Patent GB-2329164-A (GB)
Title: Bicycle suspension system
Inventor: WHYTE JON
IPC: B62J1/06
Filed: 1997-09-15
Abstract: The suspension system has an inner seat tube 24 which is slidably mounted within an outer seat tube 23. The lower end of the inner seat tube carries the bottom bracket 17 whilst the upper end is adapted to receive a seat post carrying a saddle so that the distance between the saddle and the bottom bracket remains constant. To prevent rotation of the inner seat tube within the outer seat tube an L shaped extension tube 30 projects from the bottom bracket to engage a short tube 31 fixed to the down tube 12. Springs or dampers 32 which provide the suspension to the saddle may be included between the inner and outer seat tubes, between the extension tube and the short tube or between both as shown. Instead of extension tube 30 and short tube 31 alternative arrangements may be used to prevent the relative rotation of the seat tubes such as rotation locking springs, a lug projecting from the inner tube which engages a slot in the outer tube or elongate ridges on one tube which cooperate with channels on the other. As shown, the chain stays 18 may be welded to the down tube 12 at a point along the tube's length rather that at the conventional position adjacent the bottom bracket.
Patent GB-2321368-A (GB)
Title: Routing signals through a wireless communication system comprising a network of linked nodes
Inventor: HUGHES PHILIP THOMAS
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1997-12-18
Abstract: A wireless communication system comprises a network of nodes 2 connected by point-to-point links 3 using highly directional antennae. Each node determines if a received signal includes information for another node and if so, a signal including the information is transmitted to another node. Information is routed or hopped from node to node until it reaches its destination node. The nodes may be subscriber stations or repeaters. Various network topologies are described including fully interconnected, linear chain, tree, lattice, hypercube and combinations. Multiple paths for signal transmission can be chosen each consisting of an even number of links to maintain synchronisation of transmission and reception between nodes. A copy of the information may be sent on a different path or the information may be split between two paths. Traffic is routed by addresses added at each node or by a central system controller, and may be determined by congestion or node availability. Each link from a node may be associated with one or more time slots for transmission or reception. At least one link of a node may use a different frequency to prevent interference.

Title: Mouth blown, free reed, musical instrument
Inventor: PENNINGTON MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: G10D7/12
Filed: 1998-02-10
Abstract: The instrument has a circular soundbox 13 with circular reed platform or individual reeds 14, and circular casings. 10 and 11. Reeds can be arranged to play a single tune. Soundbox/reed combinations can be changed. Another application (Fig.4) mounts a circular instrument on a stand (15) which also supports a sheet music holder (20). The soundbox has reeds for the diatonic scale on one side and for the chromatic scale on the other. The soundbox/reed combination rotates within the mouthpiece band (12) a handle (16) on the casing 10 facilitates turning. A flexible extension (18) from the single mouthpiece hole, fitted with a sprung mechanism to change from diatonic to chromatic scales, at the top of the mouthpiece band, enables the player to sit within viewing distance of the casing which is marked on its edge with staves (19) and symbols representing adjacent notes. This allows learners to compare the note on the music score with the one played.

Title: Radiant heater for food display unit with infrared source and emitter plate
Inventor: DOUCE TREVOR
IPC: H05B3/00
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: A radiant heater includes a housing containing an infrared radiation source (26) such as a quartz halogen lamp. The housing has an opening which is partially covered by an emitter plate (30) and may be made from perforated metal. The emitter plate (30) absorbs a proportion of the radiation from the infrared source, either directly or by reflection from reflector plates (28) and top plate (22). This causes the plate to heat up to at least 100{C and emit infrared radiation of a longer wavelength than the direct source radiation. The heater may be used to maintain the temperature of heated food in a display unit, where the radiant heaters are mounted on the underside of the shelves (4) and the canopy (6), as longer wavelength radiation is better absorbed by the food.

Title: Video data compression with scene change detection
Inventor: ROBERTS TIMOTHY STUART
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1999-06-21
Abstract: A video data compression apparatus comprises a motion vector generator for performing block matching by detecting block differences between a block of one image and a plurality of blocks of an adjacent image for generating a motion vector from the pair of blocks having the best match.
