Title: Board game
Inventor: OKONKWO ONUOHA JOSEPH MARK
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: A board game is preferably based upon London underground stations, Fig 1, and provided with 3 possible routes through the stations with some of the stations being positioned and designated as connections allowing movement between routes. The game involves each of the players choosing both a start-off and a destination card from respective stacks at the commencement of a game, and then throwing dice to determine how many stations a player can move, the dice being faced with only three values and with repeating values on opposite faces. Landing on a segment marked "M" or "MB" requires a player to draw a chance card and follow instructions. The winner is the first player to complete the designated journey from start-off to destination. It is stated that the game includes a second board, which has a slightly different format for moves from the segment marked "MB", Fig 2 (not shown).

Title: Converter for mobile telephone keypad enabling a user to enter text by the depression of the numerical keypad keys without directly contacting the keys
Inventor: HADJISOTIRIOU CONSTANTINOS
IPC: H04M1/23
Filed: 2000-09-26
Abstract: The converter, which is attachable via an elastic strap (5,Fig.2) onto any device with a numerical keypad (e.g. a mobile telephone (1) (Fig.1)), includes a base (2) with a text symbol selector 3. The selector is connected either mechanically or electrically to a numeric key 6 of an underlying numerical keypad which enables the activation of the key an appropriate number of times according to the selected text symbol. In use, a sliding bar 9 (Fig.3) is acted upon by the text selector such that one reciprocal motion of the bar depresses a lever (8) a number of times appropriate to the selected text symbol. The depression of the lever causes a piston 7 to depress the numeric key which enters the selected text symbol into the telephone. The sliding bar may be replaced by an electromagnetic actuator (10,Fig.4). Furthermore, the numerical keypad keys may be replaced by electronic contacts (11,Fig.5) of a printed circuit board (13) connected to a sliding selector (12). The converter may be made of plastic, metal or transparent material or a mixture thereof.

Title: Moveable lenticular image to create an animated sequence synchronised with corresponding sound
Inventor: KAY ROBERT
IPC: G09F19/14
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: An image display device has a lenticular image 48 which is moved by a drive mechanism 24 actuated in response to a drive signal 22. This allows the display of a plurality of individual or discreet images in succession by means of the displacement of one or more of the elements to provide an animation sequence. Sound generation means 18 are also included which are capable of converting a sound signal into sounds which gives the appearance that the sound emitted thereby is synchronised to the animation. The animated sequence, viewable during the motion of the lenticular image 48, is repeated a number of time for varying periods of time determined by the drive signal 22. At the same time the signal sound sample is reproduced by the sound generating means 18 to give the appearance that the animated sequence is of the same time duration as the sound sample and that the animation sequence is synchronised with the sound sample.

Title: Multiple quadrupole mass filters
Inventor: MARRIOTT PHILIP
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2003-05-13
Abstract: A mass spectrometer 10 comprises: an ion beam source 12; and first and second mass filter stages 30 and 32, preferably quadrupole mass filters (QMF) 34 and 36, arranged in series to receive an ion beam from the source. A vacuum system comprising pumps 20 and 22 maintains both filter stages at the same operating pressure, at or below 10<-3> torr. The first filter stage acts as a coarse 'sacrificial' filter, transmitting only ions having a sub-range of mass-to-charge ratios (typically only 1 % of ions received from the source), including a selected mass-to-charge ratio. The second 'analysis' filter is arranged for transmitting only ions of the selected mass-to-charge ratio, and hence is not subjected to problems such as the build-up of material on the quadrupole rods, which results in a distorted electric field close to the rods. The second filter may be controlled to scan the selected mass-to charge ratio of the transmitted ions over a scanned range to provide a mass spectrum.
