Title: Wave power device using buoys anchored to sea bed
Inventor: SHIM HYUN JIN
IPC: F03B13/16
Filed: 1996-09-19
Abstract: Buoys 500 are rotatably mounted on lattice frame 100, and tied by cables 220 to anchors 210. Their rising and falling movements are converted to rotating forces by unit 600, compressing fluid in unit 700 and pumping it through pipe 910 to a turbine. The turbine drives a generator to produce electricity; both units are mounted on auxiliary frame 160 in power generation sector S1. A pressure relief valve may be fitted (fig. 17), to avoid damage through overloading. A surge tank may be used to avoid pressure pulses. The spiral motion of the fluid in this tank due to the rotation of the earth may be corrected by the direction of introduction of this fluid. Tension control means (figs. 7C, 7D) may be applied to the anchor cables. Compressed air may be used to assist frame buoyancy.

Title: Adhesively secured bolt and method of manufacture
Inventor: WARWICK-ADKINS GRAHAM LAWRENCE
IPC: E21D20/02
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: A bolt 10 comprises a first portion 12 with a helical groove 20 and a pointed end 16, and a second screw threaded portion 14. The first portion 12 is insertable into a hole such that the point 16 punctures a resin capsule in the bottom of the hole, the resin then forms a bond with the hole wall and the helical groove 20 in the bolt. When the resin is cured, a plate and nut are secured on the screw threaded portion and tightened against the wall. In manufacture, a bolt blank (42, Fig 3) is guided (44) through a grinding wheel (48) and is advanced and rotated by rollers (34,36). A control system lifts the grinding wheel (48) away from the bolt blank (42) in areas where the second screw threaded portion 14 is to be formed by a further grinding system.

Title: Clothing mounted temperature sensor
Inventor: STRICKLAND PAUL
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: An inner sole (6) for a shoe carries a plurality of thermistors (9a-9f) which are arranged spaced apart along the inner sole so as to be thermally isolated from the inner sole and so as to stand slightly proud of the upper surface of the inner sole. These thermistors enable the temperature distribution across the sole of a foot within a shoe to be determined while, for example, the wearer is running or walking. Also a shoe has means responsive to pressure applied by the wearer's foot during use to cause heat to be transferred from the interior of the shoe to the outside. The heat conducting means may, for example, comprise a collapsible bladder which collapses under the pressure of the wearer's foot so as to bulge outwardly of the shoe and to cause heat conducting fluid to come into contact with the atmosphere thereby enabling heat transfer to atmosphere.

Title: Protection of an Outdoor Base Station
Inventor: SHIM DA-HYUN
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 1997-11-26
Abstract: An outdoor base station is protected against environmental conditions. An environment monitor generates a power interrupt signal when a fatal environment of the base station is detected and a power supply device interrupts the supply of power to the outdoor base station in response to the power interrupt signal. Similarly, the environment monitor generates a power resume signal when a fatal environment is no longer detected and the power supply device resumes the supply of power in response to the power resume signal.

Title: Redundancy circuitry for logic circuits
Inventor: MCCLINTOCK CAMERON R
IPC: G11C29/00
Filed: 1998-01-20
Abstract: Redundant circuitry for a logic circuit such as a programmable logic device allows the logic circuit to be repaired by replacing a defective logic area on the circuit with a redundant logic area 22a. Rows and columns of logic areas may be logically remapped by row and column swapping. The logic circuit contains dynamic control circuitry for directing programming data to various logic areas on the circuit in an order defined by redundancy configuration data. Redundancy may be implemented using either fully or partially redundant logic areas. Logic areas may be swapped to remap a partially redundant logic area onto a logic area containing a defect. The defect may then be repaired using row or column swapping or shifting. A logic circuit containing folded rows of logic areas may be repaired by replacing a defective half-row with a redundant half-row.

Title: A high speed and low power signal line driver and semiconductor memory device using the same
Inventor: CHO IL-JAE
IPC: G11C11/417
Filed: 1998-03-06
Abstract: A signal line driver of a memory includes one or more first pull-up units 44, one or more second pull-up units 45, and one or more pull-down units 46. The first pull-up unit 44 is connected between an external power supply voltage and an output terminal (IO), and responds to an input signal (DIO) which swings between an internal power supply voltage (IVC) lower than the external power supply voltage (EVC) and a ground voltage (Vss), to pull up the voltage of the output terminal (IO) to a voltage equal to the internal power supply voltage minus a predetermined voltage. The second pull-up unit 45 is connected between the internal power supply voltage and the output terminal, and responds to an inversion of the input signal, to increase the output terminal to the internal power supply voltage. The pull-down unit 46 is connected between the output terminal and the ground voltage, and responds to the inversion of the input signal to pull down the voltage of the output terminal to the ground voltage. Further aspects relate to first to third inverters 41-43, and to first to fourth inverters (51-54, Fig 5) supplying input signals to the pull-up and pull down units. The driver may be input/output write (12, 13, Fig 1) or read (22, Fig 2) drivers.

Title: Method and apparatus to isolate a formation zone
Inventor: WILLAUER DARRIN L
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 1997-10-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed which allow isolation of a plurality of zones for treatment, particularly sand fracturing. The lowermost barrier can be pumped through tubing (12) and anchored in cased or open holes. In the preferred embodiment, the pumped plug (20) has a visco-elastic member (74) which contains a particulate aggregate mixture (87), such as described in U.S. Patent 5,417,285. The visco-elastic material is subjected to a force which changes its shape so that the material obstructs the wellbore. The shape change also accomplishes dehydration of the material within the visco-elastic enclosure by virtue of fluid displacement, resulting from a volume reduction, hardening it so that a plug using the visco-elastic material is formed. Thereafter, a packer (14) on the tubing string (12) is set to isolate the zone for sand fracturing. The process can be repeated without tripping out of the hole as additional plugs are pumped through tubing and the process is repeated. At the conclusion of the fracturing, the various plugs, which are of simple and economical construction, can be readily milled out.
