Title: Selection of animation for virtual entity based on behaviour of the entity
Inventor: MARSHALL STEVE
IPC: G06T13/00
Filed: 2007-11-14
Abstract: The invention relates to methods and apparatus for movement animation of a user-controlled entity in a virtual environment. Entity tracking data is stored on a server in order to track movement of the entity in the virtual environment. A user may input a desired action for their entity via a client, which is transmitted from the client to the server. The server uses the received data to select an appropriate animation for the entity. The server then transmits data identifying the selected animation to the client, thus controlling animation of the entity on the client. By using animation data to simulate movement of the entity, along with keeping an accurate representation of the movement of the entity in the virtual environment, the server may control the entity accurately and therefore animation of the entity may be more realistic.

Title: Improvements in or relating to safety devices for locks
IPC: E05B13/00
Filed: 1946-04-01
Abstract: 610,211. Locks. CARLISLE, W. E. April 1, 1946, No. 10048. [Class 44] A safety device rotatably secured over the knob of a lock to prevent it being gripped by a hand inserted, for instance, through an adjacent window, requires the use of two hands to remove it. The device comprises two parts, one rotatably mounted within the other and displaceable means operable by rotating one part relative to the other, to engage behind the head of the knob. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the two parts 1, 6 are of ring form, the inner one having an eccentric hole and a slot 2 through which project studs 7 attached to the outer. A ball plunger 4 is located in a hole 3 in the inner ring. Relative rotation of the rings causes the studs to be covered by the thick side of the inner ring and the plunger 4 to be accommodated in a recess 8 in the outer ring so that the device may be passed over the head of the knob. In another form shown in Fig. 5, three ball plungers 9 are controlled by cam-shaped slots 10 in the outer ring. The rings may be screwed together in this form, and also in the form of Fig. 9, in which each part has a rib 16, 15 which together retain the device on the knob. Rotation to move both ribs to one side allows the device to be tilted and removed. The ribs may be curved outwardly to suit the kind of knob with a curved neck.

Title: Improvements in and relating to frequency multiplication of alternating currents
Inventor: DALY BRIAN BOWMAN
IPC: H01F38/04
Filed: 1953-04-14
Abstract: 778,187. Induction motors. WOODS OF COLCHESTER, Ltd. July 14, 1954 [April 14, 1953], No. 10215/53. Class 35. An induction motor is constructed with the stator combined with the core of a transformer, the windings on the stator also forming the primary windings of the transformer and being fed from a single phase or a three phase supply so that the stator is operated at saturation; the rotor winding forming the secondary of the transformer and the rotor being so associated with the stator that it is only responsive to the third harmonic flux so that the speed of the rotor is the speed corresponding to three times the supply frequency. The combined stator and transformer core 49 is cruciform in shape, one of the limbs being broken to form pole pieces 51, 52 between which is positioned a rotor 53 carrying a squirrel-cage winding which forms the secondary winding of the transformer. The remaining three limbs carry the rotor-connected stator or transformer primary windings 55, 56, 57 which when connected to a supply cause the core 49 to be operated at saturation. The fundamental frequency flux will circulate in the three core limbs carrying the windings 55, 56, 57; the third harmonic fluxes will be additive and flow through the rotor 53. Thus the rotor will be responsive only to the third harmonic flux. Shading rings 54 are provided to make the motor self-starting. A further means of making the motor self-starting is to provide it with interpoles and excite them with the third harmonic voltage only. In another embodiment the stator may be constructed as shown in Fig. 3. In this embodiment the three star connected stator or primary windings are wound on the pole pieces 67 each winding being placed half on one pole (e.g. A1) and half on the other pole (e.g. A2). If a further pair of poles 66 are added with similar winding arrangements but in which the windings are delta connected the motor becomes a two-phase motor. In order that the windings may be delta connected, however, auxiliary windings X, Y, Z must be provided, wound around the three parts of each pole piece and connected in series with the stator windings. Thus the third harmonic currents which would normally circulate in the delta connected windings are suppressed. The windings may, by the suitable use of a condenser, be connected to a singlephase supply. The construction can be further developed into a construction more in keeping with the normal construction of an induction motor by placing the stator windings in slots and suitably arranging the polarity of the poles; and by using a rotor with a short-circuited twopole winding. Although other odd harmonics could be utilized in an induction motor of the kind outlined above there are practical considerations against using harmonics higher than the third. Specification 778,188 is referred to.
