Title: Copper preservative treatment using azoles
Inventor: CAVALLOTTI PIETRO LUIGI
IPC: C23F11/08
Filed: 1997-10-28
Abstract: A method of pretreating a copper surface for protecting the surface from oxidation comprises immersing the surface in a solution containing an azole, such as benzotriAzole, with the addition of a zinc salt. The method is particularly useful in the manufacturing of electronic Printed Circuit Boards for protecting the copper surfaces during the solder processes when the PCB undergoes high temperature. The addition of the zinc salts also gives the additional advantage of increasing the solderabilty properties of the copper surface (i.e. wettability and adhesion). The zinc salt may be zinc acetate.

Title: Digital cordless telephone
Inventor: HOKAO TOMOAKI
IPC: H04M1/00
Filed: 1998-02-10
Abstract: A dual mode cordless telephone handset detects signals from a master unit connected to a private line and a base station connected to a public line. If signals from both the master unit and the base station can be received, the presence of the handset on a battery charger is detected. If this condition is met, the private line is assigned priority over the base station connected to the public line. Under this condition signals received from the priority line are monitored more frequently than those from the other line. If it is detected that only signals from one of the lines can be received, this line is monitored continuously. The arrangement seeks to minimise current consumption in the incoming call wait mode.

Patent GB-2337768-A (GB)
Title: Fire retardant porous products
Inventor: SALYER IVAL O
IPC: E04B1/94
Filed: 1998-05-28
Abstract: A method for preparing fire retarding porous products used for thermal energy storage includes treating the surface of the phase change material-containing porous products with a urea fire-retarding agent. Upon exposure to a flame, the urea forms an adduct with the phase change material which will not sustain combustion (is self-extinguishing) in air. No halogens or metal oxides are contained in the fire retardant, so no potentially noxious smoke or fumes are emitted if the product is continuously exposed to a flame.
Patent GB-2329766-A (GB)
Title: Lockable connector assembly
Inventor: BROWN ROBERT JOHN
IPC: H01R13/622
Filed: 1998-06-19
Abstract: A connector has a coupling nut 4' rotatable on a body 1' and lockable by means of a locking ring 10' mounted on the nut. When slid axially to its locking position, the locking ring 10' engages splines 12' and 3' on both the nut 4' and the body 1' to prevent relative rotation. A circular spring 20' carried in a groove 21' on the nut engages behind a vertical wall 43 on the inner surface of the locking ring 10' to prevent the locking ring being unlocked. The locking ring 10' is unlocked by pushing a release ring 30 axially into the locking ring so that a ramp surface 33 on the release ring pushes the spring 20' in and allows the locking ring to be slid back.

Title: Establishing and differentiating the Nature of sub-surface soils and strata by acoustic emission
Inventor: HILL ROGER
IPC: G01V1/42
Filed: 1998-11-09
Abstract: An apparatus for analysing physical characteristics of sub-surface particulate media deploys an acoustic transducer 5 coupled to a revolving, ground penetrating drill 7. The drill causes characteristic acoustic emissions from particulate media being displaced by the drill, which acoustic emissions are transmitted through the drill and detected by the transducer. The drill incorporates special acoustic couplings 6 designed to prevent or reduce unwanted acoustic emissions, such as those arising from the drill motors 1 and the environment, reaching the transducer. Alternatively, or in addition, unwanted acoustic emissions reaching the transducer are filtered out by signal processing equipment.

Title: Automatic mounting/dismounting of image display devices
Inventor: KIM JEONG-KYU
IPC: H04N5/645
Filed: 1998-12-30
Abstract: A method of mounting an image display device 200 onto a fixture 210, such as a CRT front case, is described, wherein the image display device 200 is introduced onto an conveyor belt 203 and the fixture 210 is positioned below the conveyor belt, the fixture 210 is then moved relative to the conveyor belt 203 so that the fixture 210 ends in a position above the conveyor belt 203 and supports the image display device 200 such that a tilt testing pattern can be applied to the image display device 200 and the tilt of the image display device 200 adjusted accordingly. The image display device 200 is separated from the fixture 210 by moving the fixture 210 so that it ends in a position below the conveyor belt 203 and no longer supports the image display device. Finally, the image display device is conveyed away on the conveyor belt. The relative vertical movement of the fixture 210 and conveyor belt 203 may be achieved by either vertically moving the fixture 210 while the vertical position of the conveyor belt 203 remains stationary or by vertically moving the conveyor belt 203 while the vertical position of the fixture 210 remains stationary.

Title: Inhibiting bias buildup in memories
Inventor: ORLOWSKI PAWEL ANDRZY BRONISLA
IPC: G11C7/24
Filed: 1999-02-05
Abstract: Where the same data is stored for an extended period of time e.g. a cryptographic key variable, the possibility exists of unwanted burning in of the data which would allow undesired recovery of erased data even after it has been over-written or the memory has been powered down. The memory 1 contents are therefore periodically rewritten in the inverse of their former state, either to the same location in which they were previously stored, or elsewhere. Inversion may be performed in an invert cycle during which address decoders 30 driven by a high speed oscillator 20 read each cell and write back its contents inverted 60. On completion of a cycle, a latch may indicate whether the stored data is in a true or complement form. The latch may control programmable invertors so that cells are always read or written correctly, regardless of whether data happens to be in true or complement form.

Title: Protecting a submergible motor from corrosive agents
Inventor: STRAUB PETER H G
IPC: H02K5/132
Filed: 1999-10-05
Abstract: A motor protector for use in protecting an electric motor in a subterranean environment utilizes a dual, flexible bladder system. One of the expandable bladders 62 provides for the expansion and contraction of motor oil. The other expandable bladder 76 contains a supply of neutralizing solution 74. The bladder 76 filled with neutralizing solution 74 cooperates with the bladder 62 filled with motor oil to maintain the expandable bladder 62 bathed in neutralizing solution 74.
