Title: Electromagnetic loudspeaker
Inventor: SMITH JONATHAN NEIL
IPC: H04R9/04
Filed: 1995-02-28
Abstract: With particular reference to Figure 6, an electromagnetic loudspeaker has an element (14, Figure 4) movable for sound generation, comprising an electromagnetically driven sheet of untensioned material. The movable element (14) is flat and is mounted by its edges in the lower portion of the frame (2) by a "roll surround" (13, Figure 5). The movable element comprises a sheet (17) of COBEX polymer having thickness 0.5 mm. A conducting pattern (18) (Figure 4) and magnets (20, Figure 6) co-operate to provide electromagnetic means for driving the sheet (17). Spaces (12a and 12b) provide room for two rows of an array comprising four rigid rod members (21), said rod members (21) being spaced inwardly of the sheet (17) on its edges. Each rod member (21) is connected by one end to a mounting point on the sheet (17) (not shown), and by the other end, via an elastomeric washer (22, Figure 7) of neoprene located at the rear of the array of magnets (20), to a metal mounting ring (23) attached to the rear of the array of magnets (20). Twelve more rod members (21) shown are also spaced inwardly of the sheet (17) from its edges, and outwardly of the firstmentioned rod members (21) in spaces (12a and 12b). The sixteen rod members (21) of this example, in combination with the "roll surround" (13), approximates to an all-over mounting for the sheet (17). The neoprene washers (22) serve as spring means and provide damping, and the "roll surround" (13) serves as an additional spring means and provides further system damping.

Patent GB-2320626-A (GB)
Title: Cooking utensil detection for a glass-ceramic cook top
Inventor: SCOTT RICHARD CHARLES
IPC: H05B3/74
Filed: 1996-12-19
Abstract: A glass-ceramic top cooking appliance has a cooking utensil sensor coil (5,Fig.1) within magnetic influence of a resistive heating element (3). Sensor coil (5) controls a relay switch 14 in series with the element (3). The heating element comprises a material which is ferromagnetic below and substantially non-ferromagnetic above its Curie temperature which lies within the operating temperature range of the heating element, so that the change in output signal from sensor (5) due to the element heating up, or cooling down, is of similar magnitude to the output change due to a cooking utensil being placed on, or removed from, the cook top. To minimise the problem arising from such interaction, a decrease in the output from sensor (5) is caused to open switch 14 and to start a timer. Detection of a subsequent decrease in sensor output before the timer times out is indicative of the first decrease being due to removal of a cooking utensil and the second decrease being due to cooling of the heating element; in this case switch 14 is not closed in response to the timer timing out (Figs.9,12). If the second decrease is not detected in the timer period, the first decrease is indicative of the element cooling following opening of an energy regulator switch (13, Fig.4) or opening of a temperature limiter switch (10, Fig.2); in this case switch 14 is closed when the timer times out to enable re-energisation of the heater by reclosing of the energy regulator switch or the temperature limiter switch (Figs.10,11). Detection of an increase in output from sensor (5) at any time causes switch 14 to close, if not already closed.

Patent GB-2332762-A (GB)
Title: System for supplying circuit model data
Inventor: ALI ANWAR
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: A technique is described for supplying circuit model data to circuit developers to characterise the circuit and to enable the developers to simulate operation of the circuit (typically a core) in a target environment. In a pre-processing stage 10 raw (or golden) data representing the circuit in different model views, and model generators 16 for converting the raw data into usable model data for predetermined proprietary circuit modelling and design software tools, are stored in libraries, and transferred to a database 24. The database stores information in two categories, the golden core data 24a and the model generators 24b, and is supplied to the circuit developers. In order to obtain a circuit model, an appropriate model generator is accessed from the database. Running the generator program automatically retrieves the appropriate raw model data from the database, and converts the raw data into an appropriate circuit model, which is output at a stage 34 to the user's circuit design tools. The technique avoids the coreware engineers having to maintain a large number of circuit model files representing the circuit in different formats for different proprietary circuit design tools, and can provide more seamless generation of a model for a target environment.

Title: Imager with pre-charge circuit for reducing current spikes
Inventor: PYYHTIA JOUNI ILARI
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1998-10-26
Abstract: An imaging device for radiation imaging is an array of image cells. The array of image cells consists of an array of detector cells and an array of image cell circuits. Each detector cell is connected to the corresponding cell in the array of image cell circuits. Each individual cell in the detector cell array generates a charge based on the radiation that hits the cell. Each cell in the array of image cell circuits accumulates the charge on a storage capacitor. The storage capacitor can be, for example, the gate of a transistor. The read out line is pre-charged 204 prior to read out to reduce the effect of parasitic capacitance 194 (current spikes) in the read out line. Single cells in the array of image cells may be grouped together to form larger area super cells (Fig.4). The size of the super cell can be controlled by control signals, which select the operating mode. The output from a cell, a single cell or a super cell, is read out in current mode and is scaled according to the size of the cell. Several modes can be implemented in the imaging device. Also, an imaging system for larger area radiation imaging may be implemented by connecting several imaging devices together in form of a two-dimensional array.

Title: Improvements in, or relating to,the control of buoyancy underwater at great depths
Inventor: STANGROOM DR JAMES EDWARD
IPC: B63G8/22
Filed: 1999-07-09
Abstract: In conventional controllable buoyancy equipment, an incompressible liquid such as oil, is pumped between a pressure proof container filled with low pressure gas and an external flexible envelope. In one aspect of the present invention, the pressure-proof container is filled with gas at a pressure equivalent to the operating depth. This converts the compression stress on the container at depth to tensile loads on the surface, which are much easier to accommodate, and reduces the power needed to achieve a given rate of change of buoyancy. In a second aspect of the invention, the liquid is replaced by the pressuring gas, reducing the total weight and allowing larger ranges of buoyancy to be covered.

Title: Method system and compositions for rendering harmless contaminants
Inventor: RITTER ROBERT A
IPC: C09K17/00
Filed: 1992-12-01
Abstract: A method is provided for the treatment of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil by chemical hydrolysis and/or oxidation of the hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. The method includes using lime which has been conditioned with a novel hydrophobizing agent. The novel hydrophobizing agent comprises a liquid blend of a specified mixture of liquid fatty acids having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms and a specified mixture of glycerides of fatty acids having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms. The conditioned lime is blended with physically-preconditioned, i.e. having a maximum grain size of 5 cm, moist, hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, the blending providing a degree of dispersion at least near microscopic level. A charge of the blended conditioned lime/soil is conveyed to an enclosed, inclined reaction vessel, where hydration of the lime is carried out. The heat of the hydration reaction is retained within the vessel, so that hydrolysis of the fatty acid conditioner and/or hydrocarbon contaminants in the soil is effected. Air or oxygen-enriched air is substantially-simultaneously introduced into the reaction vessel together with steam and/or water as required by the chemical reactions, thereby to effect a flameless, intermediate-temperature oxidation of the hydrocarbons or their hydrolyzed degradation products. Decontaminated soil product is discharged from the reaction vessel by passing the soil product, in dry, dusty hydrophobic form through a treating zone where it is sprayed with a surfactant. The surfactant-treated solid is passed to a blender where it is mixed with sufficient water to provide a substantially dust-free clean product. <IMAGE>
