Patent GB-2266309-A (GB)
Title: Silazane monomolecular film
Inventor: KURASAWA MORIO
IPC: G02B1/10
Filed: 1992-04-22
Abstract: The invention provides a water- and oil-repellent stainproofing substance comprising an amorphous monomolecular film of a cured film-forming agent selected from a cold curing polysilazane or polysiloxazane, with excellent hardness, durability and wear resistance. The substance may prevent the occurrence of coherency, even if the film is used on the antireflection films of plastic- and glass-lenses. By the vacuum depositing technique, an easy, short-time formation of the amorphous monomolecular film at a high yield is achieved with no use of freon 113. The present process will not cause any environmental pollution concerning the destruction of the ozone layer.

Title: Digital mobile telephone control system
Inventor: RAJALA JUSSI
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 1992-04-24
Abstract: A digital mobile telephone control system is provided with the facility for partial retransmission of original Layer 2 frames where Layer 2 is a frame structure for messages. Error recovery allows identification of Layer 1 units of the frames which require retransmission where Layer 1 is the manner in which frames are divided for transmission. Partial rejection frames (REJ', Fig 2) and partial retransmission frames (I', Fig 2) allow control fields in frame headers to occupy one or more header extension units. The final header extension unit is padded to standard unit length. Control field extension bits (EC, Fig 4) are used to identify extension header units and to allow total rejection at Layer 2 level if such a unit is corrupted. Partial retransmission saves time. <IMAGE>

Title: Vehicle cruise control resume function
Inventor: AMBROISE FRANCINE-ANNE
IPC: B60K31/04
Filed: 1993-10-26
Abstract: A resume function for a vehicle cruise control system stores a desired vehicle speed (MS) set by the driver, measures actual vehicle speed (VS) on the occurrence of a resume command and adjusts the vehicle speed from the actual vehicle speed (VS) to the desired vehicle speed (MS) at a rate determined as a function of the difference between the actual and desired vehicle speeds and the actual vehicle speed. Controlling the vehicle acceleration on the basis of the vehicle speed provides a more balanced and appropriate acceleration for the current vehicle conditions. In the embodiment, a first look-up table delivers an acceleration value in dependance on speed difference (MS - VS) and a second look-up table delivers a second acceleration value in dependance on current speed (VS). The two values are added to produce the final acceleration rate. The rate is recalculated until the desired speed is reached, when normal cruise control resumes. <IMAGE>

Title: Charger apparatus, e.g. for image forming apparatus
Inventor: SHIMURA HIDETSUGU
IPC: G03G15/02
Filed: 1994-03-17
Abstract: To reliably and uniformly maintain a discharging gap formed in the vicinity of a contact zone N between a charging member 101 and a photosensitive member 110, the charging member 101 is formed by a flexible film 102 with both ends supported by members 103 to 105. The film adopts the shape shown in fig. 1b, i.e. radius of curvature of the film 102 in a zone P2 located downstream of that zone N in the rotating direction of the member 110 to be charged is smaller than the radius of curvature of the film 102 in an upstream zone P1. Electrostatic forces assist the contact between the film 102 and the member 110. A formula for the maximum height of projections on the film 102 is developed, and examples of materials for the film are described. <IMAGE>

Title: Thermoacoustic refrigeration systems
Inventor: ARTLEY RICHARD JOHN
IPC: F25B9/14
Filed: 1994-08-03
Abstract: Thermoacoustic devices, for a variety of purposes including refrigeration systems, are capable of being constructed to higher practical efficiencies than hitherto, particularly at frequencies higher than 500Hz (thus also allowing significant size reductions of such devices for equivalent or superior performance by enabling higher efficiencies at higher frequencies), by means of the patterning of the 'stack' surface in such devices with a material or materials designed to adjust the local accommodation coefficient of the stack surface compliance, and thus add extra degrees of freedom to control the critical fluid movement/heat movement phasing required for high practical efficiency in such devices. This patterning can be done in a variety of styles with a variety of materials, but preferably thin discontinuous layers of metals are used, these being variable across the stack surface, the exact nature of the materials and their disposition being determined by the overall conditions of use and the local conditions prevailing at each point on the stack surface. The creation of the patterning may be done by a variety of conventional processes. In addition to the above higher practical efficiencies can be achieved in thermoacoustic systems by the use of low bandwidth high-efficiency transducers.

Abstract: The system has a first control unit 1 for controlling the fuel injection to an engine. The first control unit 1 is capable of starting the engine upon receiving an engine start instruction signal and capable of storing a first rolling code. A second control unit 11 is provided which is capable of storing a second rolling code. A first means provides interactive communication (12) between the control units 1, 11 when actuated. A second means issues an ON signal when an ignition key cylinder is turned from OFF position to ON position.

A fourth means compares the first and second rolling codes and issues an agreement signal or a disagreement signal. A fifth means, upon receiving the agreement signal, permits continuation of the feeding of the engine start instruction signal to the first control unit 1, and, upon receiving the disagreement signal, cancels the feeding of the engine start instruction signal to the first control unit 1. <IMAGE>

Title: Image analysis in optical measurement
Inventor: YAMAOKA NAOJI
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1994-12-23
Abstract: To determine the position of a bend in a workpiece using a projector 1 directing a flat beam of light onto the workpiece and a sensing device 2 imaging the line of light S on the workpiece, a pair of windows is set on each of the straight portions S1, S2 of the imaged line S, equations of lines through the centres of gravity of the portions in the windows are determined, and the crossing point of these lines is used to identify the position of the bend. To overcome unwanted reflections such as halation H, a particular reference point for setting the two pairs of windows is determined by first setting a window extending backwards in the X direction from the extreme point of the image and using the centre of gravity of the image in this window to set a window extending in the Y direction on each line portions S1, S2. The point centrally between the centres of gravity of the imaged portions in these windows is the required reference point. <IMAGE>
