Title: Side Panel Occupant Protection
Inventor: MELLOR MICHAEL
IPC: B60R21/231
Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: A vehicle side door 14 comprises an inner panel 19, an outer panel 18, a trim panel 22 and a pusher block arrangement 25, aligned with a pelvic region of an occupant 31. The pusher block is arranged to be displaced towards the occupant if the outer panel is deformed due to a side impact.

Patent GB-2408013-A (GB)
Title: Building components and method of manufacture
Inventor: MATTHEWS VINCENT COLIN
IPC: B29C70/68
Filed: 2003-11-15
Abstract: A method for manufacturing interconnected blocks 18 e.g. paving blocks comprises the steps of applying a mesh 15 across the surface of adjacent open topped moulds (12 figure 1), pouring a settable material (17 figure 7) onto the mesh such that the settable material enters the moulds whilst pressing down the mesh below the open tops of the moulds, removing excess material, allowing the material to set with the mesh embedded therein and then removing the interconnected blocks from the moulds. The mesh may be nylon and retained in position by pegs (14 figure 1) projecting from the mould and which pass through the mesh. Also included are interconnected blocks made using the above method.
Patent GB-2397538-A (GB)
Title: Filtration apparatus with automatic backflush
Inventor: COWAN ANTHONY
IPC: E03F1/00
Filed: 2004-01-14
Abstract: A sewerage filtration apparatus for filtering solids from overflow sewerage in the event of a storm surge or flood is disclosed. The sewerage filtration apparatus has a first chamber 10 and a second overflow chamber 16 which are fluidly linked by a weir 18. The first chamber has a first inlet (not shown) and a first outlet 14. The second chamber has second 28 and third outlets 20. The second chamber also has a filter screen 26 which is located between the weir and the second outlet. The second chamber also has flushing means 22 adapted for backflushing fluid through the filter screen and out through the third outlet when the third outlet is opened. The third outlet may be opened by a valve means 22 which opens when the fluid level in the first chamber drops below a predetermined level. During a storm the first chamber will fill and then overflow into the second chamber. As the second chamber fills the screen filters the solids contained in the fluid. When the storm finishes the fluid level in the first chamber will begin to decrease. Once the fluid level in the first chamber passes a certain point the valve means opens the third outlet and the fluid is backflushed into the first chamber. As this happens any filtered solids which have accumulated at the filter screen are removed from the screen. Advantageously, the filter screen does not need to be cleaned manually after every storm or flood event as it is cleaned automatically by the backflushing of the fluid in the second chamber.

Title: Security container for transporting valuable items
Inventor: SEARLE ANDREW ROBIN
IPC: G07D11/00
Filed: 2004-02-20
Abstract: A security container 20 for securely transporting valuables items such as bank notes or cash cassettes (e.g. from a delivery van to an ATM) comprises a device 2 that activates an alarm spoiling system 32 in dependence on a plurality of time periods and movement detection. The device has two time periods, the first beginning upon initiation of transport. The alarm is activated at the end of the second time period if the device is moving. At the end of the first period the device will enter the second period if it has not received a signal to deactivate, or at the end of the first period the device may indicate that the first time period has elapsed before entering the second timing period. An additional third time period may also be used. The device allows flexibility in delivery time for a secure container.

Title: Electromagnetic surveying for hydrocarbon reservoirs
Inventor: TOMPKINS MICHAEL
IPC: G01V3/38
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: A method of surveying and analysing results from the underwater controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) survey of an area that is thought or known to contain a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir is based on a wavefield extrapolation of narrow-band electromagnetic field data obtained from pairs of source and receiver locations. The data comprise a plurality of discrete frequencies between 0.01 Hz and 60 Hz. The wavefield extrapolation is performed for each of these discrete frequencies to provide distributions of electromagnetic scattering coefficient as a function of position and depth beneath the survey area. These distributions are combined to provide a displayable image of electromagnetic scattering coefficient as a function of position and depth. The method is able to quickly provide a displayable image that is readily interpretable.

Patent GB-2440589-A (GB)
Title: Phase difference calculator
Inventor: BAKPAZ BAHADOR
IPC: H04M1/738
Filed: 2005-06-01
Abstract: A phase reversal detector converts an input tone from time domain into frequency domain, determines a phase difference over a time interval, and detects a phase reversal, based on the phase difference. The converter derives a Fourier transform coefficient having a centre frequency corresponding approximately to a principal frequency being sought in the incoming signal. It uses a very short window of samples, the window length being selected to be shorter than that required for an exact correspondence. By using an approximate correspondence a much shorter window can be used, which enables a significant reduction in computational load and a shorter detection time. The converter output is a complex number. The phase difference is obtained using a dot product of the outputs of the converter obtained at different times. An average of consecutive phase differences can be used to reduce the effect of noise.

Title: Peak detector with leakage compensation
Inventor: DOYLE BRUCE
IPC: G01R19/25
Filed: 2005-06-10
Abstract: A voltage peak detector 300 comprises a first detector 305 which senses the input voltage and a second detector 320 which replicates the leakage current of first detector 305. The replicate leakage current is used to negate the effect of the leakage current on a storage device 310. First and second peak detectors 305,320 may be identical, and connected by a compensation circuit 315 which may comprise a current mirror (fig 4, m8). The leakage current may arise from a gate (fig 4, m7) which controls a signal flow to a storage capacitor (fig 4 C1) while it is in an OFF state. Replica gate (fig 4, m7b1) may control flow of a reference signal to a replica capacitor (fig 4, c1b) giving rise to a replica leakage current in an OFF state. Peak detector 300 may be used to calibrate a clock which is used in transmitting and receiving signals (fig 6) between points of a computing system (fig 7, 700)
