Patent GB-0901336-D0 (GB)
Title: Hybrid power supply
Filed: 2009-01-28
Abstract: The invention is a Hybrid Power Supply (HPS) unit which replaces the existing unit by which street lighting is governed. The HPS receives a request from lamp post photocell, checks the battery power, and if it is sufficient then switches to solar primary feed. The unit provides and regulates power to LEDs in the street lamp, and if battery levels fall too low, a Multilayered Processing Unit (MPU), which monitors the system, will automatically switch to its secondary AC mains supply. This procedure is instantaneous and ensures that the street light remains lit during the changeover. The HPS can be easily situated at the base of existing street lights for easy maintenance or replacement.

Patent GB-9106334-D0 (GB)
Title: Synchronisation of digital audio signals
IPC: G06F5/12
Filed: 1991-03-25
Abstract: A digital audio signal which is subject to sample-to-sample jitter is synchronised with local reference pulses (READ) by the use of a read-write buffer memory (12). Timing pulses (80) are associated with the input samples. The input samples are applied through a one-sample latch store (36) to the main memory, and the timing pulses are applied by switches (66,68) either directly or a short delay (38) to the write control input of the main memory. A phase comparator (24; Fig. 3) detects sample-by-sample when the write pulses are near to the read pulses and causes the switches to change state in response thereto, and they retain their changed state until a danger of potential read-write contention is again detected when they revert to their original state. <IMAGE>

Title: Air separation
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: Air is separated in a double rectification column 14 comprising a higher pressure column 16 and a lower pressure column 18, the latter operating at pressures of less than 2 bar absolute. An oxygen product is withdrawn from the column 18 by a pump 68. A first vaporous nitrogen stream is taken from the top of the higher pressure column 16, is compressed in a compressor 62 and is used in a gas turbine 70. Feed to the lower pressure column 18 is derived from a stream of the bottom oxygen-enriched liquid fraction obtained in the higher pressure column. To this end, this stream is subjected to further separation (typically in further rectification column 32) to form a vaporous nitrogen fraction (a flow of which is condensed and is used as reflux in the lower pressure column 18) and an oxygen-containing feed to the lower pressure column 18 which flows via an outlet 46 and a condenser 44 to the column 18. At least 60% of the nitrogen product flowing to the gas turbine 70 is taken from the higher pressure column 16. <IMAGE>

Title: Porous filter element and method of fabrication thereof
IPC: B01D39/20
Filed: 1999-09-20
Abstract: A method of making a porous filter element by defining in a body of photosensitive material a pattern of varying intensity e.m. radiation (e.g. light), by creating an interference pattern in the material. After exposure to the e.m. radiation, regions of the material are selectively removed (e.g. dissolved away) in dependence upon the exposure to which they were subjected. This results in a porous element which can be used directly as a filter element, or which can be used as a lost mould to create a filter element from a different material. In that usage the voids in the resin material are filled with the material from which it is desired to make the filter, and then the resin is removed. Varying the intensity and the pattern varies the size, shape and disposition of the regions which are removed, and thus of the pores in the filter.
