Title: Binary thermostat
Inventor: CHARLES DONALD E
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1997-04-17
Abstract: In an analog thermostat, a binary coded switch is configured to have discrete positions corresponding to a plurality of setpoint temperatures to be selected by a user. The switch comprises a network of switched resistors 46-58 or 72-84 connected either in series or in parallel, the values of the resistors forming a geometric series such that   R n =2 n-1 R 1    where n is the position of the setpoint resistor in the network and R 1 is the value of the first resistor in the the network. Also disclosed (figure 10) is a system whereby the setpoint temperature is disabled when the system switches to a night mode and whereby the disabling operation can be overridden 110 so that the thermostat control device controls the setpoint temperature even at night time. Also disclosed (figure 10) is a system whereby setpoint control is disabled when a man machine diagnostic/programming device is connected to the controller 124.

Patent GB-2325520-A (GB)
Title: Coloured membrane supports
Inventor: JONES KEVIN
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1997-05-20
Abstract: Membrane based rapid diagnostic tests have enhanced visibility of the signal by use of a coloured membrane instead of the conventional white membrane. A coloured membrane aids the visualisation of the test result when viewed with the naked eye or with an electronic reader (such as a reflectometer). The use of a coloured membrane substantially reduces the background glare from the membrane and makes the reading of weak lines easier. Devices using the coloured membranes are particularly dipstick type for sandwich or competitive assays.

Patent GB-2328184-A (GB)
Title: Assembling a vehicle sensor
Inventor: GORDON IAN ALEXANDER
IPC: B60R22/40
Filed: 1997-08-12
Abstract: A method of assembling an acceleration sensor 2 in a vehicle safety restraint belt retractor 1, the sensor comprising, a rocking lever 5 for locking the retractor against belt webbing protraction, mounted in the retractor about a pivot point 6, and an inertia mass member 3 which is sensitive to sudden changes in vehicle speed to move the rocking lever into a locking position when a change in vehicle acceleration occurs, comprises the steps of assembling the acceleration sensor in the retractor without the rocking lever 5 and subsequently installing the lever by selecting the pivot point 6 of the lever to match a desired vehicle sensor gap defining the distance through which the lever must move to lock the retractor. The desired gap may be measured before the pivot point is defined. The pivot point may be formed by driving a steel pin first through a lever support member and then through a pre-moulded hole in the lever, and subsequently through a second support member, or alternatively inserting the pin through pre-formed holes. Alternatively, a range of pivot points may be provided. This method enables the clearance distance to be kept small to optimise the sensitivity of the sensor and to minimise lever chatter noise caused by vibrations of the vehicle engine or from uneven road surfaces, without the requirement for tight manufacturing tolerances which increases costs, and also minimises the danger of the retractor locking spuriously.

Title: Web page generator for organizational directory
Inventor: PINARD DEBBIE
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: The web page generator provides for web page creation of an organizational directory for use in an Internet and Intra-net environment. The directory application and web page generator are stored in the application database 125 on application server 120. The application may be written in any computer language which provides for data entry and storage in a network environment, such as C. Alternatively, the application may be written as a CGI program, and accessed by an administrator through the network using a web browser. The application gives the administrator the choice of adding or deleting an item class (202, Figure 2).Subsequently, the administrator is prompted for the name of the file containing the specific web page template to be used to create a specific instance of the selected class of item (eg employee name or work group). The user may choose from a selection of templates the style of web page to be created.The name of the added class of item is then stored in the database, and the appropriate database table relating to this class of item is created. The web page directory, after being placed on a web server, allows any individual who has network access to the web server 110, providing the web page, to view the directory information in a web page format. In another embodiment, the web page generator generates the directory web pages dynamically on an as-requested basis. In a further embodiment, the web page generator also provides for an interface to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) telephone switch for automatic access to PBX functions through the web page generated.

Title: Handrail of thermoplastic material
Inventor: STRAY PAUL
IPC: B29C48/18
Filed: 1998-07-17
Abstract: A handrail (10) for an escalator or moving walkway comprises thermoplastic elastomer, preferably at least of hardness Shore A 80 and is preferably C-shaped (11). The inwardly facing surface of the handrail may be presented by an insert (12) of different material and preferably a lower hardness than the rest of the handrail (10) which is preferably extruded. Ribs or grooves (18) may be provided on the inwardly facing or drive-contacting surface of the handrail to vary the surface area of contact with the drive means (14,15). The handrail may comprise longitudinal reinforcement cables embedded by an extrusion procedure in a relatively soft thermoplastic elastomer to provide a central core, the core being coated with a harder thermoplastic elastomer by a second extrusion procedure. The handrail may comprise two co-extruded parts of which one part is a thermoplastic elastomer.  The use of the hard thermoplastic material to form the outer section of the handrail increases shape retention during extensive use and lowers the requirement for further reinforcement. The friction between the guide on which the handrail travels and the handrail (10) is also reduced.

Title: Method and device for controlling a pump of a brake system
Inventor: ZIMMERMANN CHRISTIAN
IPC: H02P7/29
Filed: 1999-04-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device which serves to control a pump of a brake system according to demand. To this end, a total control is firstly (t0) carried out for the time TAnstMax (t1-t0) of the pump motor after the pump has been demanded by a brake system. In the following clocked control (ab t1), the control signal UP is modulated (t7-t1) in the pulse width on the basis of a direct comparison of the motor voltage UM with a voltage threshold value Us (e.g. t4). By means of an additional comparison of the motor voltage UM with a safety threshold value Uss (e.g. t7) and with the total control for TAnstMax (e.g. t9-t8), said total control resulting therefrom, the pump is guaranteed to output the necessary conveying capacity when it is heavily loaded. In addition, a predetermined pump motor maximal turn-off time TPausMax (e.g. t3-t1) guarantees a minimum pump turn-on time TPeinMin (e.g. t2-t3) per control clock period TTakt (e.g. t2-t1).

Abstract: A method for treating wastes from working ferromagnetic materials is proposed. In this method, the wastes are mixed in a first vessel with a washing solution, and the oil or the oil-water emulsion adhering to the wastes is dissolved. In this vessel, the ferromagnetic constituents of the wastes are then separated by means of a magnetic field, and the further constituents are subjected to a second washing step in the next vessel. The ferromagnetic constituents are fed to a further vessel and likewise subjected therein to a second washing step. The separated and deoiled constituents can then be filtered out of the appropriate washing liquids in suitable filter devices. <IMAGE>
