Title: A torsional vibration damper
Inventor: VOLLETT ERIC MALCOLM
IPC: F16F15/16
Filed: 1995-02-23
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB95/00381 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 21, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 21, 1997 PCT Filed Feb. 23, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/23300 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 31, 1995A torsional vibration damper has an annular driven member and an annular inertia member, coaxial with the driven member. The inertia member is capable of limited rotational movement relative to the driven member. At least one set of variable volume chambers is arranged so that the relative movement of the driven and inertia members in a first direction decreases the volume of one of the chambers and increases the volume of the other chamber, and relative movement in the opposite direction causes a reverse variation in the volume of the chambers. At least one annular spring is carried by one of the driven and inertia members. A connection is provided between the variable volume chambers and at least one side of the spring. The damper is supplied with a source of fluid in the chambers whereby relative rotational movement of the drive and inertia members pressurizes the one side of the spring causing it to flex. At least one of the chambers is provided with inlet and outlet valves so as to enable it to pump fluid from the source of fluid to the pressurized side of the spring.
Patent AU-1724783-A (AU)
Title: Digital data transmission address tracking error correction
Inventor: JOLIVET JEAN-CLAUDE RENE
IPC: H04N19/00
Filed: 1983-07-25
Abstract: A conditional replenishment video data transmission system involves the transmission of updating digital data for clusters of consecutive picture elements, all or most of which show a change since the previous frame, in lines of a raster over an image to be transmitted. The lines of the raster are numbered cyclically in groups of 8, the numbers being part of line synchronizing code words, and the position along a line of the first element of each cluster is identified by a number. The data are transmitted at a constant rate from a transmitter buffer to a receiver buffer and an auxiliary data store records the addresses of the line synchronizing code words in the receiver buffer. The address of the receiver buffer read by a reading means can be corrected by reference to the address data in the auxiliary storage means if for example the line numbers do not follow in sequence or the element addresses are not in ascending order due to corruption during transmission. Alternatively, the reading means may be controlled at all times by the address data in the auxiliary storage means and not only when a tracking error has occurred. The tracking of the received data in the receiver buffer by the reading means may show a consistent error relative to the position predicted by the assumed transmission delay time; preferably such tracking errors are corrected by a whole frame jump using a receiver buffer of more than one frame capacity.
Patent AU-1742488-A (AU)
Title: Magnetic tape cassette
IPC: G11B23/087
Filed: 1988-06-06
Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette of very small type has a front lid (17) pivotably secured by supporting arm portions (17b, 17c) to a cassette housing (1) so as selectively to open or close a front opening portion (14) of the cassette by elastic deformation of the front lid (17). The cassette housing (1) has on its side walls edge surface portions (20a1, 20b1) facing in the direction perpendicular to the rotating direction of the front lid (17) and which come into contact with the inner surfaces of the supporting arm portions (17b, 17c) when the front lid (17) is opened, preventing the front lid (17) being moved in the lateral direction.

Title: Handover determination and power control adjustment in mobile communications systems with frequency hopping
Inventor: SANCHO FERNANDO
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 1999-12-06
Abstract: A device (5) for triggering a handover or for adjusting transmit power levels in a cellular communications system distinguishes between the use of a frequency hopping or a non-frequency hopping channel and sets a different threshold value depending on which type of channel is being used. In one embodiment, handover trigger levels for hopping channels are based on frame erasure rate measurements rather than bit error rate measurements thereby avoiding unnecessary handovers and advantageously reducing signaling traffic.
Patent AU-2102301-A (AU)
Title: Horizontal lifeline traversing device
Inventor: OSTROBROD MEYER
IPC: A62B35/04
Filed: 2000-12-15
Abstract: A load attachment system such as commonly used as a horizontal lifeline safety system (10) includes a substantially horizontal lifeline (14) secured at its ends to a building structure (12) and supported intermittently along its length by intermediate supports (26, 126). Each support (26, 126) includes a horizontal bar (38, 138) for supporting the line (14). The system (10) further includes a load attachment device (24, 124) having a pair of grooved rollers (54, 56; 154, 156) that rides on the lifeline. A load (18) is supported from the bottom (68, 168) of a C-shaped member (62, 162) which has its top (64, 164) connected to the rollers (54, 56; 154, 156) thereby allowing the device (24, 124) to traverse the supports (26, 126). The bottom (68, 168) of the C-shaped member also carries a rotatable paddle wheel (74, 174) which prevents the device (24, 124) from being removed from the line (14). The paddle wheel (74, 174) rotates when a paddle (78, 178) is engaged by the support's horizontal bar (38, 138) as the device traverses the support (26, 126).

Title: Alarm systems
Inventor: SEYMOUR JOHN EDWARD
IPC: G08B15/00
Filed: 1995-04-04
Abstract: An alarm unit (20) which conveniently forms part of an alarm system is adapted when in operative condition, and when the alarm system of which it forms part is armed, to be caused by a trigger signal produced by the alarm system to generate an audio and/or visual message advising of activation of the alarm system. Thus, if the alarm system is armed or disarmed erroneously by an authorised user, or if an authorised user inadvertently triggers the alarm system, he will be alerted by the advisory message to take appropriate remedial action.

Title: Method of forming a semiconductor device
Inventor: THAKUR RANDHIR P
IPC: H01L29/51
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: In the formation of semiconductor devices, a processing method is provided, including steps for forming an oxide layer. The embodied methods involve a series of oxidation steps, with optional interposed cleanings, as well as an optional conditioning step after oxidation. In a preferred embodiment, these steps are clustered and transportation between the clustered process chambers takes place in a controlled environment such as nitrogen or a vacuum. In some embodiments, the method provides an oxide layer to be used as part of the device, such as a tunnel oxide for a flash-EEPROM, or as a general gate oxide. Alternatively, the steps can be used to sculpt through oxidation various levels of a substrate, thereby allowing for embedded memory architecture. Cleaning between oxidation steps offers the advantage of providing a more defect-free oxide layer or providing access to a more defect-free level of substrate.
