Patent GB-2324604-A (GB)
Title: Measuring apparatus
Inventor: FOSTER ANDREW JOHN
IPC: G01B5/02
Filed: 1997-04-24
Abstract: Apparatus 10 for measuring the head of a horse 12 incorporates various components, such as cheek straps 14, each of which is movable (slidable) relative to another component in order to produce an overall desired fit of the apparatus 10, which is generally in the form of a bridle, to the head 12. Once the desired fit has been achieved, windows 16 and numerals 18 allow measurements to be taken, indicating the relative positions of the slidable components. These measurements may give direct measurements of the lengths required of various components of the bridle to be made, or may be other measurements from which strap lengths can be deduced. The apparatus 10 generally resembles the bridle which will be constructed, and thus allows the user to ensure a good fit to a particular head (which is partly an aesthetic judgement, and partly based on measurement and experience), so that a bridle can then be made with reasonable confidence that it will be a good fit.

Patent GB-2320370-A (GB)
Title: Coupled line and method of manufacture
Inventor: SASAKI YUTAKA
IPC: H05K1/02
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: Coupling between a pair of microstrip lines 3, 4 is improved by reducing the gap g1 between them beyond conventional manufacture limitations. The lines are formed with trapezoidal cross-sections, with the longest major sides uppermost, and the shorter sides in contact with the dielectric substrate 2. The lines are produced by applying a resist 11 onto the surface of the substrate and exposing the resist through a photomask. The resist is then developed to remove unnecessary areas, creating trapezoidal openings for the lines. The lines are then formed by electroplating, evaporation, or sputtering etc in the openings. The remaining resist may then either be removed (figure 1) or be left in place (figure 2), which improves the capacitance between the lines.
Patent GB-2317885-A (GB)
Title: Biomaterial
Inventor: CANHAM LEIGH TREVOR
IPC: C01B33/02
Filed: 1996-08-01
Abstract: Biomaterial, for example bioactive silicon, may be fabricated by anodising a silicon wafer to produce a wafer (10) having a porous silicon region (20). In vitro experiments have shown that certain types of porous silicon cause the deposition of apatite deposits both on the porous silicon (20) and neighbouring areas of bulk silicon (22) when immersed in a simulated body fluid solution. This deposition of apatite provides an indication that porous silicon of appropriate form is bioactive, and therefore also biocompatible. A form of porous silicon is dissolved in the simulated body fluid solution and this is an indication of a resorbable biomaterial characteristic. In addition to porous silicon, certain types of polycrystalline silicon exhibit bioactive characteristics. Bioactive silicon may be used in the fabrication of biosensors for in vitro or in vivo applications. The bioactivity of the bioactive silicon may be controlled by the application of an electrical potential thereto.

Preferably, the or each jaw is constrained to move only in a transverse direction. Both jaws may be biased toward each other, or one jaw may be fixed and the other biased toward the fixed jaw. Electromagnetic assistance can be provided, in the form of an electromagnet located within one or both jaws. The battery can be stored within the button. It is preferable to withdraw power from the electromagnet when to jaws are fully closed, to preserve battery life.

Patent GB-2347566-A (GB)
Title: Detection of excessive clock frequency
Inventor: GALBRAITH MARK JAMES
IPC: G06F1/04
Filed: 1999-03-01
Abstract: High frequency clocks may be applied to a smartcard in an attempt to gain access to information stored in the smartcard. To detect such an attempt, the frequency of the input clock signal is compared 14 with the output of a high frequency filter 12, which divides the input clock frequency when the input frequency exceeds a predetermined value. A status register is set which the microcontroller can poll to determine if an attack has been attempted. A microcode programmer can then control what sequence of events occur once the register has been set. Alternatively, detection of the high frequency could automatically trigger a reset or interrupt.

Abstract: Crystal articles are treated at high temperature with a gas coming from the vaporisation of ammonium and aluminium or iron sulphate(s). For example, a temperature of 480@C is sustained for between 15 minutes and 3 hours. After the article has been cooled, it is sufficient to wash the treated surface with water or soapy water in order for it to recover its initial purity. For implementation, the treatment agent powder 4 is placed at the bottom of the article 1 to be treated and the opening 2 of this article is closed with a graphite plate 5. A member 8 holds the plate 5 in the opening 2. The invention makes it possible to limit migration of heavy metals, such as lead, for crystal articles. <IMAGE>
