Patent GB-2366934-A (GB)
Title: Telephone independent provision of voice recognition
Inventor: ERB PAUL
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: A Speech Recognition Engine (SRE) is allocated to a call according to predetermined call states. For example when attempting to set up a call it may be determined that voice recognition is not required because a DTMF signal representing a dialled digit has been received. The SRE may subsequently be allocated to the call in the event that the destination number is busy, allowing further call directives to be selected by voice recognition. The arrangement prevents a user having to select voice recognition (for example by dialling a predetermined number) before using the facility, and enables voice recognition to be used for selecting other functions subsequent to the initial call setup.

Title: Barrier for preventing vehicle access through an entrance
Inventor: PENDLEBURY LEONARD MALCOLM
IPC: E01F13/06
Filed: 2001-04-05
Abstract: The barrier comprises a barrier element 12 mounted on a supporting element, characterised in that the barrier element is provided with one or more penetrating elements 28 which are designed to penetrate at least part of a vehicle which is driven against the barrier. The penetration means are preferably spikes which barbs, latches or some similar design to prevent the spikes from being withdrawn from the vehicle once inserted. A guard plate 14 is preferably located over the spikes that is strong enough to prevent a person, animal etc. from impaling themselves on the spikes but which is weak enough to deform at a relatively low level vehicle impact. The plate may be provided with regions of weakness to aid the deformation and the plate may be welded to the barrier. The plate may also include at least one aperture 62 which is disposed so as to provide a route for the spike(s) to extend through as the guard is deformed. The barrier is preferably pivoted at a point located inwards from one end and has weights attached to facilitate its lifting. A support is preferably provided which acts to support the free end of the barrier when it is in the lowered position and a locking mechanism may be included that can secure the barrier in one or more orientations.
Patent GB-2373984-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for feeding pigs
Inventor: HARDING MARK ANDREW
IPC: A01K5/02
Filed: 2001-04-06
Abstract: A method is described for mixing metered amounts of liquid and dry feed. Both are caused to migrate in a downward direction over a mixing region to a feeding region of a feeding trough. The liquid and dry feed are both dispensed from above the mixing region so as to fall onto the mixing region in a generally downward manner, and are delivered onto the mixing region in a predetermined dispersal pattern. The liquid is delivered on to the mixing region in a similar pattern, typically by means of a spray nozzle. The delivery of feed and water is animal activated, and the animal activation is inhibited at intervals so that the feeding cycle of the animals is controlled. To this end the intervals between inhibition and/or the duration of each inhibition is adjustable. The level of feed in the trough is sensed to prevent build up of uneaten mixed feed in the trough. A pig feeder which performs the invention has at its bottom an annular feeding region into which mixed feed and liquid is fed from an inclined generally smooth or multifaceted generally conical or frusto-conical region at the centre of a feeding trough.

Title: An electical earth clamp
Inventor: LITCHFIELD RICHARD STEPHEN CUR
IPC: H01R4/24
Filed: 2001-10-06
Abstract: An electrical earth clamp 10 includes a rigid body 11 supporting a clamping surface 12. A shear headed, electrically conductive screw 16 goes through an aperture 13 in the body 11. As the screw is tightened an article 30 such as a radiator is clamped between the screw and the surface. The screw has a conical tip 22 to pierce any coating (eg paint or rust) on the article and to make electrical contact. As the screw is tightened further, the head 14 shears off, leaving a threaded stud 16A. A nut 21 screws onto this stud to secure an earth terminal 18 to the clamp. Alternatively, the clamp may have two shear headed screws 16, and a plate (220) may be screwed to these to clamp an earth wire 19, see Fig 2a.

Title: Detecting Apparatus
Inventor: SUZUKI TOMOHIKO
IPC: G01S7/62
Filed: 2001-10-08
Abstract: A pulsed scanning radar or ultrasonic sonar system distinguishes between stable targets that produce practically the same received signal strength from one cycle to the next e.g. land or a vessel, and an unstable target that produces varied received signal strength from one cycle to the next e.g. rain or sea clutter. The return signals are written into a primary memory 4 and compared 7 with previous values held in a secondary memory 9. A wide variety of mathematical formulae, or a reference table 8 are used to allow a signal processor to determine the brilliance, colour or pattern of brilliance fluctuations of the display of the target. The brilliance, colour or pattern of brilliance fluctuations of the display 11 of a target with large fluctuations in the received signal strength is different from the display of a target with small fluctuations in the received signal strength. The displayed pattern of fluctuations may also vary depending on whether the received signal has exceeded a specific value or not.

Title: Protectant Applicator for an Upright Cleaner
Inventor: KASPER GARY A
IPC: A47L11/34
Filed: 2002-01-17
Abstract: A hand-held nozzle 100 is attached to the end of a vacuum and fluid delivery hose (16, see figure 1) of an upright deep cleaner (10, see figure 1). The nozzle 100 includes a reservoir 110 to contain a solution to be applied to a surface. When a solution delivery system of the deep cleaner (10) is pressurized, water from the upright cleaner clean water tank is routed through the hose (16) to the hand-held nozzle 100. The water is routed through a venturi valve 150 connected to the reservoir 110, which draws the solution to the valve 150 to mix with the water stream. The resultant mixture flows from the hand-held nozzle 100 for application to a surface being treated. One embodiment of the solution reservoir (410, see figure 17) includes a retainer cap bonded to the reservoir (410) and utilizing a bayonet-type mounting arrangement for mounting the reservoir (410) to a nozzle assembly 420. Also claimed are the nozzle assembly by itself, a cleaning apparatus that mixes water with a protectant, a cleaning apparatus with a liquid dispensing system and a liquid recovery system, and a method of applying protectant to a surface.

Title: Handover of mobile call connection
Inventor: ROBINSON PAUL
IPC: H04W36/12
Filed: 2002-05-08
Abstract: The connection to a mobile, outside the cell, is maintained until handover of the call connection to a second base station. The handoff may not take place until the quality of service from the neighbouring node reaches a set level. The mobile may be informed that it is permitted to continue communication with the first base station whilst the signals are sufficiently strong. A rake receiver at the base station may employ additional fingers whilst the mobile is outside the associated cell, or the transmission power may be increased. Call handover may be prevented whilst the next door base station is busy, and traffic diverted to less congested cells. The system may be a third or higher generation network, such as UMTS.

Title: Laminography with controllable translational and rotational position of focal plane
Inventor: EPPLER BARRY
IPC: G01N23/04
Filed: 2002-10-25
Abstract: The image-based laminography system (300, fig. 3) for inspection of an object comprises an imaging means (420), e.g. a camera for imaging a portion of the object. The imaging means defines a focal plane (460) in which the portion of the object must be positioned in order to be imaged. There is a position-altering means (450) such as a manipulator for altering the relative translational and orientational position of the object and the focal plane, and a means for mapping (330, figure 3) at least part of the surface of the object. The mapping means generates a representation of the part of the surface of the object, and a further controlling means (340, fig. 3) controls the position-altering means (450) using the representation of the part of the surface of the object so that the portion of the object being inspected remains substantially within the focal plane. The manipulator (450) may also comprise means for the translational and positional movement of the camera(420).
