Patent GB-201013648-D0 (GB)
Title: Loudspeaker
Filed: 2010-08-16
Abstract: A loudspeaker enclosure design includes a phase plug which provides additional high frequency driver housing and horn loading of the main transducer in one device. The design includes a wave guide assembly that when coupled with the phase plug divides the acoustic wave created by the transducer into two equal horizontal channels to form a double horn loading of the main transducer. The horn loading and phase correction this achieves greatly improves the efficiency of the transducer and gives a flat frequency response. Two additional high frequency drivers are installed in the front of the phase plug assembly which is directly in front of the main transducer. The high frequency transducers are divided on a vertical plane opposite to the main transducer to reduce destructive interference. The mounting of the high frequency drivers directly in front of the main transducer ensures correct time alignment can be achieved and reduces the enclosure size. A number of enclosures can be arranged together to form a PA array.

Title: An optical device for the visually impaired
Filed: 2011-02-24
Abstract: The present invention provides an optical device for a visually-impaired individual and a method of operating such a device. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a spaced array of discrete light sources and a support arranged to maintain the array in proximate relation to at least one eye of the visually-impaired individual. An image capture device is configured to capture images of at least part of the individual' s immediate environment, wherein the array is configured to convey information to the individual by selectively illuminating one or more of the discrete light sources based on the content of the captured images. In this way, information relating to objects and/or textual language in the individual's environment can be conveyed to the individual by predetermined patterns of illumination (e.g. spatial and/or temporal). The apparatus and method are found to be particularly suited for visually-impaired individuals who retain at least some residual light and/or colour discrimination.

Patent GB-201201621-D0 (GB)
Title: Monitoring apparatus
Filed: 2012-01-31
Abstract: An apparatus is provided for monitoring a person within a specific environment. The apparatus uses three dimensional thermal sensors (thermopile arrays) to monitor the movement of a person in three dimensions. This movement data is communicated to a remote control unit where it is analysed and assessed by software within the unit. A non-intrusive schematic representation of the detected person is displayed on a graphic map representation of the environment. If the software detects and identifies a preset condition, for example a lack of movement of the person for a set period, or the person in a predetermined orientation, then an alarm condition is triggered. This alarm is communicated to a user who can then assess the situation. The alarm may be sent as a text or email, or may comprise an audible or visual alarm. The environment may comprise a building and/or a plurality of rooms located within a building. The schematic representation may show the current location of a person within a room.

Title: Fully automatic penetration hardness tester
Inventor: TARGOSZ THOMAS C
IPC: G01N3/44
Filed: 1984-05-15
Granted: 1987-10-22
Abstract: A fully automatic penetration hardness tester which includes a penetrator and clamp driven by respective serially-connected pneumatic cylinders for engaging test specimens. Pressure regulators are coupled to the respective cylinders for first applying clamping pressure against the test specimen and then applying a plurality of loads in a predetermined sequence to the clamped specimen through the penetrator, with the total clamping and penetrator pressure against the test specimen remaining constant through the test cycle. A control circuit monitors penetrator position and automatically initiates application of the next load in the test sequence when motion of the penetrator following application of the preceding load has settled such that a predetermined number of sequential position readings fall within a preselected position range. Specimen hardness is determined as a linear function of penetration depth under the various loads. An automatic calibration feature determines gain and offset of such linear function from actual and apparent hardnesses of two test specimens of known differing hardness.

Title: Hydraulically actuated injection molding system with alternate hydraulic connections
Inventor: GELLERT JOBST ULRICH
IPC: B29C45/20
Filed: 1984-03-14
Granted: 1988-02-18
Abstract: This invention relates to an injection molding system having a valve pin which is hydraulically actuated between an open and a closed position in which its tip end is seated in a gate leading to the cavity. The actuating mechanism includes a piston secured to the driven end of the valve pin which reciprocates in a cylinder. The cylinder has an inner cylindrical member which is brazed in an outer member with a flanged portion. Separate hydraulic fluid ducts extend from the flanged portion through the outer member, along grooves in the outer wall of the inner member and then through holes through the inner member to conduct hydraulic fluid to opposite sides of the piston. The flanged portion of the outer member has a pair of passages extending through it, each connected to one of the ducts. Alternate ends of the passages are sealed off so that hydraulic fluid may be received either from supply lines drilled through the back plate in which the cylinder is seated or an abutting top plate. This structure provides the advantage that the hydraulic fluid supply lines need not be drilled through the back plate if the system layout is such that there is a danger this could ruin the back plate.
