IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2005-12-28
Abstract: A method for driving a light emitting panel by which a function as a backlight for a lighting apparatus or an electronic information device can be maintained without turning off the light on the whole plane, even when a defect exists in one area on the light emitting plane, by turning off the light of only the area including the defect and lighting other areas. The method for driving the light emitting panel is characterized in that the light emitting plane is divided into a plurality of areas and the areas are permitted to sequentially emit light by time sharing.

Title: Syringes
Inventor: SEGAL ALAN JULIAN
IPC: A61C9/00
Filed: 2006-01-17
Abstract: A syringe for dispensing a viscous settable material such as dental impression material has a tubular body (1) with an internal chamber (4), a plunger (2) movable through an open distal inlet end (5) along the chamber (4), and a nozzle (3) connected to an open proximal outlet end (6) of the chamber.

Title: Switching MAC fields for guests on a shared host
Inventor: GOFFMAN SERGAI
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2007-09-28
Abstract: In an internal network on a shared host (100) in which internal Media Access Control (MAC) and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), guests (104-108) can communicate with an external network (110) without requiring Network Address Translation (NAT), in which these addresses are replaced by those of the host and recorded in a table to allow correct routing of return packets, by using auxiliary addresses. The host determines whether the target MAC address (301, 408 or 510) is internal and, if so, switches it with the source MAC address (302, 406 or 509) thus preventing loopback (fig, 5A) of data packets sent between guests on the host, which will necessarily have the same MAC addresses, and possibly IP addresses (fig. 2), in the source and target fields of their Ethernet (fig. 3) or Address Resolution Protocol (ARP, fig. 4) headers.

Title: Method for supplying egr and fuel in an ic engine
Inventor: MA THOMAS TSOI HEI
IPC: F02B47/08
Filed: 2008-06-06
Abstract: A method for supplying EGR in a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine is described. Each cylinder of the engine has at least one intake valve and one exhaust valve operating according to the valve opening events of a four stroke engine cycle. The method comprises the steps of selectively interchanging in timing relative to the engine strokes the opening events of the intake and exhaust valves of one or more cylinders of the engine when EGR is required so that the exhaust valve is opened during a downward stroke of the cylinder drawing exhaust gases from the exhaust system of the engine into the cylinder and the intake valve is opened during a upward stroke of the cylinder discharging exhaust gases from the cylinder into the intake system of the engine. The cylinder (EGR cylinder) thereby operates as a positive displacement exhaust gas charger with two gas exchange strokes and two non gas exchange strokes during the four stroke engine cycle delivering exhaust gases for mixing with the intake air supplied to the remaining cylinders (power cylinders) of the engine. Fuel may be injected into the EGR cylinder for pre-conditioning of the fuel within the hot exhaust gases in the EGR cylinder, and the EGR gases and pre-conditioned fuel may be subsequently mixed with the intake air supplied to the power cylinders of the engine for combustion within the power cylinders.

Title: Tilted product package display system.
Inventor: ROSEN IAN K
IPC: B65D5/00
Filed: 2005-03-09
Abstract: A product package display system for displaying product packages has at least one generally horizontal support arm 112 received through an aperture 119 in a tilted package 118 to support the tilted package 118 in a hanging arrangement. The tilted package 118 includes a tab 120 in the vicinity of the aperture that biases the tilted package 118 toward a tilted orientation when the aperture 119 receives the support arm 112. The packages can thereby be angled so that their front surfaces are more directed towards a source of illumination and they are therefore more illuminated than if they hang vertically.

Title: Call related elevator car identification
Inventor: CHRISTY THERESA
IPC: B66B1/34
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: Destination calls entered by means of buttons (21-29) are each given a designation unique to the car and pick-up floor for that call and other calls to be serviced therewith, such as a letter (A-E), which is different from any other outstanding calls. Calls can be reassigned among elevators (UL, LL, UR, LR) whether they are in the same or different hoistways (LF, RT). Signs (31-39, 41-49) adjacent each hoistway are illuminated to display the designation of any call which is being answered by an elevator car approaching the floor. Thus, passengers are informed when their call is being answered by the signs identifying the call, rather than identifying any particular car. Another embodiement identifies (60, 31a, 41a) the hoistway landing doorway (1, 2) as well as a letter to allow passengers to wait adjacent to the hoistway landing doorway of the car which will serve them.
Patent GB-2455030-A (GB)
Title: Continuously variable transmission
Inventor: GREENWOOD CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: B60W10/02
Filed: 2007-09-24
Abstract: The invention is concerned with control of a continuously variable vehicle transmission. The transmission in question is to have a variator (10) which is coupled between a rotary transmission input (32) and a rotary transmission output (46), to provide continuous variation in a transmission dive ratio, via a launch device such as a clutch (62; 68). The variator and the launch device are constructed and arranged to exert a required torque, defined by an input signal. In accordance with the invention, the same control signal is used to control both the variator torque and the torque capacity of the launch device. In such an arrangement, vehicle launch (i.e. moving away from rest) can be controlled in a straightforward manner by progressively raising the relevant control signal, preferably a hydraulic pressure signal. Further independent claims are including for applying traction load to races (20, 22) of the variator and for a method setting torque of the launch device (62; 68) higher than torque of the variator (10).
