 fixed on spindle 5 so that when the spindle 5 is rotated the gear 51 via gear 61 rotates the drum 62. A fork 71 is engaged with the drum 62 so that the drum rotary motion is converted to linear motion which is transferred to gear shift 81.

Title: Dynamic allocation of pilot carriers in an OFDM transmitter
Inventor: SIMMONDS CHRISTOPHER MARTIN
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2002-03-12
Abstract: In a high data rate multi-carrier system (<I>eg</I>. HIPERLAN), a received Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) signal is analysed in order to determine the characteristics of the channel over which it is transmitted. These characteristics are then used to divide the sub-carriers up into groups with similar fading characteristics (representative of the whole group) and allocating a pilot channel to each group. These pilot-channel sub-carriers allow received signal weightings to be determined, which are then applied to all sub-carriers in a sub-band. The receiver then transmits data using this weighting scheme back to the transmitter, which uses the scheme in the next transmission. Alternatively, the channel analysis can be performed by the transmitter after data has been sent from the receiver. This method allows pilot channels to be allocated dynamically according to whether the fading characteristics of the channel are flat (thus requiring fewer pilot channels) or dispersive, in which case many pilot channels might be required in order to represent each sub-group accurately.

The dielectric constant also determines the amount of coupling between the elements. Capacity loaded electrodes (16,17) define capacitors between the elements and ground, the adjustment of capacity adjusting the first and second resonant frequencies. The resonant frequencies of the non-fed element 4 extend the frequency bandwidth.
