Title: Temperature stabilised liquid crystal device
Inventor: ASAKAWA KATSUMI
IPC: G09F9/00
Filed: 1997-10-28
Abstract: A transmission mode optical device in which a thin film heater, made of either a transparent single film or a multiple strip matrix (47), is disposed on or near to liquid crystal modulating elements. Such a device, or plurality of devices (12, 13, 14), is used in a projection system whereby temperature detectors (24, 25, 26, 27) and heater elements (18, 19, 20) form part of a temperature control loop in conjunction with cooling fans (22, 23). The heating element can heat the display area non-uniformly (47a, 47b, 47c) to overcome temperature gradients that degrade the projected image. The advantage is that a projection liquid crystal display may be brought rapidly to, and maintained at, optimum operating temperature in cold ambient conditions.

The casing is designed to compress permanently when struck at a specific point with a predetermined amount of external pressure. No explosive material is contained in the casing.
Patent GB-2334634-A (GB)
Title: Circuit for hold-up of power supply to an ECU
Inventor: DAVIES GARRY RAYMOND
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 1998-02-24
Abstract: A microprocessor acting as an electronic control unit (ECU), for example in a vehicle, has a voltage supply circuit of the type which uses a capacitor C2 to maintain supply to the ECU during temporary interruptions in an incoming supply B+. The supply circuit charges the capacitor C2 to a voltage above that of the supply B+ to enable the stored energy to be boosted. The capacitor C2 may be charged continuously from the supply B+ via a charge pump 24 acting as an n-th order voltage multiplier. The ECU is supplied via a voltage regulator 10. During normal operation, a transistor Tr2 is non-conducting. When the input voltage to the regulator 10 falls below a threshold, a comparator 20 causes a transistor Tr1 to turn on transistor Tr2 to connect the capacitor C2 to the input of the regulator 10. A voltage divider R1, R2, comparator 20 and transistor Tr1 may act to control the conduction of transistor Tr2 so that the input to regulator 10 is held at a fixed voltage, usually just above the worst-case drop-out voltage of the regulator 10. Alternatively, the capacitor C2 is simply connected to regulator 10 via an instantaneous low impedance switching method.

Title: vehicle seat with back/seat relative position indicator
Inventor: CORRIGALL ROBERT ANTHONY
IPC: B60N2/427
Filed: 1998-02-25
Abstract: In vehicle front seating which allows the back squab to be reclined, the back squab can be reclined to positions which will not provide adequate support for the occupant during a collision. To overcome this problem, a motor vehicle seat arrangement is disclosed which indicates to the occupant of the seat when the seat base and back are in a safe relative position for driving. The arrangement comprises a seat base 1 with a back squab 2 pivotally mounted about a pivot cam 5. The pivot cam includes an indent 6 which is engaged by an indicator arm 4 such that the position of the end 7 of the the indicator arm indicates to the seat occupant the relative positions of the seat base and back. The indicator may produce an audible noise, or contact the occupant, or may operate an indicator device on the dashboard. The cam may have a deformable or frangible surface so that the user of the seat can set his own preferred position.
Patent GB-2334763-A (GB)
Title: A hydraulic motor
Inventor: AMARASINGAM BOBBY PREMARAJAN
IPC: F03C1/03
Filed: 1998-02-26
Abstract: A hydraulic motor, powered, for example, by a head of water from a river, comprises a pair of pistons - each reciprocating in a cylinder - and linked together, an inlet pipe 15 for supplying water to the bottom of the cylinders and an outlet pipe 16 for draining the water from the cylinders. The motor has a valve A12 positioned in the inlet pipe 15 for selectively directing water to one of the cylinders and a valve B12 positioned in the outlet for selectively draining one of the cylinders. In operation as shown in figure 1 water flows through pipe 15 and into the cylinder on the left causing piston A2 to rise. This movement is translated through rod A3 to crank 10 and also causes piston B2 to descend. At the same time water drains from the cylinder in which piston B2 reciprocates. When piston A2 reaches the top of its stroke, valves A12 and B12 are flipped over by shafts A13 and B13 which are connected to the link so that water now flows into the cylinder on the right.

Title: I.c. engine fuel injector having a press-in insert interconnecting high pressure fuel passages
Inventor: MARTIN DAVID E
IPC: F02M61/16
Filed: 1998-09-18
Abstract: The fuel injector includes a barrel 100 having at least one high pressure fuel passage 102, 109 leading from a plunger recess 104 to the base surface 106 of a circular insert recess 108 into which an insert 110 is interference-fitted. The insert 110 has (a) a surface 112  facing the base surface 106 and spaced therefrom to form a passage 114, (b) a central valve bore 118, (c) a valve seat 124 against which a spill valve poppet (90, fig.2) seats and (d) a passage 140 which may align with the passage 102 in barrel 100. The passage 114 thus interconnects the high pressure passages 102 and 140 and also the bores 122 and 118 thereby obviating the need for conventional drilled passages. Passage 114 experiences less stress than conventional passages so structural failure is less likely.

Title: Improvements in or relating to oil absorbent materials
Inventor: COULTHARD JONATHAN ROBERT
IPC: D04H1/492
Filed: 1999-07-28
Abstract: A method of making an oil absorbing cloth is disclosed comprising the steps of providing oleophilic fibres, carding them into a web and treating the web to make a mechanically strong cloth. Polypropylene fibres are disclosed and needle punching the crossfolded web is used to create the cloth. Needle punching creates interstices, through which water can pass while the oil is adsorbed on to the fibre surfaces. The cloths are mechanically strong when wet and can be wrung out to release much of the oil collected and allow the cloths to be reused. The cloths may be placed in drains to filter rainwater and collect any oil in the runoff. They may also be used to filter process or cooling water before return to watercourses, etc.
