Patent GB-2446821-A (GB)
Title: An ambient light sensing system
Inventor: BROWN CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: G09G3/34
Filed: 2007-02-07
Abstract: A light sensing system comprises a first light sensor 21', a second light sensor 21 and a first light shielding material 24 disposed over the first light sensor 21' but not over the second light sensor 21 so as to block ambient light from being incident on the first light sensor 21'. A first electrically conductive material 23a is disposed between the first light shielding layer 24 and the first light sensor and a second, at least partially light-transmissive, electrically conductive material 23b is disposed over the second light sensor. The first electrically conductive material 23a eliminates any parasitic capacitance that would otherwise be set up by the light shielding layer 24 (which is typically a metallic layer). The second electrically conductive material 23b ensures that the two light sensors are as closely electrically matched to one another as possible. Thus, a difference between the outputs of the first and second light sensors may reliably be taken as an indication of the level of ambient light. The first and second electrically conductive materials 23a, 23b may be provided by disposing a single layer of electrically conductive material (23, Fig. 9a), which is at least partially light-transmissive, so as to cover both light sensors. The sensor may be used with an Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD).

IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2007-10-25
Abstract: An electrical submersible pump (ESP) 36 completion installed in casing 12 perforated for water disposal 14 and production 16 is disclosed. A packer 90 separates the disposal zone 94 and the production zone 92. An inverted ESP 36 assembly is located inside of a canister 70.

Title: Radio communication system, and sending power control method therefor
Inventor: KURODA NAHOKO
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2006-11-02
Abstract: In a radio channel of an upstream line, on which a plurality of mobile stations share radio resources thereby to send data, a base station can set a proper sending power. The base station notifies the sending power information of the RACH of the upstream line, and the mobile stations send the sending delay estimate information in the RACH, at the sending power based on the sending power information. The base station changes the sending power information of the RACH according to the sending delay estimate information, and notifies the changed information to the mobile stations. At a predetermined time after data or preamble was sent at the RACH, the mobile station resends the data or the preamble, in case an ACK for notifying that the sent data or preamble was correctly received is not received at an AICH of a downstream line. The base station sends the sending power information at the BCH and CPICH to the mobile stations.

Patent GB-2452591-A (GB)
Title: Solid Electrolytic Capacitor with a Reflective Layer
Inventor: PETRZILEK JAN
IPC: H01R4/02
Filed: 2008-08-06
Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor that is capable of withstanding laser welding without a significant deterioration in its electrical performance. The capacitor contains an anode body 50, dielectric layer 52 overlying the anode body, and a solid organic electrolyte layer 54 overlying the dielectric layer; a light reflective layer 60 that overlies the solid organic electrolyte layer, the reflective layer contains reflective particles, preferably of titanium having an index of refraction of 1.7 or more. The light reflective layer may help reflect any light that inadvertently travels toward the capacitor element during laser welding. This results in reduced contact of the solid organic electrolyte with the laser and thus minimizes defects in the electrolyte that would have otherwise been formed by carbonization. The resultant laser-welded capacitor is therefore characterized by such performance characteristics as relatively low ESR and low leakage currents.

Title: A system and a method for converting the kinetic energy stored in landing aircraft into electricity
Inventor: ZHONG QINGCHANG
IPC: B60L9/08
Filed: 2008-12-23
Abstract: A system and a method for converting the kinetic energy stored in landing aircraft into electricity consists of a parking vehicle for aircraft to move onto so that both can move together, the system comprises: a magnetic field generated by permanent magnets or energised coils laid into or onto the runway; coils mounted to the parking vehicle; a power conditioning device to process the generated electricity in the coils; a brush/conductor set to interface the coils with the fixed part of the system; and a runway controller to operate and control the whole system, according to the instructions from the control tower. After the aircraft touches down, it moves onto the parking vehicle, which then moves forward together with the aircraft. Because of the movement and the existence of a magnetic field, electricity is generated in the coils. After processing, the electricity is fed back to the grid and/or consumed by local loads. The coils can be driven by an external power source and hence the parking vehicle can move aircraft around for engineless taxiing and assisted takeoff.

Title: Method of printing using a curable printing medium
Inventor: ANDERSON PAUL ANTHONY
IPC: B41J2/01
Filed: 2009-05-08
Abstract: The application describes a method and apparatus for controlling surface finish in the printing of a substrate 3 in a plurality of passes using a curable print material and an ink jet printer having a radiation source 11, 13. A first set of passes is carried out, including depositing ink on the substrate and emitting radiation from a radiation source 11, 13 toward the deposited ink. The emitted radiation applies a dose of radiation in a first range. A second set of passes is then carried out to deposit ink on the substrate. Further radiation is emitted from a radiation source 11, 13 toward the deposited ink, the emitted radiation applying a dose of radiation in a second range different from the first range. The first set of passes may partially cure the deposited ink and the second set of passes may fully cure the ink. The first of passes may also emit radiation toward the deposited ink to produce a printed surface having a first surface finish and the second set of passes emit radiation toward the deposited ink to produce a second surface finish different from the first.

Title: Method of separating parts joined by devitrified glass seals
IPC: H01J9/52
Filed: 1959-03-23
Abstract: 851,843. Glass seals. CORNING GLASS WORKS. March 23, 1959 [March 24, 1958], No. 10012/59. Class 56. In order to separate parts of an article joined by a deritrified glass seal formed at an elevated temperature, such, for example, as described in Specification 822,272, the seal is weakened by heating it to a temperature above (say 50C. above) the sealing temperature and placing the seal in tension to separate the parts. To separate the funnel 12 and panel 14 of a cathode ray tube sealed at 16, the tube is placed in a kiln 24 and heated by, for example, radiant heating units, not shown, the tube being mounted by the clamping system 32 with the panel 14 spaced from the support 22. An air pressure of a few pounds per square inch is then momentarily applied to the interior of the tube through a line 38, sufficient to apply a force of 20-60 pounds per square inch of seal and to break the seal. The sealing glass may be removed from the separated components by the solution described in Specification 822,273.
