Title: Alternative mode monitoring by a transceiver which switches to half rate traffic channels when it monitors other communication modes
Inventor: HAINES RUSSELL JOHN
IPC: H04W88/06
Filed: 2001-10-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a means for alternative mode monitoring within the framework of the existing GSM standard. The invention provides for switching communication from full-rate communication to half-rate communication during an active call. By doing so, a time slot in each frame is shared with another subscriber. In this way alternative frames are allocated to each subscriber. The invention utilises the fact that alternate frames are not used by a subscriber to switch to monitoring other modes during this interval. Consequently the transceiver/terminal switches to half rate traffic channels when it monitors other communication modes.

Title: Weight balancing of a Coriolis flow meter tube
Inventor: WRAY TROY
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: Imbalances in a Coriolis flowtube, which affect measurement quality and reliability, are improved by adding or removing material to adjust the weight distribution of the tube. The state of balance of the tube is determined by placing the tube in a mounting which does not rigidly constrain its ends, vibrating the tube, and obtaining a measure of longitudinal bending from motion (acceleration, velocity, displacement) sensors A,B,C,D. A digital signal processor processes the signals from the sensors and produces a graphical output. Temporary masses (eg putty) are added at appropriate points on the tube. The processes is repeated iteratively until a satisfactory balance is achieved, and then the temporary masses are replaced with permanent masses by soldering or brazing metal to the tube.

Title: A switch mode power supply for a telephone entry system or the like
Inventor: AHLSTROM JOHN F
IPC: H04M11/02
Filed: 2002-10-29
Abstract: A switch mode power supply that may be used for a telephone entry system (TES) or the like with a power factor approaching 1.0. Rectified DC from a flail wave rectifier 240 is passed to a pair of inductors 244, 246 that are alternately sinking and sourcing current thereby drawing a more uniform input current because current constantly flows through the frill wave rectifier to both of the inductors. A pair of FETs 248, 250 , each connected to one of the pair of inductors, are alternately turned on and off such that current from the current sinking inductor is shunted to ground. When one inductor is sinking current (i.e., through an active one the FETs) the other inductor is sourcing current to charge a filter capacitor 264 and thereby provide an essentially contestant unregulated voltage. The unregulated voltage at the capacitor is supplied to voltage regulators 244, 266 which in turn supply regulated voltage. At steady state, all current being supplied by the sourcing inductor is passed directly to and through the voltage regulators. A further aspect relates to an access control system (Figs 2-9). A still further aspect relates to a full wave rectifier 240 followed by a switch mode power supply 248, 250 and a post voltage regulator 266, 268.

Patent GB-2399341-A (GB)
Title: Water treatment method
Inventor: AL-HAWARY MOHSEN
IPC: C02F9/04
Filed: 2003-03-11
Abstract: Water-borne or water related diseases such as malaria and schistosomiasis are combated by treating a water source with an application of cupric ions in combination with a hydrotope, for example copper sulfate and fuming sulfuric acid, followed by an application of a chlorine source such as sodium dichloroisocyanurate. The cupric ions, assisted by the hydrotope, help to clear biologically active material from the water being treated and to render baceria, larvae, schistosomiasis snails etc. more susceptible to treatment with chlorine, which can then act directly on these disease carriers rather than reacting with other biological material.
