Title: Auto-injector with flanged locking sleeve
Inventor: JENNINGS DOUGLAS IVAN
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 2008-06-19
Abstract: An injection device (110, figure 3) has a locking mechanism that prevents actuation of the device when it is engaged. The mechanism includes a surface 119a for contacting a patient which extends over the distal rim of the device housing, preferably as a flange on the end of a sleeve. Retraction of the sleeve by pushing it against the skin of a patient releases latching arms (161, figure 5) and thereby permits actuation of the device. The latch arms may incorporate a ramped cam surface (167, figure 5) against which the proximal end of the sleeve engages. Alternatively, the locking mechanism may include a pair of parallel arms (219, figures 8a and 8b) instead of a sleeve.

Title: Shredder with intelligent activation switch
Inventor: MATLIN TAIHOON K
IPC: B02C23/00
Filed: 2007-08-30
Abstract: A shredder includes a housing, a shredder mechanism including a motor and cutter elements, a capacitive sensor, and a controller. The capacitive sensor is configured to detect the capacitance of an entity attempting to operate the shredder and thereby detect an appropriate indication of the relative size of the entity because relative size can be an effective indicator of age of the entity. The controller is coupled to the capacitive sensor and is configured to enable/disable operation of the shredder based on the detected capacitance. As a result, the controller and capacitive sensor are configured to cooperate to detect some indication of age, and therefore, maturity, to safely operate the shredder. As a result, a mechanism is provided which results in an increased safety function for the shredder by ensuring that the operator is capable of safely operating the shredder.

Title: System and method to validate and authenticate digital data
Inventor: THOMAS ALUN
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2007-11-06
Abstract: A system and method combining registration with a trusted third party, certificate generation, hashing, encryption, customizable file identification fields, and time-stamping technology with recognized "best practice" procedures to achieve the legal admissibility and evidential weight of any form of digital file or collection of digital files. Generally, the originator of the file (the first party) and the originator's employing organization are registered with a Trusted Third Party. The originator reduces the file, by means of a hashing algorithm, to a fixed bit length binary pattern. This provides a unique digital fingerprint of the file. The resultant hash value, the originator's identity details, the employing organization details associated and securely linked to the digital certificate, the title of the file, customizable file identification fields, and other relevant data are forwarded to a Trusted Third Party where the date and time from a known and trusted time source are added. The customizable file identification fields can provide the originator with a mechanism for configuring the seal to incorporate as much additional information as deemed necessary to prove the authenticity of the digital content and/or provide data for the purposes of adding value in functions such as source identification, sorting, analysis, investigation, and compliance. Such information could include, but would not be limited to, location/GPS coordinates, machine id, biometric information, smart-card data, reason for sealing. The original file does not leave the control of the originating party. When combined, the forwarded details and date and time create a Seal Record. The Seal Record is encrypted and hashed. The Seal Record along with all other relevant information are retained on a central secure server. The recipient of the file (the second party) can confirm the file has been received in an unaltered state with integrity retained and it is the authentic version by validating the file.
Patent GB-2473036-A (GB)
Title: Robust transmission signal comprising symbol sequences whose sub-sequences all meet logic/arithmetic equation
Inventor: TOMLINSON MARTIN
IPC: H03M99/00
Filed: 2009-08-28
Abstract: The invention is concerned with the construction and detection of sequences of symbols containing sub-sequences which satisfy a unique equation. Symbols may be binary or non binary and the unique equation may be based on a logic function or a function using Galois field arithmetic. Multiple transmitters using distinct sequences may communicate or send remote commands to a receiver, which only needs to employ a single detector. Sequences could be used for frame synchronisation or similar. A sliding window is applied to the input bitstream and bits within the window fed into logic embodying the equation. The output of the logic circuit is fed to an up/down counter which accumulates the output. When the desired sequence is input the count will exceed a threshold, thereby indicating sequence reception. Reception can be done asynchronously with oversampling, to avoid the need for clock recovery. Sequence lengths and thresholds can be in/decreased to vary robustness in the presence of noise or similar.

Title: Improvements in means for controlling a motor vehicle by the steering wheel
IPC: B60K23/00
Filed: 1947-04-15
Abstract: 640,010. Controlling motor vehicles. PIOTROWICZ, A. April 15, 1947, No. 10002. Addition to 556,851. [Class 79 (v)] Relates to the arrangement shown in the parent Specification in which the ignition and brakes are controlled by movement of the steering wheel of the vehicle towards the driver, and comprises an improvement in which the application of the brakes and the cut-off of the ignition are delayed when the vehicle is travelling over 30 m.p.h. As shown, pistons K, H are housed in fluid-containing cylinders B, D, which are interconnected by apertures E. The piston K connected to the accelerator pedal (not shown) moves to the right as shown in the Figure on acceleration and tends to cover some of the apertures E, movement of the piston K being limited by an adjustable screw M. The piston H is connected by a rod L to a bar F which is urged to the right by springs (not shown) to control the ignition and brakes by appropriate movement of the steering wheel. The spring-urged movement of the bar F is retarded by the movement of the fluid in the direction of the arrows, the greater the number of the apertures covered by the piston K the greater the retardation.
