Title: Road transport network incident or accident re-construction method
Inventor: PARRY DAVID IWAN
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2004-10-08
Abstract: A method of re-constructing a road transport network incident or accident comprises the step of obtaining image data, using an array of camera units 150-158, prior to and/or during the incident. The method comprises the steps of determining from the image data whether sufficient information has been obtained to re-construct the road transport network incident or accident; and basing an operational road transport network decision on an outcome of the determining step. The determination step may be performed automatically. In this manner, the time taken to re-open a road transport network after a network incident can be minimised. This aids the reduction of congestion on the network.

Title: Air guide in vehicle engine bay
Inventor: KNOCKL RAINER
IPC: F01P11/10
Filed: 2006-06-17
Abstract: An air guide is disclosed for a bonnet-covered engine bay of a goods vehicles, in particular agricultural tractors, where under the bonnet are located a combustion engine (1), components under high thermal load and low thermal load, and a fan which generates an air flow which is directed through air guide ducts past the combustion engine into the open.

Title: Method for initializing non-volatile storage device, and non-volatile storage device
Inventor: KAWABATA SHOZO
IPC: G11C16/20
Filed: 2004-07-29
Abstract: When an initialization operation is started, a busy state indication that an access operation is disabled is set (S11) and read operation information is read out with a higher priority by using a verifying sense amplifier (4) and a read-out sense amplifier (3) (S12). When the latch of the read-out operation information is complete (Y in S13), a ready state is set indicating that a read-out access operation from a non-redundant memory area is enabled (S14) and a ready signal is outputted in response to read-out access request to the redundant memory area from outside. In parallel with the read-out of the operation information, a boot program and the like in the non-redundant memory area can be read out. Subsequently, redundant information is read out (S15) and when the read-out is complete, a ready state is set indicating that a read-out access operation from all the memory areas is enabled (S17). After this, read-out of the rewrite operation information is performed (S18). Thus, it is possible to reduce the time from the start of the initialization operation to the start of the read-out access operation.

Title: A MOS antenna switch with substrate switching and source to substrate coupling for improved isolation and reduced distortion
Inventor: LEE CHANG HO
IPC: H03K17/687
Filed: 2007-11-30
Abstract: A receive branch in a transmit-receive switch uses a cascade of MOS transistors 408,410,412 in which the body (substrate) of the last transistor 412 is switched to earth during transmission to improve OFF isolation. The negative excursion of the source of 212 is clamped by the source-substrate diode. This prevents the formation of a channel. The bodies and sources of the transistors 408 and 410 are connected together to short out the source-body diodes. This improves isolation at higher transmission powers and reduces distortion. The body of 412 floats during reception, reducing insertion loss. The TR switch may be integrated in a CMOS IC. The TR switch may be used in a dual-band mobile telephone.
