Title: Tre root deflector
Inventor: BOWIE DEAN ANTHONY
IPC: A01G9/28
Filed: 1996-03-23
Abstract: A tree root deflector is of thin (1mm) polypropylene or other similar sheet material formed as by rolling with channels spaced apart at regular pitch intervals and closed at at least one end, the channels extending widthwise if the sheet material. The deflector D is buried vertically with one longitudinal edge set at about ground surface level, with the channel projections towards the tree position, so that horizontally growing roots are deflected downwardly to emerge beneath the deflector at a depth such that adjacent pavements, and the like will not be undermined by their continuing growth. The channels become filled with compacted earth, the end-walls then serving as ground locks for the deflector, resisting displacement of the same under e.g. root forces. The deflector is coilable to facilitate transport.

Abstract: An electrical data transmission system comprises a BCM 10 and an ASIC 12, interconnected by a serial link (11) which comprises two lines (J, M). The serial link 11 is operative in one of two modes. The first mode is a synchronous mode wherein one of the lines (J, M) acts as a data line and the other (M, J) acts as a synchronisation line; the second mode is an asynchronous mode wherein one of the lines (J, M) is adapted to carry asynchronous data. The serial link 11 is arranged to automatically reconfigure itself to operate in the asynchronous mode if the synchronous mode breaks down. <IMAGE>

Title: Database using table rotation and bimapped queries
Inventor: EMERSON MICHAEL GENE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1994-10-24
Abstract: A system to enhance query performance. The query is performed on a modified database in which data entries for each field are stored contiguously across all records. The query is parsed (32) into portions directed to each field referenced by the query. Each portion is searched over the contiguous entries of the appropriate data field. A bitmap is generated (36) by producing a string of bits, each bit representing a record, and setting bits corresponding to records that satisfy the query. The resulting bitmaps are combined (38) to produce the results of the original query. The preferred embodiment is a direct marketing database on a client server system using a spreadsheet like interface for query manipulation. Data segmentation, ad hoc requests and systematic research are allowed. A suite of reports specific to the needs of direct marketers may be produced on a regular basis.
Patent GB-2301242-A (GB)
Title: Transmission level control using two amplifiers, one providing amplification or attenuation
Inventor: AKIYA MAKOTO
IPC: H03G3/30
Filed: 1996-05-22
Abstract: A transmission level control circuit includes a negative feedback control loop and a level setting controller. A first amplifier 101 amplifies an input signal by a variable amplification factor to produce a first signal. A second amplifier 104 receives the first signal and produces a second signal according to a control signal CS PD such that the first signal is amplified when the control signal is in a first state and the first signal is attenuated when the control signal is in a second state. An output signal produced by a third amplifier 106 amplifying the second signal is monitored by a detector 107 which detects the output level of the output signal. The output level is compared in a comparator 108 with a reference, and applied through an up/down counter 109 to a digital to analogue switch 110 and thence to control the first amplifier 101. The negative feedback control operates when the control signal CS PD is in the first state, and when the control signal is in the second state level setting control is performed such that the variable amplification factor is set so as to set the output level at a relatively lower level. To this end the control signal CS PD is applied to the up/down counter 109 and to a selector switch 112 applying an input from a ROM 111 to the counter.

Patent GB-2316139-A (GB)
Title: A CVT with variable rates of shifting
Inventor: YUASA HIROYUKI
IPC: F16H9/00
Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: When the control system signals that an up-shift is required it is determined which of three conditions of operation of the engine throttle are involved, viz. the throttle opening remaining nearly constant, the throttle being moved to a substantially closed position or a the throttle being closed to a half opened state and the rate of up-shifting of the ratio is controlled in dependance on which of the three conditions is present. When a down-shift is signalled it is determined whether the throttle is opening or the vehicle speed is decreasing and the rate of down-shifting is set in accordance with this. The system allows the rate at which the ratio is changed to be appropriate for the driving conditions.

Title: Filtration system with bypass
Inventor: COTTON PAUL ALEXANDER
IPC: B01D35/02
Filed: 1997-07-15
Abstract: A fluid filtration system (10) for use in an oil lubricating system comprises two filtration elements (17,18) arranged in parallel with each other. One of the filtration elements (17) is associated with a flow diverter (21) which acts to divert fluid flowing through the system in such a way that the majority of that fluid flows through the other of said filtration elements (18). In the event that the other filtration element (18) becomes blocked, all of the fluid flows through the original filtration element (17), thereby providing continuity of filtration of the fluid.

Title: A method of making a tissue product
Inventor: WENDT GREG ARTHUR
IPC: D21F1/00
Filed: 1995-04-12
Abstract: In a method of making an uncreped throughdried tissue product an aqueous suspension of papermaking fibers having a consistency of about 20 percent or greater is mechanically worked at a temperature of about 60{C or greater, the suspension is diluted to a consistency of about 0.5 percent or less and the diluted suspension is fed to a layered tissue-making headbox (10) providing two or more layers. A temporary or permanent wet strength additive is included in one or more of the layers. The diluted aqueous suspension is deposited onto a forming fabric (12) to form a wet web, which is then dewatered to a consistency of from about 20 to about 30 percent. The dewatered web is transferred to a transfer fabric (17) travelling at a speed of from about 10 to about 80 percent slower than the forming fabric. The web is then transferred to a throughdrying fabric (19) whereby the web is macroscopically rearranged to conform to the surface of the throughdrying fabric, and the web is throughdryed to final dryness. Finally, the web is calendered.
