Patent GB-0111604-D0 (GB)
Title: Power tool
IPC: E02D7/06
Filed: 2001-05-12
Abstract: A power tool ( 1 ) has a percussive driving implement for driving an impact tool ( 8 ). The driving implement, which may be hydraulic or pneumatic, retracts the impact tool ( 8 ) on its return stroke, against the force developed by heavy-duty elastic ropes ( 24 ). During the impact stroke the impact tool ( 8 ) is urged downwardly by the elastic ropes and, if the tool is upright, by gravity. At the start of the impact stroke the ram ( 10 ) is uncoupled by a ball clutch. At the beginning of the return stroke the ball clutch acts to couple the ram once again to the weight ( 20 ) and impact tool ( 8 ), in order to lift these to the retracted position. The uncoupling of the ram for the impact stroke reduces the loss arising from the resistance of the ram.

Title: Optical amplifier control in WDM communications systems
IPC: H04B10/294
Filed: 2001-10-09
Abstract: A system for controlling gain of an optical amplifier that is disposed in a WDM optical communication network for amplifying an input WDM signal to produce a corresponding amplified output WDM signal is operative for measuring average optical powers of the input WDM signal over first and second wavebands, each covering a wavelength range that includes at least one wavelength channel of the WDM network and is operative for measuring the average optical powers of the amplified output WDM signal over the first and second wavebands. The system further determines gain values over the first and second wavebands from the average input and output powers and adjusts a variable of the optical amplifier to ensure that the difference between the gain values is maintained to within a predetermined value thereby ensuring a substantially flat gain slope profile.

Title: Asynchronous access to synchronous voice services
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-10-27
Abstract: The claims have been amended to clarify their scope having regard to the terms used and the operation of the described embodiments. More particularly, in claim 1: The system by which user input is provided was originally referred to as an "asynchronous" system which is potentially misleading as the description makes it clear that the input can be collected by an audio server 33 (which would interact in a synchronous manner with respect to the user). Claim 1 is now clarified to indicate that it is the general interaction between the user and the synchronous transaction system that is asynchronous in nature rather than the operation of the user-input system. (though the latter could be asynchronous in operation). The qualification of the transaction system as a "voice" transaction system is potentially misleading because it is clear from the description that the interaction with the synchronous transaction system may occur at, for example, the VoiceXML script level without any voice signals being produced. Accordingly the qualification "voice" has been replaced by "human dialogue based"; whilst the term "human" is not explicitly present in the specification, it is implicit that the VoiceXML scripts mentioned in the description are or human dialogue. The asynchronous nature of the user interaction with the transaction system is now expressed in terms of the proxy seeking to respond to a request using input already provided by the user-that is, user input provided unprompted by the request. Of course, it may not be possible to respond to the transaction system on this basis and, in the described embodiment, the proxy may then fetch the required information from the user (or connect the user to the transaction system or simply notify the user without seeking a response). The independent method claim 16 has been amended along lines similar to claim 1 as has independent claim 31 (this latter claim is now directed to "an arrangement" since directing the claim to "a system" was confusing in view of two constituent elements also being systems). The amendments effected to the dependent claims are primarily to make these claims consistent with the amended independent claims though other clarifying amendments have also been made.

Patent GB-8629971-D0 (GB)
Title: Signal locking
IPC: H04N7/08
Filed: 1986-12-16
Abstract: In a television broadcast and reception system for the transmission of PAL signals accompanied by an additional stereo signal for enhanced audio reception the television received has equipment to indicate, whether or not the input signal is valid by utilizing two decoders which decode the presence of a FAW (Frame Alignment Word) together with a 1, and a FAW together with an O. The output from these detectors is applied to threshold circuits which decide the "good to bad" rate of "FAW and C" bit detections. A mark/space detector is formed of two counters, the final counter of which counts up if the input to mark space is above a critical value. For a correct FAW lock, both counters count up and the circuit gives a valid output for a correct input sequence. This equipment, together with a C0 detector and timer circuit forms a locking arrangement immune to substantially all false lock sequences which might occur.

Title: Hood top
IPC: B62D25/10
Filed: 1987-04-14
Abstract: A hood top (1) for a motor vehicle comprises an outer panel (2), an inner panel (13) secured to the outer panel (2), and a striker (20) for a latch mechanism (30) secured to the inner panel (13) towards the front of the hood top by welded joints (14,25). The striker (20) and the part of the inner panel (13) to which it is secured are so disposed relative to the outer panel (2) that when the hood top (1) is closed a substantial proportion of the reaction to the closing forces on the hood top (1) is transmitted to the welded joints (14,15) as shear forces. Since welded joints are capable of withstanding greater shear forces than compressive or tensile forces, the required durability of the connection between the striker (20) and the inner panel (13) can be achieved without the necessity for additional reinforcements or complex shaping of the inner panel (13).

Title: Cryopreservation of diverse plant cells
IPC: A01N1/02
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for cryopreserving plant cells and to methods for recovering viable plant cells from long or short term cryopreservation. Plant cells to be cryopreserved can be grown in culture and pretreated with a solution containing an cryoprotective agent and, optionally, a stabilizer. Stabilizers are preferably membrane stabilizers such as ethylene inhibitors, oxygen radical scavengers and divalent cations. Cells can also be stabilized by subjecting the culture to a heat shock. Pretreated cells are acclimated to a reduced temperature and loaded with a cryoprotective agent such as DMSO, propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol. Loaded cells are incubated with a vitrification solution which, for example, comprises a solution with a high concentration of the cryoprotective agent. Vitrified cells retain less than about 20% water content and can be frozen at cryopreservation temperatures for long periods of time without significantly altering the genotypic or phenotypic character of the cells. Plant cells may also be cryopreserved by lyophilizing cells prior to exposure to a vitrification solution. The combination of lyophilization and vitrification removes about 80% to about 95% of the plant cell's water. Cells can be successfully cryopreserved for long periods of time and viably recovered. The invention also relates to methods for the recovery of viable plant cells from cryopreservation. Cells are thawed to about room temperature and incubated in medium containing a cryoprotective agent and a stabilizer. The cryoprotective agent is removed and the cells successfully incubated and recovered in liquid or semi-solid growth medium. The invention also relates to the cryopreserved cells and to viable plant cells which have been recovered from long or short term cryopreservation.
