Patent GB-2421165-A (GB)
Title: A retractable landing net
Inventor: RINGWOOD STEPHEN
IPC: A01K77/00
Filed: 2004-12-18
Abstract: A retractable landing net includes two net guides 5 which support the net and which are hinged, with spigot lugs 13, to a sleeve 2 which is able to slide along a handle/pole 1. In use the sleeve is fully engaged and held in position by a locking button (11). This means that the guides are fully splayed by the spreader bar 6 and the net support cord (15) is fully tensioned. To retract the net, the button is depressed releasing the sliding sleeve and allowing it to slide back along the length of the handle. This allows the net guides to fold parallel to the handle.

Title: LED feedback controller
Inventor: CHEN CHENG FANG
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2005-06-06
Abstract: An LED controller has a sensing unit 11, a control unit 12, and a driving unit 13 connected to form a feedback loop. The LED output is sensed, amplified, and converted to a digital signal for processing. The controller then adjusts a control signal to maintain the LED output at a required intensity and colour according to CIE colorimetry. The controller can determine that the LED is ageing when the difference between the feedback signal and the control signal reaches a default degree, such as by comparison with a table held in memory (123, figure 2), and can alter the sensing interval accordingly. The driving unit 13 has a first adjustment unit 132 and a second adjustment unit 133 and drives the LED according to a switch signal, a PWM signal, and a driving signal. The second adjustment unit 133 may generate a feedback signal to the control unit 12, and may also accelerate discharge of the LED to allow more rapid and precise switching.

Patent GB-2439983-A (GB)
Title: Frequency compensation for an audio power amplifier
Inventor: WHATLEY PAUL MARTIN
IPC: H03F3/21
Filed: 2006-07-13
Abstract: Improved frequency compensation for an amplifier enables much greater feedback to be applied to the output stage 16 of the amplifier, thereby reducing output signal distortion. In a conventional audio power amplifier, when frequency compensation is applied across the voltage driver stage 14 the available feedback that can be applied from the output stage to the input stage of the amplifier falls with increasing frequency, thus reducing the ability of the feedback loop to lessen output signal distortion. To solve this problem an RC network 50 is coupled to the compensating capacitor 30 so that local feedback from the output stage dominates at signal frequencies to improve linearity while feedback from the driver stage output dominates at high frequencies to ensure stability. Positive feedback from output node 18 to drive node 26 through network 50 provides a bootstrapping effect which reduces the load on the driver stage 14. Double pole compensation may be used (figures 6-8), with an optional phase offsetting lead network (55, figures 7,8) in the overall gain setting feedback path 20.
