Title: Clamp assembly for removably mounting a working member
Inventor: WILSON MIKE
IPC: B27B19/09
Filed: 2003-10-28
Abstract: A jigsaw drive shaft 11 is connected to a blade 3 by a jigsaw blade clamp 5 embodying the present invention. The jigsaw blade clamp comprises a blade clamp body 12 which is mounted securely to the drive shaft 11 by means of a bracket 13. The blade clamp body 12 has a hollow portion 14 formed to receive an upper portion (Fig 3, 7) of the jigsaw blade. The blade clamp body 12 also includes a hollow tubular extension (Fig 4a, 15). The cam body (Fig 2c, 16) is able to pivot about an axis through a cylindrical bore (Fig 5, 20) such that cam surfaces (Fig 5, 17) move in and out of contact with a rear surface of the hollow portion 14 of the clamp body 12 in order to engage or release blade 3. By virtue of the resilient action of spring 21, the cam body (Fig 2c, 16) is urged into engagement with the clamp body 12. In order to pivot the cam surfaces 17 away from the clamp body 12, the user must press on protrusion 18 in the direction of the blade such that the cam body (Fig 2c, 16) is pivoted out of clamp body 12 against the action of spring 21.

Title: Terahertz radiation sensor and imaging system
Inventor: CRAWLEY DAVID ALEXANDER
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2004-01-19
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for sensing terahertz radiation, in particular over an area, and terahertz radiation imaging systems. A large spot size probe beam 202 is inserted in to a polarising beam splitter 214 and passes to an electro-optic crystal detector 206. A terahertz pulse 204 induces a change in the birefringence of the crystal which induces changes in the polarization of the optical pulse in the locations where the terahertz field is present. The probe beam is reflected from a front surface of the EOS crystal and passes back through the beam splitter 214. The remaining light is detected on a photosensitive imaging device 220 such as a CMOS or CCD chip. Also disclosed are terahertz imaging systems. The systems may comprise a terahertz emitter, for example controllable by an optical pulse, and means to adjust a relative timing of emission by the terahertz emitter and detection by a sensor in order to determine a 2- or 3-dimensional image of an object in reflection and/or transmission.

Title: Command interactive mapping in a computing device
Inventor: KRISTELL MARTIN
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2004-07-02
Abstract: An intermediate software layer, which is preferably provided by a device manufacturer, processes a list of commands and actions provided by a generic application, and assigns them to various input mechanisms, and constructs appropriate menus to display on the screen of the device. Where the application supports multiple windows, views or panes the intermediate layer is able to distinguish which part of the application has the focus and adjust the actions resulting from user inputs accordingly. Hence, the computing device is operated in such a way that a generic application, not specifically designed for the device, is able to take advantage of those unique input methods that the particular device possesses. A preferred implementation is on devices such as mobile telephones, which have no fixed paradigm for providing input and whose keyboards (where they exist) have no fixed number of input buttons.

Title: Initial gain selection for wireless receiver
Inventor: LEE CHRISTINE
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2004-07-06
Abstract: An OFDM wireless transceiver uses a digital automatic gain control (AGC) module (55). The digital AGC module is configured for setting a gain to an initial gain value (104) for mapping a received wireless signal (100) to a first power value (106) for an input circuit having a prescribed input range. The initial gain value is set relative to the prescribed input range and a prescribed signal to noise ratio (200). If the digital AGC module determines (204) that the first power value of the received wireless signal does not exceed the prescribed input range, the digital AGC module calculates an optimum gain (102) for the received wireless signal relative to the initial gain value and the first power value (208); if the first power value exceeds the prescribed input range, the AGC module determines the optimum gain based on setting the gain (206) to a minimum gain value (115).
