Title: Powder compactor for electrode block prodn - with compression and vibration regulated in response to extent of compaction
IPC: B30B11/02
Filed: 1972-07-20
Abstract: Electrode blocks, esp. anodes for Al prodn, are produced by compacting granular powder with binder, within a mould, by opposed pistons subjected to vibration, compression and amplitude and frequency of vibration are controlled in response to travel and press detectors associated with each piston. Pref. piston travel is actuated by worm shafts driven by hydraulic motors, the worms being transverse to piston shafts, which are threaded to sleeves rotated by peripheral gears meshing to worms. Vibration is transmitted by electro-hydraulic rams, at ends of piston shafts. Compression overload, as encountered with programmed compactors, is avoided.

Title: Stowable vehicle seat assembly
Inventor: PALMER MARK ANTHONY
IPC: B60N2/30
Filed: 2000-02-14
Abstract: A seat assembly is disclosed, in which as the backrest 1 is folded forwards, a linkage 8 causes a toothed element 9 to react against a carrier 7 on which a seat cushion 5 is adapted fro movement. This causes the cushion 5 to move along the carrier 7 to the rear of the deployed position. The seat assembly is then pivoted about one side of the carrier 7 to a stowage position. The combined folding and sliding movement of the seat assembly in response to a single movement of a user, i.e. folding, is advantageous.

Title: Vascular occluder
Inventor: ROBINSON NICHOLAS
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: Vascular occluder, for blocking severed or opened vascular vessels, comprising:<BR> ```a rod (16) having an expanded, rounded tip (18);<BR> ```a resiliently flexible balloon (12) which encloses said tip. The balloon is attached to an elongate sleeve (10) which substantially encloses at least part of the rod. The rod is free to move axially with respect to the balloon and sleeve, In use, the rod is inserted into or removed from a vascular vessel with the tip pressing against an internal surface of the balloon so as to reduce the balloon's outer diameter. When the occluder is within a vascular vessel, the tip can be moved away from the internal surface so as to allow the balloon to automatically expand in diameter to occlude the vascular vessel.

Patent GB-2380241-A (GB)
Title: A valved connector
Inventor: SMITH ANTHONY GEORGE
IPC: A61G7/057
Filed: 2001-07-12
Abstract: A connector 1 for connecting a air-inflatable mattress (4) comprising alternately inflatable cells (11, 12, fig.1) to a pumped air supply. Air supply lines (13, 14, fig.1) from the pumped supply terminating with male body parts 2 are connected to female body parts 3 thus connecting supply lines (13,14) to fluid lines (15,16, fig.1) via passages (17, 18, fig.1) in female body parts 3. When male connections 2 are disconnected from the connector 1, one way valves 7 seal the the air supply lines (13, 14) and expose the cross connection passage 8 thus interconnecting the female body part passages (17, 18). This connects and equalises the pressure between the inflatable cells (11, 12) in mattress 4. The invention is to provide a self sealing automatic transport mode activated by removing the male connections 2, thus eliminating user error.

The spaces between the ridges 7, 8, 9 and 10 form a groove 11 in the lower face 4 of the body 2 of the sealing element 1. The groove 11 forms a reservoir for a hardenable liquid sealant (65 in Fig.4). Also included is a structure comprising the two structural elements 21, 22, attachment means 23, 24, 43, 44 for attaching the two structural 21, 22 elements to each other, and the sealing element 1.

Title: Tunable Laser with Improved Suppression of Auger Recombination
Inventor: ZAKHLENIUK NICK
IPC: H01S5/0625
Filed: 2001-10-11
Abstract: A tunable laser has a tuning section comprising a homojunction structure that modifies the band structure to approximate that found in a type II superlattice. The tuning section may be formed from a (p-InP)-(i-InGaAsP)-structure 51, 53. Preferably, up to half of the InGaAsP layer 53 is doped leaving the remainder with the original intrinsic state, creating separate potential wells for electrons and holes in different pads of the InGaAsP layer. Alternatively, a tunable laser has a tuning section which includes a heterojunction for example, a (p-InP)-(i-InGaAsP)-structure. The heterojunction comprises a blocking layer for example, InAlAs or InAlAsP between the two materials of the heterojunction on the p-side. This increases the barrier for the electrons only, and not for the holes, and maintains the same injection level for the electron hole current. Preferably, the blocking layer which may be matched to the heterojunction provides an additional barrier for the electrons of about 0.2 eV and substantially no additional barrier for the holes. A tunable laser device comprising the homojunction structure that modifies the band structure to approximate that found in a type II superlattice, may be formed in combination with the heterojunction which comprises the blocking layer.

Title: Encoding objects and background blocks
Inventor: HANNUKSELA MISKA
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2001-11-27
Abstract: A video coding method comprising the steps of dividing a picture into a set of coding blocks, selecting sub-sets of the blocks as defining at least one separate object, defining the sub-set of blocks that excludes the separate objects as a background object and coding the separate objects individually and encoding the background object as one coding object. Preferably the picture is then divided into slices and the slices of the background object are formed in a scan-order by skipping over blocks that belong to a separate coding object. The separate coding objects may be defined in descending order of subjective importance. The background object may be encoded using the separate coding objects or may be encoded separately to avoid error propagation.
Patent GB-2373378-A (GB)
Title: Remote handling plug
Inventor: TOURRAINE JEAN-LOUIS
IPC: H01R13/533
Filed: 2001-12-18
Abstract: Remote handling plug (1) comprising a compensation means (18), this compensation means comprising a rear gripping part (19) connected by a ball-and-socket joint (23) to a front part (21), the front part being mounted on the plug. The compensation means enables a positional tolerance of the plug with respect to a plugboard to which it is to be connected, by providing a rotation with respect to a centre (36) of a head (24) of the ball-and-socket joint. The ball-and-socket joint tolerates an angle (34) between an orientation axis (10) of the plug and an extension axis (35) of the rear part, the rear part being manipulated by a robot device. Furthermore, this compensation means provides for the forcing of the head of the ball-and-socket joint into a cavity (26) in which it is already relatively rotationally mobile. A three-dimensional tolerance with respect to the positioning of the plug is thereby achieved.
