623,736. Seaming rubber: moulding hollow plastic articles. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., CLARKE, C. E. EADON-, and MICKLEWRIGHT, P. L. April 13, 1946, No. 11397. [Classes 70 and 87 (ii)] [Also in Groups VIII and XI] Hollow articles such as bulbs made from a plurality of sheets of thermo-plastic material such as rubber or polyvinyl chloride are edge-seamed by placing the sheets between electrodes one at least of which has a dividing and seaming edge, applying a high frequency alternating or pulsating electric potential for a sufficient period to soften the thermo-plastic material, removing or substantially reducing the potential and subsequently applying a mechanical pressure sufficient to form a seam. In a device for seaming rubber bulbs, 8 bottom electrodes 16 (Fig. 14) fixed to back plate 31 are covered with a sheet of unvulcanized rubber, two plugs per mould are then placed in position by means of dimpled template 33 and then another sheet of rubber and top electrode 32 placed in position. The current is switched on and after the rubber has softened the power is cut off and the electrodes brought together by pressure, firstly to consolidate the welded joint and then to cut away excess material. The electrodes are preferably chamfered on the inside. Additional electrode limbs may be provided to form pockets in articles such as air cushions. The frequency used is normally above 5 megacycles. The Provisional Specification describes also a similar process in which the heating is produced by any suitable means.

I.c. engine with steam power stroke
|
en
|
A four-stroke reciprocating-piston i.c. engine includes a steam generator 5 in which water is converted to steam by the heat of the exhaust gases discharged from the cylinder 1. The steam is introduced via a steam valve 6 into the cylinder in the stroke normally used for induction to provide an additional power stroke. A substantial part of the energy which would have been lost to the atmosphere as heat in a conventional i.c. engine is thus recovered. Steam exiting the cylinder passes through a condenser 7 from which the water is pumped to a header tank 10 linked to the water jacket 3. The condensation of the steam reduces the pressure in the cylinder to below atmospheric pressure, drawing the fuel/air mixture into the cylinder without needing movement of the piston. On starting, the engine operates on a conventional four-stroke cycle with the inlet valve opening at the start of the induction stroke; when the engine has reached its working temperature the timing of the inlet valve is changed so that it opens at the end of the steam stroke.

Desmodromic valve mechanism
|
en
|
A valve mechanism comprising; a valve having a valve stem which is located for axial movement in a valve guide and a valve head adapted at one extreme of movement of the valve to locate against and close a valve seat; characterised in that a valve lever (20) is pivotally mounted at one end (21) and attached adjacent the other end (23) to the end (22) of the valve stem (12) remote from the valve head (13); said valve lever (20) defining a track (25); a drive pin assembly (40; 60) consisting of a retractable pin (39;65) mounted within a housing, having a first position which is engaged with, and a second position which is disengaged with said track, with control means to move between said first and second positions and drive means (30, 35; 61) to drive said drive pin assembly (40; 60) in oscillatory manner, said track (25) having a first portion (28, 62) which, when the valve (11) is closed and the retractable pin 39 is in said first position, coincides with the path of the retractable pin (39; 65) and a second portion (26, 27; 63) which diverges from the path of the retractable pin (39; 65), so that engagement of the second portion (26, 27; 63) by the retractable pin (39: 61) will cause the valve lever (20) to move opening and closing the valve (11). Preferably the mean position of oscillation of the drive pin (39) is adjustable so that the duration and amplitude of valve opening may be varied. In a reciprocating four stroke engine application the oscillatory frequency of the drive pin assembly (40) is the same as the frequency of rotation of the crank. The retractable pin 39 is engaged in the drive track (25) on alternate cycles of the crankshaft.

In a communications system in which an incoming email is received at an email server (12) within a secure domain, the incoming email is copied to a secondary server (20) outside that secure domain. The copy email message can then be retrieved from the secondary server (20) from a remote device outside the secure domain. The copy may be encrypted using a public key of a public/private key pair, with the remote device having the private key to enable decryption. The user of the remote device may be alerted to the presence of a message by sending a part of the message copy to the secondary server.

