Patent GB-0025809-D0 (GB)
Title: Dose dispensing apparatus
IPC: A61J7/02
Filed: 2000-10-20
Abstract: A dispensing system for controlled, especially remote controlled, dispensing of medicaments is disclosed. The system consists of a dispensing mechanism adapted to receive a sealed or resealable container of material to be dispensed and to validate that it is the correct material, and which includes a mechanical actuation mechanism which, when actuated, causes a measured dose of material to be dispensed from the material container. The mechanical actuation mechanism may be inhibited from operation by a locking mechanism which, when actuated, locks the device against the further dispensing of a dose of material until release in accordance with the desired dispensing programme, e.g. until a certain time period has elapsed, or until the programme permits dispensing to occur on some other basis. The dispensing system may be in two parts, a hand-held hand-actuated dispensing mechanism ( 1 ) and a base or docking station ( 2 ) into which the hand-held unit may be placed in order to release the locking mechanism. The docking or base station ( 2 ) may be triggered to cooperate with a remote overall control system, for example a remote computer, by placing the hand-held dispensing mechanism ( 1 ) in it.

Title: Call set-up in a radio communication system
IPC: H04W84/08
Filed: 2001-07-18
Abstract: In a trunked mode radio communication system, a first communication unit 5 sends a request on a trunked mode signalling channel 9 to a base station 1 for a direct mode traffic channel for communication with a second communication unit 6. The base station 1 acknowledges the request and contacts the second communication unit 6 on a trunked mode signalling channel 10. The first and second communication units then re-tune to a specified direct mode channel to enter into a direct mode call. Preferably the packet data protocol supported by the trunked system, such as SDM (short data message) is used to set up the call. The SDM may also contain additional call related information such as call duration, call clear down rules, a 5-tone signalling sequence etc. Group calls may be set up using the same method.

Title: Temperature detector
Filed: 2007-02-20
Abstract: An electrical circuit apparatus for detecting a rate of change of temperature outside of a predetermined range of rates of change of temperature comprising a bridge comprising first and second resistance branches connected in parallel, each branch comprising a first resistance connected in series with a second resistance. A meter is coupled between a first position between the first and second resistances of the first branch and a second position between the first and second resistances of the second branch. The meter is arranged to provide an output signal indicative of the voltage difference between said positions. A processor measures the output signal and stores a first measured value of the output signal at a first time and a second measured value of the output signal at a second time. The processor then compares the measured values and provides an alarm signal if the difference between said first measured value and said second measured value exceeds a predetermined threshold. The first resistance of the first branch and the second resistance of the second branch each comprise a respective heat sensitive element having a predetermined electrical resistance variation with temperature, the heat sensitive elements extending along the length of an elongate cable such that the voltage difference between said positions is indicative of the resistance of the heat sensitive elements. A method of detecting a rate of change of temperature outside of a predetermined range of rates of change of temperature using the electrical circuit apparatus is also provided. The electrical circuit apparatus is particularly suitable for detecting rapid reductions in temperature indicative of a leak from a container of liquefied gas.

Title: Improvements in or relating to dispensers
IPC: B65D83/14
Filed: 1989-06-23
Abstract: Dispensing arrangements, comprising a gas-pressurized container for a material to be dispensed with a valve actuable to open a discharge passage through the valve and through a valve and a valve actuator to an actuator discharge outlet, are well known in the art. The invention proposes a non-liquefied gas-pressurized dispensing arrangement capable of being used with relatively low initial gas pressures, and of discharging a relatively high percentage of the dispenser contents with an acceptable spray pattern. The proposed dispensing arrangement attains these advantages by arranging the cross-sectional area of the valve port (17c) to be many times greater than the cross-sectional area of the actuator outlet (22a). In one recited embodiment the actuator outlet has a cross-sectional area in the region of 0.049 mm<2> whilst the total cross-sectional area of the valve ports, the valve having four ports, is some sixteen times greater.

Title: Apparatus for monitoring physiological data to detect drug impairment
IPC: A61B3/113
Filed: 1992-05-14
Abstract: A non-invasive apparatus for monitoring physiological responses for detecting the presence of drug impairment. The oculomotor and pupillary system is monitored and evaluated to detect the ingestion of drugs and the impairing effect or influence thereof. The horizontal, vertical, oblique and torsional eye movement, eye lid blink activity as well as the size and reactivity of the pupil are the primary data sources. An enclosed chamber surrounds each of the eyes of the subject, and thereby precludes the admission of ambient light. Within each chamber are disposed point sources of infrared radiation specifically oriented with respect to the subject's eye. An infrared sensitive video camera is positioned to minimize the effect of cosine compression within each chamber relative to the subject and is positioned with respect to the infrared radiation sources in order to provide maximum contrast between the pupil and iris of the eye. To detect movement of the eye in response to visible stimulus, a plurality of low intensity, visible light sources are disposed horizontally and vertically within each chamber. The sequential illumination of the visible light sources simulates eye movement while precluding pupil reaction thereto. The output of the video camera is processed concurrently with data responsive to other physiological responses to determine drug impairment.

The thin silicon layer including the circuit is is then bonded to the selected substrate material (24). Thereafter the silicon substrate is removed and the resulting assembly may be mated to the device (36). A second method employs a two stage transfer technique wherein the processed thin silicon layer is bonded to a first, temporary substrate; the silicon substrate is removed; a second, permanent substrate is attached; and the first substrate is removed. The second substrate is comprised of a material selected for providing the assembly with a coefficient of thermal expansion that is matched to the material of the device. <IMAGE>
