Title: Switchable permanent magnetic device
Inventor: KOCIJAN FRANZ
IPC: H01F7/04
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: A switchable magnetic device includes a first magnet (10) and a second magnet (11), both of which are essentially cylindrical. Magnets (10, 11) are housed in a housing made from pole pieces (12,13). Pole pieces (12, 13) are ferromagnetic. Lower magnet (10) is fixedly mounted in the housing whilst upper magnet (11) can rotate within the housing. Upper magnet (11) is formed with notches or grooves (14, 15) along its vertical side walls. These notches or grooves (14, 15) receive downwardly depending arms (16, 17) of bar (18).  Bar (18) is received inside a groove (19) formed on boss (20). Boss (20) is connected to a short bar (21) that, in turn, is fixedly connected to a handle or lever (22). By this means, rotation of handle or lever (22) causes rotation of second magnet (11). When the upper magnet (11) is positioned such that its north pole substantially overlies the south pole of lower magnet (10) and the south pole of upper magnet (11) substantially overlies the north pole of lower magnet (10), the first and second magnets act as an internal active magnetic shunt and as a result the external magnetic field strength from the device is quite low. Rotating the upper magnet (11) 180~ about its axis of rotation brings the magnets into alignment such that the respective north and south poles of the upper magnet (11) substantially overlie respective north and south poles of lower magnet (10). In this alignment, the external magnet field from the device is quite strong and the device can be affixed to surfaces or objects.

Title: Method and system for power line null detection and automatic frequency and gain control
Inventor: BARTHOLOMEW DAVID
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 2001-04-17
Abstract: A system and method for detecting power line null frequencies and for adjusting the transmit frequency and transmit power to maximize the reliability and efficiency of the AC power line transmission link. The system includes a programmable logic device (102) in the transmitter, which receives information (101) and generatesa control signal (103) which controls the gain of amplifier (109) and provides a PPL control signal (104) for directing the Phase Locked Loop (105) in its selection of multiple frequencies for transmission to a receiver. A receiver detects and records the bit error rate and/or the received noise per frequency and communicates this information to the transmitter. When all desired frequencies have been transmitted and tested, the optimal frequency is identified or selected. Generally, the optimal frequency is the frequency requiring the lowest transmit power while maintaining an acceptable bit error rate or an acceptable noise level.

Abstract: The invention is a method to reduce the number of cigarettes consumed by a smoker, preferably towards the goal of eventual cessation. The method comprises collecting data that describes a smoker's cigarette consumption, using said data to generate a reduced smoking regimen, and implementing said reduced smoking regimen. By reducing the number of cigarettes consumed and equally distributing their consumption over the smoker's smoking hours, the method helps the smoker to reduce tobacco consumption and break psychological smoking associations. The method implemented for tobacco reduction is flexible enough to accomodate smokers who are not compliant as it continues to reduce scheduled consumption. Likewise, the method may accomodate smokers capable of accelerating their reduction.