Particle detector using a second radiation emitter which becomes operative only if the signal from a first emitter signal exceeds a predetermined value
|
en
|
Detector has both blue and infra-red radiation emitters (3 and 3A). Light is forward scattered by the particles in scatter volume (9). The emitters are pulsed at different intermittent frequencies enabling the control means (16) to produce separate signals (21, 23) corresponding to the scattered blue and infra-red lights. A comparator (25) takes the ratio of these two signals to produce a smoke-dependent warning output to the alarm (32). Smoke particles scatter more blue light than infra red. The apparatus normally operates in monitoring mode in which the infra-red emitter (3A) is pulsed intensively but at a low flashing rate. The second emitter (blue light) is maintained <I>inoperative</I>, until the first emitter (infra-red) radiation scattering causes the photodiode (15) exceeds a predetermined output, at which point the blue (second) emitter is rendered <I>operative</I>. The state of second emitter may be changed between operative and inoperative in various ways e.g. by energising/de-energising the second emitter or by increasing/decreasing its amplitude or its intermittent frequency. Alternatively, the control system may keep the second emitter inoperative until the signal form the first emitter exceeded a predetermined value and this has elapsed a specific length of time.

The invention relates to a system for fault detection for a radio transceiver 200. The apparatus comprises a circulator 211 connected between a transmitter power amplifier (209) and a transceiver output 213. A load port 219 of the circulator 211 is the output for a reflected signal from an antenna subsystem 213, 221, 223, 225 and is coupled to a receiver unit 231. The receiver unit 231 measures a load port parameter, preferably the power level, of the reflected signal on the load port 219. The fault detection system determines if a fault condition exists in response to the measured load port parameter. Specifically, a fault is determined to exist if the reflected power level is above a given threshold. The system is applicable to for example base stations for a cellular communication system.

A transmitter device comprises an OFDM transmission unit, a multi-carrier CDMA transmission unit, and a control unit for selecting either the OFDM transmission unit or the multicarrier-CDMA transmission unit in response to propagation conditions. The propagation conditions are a distance from the receiver device and the ratio of signal power to the sum of interference and noise power (SINR). The propagation conditions may also include delay spread and maximum Doppler frequency. TDMA is used. Within a single frame some time slots may use conventional OFDM whilst others use MC-CDMA (see Fig. 3). The modulation conditions, coding rate and spreading rate may each be adapted in response to the propagation conditions. A receiving device near a cell boundary may receive the same signal from two different base stations. This is known as site diversity. The invention facilitates extension of the cell coverage area (see Fig. 1).

Automatically synchronising a timebase on a mobile communication device
|
en
|
A typical mobile device will receive signals from non-serving base stations. These signals are transmitted in cycles and the mobile device will "listen out" for parts of the cycle at specified times. However, as the device moves further or closer to the base station the time of arrival of the signal will change, and the device will lose synchronisation with the base station. Current systems account for this by increasing the size of the arrival window. This is inefficient and also there is the possibility that in extreme cases an arrival could be missed completely. The present invention overcomes this problem by finding the location of the base station (e.g. GPS) and comparing it with the present location of the mobile device (by GPS or any other known technique). The time of arrival of the required information can then be calculated.

Enabling communication between two network nodes
|
en
|
The network address translation (NAT) carried out by routers in communication networks hides the true IP addresses of nodes in a local network. This poses several challenges on all protocols like e.g. H.323 and SIP, which place IP-addresses in the signalling data. RFC 3489 - "STUN - Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol" describes a method on how an endpoint of a data flow can learn about its globally valid internet address. However, there exist situations, where this global internet address is not visible to communication partners, e.g. because the addresses within a corporate network overlap with official internet addresses. The current invention seeks to generalize the concept described in RFC 3489 in order to also solve those situations, where an address translation of both, the source and the destination address takes place in a single network node. In addition a method of translating IP addresses found in signalling data by intermediate nodes (e.g. Gatekeepers) is defined. With this method, the H.323- or SIP-stack of the endpoints can be kept unchanged, while all translation work is done in the intermediate nodes.

Freeze-thaw valve limiting cryogenic usage
|
en
|
Methods and devices for the management of cryogenic agents within analytical systems using freeze thaw valving having an expansion chamber (101) that limits the flow of the cryogenic agent. The expansion chamber (101) is fitted with an expansion nozzle (106) through which a cryogen flows and a porous frit (105) that allows the cryogen to he exhausted. The porous frit (105) initially allows a rapid flow of cryogen into the expansion chamber (101). This rapid flow lowers the temperature of the expansion chamber (101) causing fluid contents within a freeze thaw segment (103) to freeze. As the cryogen expands into the expansion chamber (101) and turns into a solid, the porous frit (105) is occluded causing the rapid flow to be restricted. The restriction of the cryogen flow by the occlusion of the porous frit (105) allows the freeze thaw valve to use significantly less cryogen. Sublimation of the cryogen trapped within the porous frit (105) provides sufficient cooling to maintain the valve in its closed position.

