Patent GB-2327789-A (GB)
Title: Portable distress pennant and staff
Inventor: TURNBULL PETER JOHN
IPC: G08B5/00
Filed: 1997-05-20
Abstract: A distress pennant permanently affixed to a telescopic staff which is mounted on four retractable legs. The device may be retracted into a compact carrying mode of only a few inches in length and circumference. The device being made of lightweight alloys and synthetic fabric or cotton in respect of the pennant itself would be easily carried when in retracted mode. The pennant itself is composed of a series of distinctive colours plus a reflective strip to exploit sunlight. It would thus be easily distinguished in a barren landscape by a rescue party especially if the rescue party had access to artificial lenses. The telescopic nature of the staff would allow the pennant to be deployed some feet above the ground in light airs, yet be appropriately partially retracted to avoid it being damaged in strong winds.

Title: Improving speech intelligibility in noisy enviromnment
Inventor: MCLOUGHLIN IAN VINCE
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 1998-07-01
Abstract: The characteristics of the speech received by the decoding unit are altered by a processing unit 10 based upon an analysis of the listener's current background noise before the speech is output to enhance its intelligibility to a listener. An analysis unit 12 determines the type and level of the background noise by use of a microphone 13. A decision unit 11 then determines whether the speech currently being received and replayed would be intelligible to an average listener in the current background noise. If unit 11 determines that the speech is readily intelligible then no processing is necessary and the processing unit 10 does not alter the speech which has been passed to it. However, if unit 11 determines that the speech would be unintelligible, then unit 10 alters the speech before passing it to the output to make the speech more intelligible. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the speech characteristics are altered by altering line spectral pair/formant data representing the speech.

Patent GB-2342937-A (GB)
Title: Riser guide and support mechanism
Inventor: FINN DAVID LYLE
IPC: E21B17/01
Filed: 1999-09-22
Abstract: A support and guide assembly is used with a riser pipe (22) and a floating vessel (10). One end of the riser is connected to the sea floor and the other passes into the floating vessel (10) through a buoyancy can stem (18), which extends almost along the entire length of the vessel. The support guide assembly has a centralising element (26), fig 2, attached to the riser pipe near the lower end of the buoyancy can stem. There is also a bend limiting element (28), attached to the riser pipe, which extends above and below the centralising element. The bend limiting element (28) may be formed from at least two concentric pipes where the inner pipe extends a distance beyond the surrounding pipes. The bend limiting element may also be formed from thicker sections of riser pipe. The centralising elements may progressively decrease in size toward the lower end of the buoyancy can (fig 4, fig 6) and can be in the form of riser guide rings (34), which would increase in inner diameter toward the lower end of the buoyancy can stem. These would allow for the bend limiting element (28) to be eliminated.

Title: Microscopy imaging apparatus and method
Inventor: WILSON TONY
IPC: G02B21/36
Filed: 1998-04-03
Abstract: An object is illuminated by a light source (10) and a periodic pattern of transparent and non-transparent stripes is superimposed onto the object (0). At least three images are recorded at different spatial phases of the pattern by means of a microscope of shallow focal depth, and a three-dimensional image containing only in-focus detail is then derived from the recorded images by image processing which removes the periodic pattern. An illumination mask (14) or the interference fringes of two coherent beams generate the periodic pattern. The different spatial phases are generated by shifting the mask or adjusting the temporal phase difference of the coherent beams.

Title: COFDM demodulator circuit for a digital television receiver
Inventor: PARKER JONATHAN
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: A demodulator circuit for a multi carrier modulation scheme such as coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (COFDM) comprises a de-mapping block 1, de-interleaving block 2and Viterbi decoder 3. The de-mapping block comprises a channel state information (CSI) calculation block 11 and de-mapper 12. CSI for each carrier is used by the de-mapper to generate decision data for a received signal. Specifically, when the CSI is less than a first threshold (indicating SNR on the channel is good), soft decision data is assigned to the demapped bits in dependence on the distance to the nearest constellation point. When the CSI is less than a second higher threshold soft decision data is assigned in dependence on the position of the de-mapped bit within the Gray coding. When the CSI is less than a third higher threshold each de-mapped bit is given soft decision data indicating the lowest possible confidence level. When the CSI is greater than the third threshold the data bits are punctured. CSI can be calculated from the displacements of signal points from constellation points.

Patent GB-191413335-A (GB)
IPC: H01H53/10
Abstract: 13,335. Soc. d'ElectricitÚ de Paris. June 21, 1913. [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Induction relays; retarding and time-limit devices.-The disk A mounted loosely on the shaft 0 is driven by a rotating magnetic field, or by the reaction of a coil short-circuited in the field, produced by the current flowing in the relay and the disk is connected to the shaft by means of a spiral spring R located between a pin J on the disk and a fixed sleeve r on the shaft. Normally, the action of the spring maintains the pin J against a pin P on the sleeve r. When the disk rotates, against the action of the weight K or suspended on a cord passing round a cylindrical or cam-shaped drum N forming part of the wheel A against the action of an equivalent spring, the shaft 0 is driven and, by means of a toothed wheel E upon it, drives a pinion B on a shaft M carrying an adjustable fly-governor C. The toothed wheel E carries a finger S which, after a time-interval during which the wheel makes a certain angular movement, presses together two spring-contacts F, D and completes the relay circuit. By varying the weight K, the tension of the spiral spring R and the fly-governor C the starting- current of the relay and the time-interval before the relay closes the contacts F, D may be varied. A number of the relays may be connected in series to operate in a selected order.

Title: Method for automatically switching system of conveyor
Inventor: HANEDA KENICHI
IPC: B65G43/08
Filed: 1998-01-22
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stop a conveyor according to the content of failures without stopping all conveyors when failures are generated on the conveyor in switching of a system during the operation. SOLUTION: In a method for switching a system during the operation, in which an old A system is sequentially stopped by a selecting and starting command of a new system (A to C) during the operation of an old system (A to B), a B system is sequentially stopped (101 to 103), and a new C system is sequentially started, a conveyor BC failure detecting means is provided. When failures are generated (201) during delivering of the A system, if the failures are generated on an intermediate BC failure, the operation of a downstream BC and the B system is continued, delivering is performed, and the old system selection is released (203 to 210). If the failures are generated on a most downstream BC failure (211), the B system is sequentially stopped, delivering is performed, and the old system selection is released (212 to 215).  While, if the failures are generated on the A system, since the new system operation can not be performed, a new system selecting and starting command is released (231, 232) before switching to the new system.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain the exact number of objects by finding the number of high luminance areas inside a fringe in a picture data after a binarization. CONSTITUTION:A video signal outputted from a TV camera 11 is converted to a digital signal of '1' or '0' at a picture input part in a picture processor 100. The digital signal is inputted to a picture memory 14 through a switching circuit 13. When the input of one picture to the picture memory 14 is completed, the digital signal at the picture memory 14 is read out, and is inputted to a picture processor 15. The picture processor 15 recognizes the number of the objects by finding the number of the high luminance areas inside the fringe in the picture data after the binarization.
