Title: Sports cue training aid
Inventor: JOHNSON NEIL GERARD
IPC: A63D15/08
Filed: 2009-07-10
Abstract: A sport cue training aid to improve player performance comprises a tapered cue with one or more dislocating/deforming joints positioned along the cues length. If a player applies an uneven pressure to the cue from the players hand/arm movements during a cuing action then the joint/s will dislocate or deform providing the player with feedback indicating an incorrect cuing action. The joint/s may include a spring mechanism which allows the joint to rotate through 360 degrees and to automatically self centre. The range of motion may also be restricted to lateral only and vertical only movement through the use of one of more hinge joint mechanisms. Preferably the joint/s automatically self centre when uneven pressure is released but the joint/s can be manually reset to a centre position.

Title: User equipment transmits signals in consideration of a time alignment timer
Inventor: PARK SUNG JUN
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2009-08-28
Abstract: A method for transmitting and receiving signals in consideration of a time alignment timer (TAT), which a user equipment (UE) runs after receiving a time alignment command (TAC) from a base station (BS) S1201. The UE performs initial transmission or retransmission of an uplink signal S1204 using wireless resources corresponding to an uplink grant signal received from the BS S1202 only when the TAT of the UE is running S1203. Similarly, the UE does not transmit a HARQ feedback signal to a BS for a downlink signal received from the BS when the TAT of the UE is not running (fig.13). Since the UE is not always located at a fixed position, the transmission timing of the UE changes, so when a TAC is received from the BS, the UE assumes that the TAC is valid only for a specific time, i.e. the UE assumes that it is in time synchronisation with the BS only when the TAT is running.

Title: Toy missile
IPC: A63H27/14
Filed: 1960-03-24
Abstract: 889,233. Toy missiles. QUERCETTI, A. March 24, 1960 [March 24, 1959], No. 10396/60. Class 132(3) [Also in Group XXI]  A toy missile comprises a casing having two parts 1, 3, hinged together at 2, which pivot open at the highest point in the missiles' flight. The parts 1, 3 are held closed during the missile's ascent by a longitudinally sliding latch 4 controlled by an L-shaped balancing unit 8 pivoted at 9. The latch is urged by a rubber ring 5 or a spring to the open position but, as shown in Fig. 2, is held closed by a pin 7 on the unit 8 bearing against tongues 6. The tension in the rubber ring tends to pivot the unit 8 to the position shown in broken lines and thus release the latch but, during upward flight of the missile, this pivoting is prevented by the effect of the air flow on an aerodynamic tongue 12 provided on the longer arm of the unit 8. At the highest point of the missile's flight, the air speed is a minimum and the tension in the rubber ring is then sufficient for the tongues 6 to pivot the unit 8 out of their way thus allowing the latch to open and the casing part 3 to pivot open and release any contents which may be present. The contents may comprise a parachutist or a device for slowing the missile's descent, e.g. a parachute or rotor.

Abstract: 568,469. Glass. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and PARTRIDGE, J. H. July 2, 1943, No. 10775. Drawings to Specification. [Class 56] A glass of low thermal expansion (e.g. between 0.8Î10<-6> and 1.5Î10<-6> per degree centigrade) which in founding is maintained at nearly 2000‹ C. for 24 hours or more is composed mainly of SiO2 and Al2O3 to which a small percentage of an alkaline earth oxide is added. Barium oxide is the preferred oxide ; not more than 1¢ per cent, and preferably only “ per cent, is used. 10 to 15 per cent of the SiO2 may be replaced by boric oxide. The addition of the BaO appreciably increases the electrical conductivity of the glass at 2000‹ C. which reduces the power necessary for the heating which is carried out in part by the passage of current through immersed tungsten electrodes and in part by oxy-coal-gas flames playing over the surface of the glass. The furnace is lined with zircon blocks. Specifications 463,889 and 467,362 are referred to.

Abstract: 625,205. Dynamo-electric machines. ELECTROLUX, Ltd. April 23, 1947, No. 10874. Convention date, April 26, 1946. [Class 35] [Also in Group XXXVII] A device for regulating the supply of current to an electric motor fan unit, having a starting resistance or a starting winding inserted in the motor circuit on starting, and producing an air stream flowing through a tubular casing, such as a vacuum cleaner, includes a member for actuating a switch to regulate the currentsupply, which member is disposed on the side of the fan opposite to the fan inlet and is movable in response to the suction effect produced by the fan and past which air continuously flows during operation irrespective of the speed of rotation of the motor fan unit. An electric motor 24 drives a centrifugal fan 33 and has its starting resistance or starting winding removed by the actuation of switchcontacts through the movement of a screen 37 which affords substantially no resistance to the air stream. The screen 37 is mounted on a bearing shield 21 by means of studs 38 and is held in position by an adjustable spring 41 which normally forces the screen against a stop-pin 43. The lower part of the screen carries a contact 44 which is adapted to short. circuit hook-shaped contact-pins 46, and so remove the starting-resistance or winding when the suction-effect of the fan overcomes the bias of the spring 41. In a modification (Figs. 3 and 4, not shown), the switch-contacts are mounted on the shield 21 and are closed by the movement of a bridge-piece attached to the screen 37. The stop-pin 43 is replaced by a lug which also acts as an insulating screen between the member 37 and the contacts.