Multi-leaf collimator with rack and pinion actuator
|
en
|
A multi-leaf collimator comprises an elongate leaf moveable in a longitudinal direction, and having an associated toothed rack driven by a pinion, wherein the rack is carried on an elongate actuator section, having a transversely extending link section, the leaf being connected to the link section and thereby being spaced from the actuator section. The pinion can thus be mounted on a shaft which is disposed transversely to the leaves of the array, and which passes between those leaves and their respective actuators. Some leaves can be driven via pinions mounted on shafts passing over the array, and other leaves can be driven via pinions mounted on shafts passing within the gaps between leaves and actuators. This means that twice the number of drive shafts can be fitted into the same length of array, thus either shortening the array or permitting more leaves and hence greater resolution. The drive mechanism can also be made as a separate unit. A separate drive unit is advantageous in manufacturing as it allows the drive unit to be produced, built and tested as a separate assembly in a specialist environment. Service replacement of the entire gearbox in the event of a fault will also be swifter, with minimal re-setting. Further, the gearbox will be an enclosed unit, with integral lubrication and shielded from environmental dust and debris. The invention also offers a major advantage in the leaf length is no longer dictated by the length of the rack. The leaf can be made smaller, saving material and reducing its weight. That reduction in weight will make movement of the leaf easier, improving both accuracy and reliability.

Method for predicting quantitative values of a rock or fluid property in a reservoir using seismic data
|
en
|
A method is provided for predicting a value of a designated rock or fluid property in a subterranean geologic volume. A first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property is also assigned to a volume of a multi-dimensional, multi-scale model. A first predicted value of seismic response for the model volume is calculated from a response model using the first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property, wherein the response model is responsive to changes in predicted values of the designated rock or fluid property. A synthetic trace is generated and iteratively compared to the corresponding trace obtained from one or more sets of actual seismic data to determine a difference while consistency is maintained between the types, scales and dimensions of values and data. The first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property is adjusted in response to the difference to create a second predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property, wherein the second predicted value generally reduces the difference.

At least one ARQ protocol data unit (PDU) is formed from an ARQ service data unit (SDU). The ARQ PDU comprises a header portion and a data portion. If the PDU contains the last bit of an ARQ SDU, a length indicator field (LI) is added to the header portion. This means that LIs are not unnecessarily added to PDUs; hence header overhead is reduced, and there is more space for the PDU payload. An additional embodiment has a plurality of PDUs from different SDUs formed into one HARQ PDU. In that case, if the last PDU is found not to be carrying the last bit of an SDU, then the last PDU will not have an LI added to it, rather LIs will be added to all other ARQ PDUs even though they are not carrying the last bit of an ARQ SDU.

The vector alignment motor uses the wound induction motor principle with two or more rotors with sets of windings, which can be moved relative to each other in such a way that the voltage vector addition can be varied. Alternative the stator may have two or more section which can be relatively rotated. Vector addition of two equal voltages will produce a resultant voltage varying from zero to double depending on the relative phase angle. Zero corresponds to two voltages which are 180 degrees out of phase and double voltage corresponds to 0 degrees or in phase. All voltages in between will correspond to a certain angle of alignment between the two windings. At each voltage there will be a corresponding current, and hence torque, power and speed. As shown in the figs, the arrangement may comprise two motors linked together or a single motor with a split rotor.

A method and system for increasing throughput of laser micromachining systems use more than one laser. Two or more pulsed laser beams (56, 58) are combined and then separated into multiple laser beams (80, 82) that enable the system to work simultaneously at multiple locations on the workpiece (20) with pulse rates greater than those achievable with independently operating lasers while maintaining pulse energy equal to or greater than the pulse energy of each of the original independent laser beams. Most laser micromachining applications required multiple sequential pulses to process a workpiece. Increasing the pulse rate while maintaining pulse energy effects more rapid material removal and thereby increases throughput for a laser micromachining system.
