Title: Collapsible container for hauling bulk materials
Inventor: ERICKSON STEWART E
IPC: B65D88/16
Filed: 1995-02-03
Abstract: A intermodal container (200) and method for transporting finely divided coal in rail cars or other cargo hauling vehicles, the container (200) having a generally flexible and substantially oxygen impermeable barrier liner (210) defining an encapsulated cavity (211). A port (260), is adapted to substantially prevent exposing finely divided coal to oxygen during passing flowable material through the liner 210. The liner has radial, circumferentially extending bands of reinforcement. The intermodal container is a shell with front doors and the liner is connected to the closed rear end by a tether. Emptying is preferably by tilting the container e.g. by a ram (250, Fig 22). Preferably, corner 220 or side (225, Fig 24) supports for the liner are provided. The supports can be of metal such as aluminium or foamed plastic and are preferably of pyramidal shape. Preferably the filling and emptying port is funnel-shaped to assist in emptying.

Title: Telecommunications management system
Inventor: THOMPSON JONATHAN ANDREW
IPC: H04Q7/34
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: An object based telecommunications management system comprises a management controller connectable to an item of telecommunications equipment for passing messages over a communications link between the management controller and a management element of the telecommunications system to invoke management operations. The management system comprises means for defining a number of messages which may be generated by the management controller or the management element for passing over the communications link, each message being arranged to include one or more information elements. At least one of the messages is arranged to identify one of said objects as an information element and to cause different management operations to be invoked dependent on the object identified. Separate messages are not required for each management operation and management operations can be invoked by virtue of the object specified within a particular message. This enables a simple generic interface to be provided between the management system and the telecommunications system that is independent of the particular management functions that need to be performed on any particular telecommunications system. Thus the management system may easily be reused with different telecommunications systems without the requirement to alter the message interface between the management system and the telecommunications system.

Patent GB-2341254-A (GB)
Title: Deactivating eg vehicles
Inventor: YARDLEY ALAN DONALD
IPC: B60R25/043
Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: A Uniquely programmed, radio signal remotely operated, vehicle or vessel engine, motor, or drive system immobilisation device is fitted to a fuel line, electrical circuit, drive mechanism, or other interruptable point of the propulsion system. The device comprises a Radio Receiver, a Programmable Logic Computer (PLC), and a Drive Control Unit. The radio receiver is tuned to a preset frequency and the PLC is uniquely programmed to respond to it's own activation 'ON' or 'OFF' codes. The drive control unit immobilises the vehicle or vessel. Via an encoded signal the device can be activated at any time and location by the agency responsible for its activation (e.g. police or coast guard). The device has a safety feature that stores the 'OFF' command to the drive control unit until such time as the vehicle or vessel stops moving. There are also optional outputs that will operate other systems to help draw attention to the vehicle or vessel, such as hazard lights, horn/siren, door locks, steering locks, alarms, lights, emergency beacons, or radio location systems. Those of the optional systems that do not pose a hazard can be activated immediately the remote signal is received. The 'hazard systems' e.g. steering locks, (like the drive system immobiliser), will be activated only when the vehicle or vessel stops moving. When an 'ON' coded signal is received all systems will return to normal operation.

Title: Barrier layer for a semiconductor device
Inventor: YEW TRI-RUNG
IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 1998-09-14
Abstract: A method for forming a barrier layer for a semiconductor device comprises the steps of first providing a semiconductor substrate 30 that has a conductive layer 31 already formed thereon. Then, a dielectric layer 32 such as an organic low-k dielectric layer is deposited over the conductive layer 31 and the semiconductor substrate 30. Next, an opening 33 is formed in the dielectric layer 32 exposing the conductive layer 31. Thereafter, a first barrier 34 layer is deposited into the opening 33 and the surrounding area. The first barrier layer 34 can be a silicon-containing layer or a doped silicon (doped-Si) layer formed by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method, a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) method, an electron beam evaporation method or a sputtering method. Finally, a second barrier layer 35 is formed over the first barrier layer 34, e.g. by CVD. The second barrier layer 35 can be a titanium/titanium nitride (Ti/TiN) layer, a tungsten nitride (WN) layer, a tantalum (Ta) layer or a tantalum nitride (TaN) layer. The opening is then filled with tungsten, copper or aluminium to form a via 36. The method can be applied to a damascene process.

Title: Improving tanker stability and utilisation
Inventor: LAMBERT GEORGE
IPC: B64D37/32
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: To resolve the problem of transportable tanks, e.g.road, rail, sea, air undergoing fluid surging, flexible inflatable baffles are filled in the tanks' interiors, tethered at the tanks' neck ring (5) of the manlid; the baffles move freely. Inflation media may be compressed air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide introduced or released by a valve (6) and venting of overpressure by relief(7) valve. Buoyancy lifts the baffles to compress against the tanks' upper parts and against each other, excerting great stability. Low volume loads may be carried in high volume tanks with greater safety and dedicated control of ullage. No tank valves are affected. Inclination of the baffles allows maximum control and adjustment.

IPC: G01F11/28
Filed: 1999-02-15
Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing a metered dose of liquid, e.g. oil to a remote location, e.g. a motorcycle chain, is described. A deformable master reservoir (1) is squeezed to force liquid into a dosing chamber (4) via a feed tube (2).

Title: Digital interference suppression system for radio frequency interference cancellation
Inventor: CASABONA MARIO M
IPC: H04B1/7097
Filed: 1998-06-23
Abstract: A digital signal processing system that produces an adaptive cancellation arrangement which nulls out all types of concurrent interference and/or jamming signals received by Global Positioning System (GPS) or spread spectrum receiver (7) from diverse antennas. In the present arrangement, orthogonal components of the composite received signal are separated by the receive antenna arrangement (3) and adjusted in the digital network (5) between the antenna (3) and the receiver (7) in phase and amplitude to optimally cancel components. The arrangements can be synergistically combined with digital adaptive transversal filter technology which is primarily used to supplement suppression performance by reducing narrowband interference in the band. The orthogonal received signal components from the GPS satellite constellation and from interference sources are combined in the present arrangement to adaptively create a null that attenuates interference sources while slightly modifying the GPS received signals.
