Title: Laptop Display Reorientation System
Inventor: WILLETT PETER
IPC: G06F1/16
Filed: 2005-11-28
Abstract: A laptop computer has a display that may be manually re-orientated to enable the user to view the display in normal landscape, normal portrait, reversed landscape or revered portrait mode. The display can also be elevated to a more ergonomic position. In the portrait orientation the user is able to view the display in a similar aspect to an A4 sheet thus optimising the font size for typical word processing applications and reducing the need for scrolling. The mechanism includes a landscape/portrait mode switch that changes state when the display rotates between landscape and portrait orientations. The switch signals the laptop operating system of the current orientation mode thereby allowing applications to automatically adjust the display for optimum settings.

Title: Vehicle seat with airbag and inflation guide member
Inventor: TRACHT MICHAEL L
IPC: B60R21/207
Filed: 2005-12-01
Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly 10 has a back panel 28 which provides a door 76, defined by a hinge 80 and pre-weakened section 78, through which an inflating airbag may pass when the inflation causes the pre-weakened section to break.

Title: Braking distance indicator for windscreen
Inventor: DOHERTY GERARD
IPC: G01C3/22
Filed: 2006-02-09
Abstract: A distance indicator is defined as simply a horizontal line on a windscreen that drivers can use to determine if they are at a safe braking distance from the vehicle in front of them at a glance by dropping their eyes from a generally horizontal line of sight. A method of positioning the indicator is also defined. Before sticking a black distance indicator line inside the windscreen, the driver adjusts his seat correctly and parks his vehicle at a suitable braking distance from another vehicle. A temporary sheet (see figure 4) may be used on the outside of the windscreen to assist in the method. This sheet may be provided with 9 numbered parallel horizontal lines. When one of the numbered lines is viewed in line with a position low on the vehicle parked in front, the driver sticks the indicator line in a corresponding position inside the windscreen.

Patent GB-2429809-A (GB)
Title: A method for processing data multiplication in a disk array
Inventor: SCHNAPP MICHAEL GORDON
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2006-09-01
Abstract: The invention discloses a method and controller for processing data multiplication in a RAID system. The method relies on using the properties of a Galois field. The first step (200) produces map tables for values in a Galois field domain GF(2<a>) according to the algebraic rules of a Galois field. In a second step (300) an XOR operation unit is enlarged to an appropriate length w to create a multiplication unit of w.a bits. The final step is to use the mapping tables and the operation rules to operate on a data sector of w bits to compute a multiplication of the Galois field online (400). The map tables can be generated in real time or at start up of the system. In a specific embodiment the method is used to reduce the number of calculations required when using parity sets to recover data from two or more disks having errors within a RAID6 array.

Title: Adhesive bandage
Inventor: KELSEY STEVEN NIGEL
IPC: A61F13/02
Filed: 2007-08-16
Abstract: The present invention provides an adhesive bandage 1 having a flexible base layer 2 and a wound-covering pad 4. A surface of the base layer 2 is coated with an adhesive. At least one perforation 6 or other line of separation extends from an outer edge 2c of the base layer 2 between a pair of adjacent regions 8, 10 of the base layer.
