Patent GB-2315033-A (GB)
Title: Machine tool
Inventor: WATKINS ADRIAN HOWARD
IPC: B23B29/034
Filed: 1996-07-11
Abstract: A machine tool 10 comprises a support 20 mounted for rotation about a machining axis 22 , a first motor 28 operable to rotate the support about the machining axis, a tool holder 30 mounted on the support for rotation about a tool positioning axis 32 which is parallel to and off-set from the machining axis, a second motor 50 operable to rotate the tool holder about the tool positioning axis, and control means 60. For a constant diameter machining circle, the support 20 and the tool holder 30 are rotated about their respective axes at equal angular velocities so that they rotate as a unit. To adjust the diameter of the machining circle, one of the motors operates for a period at a different angular velocity to the other motor, thereby altering the position of the tool holder 30 relative to the support 20 about the tool positioning axis 32.

Title: Programmable logic array
Inventor: LANE CHRISTOPHER F
IPC: H03K19/177
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: A programmable logic array integrated circuit device includes a plurality of regions of programmable logic 20 disposed in a two-dimensional array of intersecting rows and columns of such regions. Each row has a plurality of adjacent horizontal conductors 50, and each column has a plurality of adjacent vertical conductors 60. The regions 20 in a row are interspersed with groups of local conductors 40 which interconnect the adjacent regions (from both sides) and the associated horizontal and vertical conductors 50,60. The local conductors 40 can also be used for intra-region communication, as well as communication between adjacent regions 20. Secondary signals such as clocks and clears for the regions 20 can be drawn either from dedicated secondary signal conductors or normal region inputs. Memory cell requirements for region input signal selection are reduced by plural-stage progressively-finer selection.

Title: Network firewall with proxy
Inventor: GREEN MICHAEL W
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1997-09-12
Abstract: A proxy which is part of a firewall controls exchanges of information between two application entities. The proxy interrogates attempts to establish a communication session by requesting entities with a server entity in lower layers in accordance with defined authentication procedures. The Proxy interfaces with networking software to direct a communication stack to monitor connection requests to any address on specific ports. The requestor's address, and the server's address are checked against a access control list. If either address is invalid, the proxy closes the connection. If both are valid, a new connection is setup such that both the requestor and server are transparently connected to the proxy with variable higher levels being connected in a relay mode. Protocol data units are interrogated for conformance to a protocol session, and optionally further decoded to add additional application specific filtering. In one embodiment, an OSI architecture comprises the levels.

Title: Stroke dependent damping
Inventor: DE MOLINA SIMON ANNE
IPC: F16F9/516
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: A two-stage shock absorber having a pressure tube within which a valve assembly is slidably disposed has a floating ring 44 which can engage the lower 46 or upper 42 valve assemblies after a specified amount of movement in either an extension or compression movement of the shock absorber, respectively. It thus closes a fluid flow path through the valve assembly to switch the shock absorber from soft to firm damping. In a further embodiment, the ring (244, figures 6 - 10) switches from soft to firm damping only during an extension movement.

Title: Determining the Transmission Quality of a Radio Channel
Inventor: SYDON UWE
IPC: H04B17/318
Filed: 1998-04-16
Abstract: In a method for testing the transmission quality of a radio channel in a cell radio system having a TDMA structure, a mobile station (MT) periodically measures values (x;) of the received field strength. An evaluating unit (AW) calculates from the field strength measured values an average field strength (x) and also the fourth moment (M) and establishes the difference (D) between the two. Depending on whether this difference is below a limiting value, the frame error rate is used as an additional quality measure.

Patent GB-2326422-A (GB)
Title: Production of fuel gas
Inventor: KEENAN BRIAN ANTHONY
IPC: C21B13/14
Filed: 1998-06-15
Abstract: In a first gasification stage, a first, solid, carbon-containing fuel, such as coarse ground coal, is gasified and at the same time iron is melted in gasifier-melter 8. The fuel gas produced in this step is then split into two streams. The first stream of fuel gas is employed to form the iron which will be melted subsequently in gasifier-melter 8, in a vertical shaft furnace 6 by direct reduction of iron ore. The second stream of fuel gas is fed via compressor 24 to storage vessel 26 after cleaning, where it is mixed with the compressed fuel gas stream obtained from the gasification of a second carbon-containing fuel in gasifier 16 in a second gasification stage in which no iron is melted. This mixed fuel gas stream is used to supply a combined cycle power recovery plant 30. No carbonaceous solid fuel is supplied from the second gasification stage to the first gasification stage. The use of a second gasification stage compensates for the fluctuations in the rate of production of fuel gas from the first gasification stage which is dependent on the demand for direct reduced iron. Finely ground coal or heavy oil are suitable carbon-containing fuels for the second gasification stage.

Title: Vehicle door latch release
Inventor: WILDIG CHARLES LAWRENCE
IPC: E05B53/00
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: A vehicle door latch is released by the action of member a cable <B>34</B> on a latch mechanism <B>50</B>. A member <B>40</B> mounted on the end of the cable <B>34</B> is secured by a detent <B>58</B> with respect to a fixed housing <B>20</B> against movement by spring <B>68</B>. A door handle <B>2</B> is capable of limited pulled movement to displace a housing <B>10</B> relative to the housing <B>20</B>. This causes the housing <B>10</B> to engage the member <B>40</B> and move it past the detent <B>58</B>. The spring <B>68</B> is then free to move the member <B>40</B> and the attached cable <B>34</B> towards the handle to effect latch release.
