Title: A process for making poly(urethane-urea) addition polyner composite particles which can be obtained as aqueous dispersions
IPC: C09D175/06
Filed: 2000-06-17
Abstract: A process for making poly(urethane-urea)/addition polymer composite particles which avoids the need to use a highly viscous solution of a prepolymer for the poly(urethane-urea). The process comprises dissolving diol and diisocyanate in addition polymerisable monomers and allowing them to co-react but for only long enough to form a precursor for the prepolymer which is of a lower molecular weight than the prepolymer so that the precursor forms a solution of much lower viscosity. This lower viscosity solution is then dispersed in water to give droplets in which the co-reaction continues and completes the formation of the prepolymer whilst water diffuses into the droplets and causes chain extension to create the poly(urethane-urea) particles. The addition polymerisable monomers in the dispersed droplets spontaneously diffuse into the poly(urethane-urea) particles where they are subjected to a conventional free radical addition polymerisation process whereupon composite the poly(urethane-urea)/addition polymer particles are formed. The composite particles can be obtained as stable aqueous dispersions optionally containing less than 3wt% organic solvent and over 40wt% of the composite particles.

Title: A transmission control arrangement
IPC: F16H59/02
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: In an automatic or continuously variable transmission (CVT) control arrangement within a vehicle, a lever 2 is displacable within a slot 1. This lever at specific operational positions e.g. D, R, representing vehicle drive modes may be displaced into a side spur 5. The side spur has a 'T' adjunct giving further operational positions 6, 7 consistent with the configuration of the transmission for the vehicle mode e.g hill ascent 7 or decent 6 options of a CVT in which torque is controlled to give wheel rotation without slippage under specific conditions. A further lever is not required for modifying drive modes thus selection of options is less confusing to an operator of the vehicle.

Title: Photo-elastic sensor
IPC: G01R33/02
Filed: 1984-04-28
Abstract: Certain materials (e.g. polymers, glasses) exhibit the photo-elastic effect, whereby when they are subject to stress become birefringent, which influences a light beam passing through the glass. This beam, e.g. from a laser (1) is collimated and circularly polarised as it approaches the glass (4) and is again polarised as it leaves the glass. This stress is applied, according to this invention, by magnetostrictive strips on the glass which are influenced, by the magnetic field to be measured or the AC bias field. A miniaturised arrangement using this principle is described.

Title: Methods and apparatus for spectral analysis
IPC: G10L11/00
Filed: 1990-02-08
Abstract: In automatic speech recognition it is usual to make a spectral analysis of the incoming speech signal and it can be useful to detect the frequencies and intensities of the formants. However although the formants are mostly quite well defined during vowel sounds there are frequent occasions when this is not so and it is not so during a high proportion of consonant sounds. The present invention determines the frequencies at which the centroids of respective frequency versus power distributions occur in a plurality of frequency bands of a signal representing speech (approximately corresponding to the ranges of individual formants). The centroids have most of the desirable properties of formants but also carry significant information for those sounds for which the conventional definition of formants does not seem appropriate. Preferably the powers in the bands in which the centroids are measured are also determined. The incoming signal is filtered (2) into separate frequency bands and the power in each band is measured (4). The output signal in each band is weighted by 3 dB per octave (5) and then the power in that band is measured (6). The power ratio obtained (7) for a band from the power after 3 dB weighting divided by the power before weighting gives an indication of the position of the centroid of that band in the frequency spectrum. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A data buffering device (33) is positionable between communicating processors (21, 22). At least one of the processors is battery powered and is arranged to be placed in a stand-by condition when not required to process information, thereby reducing overall power consumption. The data buffering device includes data storage locations (34,41) and means (42, 43) for addressing these locations to effect the transfer of data to or from the memory locations. In addition, interrupting means (42, F1, F2, G1) are provided for generating interrupt signals arranged to interrupt at least one of the processors. Thus, upon receiving an interrupt signal, a communicating processor is switched from its stand-by mode to an active mode and data transfer is effected.
