Patent GB-2466056-A (GB)
Title: Rendering repeating textile patterns
Inventor: FIDDES NICK
IPC: G06T11/20
Filed: 2008-12-11
Abstract: A web browser's object layout language functionality is used to display coloured or shaded horizontal and vertical bands and their areas of intersection, generated from an abbreviated code, in order to visually represent a tartan or similar regular rectilinear textile pattern, on a display or print medium without the need to generate a separate graphic image. The abbreviated codes representative of repeating textile patterns, such as tartans, are translated into object layout language elements to enable the rendering of the pattern for screen display or printing purposes. The translation of abbreviated codes to facilitate display may be undertaken at a local processor without the requirement for processing on a remote server.

Title: Pattress box containing electrical terminals
Inventor: MALONE DAVID
IPC: H02G3/16
Filed: 2009-03-11
Abstract: A light switch comprises a face plate associated with a pattress or pattress box. The pattress or pattress box 10 is provided with a terminal block 9 such that a switched cable 4 to the light, loop in cable 7 and loop out cable 8 can be connected within the pattress or pattress box. This avoids the need for a separate junction box, and makes the wiring more accessible than if it were in the ceiling rose or above the ceiling. The terminal block may be integral with the pattress or may be removable.

Title: Multimedia gateway using protocol conversion
Inventor: BOULTON CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2009-05-18
Abstract: A Multimedia Service Broker (MSB) 1 supplies multimedia content to end users 4 based on user identity and preferences, content format and security policies via a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) interface and an Application Programming Interface (API) 2, which receives messages in different protocols from various network points (eg. VOIP apps) and converts them to a service query request in a common format. A SIP Servlet container enables the generation of SIP protocol requests, while the API can be used by non SIP Servlet compliant entities, and other protocols (eg. Skype) may be supported by a pluggable protocol adapter. The converted service requests are acted on by a Service Bundle Intelligence Container (SIC) 3 whose decisions are based on defined rules and policies.
Patent GB-2470927-A (GB)
Title: Phototherapy apparatus with skin temperature control
Inventor: HERBERT KEVIN JOHN
IPC: A61N5/06
Filed: 2009-06-10
Abstract: A light treatment apparatus includes a source of optical radiation controlled by a pulse modulator to generate a train of discrete spaced optical pulses which generate in the skin of a patient a heat pulse envelope of flattened form whereby the temperature of a selected one or more components of the skin remains below a preset temperature without requiring active cooling. The pulse train may comprise a preddefined sequence of multiple closely spaced pulses to raise the temperature to the target level, followed by more widely spaced pulses to maintain the temperature. Alternatively, a heat probe or remote temperature sensor may measure the skin temperature and trigger further pulses when it falls below a threshold. The device may emit a high intensity beam of visible light broader than the treatment pulse to induce blinking should it be directed towards an eye.

Title: Improvements relating to apparatus for synchronously controlling the movement of motors
IPC: H02P8/00
Filed: 1947-04-17
Abstract: 626,399. Control of D.C. motors. HIGHAM, E. H., and METROPOLITANVICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. April 17, 1947, No. 10247. [Class 38(iii)] [Also in Group XXXVIII] The windings L1, L2, L3 of a step-by-step motor are energized in the sequence L1, L1 and L2, L2, L2 and L3. L3, L3 and L1, L1 by means of a ring-circuit comprising grid-controlled discharge tube V1-V6 arranged to fire in a recurring sequence upon receipt of controlling impulses. With V1 conducting e.g. motor winding L1 is energized in series with the tube, and tube V2 is primed over R11 by the cathode potential of Vl so that when the next line impulse is applied simultaneously to the grids of all tubes only V2 fires. Similarly, subsequent line impulses cause the tubes V3, V4, etc., to fire sequentially. When V2 fires, V1 remains conducting so that motor windings L1 and L2 are energized. When V3 fires, however, both V1 and V2 are extinguished by the potential fed back to their cathodes over condensers C21, C22, so that winding L2 only is energized. Similarly, when V4 fires, V3 remains conducting, both V3 and V4 being extinguished when V5 fires, and similary for V6 and V1. Each motor winding L1, L2. L3 it will be seen, is series connected with a group of two adjacent tubes in the sequence, firing of the second tubes V3, V5, V1 in the respective groups extinguishing the two preceding tubes. This achieves the desired energizing sequence for the motor windings.

Abstract: 733,613. Luminescent materials. SYL. VANIA ELECTRIC PRODUCTS, Inc. May 4, 1951 [May 5, 1950], No. 10569/51. Class 39 (1). Luminescent materials with emission colours ranging from blue through white to red comprise calcium phosphate activated by tin in the stannous state in which there is between 2.00 and 3.00 gram atoms of calcium per gram mol. of phosphorus pentoxide, preferably 2.30 to 2.97. The material is prepared from an admixture of commercial tricalcium phosphate (which is usually deficient in calcium) with either diammonium phosphate or calcium carbonate and stannous or stannic oxide, but calcium carbonate and diammonium phosphate or secondary calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate may be alternatives. The amount of tin may vary to up to 0.04 gram atoms per gram mol. of phosphorus pentoxide and the mixture is fired first in air and refired in an inert gas, e.g. nitrogen containing hydrogen, whereby at least part of the tin is converted to the stannous form. Tables showing the effect of different proportions of calcium, phosphate and tin, of the temperatures of firing and of different compositions of firing atmosphere are given in the Specification. A blue-green and a deep orange material may be blended to give a white colour in a fluorescent lamp. Made into a lacquer with a cellulose compound, the materials are stable and very resistant to oxidation and baking. Specifications 512,154 and 578,272 are referred to.
Patent GB-634398-A (GB)
Title: Process of refining chloral by distillation
IPC: C07C47/16
Filed: 1947-04-22
Abstract: Crude chloral containing hydrochloric acid is fractionally distilled with sufficient water to keep the concentration of hydrochloric acid below about 15 per cent of the weight of water present in the still. The distillate, which contains the chloral in the form of the hydrate, is free from acid and may be dehydrated by azeotropic distillation, in an oxygen-free atmosphere, using benzene as water-entrainer.  A column having an efficiency of about 14 theoretical plates is suitable for each stage of the process.  In an example, 335 gallons of crude (40 per cent) chloral containing about 11 per cent hydrochloric acid was fractionally distilled with a total of 265 gallons of water, the water being added as necessary during the distillation to keep the concentration of hydrochloric acid below 15 per cent by weight of the water in the still.  The distillate contained chloral hydrate, dichloroacetaldehyde hydrate and butylchloral hydrate.  Towards the end of the distillation, the distillate was mainly water and this was used to dilute the next batch.  The mixed hydrates were dehydrated by azeotropic distillation, using 60 gallons of benzene; most of the water from the decanter being discarded to waste.  The last 5 per cent of the water, however, contained some chloral, and was collected for diluting another batch of crude. The dehydrated mixture was distilled without fractionation to separate butylchloral, which was left as residue. The distillate was fractionated using a reflux ratio of 10 : 1; benzene being recovered up to 88 DEG  C., and a small middle fraction being taken off between 88 DEG  and 97 DEG  C., for addition to the final fractionation of a subsequent batch.  Refined chloral boiling at 97 DEG  C. was then collected at a reflux ratio of 3 : 1.  During all the steps after the hydrate distillation, the system was vented to an atmosphere of dry nitrogen.  In another example, the first stage of the process is carried out with continuous addition of water.
