Patent GB-2290008-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for the monitoring and demarcation of synchronous optical network
Inventor: KIGHT WILLIAM D
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 1994-06-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing an intelligent demarcation between facility and terminal segments of asynchronous optical network. Network management information contained with the overhead structure of the synchronous optical network signal is extracted and manipulated in accordance with a predetermined user specification; overhead data may be translated, terminated, or passed unaltered as required. Overhead processing towards the facility and terminal segments need not be symmetrical. Payload information is passed unaltered although future provisions for encrypting payload data exist. Full performance monitoring is supported along with a built-in-test and diagnostic capability. The device may be both locally and remotely controlled and monitored. Remote control is implemented via the overhead information contained within the synchronous optical network signal. <IMAGE>

Title: Split roller bearing ring
Inventor: SMITH PATRICK
IPC: F16C33/64
Filed: 1996-01-03
Abstract: An outer bearing ring (10) for a split roller bearing is made from tubular stock material which is initially machined to create V-shaped openings (16) at diametrically opposed locations (19) spaced from the axial side faces (15) of the material. The V-shaped openings are then machined with an abrasive wheel to extend with cut-away portions (18) into the side faces and hence sever the material into two halves. The initial machining may be by electro-discharge.

Patent GB-2318872-A (GB)
Title: Blast wave detection
Inventor: SHARPE KEVIN JOHN
IPC: G01H5/00
Filed: 1996-10-30
Abstract: A method for determining the direction of propagation of a blast wave involving arranging at least four sensors (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 , S 4 ) in a non co-planar array in the expected path of the blast wave, the sensors (S 1 , S 2 , S 3 , S 4 ) each being capable of detecting the passage of the blast wave and being disposed so that the positions of the sensors relative to one another are known. Upon passage of the blast wave the time delay of passage of the blast wave past different sensors is measured and from these time differences and the positions of the sensors relative to one another the direction of propagation of the blast wave is determined relative to the sensor array. The velocity of the blast wave may also be determined and the magnitude of the blast wave calculated.

Title: Hypodermic syringe with resealable bung
Inventor: MOYLAN PATRICK DONOUGH
IPC: A61J1/00
Filed: 1997-03-03
Abstract: The syringe comprises a barrel A with a nozzle, a plunger F and a hollow needle C which, prior to use, lies wholly within the chamber K of the barrel. The nozzle is hermetically sealed by a fixed, resealable bung B of rubber or the like which is penetrable by the needle, the tip of which (before use) lies just behind the bung. The hilt or base end E of the needle is immovably attached to the plunger and contains a hole G through which air or fluid can pass between the needle interior and the barrel chamber. The barrel chamber may serve as an ampoule or vial in which case a protuberance P is provided on the inside of the barrel to prevent the plunger falling out. If the plunger is forced beyond this protuberance, a further protuberance R retains it. In a further embodiment, both the needle and nozzle are off-centre so that the needle may be immobilised beneath the shoulder of the barrel by rotation of the plunger (Fig.3).

Patent GB-2324732-A (GB)
Title: Absorbent wound dressing
Inventor: ADDISON DEBORAH
IPC: A61L15/60
Filed: 1997-05-02
Abstract: The wound dressing (1) comprises a wound contacting sheet (4) laminated to one side of an absorbent layer (3) of water-swellable absorbent material such as a polyurethane. A liquid water-impermeable backing layer (2) is laminated to the other side of the absorbent layer (3). The wound contacting sheet is provided with one or more slits (5) therein. Expansion of the absorbent layer (3) due to absorption of wound exudate causes the slits (5) in the wound contacting sheet (4) to expand, thereby allowing passage of high flow rates of wound exudate. If the flow of exudate falls, then the slits close, thereby avoiding excessive drying of the wound surface.

Title: Message notification in a multimedia messaging system
Inventor: SHAFFER SHMUEL
IPC: H04M3/53
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: If a message is waiting in a user mailbox, notification 70 of the type of waiting message is provided to the user, and the notification is repeated 78,80 after a predetermined period of time if the user fails to respond to the notification. If the user telephone is busy when an attempt is made to notify the user, a camp-on feature 58,60 may be used to call the user when no longer busy, or an automated redial feature (100, Fig. 3) may be used to call the user again after a certain time. Different ring patterns, or a different number of rings, may be used for each type of message. For example, a W ring pattern may identify regular messages, and an X ring pattern may identify urgent messages, an urgent message being tagged with priority. If a user skips messages when accessing the messages in the mailbox, notification of skipped messages may be effected by setting a timer (110, Fig.4) so that the user is called when the timer expires, a different ring pattern (a Y pattern) being used to notify the user that a skipped message is in the mailbox. Thus, new and skipped messages can have different ring patterns. The system may be applied to voice mail, facsimile messages, e-mail messages, or video messages.

Title: Inflatable element for a vehicle interior
Inventor: SATZGER GUIDO
IPC: B60R21/26
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: An inflatable element for a vehicle interior adapted to be inflated from gas from a gas generator (2) includes a gas flow duct (6) leading from the gas generator to a plurality of cells (8-12) which are to be inflated. An elongate element (20) having a plurality of substantially helical turns is located within the gas flow duct, the axis of the elongate element being substantially the same as that of the duct. The helical element is intended to aid the production of a turbulent gas flow, thus diffusing the gas through the helical turns into the cells in a less aggressive manner than a conventional gas duct. The elongate element may initially extend only partially along the gas duct, whereby on inflation it is forced along the remaining length. Additionally the helical turns may be spaced from each other by varying degrees, and may be of different diameters (see figures 6 and 7).
