Title: 3D computer surface model generation
Inventor: BAUMBERG ADAM MICHAEL
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2003-09-05
Abstract: A 3D computer model of an object is generated by processing a preliminary 3D computer model and data defining the silhouette of the object in images recorded at different positions and orientations. Processing comprises calculating smoothing parameters to smooth the preliminary model dependent upon widths of parts of the silhouettes, calculating displacements to move surface points in the preliminary model to positions closer to the projection of the silhouette boundaries in 3D space, and moving surface points in the preliminary model in accordance with the smoothing parameters and displacements. The preliminary model is smoothed to different extents in different areas of the surface, resulting in a surface in which unwanted artefacts are smoothed but thin features representing features present on the subject are not over-smoothed.

Title: Print continue monitoring
Inventor: ZERZA WENDY L
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2003-09-24
Abstract: A method for printing with a printer (110, 210) includes detecting a possible wasted page condition (310, 410), and interrupting a print job (312. 414) in response to the possible wasted page condition (310, 410). A wasted page condition (310, 410) can be the monitoring the printer (110, 210) for any waste of a consumable that will increase the cost per page to print. The cost per wasted page can be approximated (412), and when the approximated cost per wasted page is above a selected threshold level, the print job is interrupted (414). A list of options is then presented to a user interface to allow the user to select a course of action. A printing apparatus (110, 210) implements this method. The controller (130, 230) is programmed to interrupt the print job and present the options to the user interface.

Title: A folding bed chair
Inventor: POWELL JEFFREY VERNON
IPC: A47C17/70
Filed: 2004-11-30
Abstract: A folding bed chair unit comprises a frame over which cushioning can be stretched and supported and having pairs of legs secured thereto which in use support the frame clear of the ground, at least some of which are pivotally attached to the frame to allow them to be folded parallel to the latter when the unit is to be folded up. The frame is divided into at least four sections, two end sections and two intermediate sections, each of which is hingedly joined to an adjoining section to allow the two intermediate sections each to pivot through approximately 90{ and each end section to be folded through approximately 180{ relative to its adjoining intermediate section. As the frame sections are pivoted to fold up the unit, it approximates to the shape of a letter W when viewed from the side. The frame sections and legs are formed from metal tubing. In a preferred embodiment the frame is divided into five sections comprising two intermediate sections of equal length, two shorter end sections and a much shorter central section which is hingedly joined at its opposite ends to the inboard ends of the two intermediate sections. The central section bridges a space between the two intermediate sections which accommodates at least one pair of the legs when they are folded towards one another. Each of the legs is telescopically extendable, and the ground-engaging end of each leg comprises a foot which may comprise a large area pad which is pivotally joined to the end of the leg to accommodate uneven terrain and prevent the legs from sinking into soft ground. Where a third leg assembly is secured to the central frame section, it is rigidly secured thereto or integrally formed therewith. A strap is securable around the folded assembly to compress the cushioning and reduce the overall size of the folded unit.

Title: A semiconductor film comprising domains of an organic semiconductor and a method of its fabrication
Inventor: RUSSELL DAVID
IPC: H01L51/40
Filed: 2005-09-20
Abstract: According to a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor film comprising a first step of providing a solution comprising a first organic semiconductor and a second organic semiconductor on a surface of a substrate. The solution is then dried to form the semiconductor film so that it comprises discrete domains of the first organic semiconductor in a matrix of the second organic semiconductor which electrically connects adjacent domains of the first organic semiconductor. The first and second semiconductors are of the same conductivity type. The mobility of charge carriers in the domains of the first organic semiconductor is higher than the mobility of charge carriers in the matrix of the second organic semiconductor. In alternative aspects, the present invention provides methods forming similar semiconductor film products but in which a solution of the first organic semiconductor is deposited separately from the second organic semiconductor and dried to form discrete domains. The present invention also provides a semiconductor film such as produced by the above methods in which both the first and second organic semiconductors are thiophenes.

Patent GB-2433381-A (GB)
Title: Resonant circuits
Inventor: HILL NICHOLAS PATRICK ROLAND
IPC: H03H7/01
Filed: 2005-12-16
Abstract: A controllable resonant circuit e.g. for an RFID or a tag reader, comprises an inductor L1 and capacitors C1, C2, C3. A stimulus square wave generates an oscillation in the resonant circuit. A non-linear element FET1 is able to change the amount of capacitance according to whether it is conducting or not. The switching point of FET1 is controlled by its gate voltage, such that the resonant frequency changes according to the mark/space ratio of the oscillation. The change in resonant frequency also affects the amplitude of the relevant portions of the oscillation, such that the overall amplitude of the oscillation is thus controlled by the mark/space ratio. The tag may be an implanted tag for a cat, and detection of the tag by the reader leads to operation of a cat flap.
