Title: Method and apparatus to control the temperature of a component
Inventor: JAIN SATCHITANAND
IPC: G11C7/22
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: When a component, such as a memory device, exhibits an overtemperature condition (e.g., exceeds a first threshold value), the data transmission rate with respect to the component is reduced so as to lower its operating temperature. In one embodiment, this is achieved by changing the latency at which data packets are transmitted to and from the memory device in dependance on the temperature of the device. Controlling temperature in such a fashion allows for efficient use of the component over a large range of temperatures.

Title: A seal application process and apparatus
Inventor: KELLY DEREK
IPC: B65H37/00
Filed: 2001-03-05
Abstract: Part of a manufacturing process for a moulded plastic lens involves the application of a sealing grommet to a rear face of the lens 1 and a protective peel-away sheet to a front face of the lens 1. A carrier web 21 with a number of spaced-apart sealing grommets 10 is fed incrementally to a mounting station 50. At the mounting station 50, the carrier web 21 is halted with a grommet 10 being presented in a desired loading position 51. A lens body 1 is mounted in a socket 53 of the lens support plate 52 adjacent the loading position 51. Am arm 55 engages the lens 1 and lifts the lens 1 from the socket 53 and aligns and engages the lens 1 onto the associated grommet 10 at the loading position 51 to secure the grommet 10 to the rear face of the lens 1. The carrier web 21 is then advanced to a cover transfer station 60 at which a protective cover sheet is peeled from a supply web 62 directly onto the topmost or front face of the lens 1. Strips of the carrier web 21 containing one or more lenses 1 are cut-away from a leading end of the carrier web 21 downstream of the transfer station 60.

Title: An alarm comprising a vibration sensor and a mobile telephone
Inventor: CHAPMAN HENRY
IPC: B60R25/102
Filed: 2001-11-17
Abstract: An alarm comprises a vibration sensor and a cellular telephone which establishes a connection with a remote telephone receiver upon receipt of a signal from the vibration sensor. The call made by the cellular telephone alerts the user to unauthorised interference with their property attached to or surrounding the alarm. This may be achieved by attaching a magnet to the device so that it may be affixed to a magnetic material to be protected. An enhanced microphone and speaker permits the user to hear the events at the alarm and act accordingly. A delay may be introduced between arming of device and triggering the alarm and before the cellular telephone dials the remote telephone.

Title: Anti-lock braking of a vehicle with a self-steerable axle and an axle control valve for isolating a higher modulator pressure
Inventor: ROSS COLIN
IPC: B60T8/84
Filed: 2002-02-02
Abstract: In an anti-lock braking system for a commercial road vehicle trailer with compressed air brakes and including a self-steer axle with such brakes, an electronic control unit (ECU) 16 selectively controls respective brake pressures to each side of another braking axle according to differential rolling surface adhesion to reduce skidding by way of respective pressure modulators 6L,6R. The output pressures from these modulators are additionally applied directly via an axle control valve 15 to brake actuators 14R,14L of the wheels of the self-steer axle. The axle control valve 15 has diaphragms 40,41 which move together in response to differences in modulator pressures, moving valve members 33,34. This isolates the higher of said modulator pressures from the respective self-steer axle wheel brakes at the onset of anti-lock control and thereby tends to provide lower equal brake pressures to the self-steer wheels corresponding to the modulator pressure at the low adhesion side of the other axle.

Title: Recording multiple data streams at a common rate using pulse counts and signal levels
Inventor: KNOTT JOHN
IPC: G11B20/14
Filed: 2003-03-06
Abstract: Digital data decoded from frequency shift keyed (FSK) data (trace A) is recorded from several different streams by using time domain descriptions of the data, such as clock pulse count and input level. Clock pulses in a second stream (trace B), operating at a rate of an integer submultiple of the first stream's rate, are counted until a transition is detected. Upon detection, a descriptor is formed from an indicator of the transition's direction (trace C) and a pulse count representing the time since the last transition (trace D). These descriptors are then subject to a reverse encoding process in order to form a replica (trace B) of the original data stream. Data recording on multiple streams can suffer from slightly differing data rates in each stream (plesio-synchronicity), and from too many errors if the sampling rate is too low. By using descriptions of a signal's time domain behaviour, a digital output can adequately replicate the original data stream and allow multiple streams to be recorded at a common rate, enabling eg. time domain multiplexing.

Filed: 2003-06-03
Abstract: Data from submerged sensors, e.g. being towed by fishing vessel is collected by a submerged communicator, and may be combined with data on the operational status e.g. battery condition of the submerged equipment. The data is transmitted to the surface vessel wirelessly, where it is decoded, displayed and relayed by wireless to a land station, e.g. using normal fishing authority communications. The vessel carries fish finder equipment which sends a signal subsurface, that signal being reflected by the communicator which modulates the data onto the reflection. The data modulation may be DTMF or logic signals. The invention allows the data collection without the need for specialist staff to be present on the vessel.
