Patent GB-2327795-A (GB)
Title: Coin store and dispenser arrangement
Inventor: MEEKS ALAN MICHAEL GEORGE
IPC: G07F5/24
Filed: 1997-07-24
Abstract: A "last in-first out" coin store receives coins which are stored in a stack, and moves the stack upwardly so that the uppermost coin is brought to a dispensing location at which it is pushed off the stack by a slide 140. The slide 140 is caused to move upwardly with the stack so that it bears a predetermined relationship, during dispensing, with the uppermost coin. The top of the stack is normally positioned at a predetermined distance below the dispensing location so that incoming coins tend to fall and then lie flat on the top of the stack. If however, a new coin is dropped on the stack and does not lie flat 160, this is detected and the stack is reciprocated upwardly and downwardly in order to make the coin lie flat. The coin store may be provided with a device to calculate the number of coins in the stack. The calculation is made by moving the stack between a first position in which an endmost coin is at a predetermined location and a second position in which the other end of the stack is at a predetermined location, and calculating the number of coins in the stack on the basis of the amount of movement.

Title: Rotary actuator for use in active roll control system for vehicle suspension.
Inventor: PASK MARK
IPC: F15B15/10
Filed: 1998-02-28
Abstract: A rotary actuator has vanes 12, 16 mounted inside a cylindrical housing 10, the vanes dividing the internal region of the housing into four chambers, 24. Each chamber contains an elastomeric bladder 26, connected to an external hydraulic circuit via holes in the housing. When used in a vehicle suspension, the rotor 12 and housing 10 are attached to different sides of an anti-roll bar. Controlling the hydraulic fluid pressure supplied to the bladders, e.g. via pumps, in turn allows the relative motion of the parts of the anti-roll bar to be controlled. A second embodiment of the invention (Figure 2) has two independently rotatable vanes 34 that are attached to a central shaft 32, and define two regions 36, again lined by bladders, 38. Pressurising the fluid in one side rotates the vanes in opposite directions, again allowing active control of a roll bar connected to the vanes.

Title: Relational message broker adds value to published information
Inventor: TODD STEPHEN JAMES PAUL
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1998-06-03
Abstract: Message broker data processing apparatus 13 receives an incoming message stream of live data, such as stock data, from a sender (publisher) application 11, processes these messages and forwards the appropriately processed messages to one or more receiver (subscriber) applications S1-S3, 15. Broker apparatus 13 collates the incoming messages, which are arranged as relational database tuples, with database data, also arranged as tuples, stored in database 14, in order to create more meaningful messages for sending to the subscriber (for example such that it includes customer information from the database). Standard relational expressions (e.g. SQL queries) can be used to define the processing functionality, such as join or filter, of each processing node 21, 22, 23 of the broker apparatus 13, and standard visual tools for programming relational database management systems can be used for making changes to the broker functionality. Additionally, queue manager 12 enables the publisher 11 and subscribers 15 to communicate in an asynchronous manner.

Title: Optical Sensor Using Polarised Light
Inventor: EKBERG MATS
IPC: G01R15/24
Filed: 1998-12-21
Abstract: A Faraday-effect magneto-optic sensor comprises a light source 2, a polariser 8, a polarisation-maintaining optic fibre 14 for conveying plane polarised light to a Faraday-effect transducer 9 which, in response to a magnetic field, directed along the direction of light propagation within the transducer, changes the plane of polarisation of the light by an amount proportional to the magnetic field. Light from the transducer 9 passes via a polarisation-maintaining optic fibre 16, via a second polariser 10 acting as an analyser to a photodetector 3 which supplies an output signal to signal processing circuitry 4. Alternatively, the light may pass via a polarising beam splitter to two photodetectors. Gradient index lenses may be mounted between the optic fibres 14,16 and the transducer 9. The optical sensor can be used to detect a partial electric discharge by sensing the associated magnetic field. In another embodiment either one or both of the polarisation-maintaining optical fibres 14,16 and the polarisers 8,10 respectively may be replaced by a polarising optical fibre.

Title: Error rate monitoring
Inventor: BUTLER GRAHAM
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 1999-12-11
Abstract: There is provided an error rate monitor (10) incorporating a counter (30) which is incremented as errors are detected in a data stream passing through an interface unit (20) connected to the counter (30). The counter (30) is also simultaneously decremented at a rate proportional to an exponential of a value presently stored in the counter (30). The monitor (10) thereby provides from the value stored in the counter (30) a measure of error rate in the data stream, the value being substantially proportional to a logarithm of error rate in the data stream, thereby providing the monitor (10) with a relatively large error rate monitoring dynamic range.

Title: Novel hydrocarbon fuel and fuels system
Inventor: TALBERT WILLIAM L
IPC: C10L10/14
Filed: 1990-07-31
Abstract: A liquid hydrocarbon gasoline is provided by removing both the volatile and non-volatile components from C4-C12 gasoline to yield either a C6-C9 or a C6-C10 intermediate gasoline. The intermediate gasoline of this invention can be combusted in a stndard carbureted engine with less C4 and/or C5 priming than is required in standard C4-C12 gasoline, and thus provides adequate cold engine starting ability with lower Reid Vapor Pressure. The C6-C9 and C6-C10 fuel can be combusted in a modified engine without any priming by gasiying the fuel. The fuel is gasified by heating it in a chamber in the absence of air; mixing the gas with air and then combusting the mixture. The gasified fuel is advantageous because it doesn't condense into droplets and thereby is combusted more completely in the gaseous state enhancing combustion efficiency. The fuels of this invention better facilitate alcohol addition than current gasolines because of their lower Reid Vapor Pressures.
