Title: Moulding process and apparatus
Inventor: HARPER ALAN ROGER
IPC: B29C70/48
Filed: 1994-04-22
Abstract: Fibre-reinforced resin is moulded by placing a pack of fibres (44) in a moulding cavity defined between a first mould member (41, 42) and a second mould member (38) in the form of an elastomeric bag which maintains a predetermined shape by virtue of a pressure difference between its inside and outside, resin is injected into the moulding cavity which has a larger volume than the final product to facilitate resin flow, the cavity is reduced to the desired volume by expanding the second mould member and the resin is allowed to polymerise and the product removed. The second mould member may initially be filled with particles and be given its shape by expanding it within a forming mould. It may then be expanded within the moulding cavity by expanding a bladder (34). Alternatively the particles may be expanded by induction or microwave heating. <IMAGE>

Title: Time-of-flight mass spectrometers
Inventor: HOLLE ARMIN
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 1996-04-25
Abstract: In reflector time-of-flight mass spectrometers, in which the ions are generated by laser desorption, particularly matrix-assisted laser desorption, from sample substances on sample supports, an intermediate plane 9 at a location between the ion source 1-5 and the reflector 10 is provided where ions of the same mass are temporally focussed. The reflector then temporally focuses the ions of equal mass and differing velocities which pass this plane at the same time onto the detector 12. For time-of-flight mass spectrometers with an ion selector, the ion selector is a particularly favorable location for this intermediate plane with time focus. For time-of-flight mass spectrometers with a collision cell for the collision fragmentation of the ions, the collision cell is a particularly favorable location.

Title: Voice mail system
Inventor: BLAKE PHILIP
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 1997-05-06
Abstract: A voice mail system has a set of mailboxes. A caller can then leave a message in the appropriate mailbox for the voice mail system subscriber that they were trying to contact. Normally when such a caller first reaches a mailbox, they hear a personalised greeting from the subscriber. It is difficult for the subscriber to keep the greeting brief yet informative. The present invention provides the subscriber with an additional noticeboard on which to record further information. A caller can gain access to this noticeboard by pressing an appropriate DTMF key whilst listening to the greeting. More sophisticated systems can have a hierarchy of noticeboards, with the top one providing menu information, and allowing a caller to select the noticeboard of most relevance to them. The subscriber can password-protect individual noticeboards, so that they can only be accessed by properly authorised callers.
