20100070243 | Wire Harness Unfolding - Various implementations of the invention provide methods and apparatus for determining an unfolded connector clocking angle corresponding to a folded wire harness. More particularly, various implementations of the invention may be employed to manipulate or “unfold” a three-dimensional wire harness representation into a two-dimensional representation such that the two-dimensional connector clocking angle may be determined. In various implementations of the invention, the wire harness is approximated as an alternating series of straight segments and curved segments. Subsequently, the curved segments are straightened or “unfolded” such that the wire harness may be contained within a single geometric plane. As the curved segments are unfolded, the positioning of the wire harness connectors and the connector clocking angles is transformed. As a result, the connector clocking angles for an unfolded wire harness may be determined. | 03-18-2010 |

20110064212 | POWER BACKUP SYSTEM - An electrically powered node of a telecommunications system has a battery power backup associated with its power control unit. Under normal conditions it is maintained fully charged by means of trickle currents from the mains power feeds to each of a number of mains—connected customer equipments, by way of the “final drop” to the distribution point. These trickle currents are controlled by the respective power control units to prevent overcharging. Using an electrical copper connection provided in parallel with the fibre connection, a battery backup can also be maintained in nodes further towards the exchange. The feeds are reversible, so that if a power outage removes the power supply from the customer premises, a “lifeline” plain telephone service between the exchange and the telephone handset is maintained using the local battery backup in the remote nodes. By limiting the service to simple telephony, the battery power can be sufficient to maintain the service for a reasonable duration. The power management systems can be used to transfer charge from one battery to another over the network according to the usage, or remaining life, of each battery. | 03-17-2011 |

20100040380 | OPTICAL CORRELATION APPARATUS - An optical correlation apparatus is described which forms first and second parallel optical signals in response to a serial input data stream. The first parallel optical signal is arranged to have bright pulses represent binary 1 and the second parallel optical signal is arranged to have bright pulses represent binary 0. A channel select means, such as an optical switch or amplitude modulators deselects or blocks channels in the first parallel optical signal which correspond to binary 1 in a reference data string and also deselects or blocks channels in the second parallel optical signal which correspond to binary 0 in the reference data string. The remaining optical signals are combined at one or more detectors. Where the input data matches the reference data string each bright pulse in the first and second parallel optical signals is deselected and the detector registers zero intensity. However when there is any mismatch at least one channel will pass a bright pulse to the detector. An instance of zero intensity can therefore be used as an indication of pattern match. | 02-18-2010 |

20110133496 | ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM - An anti-theft system for securing a removable battery to a power tool. The system employs a tamper-proof retainer to ensure that the retail display of a combined power tool and its associated battery can be displayed as a single unit without fear of theft of the battery. This may be achieved by the tamper-proof retainer securing a battery release latch against its release position hence securing the battery to the tool in a manner preventing the removal of the battery by a potential thief. The tamper-proof retainer either prevents removal of the battery from the power tool, as removal of the tamper-proof retainer is impossible, or, if it is destroyed by a thief, then it permanently secures the battery to the power tool. | 06-09-2011 |
