Patent BR-9907968-A (BR)
Inventor: LANGER ROBERT S
IPC: A61L31/14
Filed: 1999-02-23
Abstract: Biodegradable shape memory polymer compositions, articles of manufacture thereof, and methods of preparation and use thereof are described. In one embodiment the compositions include at least one hard segment and at least one soft segment. The Ttrans of the hard segment is preferably between -30 and 270 DEG  C. At least one of the hard or soft segments can contain a crosslinkable group, and the segments can be linked by formation of an interpenetrating network or a semi-interpenetrating network, or by physical interactions of the segments. Objects can be formed into a given shape at a temperature above the Ttrans of the hard segment, and cooled to a temperature below the Ttrans of the soft segment. If the object is subsequently formed into a second shape, the object can return to its original shape by heating the object above the Ttrans of the soft segment and below the Ttrans of the hard segment.

IPC: C06B21/00

Granted: 1933-01-27
Abstract: Trinitrotoluene, completely or nearly free from mineral acids, is purified by treating it in the molten state at or about its solidifaction point and preferably not above 83 DEG  C., with a dilute aqueous solution of an alkali sulphite such as sodium sulphite in the presence of a weakly acidic substance or mixture of substances in quantity at least sufficient to maintain an appreciably steady hydrogen ion concentration throughout the treatment, the initial hydrogen ion concentration of the aqueous solution lying between pH 7,0 and 8,3.  Suitable weakly acidic solutions are a mixture of sodium acetate and acetic acid, sodium mono hydrogen phosphate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate, boric acid alone or where the crude trinitrotoluene contains a little residual acid boric acid mixed with sodium borate, ammonium bicarbonate or sodium bicarbonate.  In an example molten crude trinitrotoluene, previously washed with water until practically free from mineral acid, is stirred with an aqueous solution of sodium sulphite, sodium monohydrogen phosphate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate.  The mixture is allowed to settle and the separated trinitrotoluene is treated with a further amount of the aqueous solution, separated and washed.  The process may be carried out continuously.

Title: Reduction of systematic noise in electronic systems
Inventor: HULME ALAN C
IPC: G01P5/24
Filed: 2000-03-01
Abstract: An ultrasonic gas metering device which uses mixed signal ASICs can be particularly sensitive to systematic noise from the system clock. The system comprises a pair of ultrasonic transducers (132, 134) which in turn transmit and receive signal pulses into a medium (136) to be measured, a fast main clock (124) and a slower sub-clock (122). Signal pulses are transmitted to coincide with sub-clock edges. Systematic interference occurs when the arrival of a signal pulse coincides with another sub-clock edge. To prevent coincidence, the signal pulse transmission may be delayed by a variable number of main clock periods. In one embodiment, the delay is first incremented in steps of one main clock period then decremented in steps of one main clock period. In another embodiment, the delay is controlled by a microcontroller and the knowledge of the delay is used to avoid coincidence with sub-clock edges.

Title: Utility meter
Inventor: FURMIDGE NEIL
IPC: G01F1/075
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: A modular water meter comprises a meter base 2 to which is detachably connected a meter head or totaliser 3. The base contains the transducer and a storage means such as an EEPROM, the memory storing data which is specific to the transducer. The meter head 3 includes a processor such as an encoder which takes output from the transducer and uses information from the EEPROM to produce an output signal which is independent of the characteristics of the transducer. This enables the meter base to be replaced without any adjustment being necessary to the electronics in the meter head. The meter head may include an RF module which responds to a RF signal from a meter reading apparatus. Such RF output may be time multiplexed. The meter base may include means for applying an electrical signal across the normal fluid path within the meter so as to provide an indication of the presence or absence of water in the fluid path.

Title: A method of routing data with a guaranteed quality of service
Inventor: TANG BOB
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 2001-03-19
Abstract: This simple ready method routes all data (eg IP packets/ ATM cell) between source and destination only along non-blocking links of router nodes on the Internet without data portion checksum processing at the nodes (eg using Real time Streaming Protocol IPv4 UDP packet type with checksum disabled; or as IPv6 specified hops UDP packets which has checksum included in the data portion but routed only along cut-through router/switches). The IP Packet here is sent without error correction checksum in the data portion, or the nodes along the route do not perform any error controls on the data portions of the IP Packets/ATM cells. Hence there will not be any IP Packets/ATM cells retransmissions occurrence along the route. IP Packets/ATM Cells with Header portion checksum errors detected could simply be discarded.

Title: Cyclic redundancy code generator
Inventor: HYLAND KEVIN JAMES
IPC: H03M13/09
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: A cycle redundancy code (CRC) generator (13) for data packets without an inter-packet gap comprises a CRC generator which divides each packet by a generator polynomial of degree n where n is an integer and augmenting logic which divides, by the generator polynomial, the product of the intermediate remainder and the term of order n in the generator polynomial, whereby each packet is padded out with zeros. This zero padding is achieved using simple logic (15) instead of a state machine upstream of the CRC generating logic (see figure 1). The packets are presented in parallel byte form and operations are performed using an array of exclusive-OR gates.
Patent GB-2378077-A (GB)
Title: Electronic image colour plane reconstruction
Inventor: POLLARD STEPHEN BERNARD
IPC: G06T5/20
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: This invention relates to an image processing method and device for correcting the colour of a colour image. The colour image is composed of at least two sets of image pixels (13,14,15) that have a distinct colour value (16,17,18) and a luminance value. For each colour value (16,17,18) a low spatial frequency monochrome image (33,34,35) is generated composed of a set of smoothed image pixels, on which the colour correction function operates. In one embodiment, a sub-set of the smoothed image pixels (63,64,65) is then selected, and a colour correction function is applied to each of these sub-sets to generate corresponding sub-sets of corrected smoothed image pixels (53,54,55). The correction includes a contribution from smoothed image pixels in one or more of the other sets of smoothed image pixels (33,34,35). The sub-sets of corrected smoothed image pixels may then be completed (53,54,55) by interpolation or extrapolation. Each set of corrected smoothed image pixels is then used to generate a corrected colour image. In one embodiment, this is done by generating (26,27,28) one or more high spatial frequency luminance images (43,44,45), and then combining (50) these image(s) with each of the corrected low spatial frequency monochrome images (53,54,55) to form the full colour image (20).

Abstract: A memory device has a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows, in which the number of columns is equal to the number of bits in the data bus of a corresponding processing unit 33a-33y. A number of distributed portions of DRAM 31a, 31b, . . .31y, are directly accessed by separate processing units 33a, 33b,. . .33y (ALU 1, ALU 2,. . . ALU Y). Each portion of the DRAM is arranged such that the number of columns equals the number of bits used by the associated processing unit. For example, DRAM 31a has n columns which matches the n-bit ALU 1, 33a. Similarly DRAM 31y has z columns, which equals the z-bit ALU Y, 33y. The outputs from the memory device are via sense amplifiers SA. The memory device may be an embedded DRAM.
