Patent GB-201100488-D0 (GB)
Title: Medical needle safety devices
Filed: 2011-01-12
Abstract: A safety device 20 for shielding a medical needle 25 comprises a needle mount 28 supporting a medical needle and a needle shielding sleeve 34 arranged coaxially with the mount for sliding movement from an initial needle shielding position to a non-shielding position whereat at least the tip of the needle is exposed beyond the sleeve. Either the sleeve 34 or the mount 28 has both an abutment surface 31 and a sliding surface 29. A flexible connection mounts a radially deformable resilient finger 37 on the other of the sleeve and mount so that a first finger part 46 is configured for radial alignment with the abutment surface 31 where the finger blocks movement of the sleeve or for radial alignment with the sliding surface. A control member 40 is slidable coaxially with the sleeve and is co-operable with a second finger part 47 to the other side of said flexible connection. The control member 40 has a set position at which the first finger part is in radial alignment with the sliding surface so allowing movement of the sleeve from its initial shielding position towards its non-shielding position. This causes deformation of the finger which urges the sleeve back to a shielding position. The movement of the sleeve also causes the control member to be displaced from the set position. This movement of the control member 40 drives the second finger part outwardly which urges the first finger part inwardly and so into radial alignment with the abutment surface following the return of the sleeve to a shielding position. Subsequent movement of the sleeve is blocked by the finger engaging the abutment surface.

Title: Cellular communications system
Filed: 2011-04-28
Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program for detecting changes in system information of a radio access network are provided. A terminal device of a cellular communication system is arranged to employ a default procedure in which a change in system information transmitted by a cellular radio access network is detected from a change indicator comprised in at least one paging message received from the cellular radio access network on a paging channel. However, in connection with the terminal device entering a cell, the terminal device is arranged to receive system information associated with the entered cell and to verify validity of the received system information by checking a system information tag broadcasted in the cell on a broadcast channel, the system information tag indicating whether or not there has been a change in the system information. Prevents the terminal device from operating with outdated system information when entering a cell near the modification period boundary.

Title: Improvements for iris recognition systems
IPC: G06V10/141
Filed: 2011-10-07
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for capturing an image of an iris free of specularities from a spectacle-wearing user for use in an iris recognition identification system, which includes an illumination source and an image capture device. The method comprises illuminating the user's eye from a first illumination position associated with a first optical path, and capturing a first image of the eye; and determining if the first image comprises a specular image in a first region of interest, the specular image being formed by light reflected from the spectacles. If a specular image is present, the method further comprises illuminating the eye from a second illumination position associated with a second optical path different to the first optical path, such that the specular image is shifted to a second region; and capturing a second image of the eye.

Title: Method and circuit for converting the sampling frequency of a series of samples avoiding conversion into a continuous signal
Inventor: LAGADEC ROGER
IPC: H03H17/06
Filed: 1981-11-16
Granted: 1985-08-22
Abstract: An input sampling sequence with an input sampling rate is translated into an output sampling sequence with a selectable output sampling rate in a sampling filter. A circuit for forming the time difference of the sampling points forms from the given input sampling rate and the desired output sampling rate a signal corresponding to the time difference and this is used in a translation circuit for converting into data for characterizing the filter coefficients. The sampling filter is conditioned by the selected coefficients from the translation circuit. The invention is suitable for the transmission of sampled data, particularly sampled rates between two systems operating at different clock frequencies.
