Title: Automatically configurable channel selection memory for satellite receiver
Inventor: SAWARD IAN
IPC: H03J1/00
Filed: 1992-02-21
Abstract: A television receiver/decoder includes means (8) to detect what channels are capable of being received by that receiver/decoder. A first memory (12) stores data relating to all possible channels. A second memory (14) is used to store data relating to the channels that receiver/decoder is arranged to receive. The second memory is selectively loaded with data from the first memory in dependence on the channels the detecting means determines the receiver/decoder can receive. One of a plurality of Low Noise Blocks (LNB's) in an antenna can be selected by a control signal which causes power to be selectively applied to an LNB (see figure 3 and GB application 9418117.9). One of a plurality of oscillators (60) in an LNB of an antenna can be selected providing a frequency generator (54) coupled to a lead for the antenna signal and operable to produce at least one frequency signal in response to a control signal. The antenna includes a switch (58) which switches between oscillators in dependence on the received frequency signal (see figure 4 and GB 2253105). <IMAGE>

Title: Bromide removal
Inventor: BONNICK DAVID MACDONALD
IPC: C01B7/09
Filed: 1994-10-28
Abstract: A chlorination system in which brine is converted to chlorine or sodium hypochlorite by an electrolyser. Brine fed to the electrolyser is passed through a filter which is capable of adsorbing bromine or hypobromous acid. Some of the chlorine or sodium hypochlorite produced in the electrolyser is fed back to a point in the brine feed upstream of the filter such that any bromide in the brine is oxidised to bromine or hypobromous acid and therefore adsorbed by the filter.

Title: Tyre for radio controlled model cars
Inventor: WEATHERLEY RICHARD MARTIN
IPC: B60C7/10
Filed: 1995-07-27
Abstract: A tyre for a radio controlled model car where the tread surface is braced by strengthening ribs 4 which run across the width of the tyre and brace the tyre's profile. The ribs run in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wheels run and help to maintain the tyre's shape even when under load on the track from cornering, braking and centrifugal forces and the like. The ribs enable the use of a tread bearing surface 3 which is thinner than usually possible and as a result any tyre using this system would have a larger and more constant tyre to track surface contact area than is usually achieved. This results in superior grip and greatly reduced wear rates. The space (7, Fig 2) within the tyre may be filled with a cellular foam insert.

Patent GB-2303886-A (GB)
Title: Electromagnetic reciprocating compressor
Inventor: MCGRATH MICHAEL ALAN
IPC: F04B35/04
Filed: 1994-06-02
Abstract: An electromagnetic linear compressor has a linearly reciprocating piston (10) provided with an aperture through which gas to be compressed flows during the suction stroke, the aperture having a surface acted on by the flowing gas to cause a unidirectional rotation of the piston. The resulting gradual rotation of the piston minimizes uneven wear. An armature (24) carried by the piston is driven linearly by the energisation of coils (22) and the restoring force of a spring system. To further reduce uneven wear, the spring system comprises two helical coil springs (20a, 20b) separated by a rotational bearing (40) which transmits thrust between the two springs while permitting relative rotation of the two springs about their axis. Bands (15,13a) of low friction plastics material are provided on the sliding surfaces of the piston and its guide piston (13).

Title: Method and apparatus for the provision and reception of symbols
Inventor: WHITE GREGORY C
IPC: H04L27/34
Filed: 1996-10-18
Abstract: A symbol constellation is logically divided into a plurality of multi-symbol subsets (201-204). Additionally, a series of primary bits and a series of secondary bits are provided. At least a first selected primary bit is error control encoded (303) to provide an M bit pre-symbol (603) that uniquely corresponds to a multi-symbol subset (602). The M bit pre-symbol is modulated (304) by at least a first selected secondary bit to provide an N bit symbol (605) that uniquely corresponds to a symbol included in the multi-symbol subset. Recovered primary bits are determined by comparing a received symbol (609) with only one symbol in each of the multi-symbol subsets. Additionally, recovered secondary bits are determined by comparing the received symbol with predetermined decision boundaries (622). In this manner, varying degrees of error protection are provided allowing for a wider variety of coding rates.

Inventor: PETERKEN WILLIAM H
IPC: F41A17/44
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: A cylindrical insert (42) having a recess (50) in one end and a notch (46) disposed between either end of the cylindrical insert (42). The cylindrical insert is placed within a bolt carrier (122) of a rifle or firearm.. The recess (50) is positioned to receiving the firing pin (132). preventing the cylindrical insert (42) from contacting it. The notch (46) is sized and positioned to receive the hammer (130), preventing it from impacting the firing pin (132) when the trigger (126) is pulled releasing the hammer (130). The insert (46), being placed within the bolt carrier (122), is not readily visible and effectively disables the rifle from being fired. This prevents the possibility of any accidental discharge or unauthorized use. A locking device may be attached to the insert (42) preventing its unauthorized removal. The present invention is applicable to many different rifles or firearms and may also be used to safely dry-fire a firearm without damaging the firing pin, and requiring only limited movement of the bolt carrier to reset the hammer for dry-firing.

Title: A system for authentication, data security, digital rights management and encryption for use with electronic commerce and electronic business systems
Inventor: BAKER MARK
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 1999-10-11
Abstract: eLOK1 and eLOK2 are systems which use client-server implementation of public key encryption and purely client-side implementation of private key encryption respectively to control access to data files via network based messaging or data transfer protocols. Data security is ensured as only validated local users may access data using the automatically stored key. Confirmation is sent using a technology such as eLOG. In the full eLOK system the local user's key is in turn encrypted with a public or electronically transmitted private key. Keys may vary dynamically by date, location, region, client or security update. (Manual or automatic). Digital watermarking for digital rights management may be applied client-side using local (client) machine specific information. Digital signatures may be used as part of a private key. The system may be used in conjunction with compression.

Title: A computer system with two debug watch modes
Inventor: COFLER ANDREW
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 1999-12-23
Abstract: A computer system is provided with precise and non-precise watch modes. The computer system is a pipelined system in which the fate of an instruction is determined at the decode stage. Once instructions have been decoded, it is not possible for them to be "killed" later in the pipeline. According to the precise watch mode, instructions are held at the decode stage until the guard value has been resolved to determine whether or not that instruction is committed. Actions of the decode unit are determined in dependence on whether or not the instruction is committed when the guard has been resolved. According to a non-precise watch mode, instructions continue to be decoded and executed normally until a breakpoint instruction has had its guard resolved. At that point, an on-chip emulator can take over operations of the processor in a divert mode. The computer system can take into account different intrusion levels while implementing the watch modes.
