Patent GB-2413110-A (GB)
Title: A curved saw
Inventor: KANZAWA KUNIYUKI
IPC: B26B9/02
Filed: 2004-06-08
Abstract: A saw blade 1 is curved from the back end to the front end. A multitude of saw teeth 2 are formed on the concave edge of the curved saw blade 1 in such a way that angles   a  of tooth flanks 3 near a handle end of the saw blade 1 with respect to the edge line 5, which connects the tooth tips 4 of the saw teeth, are relatively larger than angles   a  of tooth flanks 3 near the other end of the saw blade 1 with respect to the edge line 5. This makes it possible to provide a saw that effectively uses all saw teeth over the entire length of the saw blade, thereby proceeding to cut the material smoothly with a constant force. The saw blade may be used for pruning fruit trees.

Title: Performing a reciprocal operation on an input value to produce a result value
Inventor: LUTZ DAVID RAYMOND
IPC: G06F1/02
Filed: 2005-07-25
Abstract: A data processing apparatus and method are provided for performing a reciprocal operation on an input value d to produce a result value X. The reciprocal operation involves iterative execution of a refinement step to converge on the result value, the refinement step performing the computation: Xi = Xi-1 * M, where Xi is an estimate of the result value for the i-th iteration of the refinement step, and M is a value determined by a portion of the refinement step. The data processing apparatus comprises a register data store having a plurality of registers operable to store data, and processing logic operable to execute instructions to perform data processing operations on data held in the register data store. The processing logic is responsive to a single refinement instruction to implement the portion of the refinement step by performing at least a multiply-accumulate operation in which the input value, a value derived from the previous estimate of the result value, and a constant are used as inputs of the multiply-accumulate operation. The constant is determined from the single refinement instruction without reference to the register data store. Such an approach improves code density, and improves efficiency of use of registers of the register data store.

Patent GB-2422334-A (GB)
Title: Concrete crushing machine
Inventor: CLAY MARCUS
IPC: B02C23/04
Filed: 2006-01-23
Abstract: It is known to crush concrete and other materials produced as a result of demolition of buildings etc. This crush material creates useable hardcore for subsequent building processes. More recent use of on site crushing machines has resulted in the necessity to achieve appropriately safe crushing without causing difficulty with respect to loading the crushing machine with recycled or concrete waste. By providing a lid (9) across the loading shoot to a hopper (2), it is possible to ensure that safe operation of the crushing mechanism is achieved by restricting access to the hopper (2), at least during the crushing process such that ricochet fragments from the crushing process are prevented from exiting the crushing machine.

Title: Echo image display apparatus
Inventor: NAGAI SANAE
IPC: G01S7/56
Filed: 2007-11-21
Abstract: A scanning sonar measures echoes received from individual geographical points within a sounding area through lapse of time for each of plural layers defined by dividing a specific depth range and calculates mean values of echo levels detected from the individual points for each layer. The scanning sonar then determines the maximum values of the mean values of the echo levels at the individual points calculated for each of the layers and display means then displays image elements at the individual points based upon the determined maximum values. If three layers (1, 2, 3 fig. 4) are defined and a fish school (G1 fig. 4) located at a particular point (Z1 fig. 4) extends vertically from layer 1 to layer 3, the fish school (G1 fig. 4) existing at all depths in layer 2 and producing a maximum mean value of echo levels in layer 2, for example, the scanning sonar presents an echo image element at the point Z1 based on the mean value of the echo levels in layer 2.
