Patent EE-9900172-A (EE)
Inventor: INGMAR WESTER
IPC: A23L33/20
Filed: 1997-11-03
Abstract: Fatty acid esters, such as the unsaturated fatty acid esters of sterols and/or stanols, are used as a replacement for a portion of the undesirable saturated and  trans -unsaturated fats used as structure giving hardstocks in edible foods such as margarines, mayonnaise, cooking oils, cheeses, butter and shortening. Because of the similarity in the crystallinity and physical properties of the esters to those of the undesirable hardstock fats, the substitution or replacement contributes favourably to the flavor, texture and other sensory properties of the foods. The fatty acid esters comprise at least 70 % of the structure giving hardstock.

Title: Variable valve timing
Inventor: MACHAKAIRE TENDAYI SAILAS
IPC: A63C17/14
Filed: 2000-01-19
Abstract: A variable valve timing mechanism for a camshaft comprises a sleeve 1 mounted via straight splines 4 to a camshaft has external helical splines engaging within a camshaft timing belt 5 pulley 3. Axial sleeve movement 12 causes rotation of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft. Axial movement is caused by a vacuum cylinder 7 connected to the engine inlet manifold acting on a lever 9 via a fulcrum 10 and engaging a groove in sleeve hub 11. The cylinder may alternatively be directly connected to the sleeve (Fig. 2b). In an alternative arrangement straight splines are formed on a shaft (16) separate to the camshaft and connected thereto by a pulley (17), belt (5) and further pulley. An externally helically splined axially movable sleeve (15) meshes with a helical crankshaft gear (18).

Title: Compound transmission with automatic range shift if incorrect gear shift is selected
Inventor: COX CHRISTOPHER
IPC: F16H61/70
Filed: 2000-04-03
Abstract: A compound transmission has a main section 12 with various gear ratios and an auxiliary range section 14 having a high range and a low range. Selection of ranges are automatically controlled by a controller (106, fig 2C) that, under certain conditions, if an operator attempts a manual shift from a high gear ratio in a low range towards a low gear ratio will cause an automatic shift to high range, even if range selector 92 is in the low range selector position. Shifting to the high range prevents catastrophic damage to the transmission since the controller overrides the manual shift. The conditions are detected by sensors which monitor, for example, vehicle speed, range selector switch position and previously engaged ratio and target ratio. An alarm is activated while the range selector is in the high range ratio until a range switch is moved to the high range ratio position. Engagement of gear and ratios is accomplished using synchronizing jaw clutches.

Title: Vacuum enhanced evaporation of liquids.
Inventor: COLE MICHAEL
IPC: B01D3/34
Filed: 2000-04-11
Abstract: A liquid sample 3 held in an open container 2 and including a volatile solvent, is evaporated by continuously removing inert gas rich in vapour by means of a suction tube 5 whose open end is held close to the top surface of the liquid.

Title: Mounting disc brake friction elements with outward directed bias
Inventor: BUNKER KENNETH JAMES
IPC: F16D65/00
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: A mounting for a friction element in an automotive disc brake 110 has resilient biasing means 140 to bias a slidable friction element 116 generally outwardly with respect to the axis of rotation of a brake disc 112. A backing plate 122 has concave recesses (174,176 fig 3) receiving convex profiles of a guide means 118. Thus the need for tight tolerances between friction element 116 and guide means 118 is reduced by causing the biasing means to take up the tolerance gap which would otherwise be closed by the turning moment exerted on the friction element by the disc when braking commences. The biasing means may be a torsion spring 142 having a central slot (fig 3) or a coiled wire torsion spring (192, fig 4). The invention may be applied to either spot-type disc brake or brakes having annular disc frictional elements.

Title: Methods and apparatus for mass spectroscopy
Inventor: BATEMAN ROBERT HAROLD
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2001-03-02
Abstract: An improved method of parent scanning is disclosed. In one embodiment a quadrupole mass filter 3 upstream of a collision cell 4 is arranged to operate in a highpass mode. Parent ions transmitted by the mass filter 3 are fragmented in the collision cell 4 and detected by by an orthogonal time of flight analyser 5 which obtains a daughter ion mass spectrum. Ions having a mass to charge ratio below the cutoff of the mass filter 3 are identified as daughter ions, and candidate parent ions may then be discovered and their identity confirmed by obtaining corresponding daughter ion spectra. In a second embodiment, the collision cell 4 alternates between high and low fragmentation and candidate parent ions can additionally be identified on the basis of the loss of a predetermined ion or neutral particle.

Title: Photonic crystal amplifier for optical telecommunications system
Inventor: BEESON ROBERT J
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 2002-03-18
Abstract: The photonic crystal amplifier 10 employs a photonic crystal gain medium 12. Pump light, e.g. from a semiconductor laser 18, is coupled into the amplifier at one end of the gain medium and signal light, e.g. from a fibre 32, is coupled into and out of the amplifier at an opposite end of the gain medium. The pump light input end includes a wavelength reflector 24 that reflects the signal wavelengths of light, but transmits the pump wavelengths of light. The signal light input/output end includes a pump wavelength reflector 38 that reflects the pump wavelengths back into the gain medium, but is transparent to the signal wavelengths.
