Title: Hydroxy-substituted N-alkoxy hindered amines
Inventor: GALBO JAMES PETER
IPC: C07D401/12
Filed: 2000-02-23
Abstract: Hindered amines substituted on the N-atom with an -O-E-OH moiety are particularly effective in stabilizing polyolefin and automotive coating compositions against the deleterious effects of oxidative, thermal and actinic radiation where the presence of the OH group on the compounds adds important properties not attainable by the use of normal -O-E moieties.

Title: Measuring apparatus for the volumetric measuring of injection quantities
Inventor: MANSOAT OLIVER
IPC: F02M65/00
Filed: 2000-04-03
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a measuring chamber 5 into which an injection nozzle 6 injects a quantity of liquid. The injection displaces a piston 4 which is connected to travel sensor 9 by a rod 7. A gas pressure chamber 12 is provided between the travel sensor 9 and the piston 4. The piston 4 is made from plastics, eg based on PTFE, so as to be temperature resistant with good sliding properties and to expand with increasing temperature. The piston skirt 16 has a sealing zone 17 of reduced wall thickness supported radially by an expanding body in the form of a tightly wound helical spring 25 so that the piston 4 seals the measuring chamber 5 from the gas pressure chamber 12 without the need for separate sealing elements. The head 15 of the piston 4 is reinforced for fastening the rod 7 and may have axial holes 21 for radial elasticity. The head 15 may have a metallic supporting ring (23,fig.4). In a modification (figs.6,7), the expanding body is in the form of a cup 33 with a conical inner surface which receives an expanding insert 42 having a mating conical outer surface.

Title: Surgical operating drape
Inventor: MURRAY-BROWN JAMES HAMILTON
IPC: A61B19/08
Filed: 2000-05-20
Abstract: A surgical operating drape 1 extends from the patient 3 out around the bodies of the operator and assistants 2, closely applied to the patient 3 or additional drape over the patient 3, closely applied around the bodies of the operator and assistants 2 or their clothing, and extending down to the theatre floor 8 around its perimeter.

Patent GB-2350737-A (GB)
Title: Polarization scrambling wavelength division multiplexed signals
Inventor: OTSUKA KAZUE
IPC: H04B10/2563
Filed: 1996-11-08
Abstract: A method for scrambling a polarization of light signals, comprising the steps of scrambling the polarization of a light signal with a scrambling frequency, and combining the polarization scrambled light signal with at least one other light signal to form a wavelength division multiplexed light signal. The step of scrambling comprises the steps of scrambling the polarization of a first light signal with a first scrambling frequency, and scrambling the polarization of a second light signal with a second scrambling frequency which is different from the first scrambling frequency. The step of combining comprises combining the first and second polarization scrambled light signals to form the wavelength division multiplexed light signal. Such scrambling suppresses non-linear optical effects during transmission, such as four wave mixing and cross-phase modulation.

Title: Optical waveguide Bragg grating system
Inventor: GROVES-KIRKBY CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: G01L1/24
Filed: 2001-02-13
Abstract: An optical waveguide Bragg grating system has a length of optical waveguide 2 containing a set of Bragg gratings at each of a number of locations 10, 20, 30. Each location is assigned a unique digital code defining the wavelength set of the gratings at that location. The Bragg grating locations may be mechanical-strain sensing locations. For sensing, the waveguide 2 is coupled to a broadband optical source 5 and the combined response from all the grating locations 15 is correlated 16 with each digital code to discriminate responses from the respective grating locations. In an alternative arrangement, a communication system uses a plurality of sources of unique wavelength and reflective taps at each grating location.

Patent GB-2368267-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to wiper arm connectors
Inventor: DANIELS ROGER
IPC: B60S1/40
Filed: 2001-08-09
Abstract: A connector 1 incorporates a body 3 around which the hooked end 4 of a wiper arm 5 can be located. The side wall of the connector 1 incorporates a window 9. From the window there is an inwardly extending rib 10 which is urged inwardly. This rib is flexible so that the hook end 4 of a wiper arm can be pushed past the rib, with the rib entering into the window 9. However, the rib will then spring out again to locate behind the curved end 4 and thus resist removal of the wiper arm 5 from the connector 1. There may be provided a second rib on the opposite side of the body 3. Preferably the connector 1 is formed as a plastics moulding.

Title: No demand production order material on hand checking method
Inventor: CHEN SHIH-CHAN
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-11-12
Abstract: A material on hand checking method without demands and production orders aims at resolving the problem of not able to forecast material shortage without demands and production orders in electronic format by enterprises. Through the calculation method, when there is a request of trial-producing (trial-running) without any demand and production order, the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) server is capable of controlling and monitoring the inventory system, estimating required materials of trial-run prototype/module based on certain steps and procedures. Enterprises can, therefore, decrease overstock in the facilities, reduce the risk of material purchasing and increase profit margins.
Patent GB-2373398-A (GB)
Title: Mobile telephone has transparent speaker over display
Inventor: MORI UKYO
IPC: H04R7/04
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: In an electronic device, a display is accommodated over a space where a speaker is normally disposed. As an example of such electronic device, a portable terminal has a display/speaker section 206, an operating section 204, and a microphone 205 on its front surface. The portable terminal does not have an independent speaker. A display cover (212, fig 6), located in front of the display/speaker section for protecting the display surface, vibrates in response to an audio signal drive to output sound. Consequently, the display can be situated over the space where a speaker is normally disposed. The loudspeaker driver/exciter is electromagnetic.
Patent GB-2388502-A (GB)
Title: Compression of frequency domain audio signals
Inventor: DUNN CHRIS
IPC: G10L19/032
Filed: 2002-05-10
Abstract: Audio signals are transformed into frequency domain representation and then quantized. The coefficients can be thought of as a bar graph of magnitude against frequency (see figure). The compression method involves considering the most significant bit plane and identifying the coefficients whose magnitude equals/exceeds a threshold. The positions of these coefficients are run length encoded and then removed from the coefficient list. The process is then repeated for the next most significant bitplane and so on. Coding of less significant bits of coefficients removed at more significant bit planes can also be performed. Clustering of same frequency coefficients prior to encoding can improve the compression efficiency. The scheme can be applied to full bandwidth and layered bitplane encoding.

Patent GB-2378620-A (GB)
Title: Securing a third person position information search to prevent a loss of privacy by degrading position information sent through a communication system
Inventor: FUJII TOMOHIRO
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2002-07-08
Abstract: A mobile terminal 100 includes a position information detection part 8 that detects current position information, a position information decoder part 9 that calculates the current position information as latitude/longitude information, and a position accuracy degradation-producing part 10 that degrades the apparent accuracy of the latitude/longitude information in plural levels. In operation, when a position search request is made from a third-party terminal, the mobile terminal 100 transmits position information with an accuracy according to the authentication result (such as the result of password verification) of the third-person terminal concerned. Therefore, when e.g. the password has been stolen, position information with an accuracy intentionally degraded by the user of the mobile terminal can be transmitted, thereby preventing a loss of privacy or stalking. In the event of an emergency call, good accuracy can always be used.
