Title: Foldable handy phone with combined call alert and sounding means
Inventor: TOKI NOZOMI
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2000-02-23
Abstract: A foldable handy phone 2 of the present invention includes a receiver case 4 and a transmitter case 6 hinged together via member 5. A piezoelectric device or similar sounding means 8 is accommodated in the receiver case 4. A through hole 10 is formed in the surface of the receiver case that faces the transmitter case when the handy phone is folded up. The through hole 10 is communicated to a portion accommodating the sounding means 8. A groove 18 is formed in the above surface of the receiver case and extends from the open end of the through hole to the end of the receiver case 16 opposite to the end hinged to the transmitter case. When the sounding means produces an alert tone in the folded position of the handy phone, the alert tone is radiated to the outside via the groove 18. In another embodiment, instead of forming a groove in the surface of the receiver case another through hole is made (Fig. 5, 36).

Title: Selector for coordinating closure of folding doors
Inventor: GRIBBLE FREDERICK CHARLES
IPC: E05D15/26
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: A folding door with guidance means 3 for its free ends has a device which permits the doors to close only in the correct order. This control or anti-clash device requires that the first door 1 must be closed before the second door 2 is brought into abutment therewith. The device may comprise a beam 24 connected via a central pivot 23 to the door frame and the beam may be prevented from pivoting upwards above the second door by an overlying base member. An inclined surface 23 of this member may allow upward rotation above the first door. The beam may be biased towards its horizontal position in which a protrusion 26 may engage with a depression (27, figure 5) in the first door. The folding door may have roller means (10, figure 2) that cooperate with the guidance means. The device is provided to protect door seals from damage by preventing cooperating rebated door pairs from closing in the wrong order.

Title: Cleaning wipes for fabrics and the like
Inventor: MEADOWS TRACEY HANNAH
IPC: A47L13/17
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: A cleaning wipe (10) for fabrics, carpet and the like materials comprises an absorbent layer (12) impregnated with an aqueous cleaning solution containing detergent, devoid of bleach and particularly suited for use on fabrics, carpet and the like materials. Therefore, if, say, drink is spilt on a lounge settee, there is no need for somebody to run to the kitchen, to find a bowl, upholstery cleaner and a cloth, to mix the cleaner with water in the bowl, to bring it to the lounge and to sponge the settee. Instead, they merely need to take one of the wipes and can use it straightaway. Particularly in the case of spilt liquids, the speed with which the wipe can be used is a great advantage, because there is less time for the liquid to be soaked up by the upholstery, carpet or the like. Preferably a number of the wipes may be packaged as a stack, the absorbent part being mounted on a backing layer.

Title: System and method for positive client identification
Inventor: WRAY DAVID ROBERT
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2000-08-21
Abstract: A method for positively identifying a valid client communicating with a host comprising the steps of creating a system signature for the client including sufficient configuration information so as to be unique for that client, generating a first client identification key containing the system signature, and storing the key at the client, re-evaluating the signature at a sending terminal every time a communication requesting information is sent to the host, represented as being from the client by creating a new signature unique to the sending terminal, and comparing this with the signature stored with the first key, and generating a second key at the sending terminal containing an indicator that silently informs the host whether the sending terminal is the same as the client terminal. The signature may include an authorised personalisation key from the host. Information user profiles and security policies may be defined. Pseudo identifiers may be used to request information, which are treated as lists of tasks rather than addresses. Temporary files may be created for transmitting protected information to the client.

Title: Locating faults on a transmission line with multiple tapped loads
Inventor: HU YI
IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 2001-12-06
Abstract: A fault is located in a power transmission line 10 with a sending end S, a receiving end R, a plurality of tapped nodes TA, TB, and multiple tapped loads connected via load nodes LA, LB to the tap nodes. The sending and receiving ends each include a measuring device. The fault location is determined by obtaining measured pre-fault and faulted current and voltage values at the sending end and at the receiving end of the transmission line. An equivalent tap node location is calculated using measured pre-fault and faulted current and voltage values at the sending end and at the receiving end. The equivalent tap node divides the line into a sending side and a receiving side. The phase angle difference due to unsynchronised measurement may be calculated. The equivalent load impedance of the tapped loads is calculated. A first fault location is calculated assuming tat the fault is located on the sending side of the equivalent tap node. A second fault location is calculated assuming that the fault is located on the receiving side of the equivalent tap node. The true fault location is determined by selecting the calculated fault location having a value within a predetermined range representing a full distance between two nodes.

Title: Proportional solenoid actuator
Inventor: HARRIS ROBERT GRAHAM
IPC: H01F7/123
Filed: 2002-01-21
Abstract: A proportional solenoid actuator 10 comprises an armature 14 arranged with reciprocating movement within an armature drive coil 12 and a sensing coil 32. The sensing coil 32 senses the position of the armature 14 relative to the drive coil 12. An exciting coil 34 may be formed coaxially with the other said coils 12, 32. The exciting coil 34 may be energised by a secondary electrical supply with a frequency between 30 Hz and 3 kHz whilst the primary supply to the drive coil 12 may be a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal with a frequency between 30Hz and 300Hz. The exciting coil 34 is used in conjunction with the position sensing coil 32 to detect the armature position to provide a feedback signal which may be compared with a reference value and used to control the current applied to the drive coil 12 and thereby control the armature position. The coils 12, 32, 34 may be superposed on the same bobbin or the sensing and exciting coils 32, 34 on one bobbin and the drive coil 12 on a separate bobbin. The solenoid may be used in a gas control system of a boiler.

Title: Automated fluid sut-off system
Inventor: CARDWELL ARTHUR
IPC: F23N5/24
Filed: 2002-02-15
Abstract: An automated fluid shut off system 100 may include a valve 114 located in a conduit 106, which supplies gas to appliances within a premises such as a boiler 102 and a cooker 104. Sensors 108, 110 may be associated with the appliances 102, 104 and may include reed switches which close when a respective appliance 102,104 is switched on and send signals to a CPU 112. The CPU 112 then transmits these signals to the valve 114 which opens and allows gas to be supplied to the appliances through the conduit 106. When the appliances are switched off, the signals from the sensors are terminated and the CPU signals the valve 114 to close. The system 100 may be associated with a fire detection system, such that fluid flow into a premises is prevented if fire is detected. In an alternative embodiment, a flow detector and a programmable logic controller are used to control the supply of fluid into a premises.
