Title: Improvements in or relating to feed forward equalisation
Filed: 2012-01-24
Abstract: A serialiser/deserialiser (SERDES) receiver 11 comprises a feed forward equaliser (FFE) 4 and a decision feedback equaliser (DFE) 5 acting as a data slicer. The FFE makes an estimate of a future sample by slicing the future sample with respect to a predetermined slicing level and corrects a current sample for the effect of the future sample before it is sliced by the DFE. The FFE subtracts at least one quantising level from the current sample if the future bit is rendered as a 1 or adds at least one quantising level if the future bit is rendered as a 0. The receiver is arranged such that the subtraction and addition are performed only if the bit values of the current and future samples as rendered by the FFE are different. The invention prevents the FFE from applying a correction that is adverse to noise margin and bit error rate by moving the current sample value closer to the data slicing level of the data slicer.

Patent GB-201216897-D0 (GB)
Title: Position and orientation estimation method and apparatus therefor
Filed: 2011-01-12
Abstract: There is provided a method for accurately estimating a position and orientation of an object even if the object is more dispersive in shape than a three-dimensional geometric model with a standard shape. The statistic of deviation of a feature constituting a three-dimensional model representing a three-dimensional standard shape of an object is estimated to determine a reliability for each feature. The amount of deviation is calculated between the feature extracted from observation data obtained by an imaging apparatus and the feature in the three-dimensional model. The three-dimensional position and orientation of the object is estimated based on the amount of deviation and the reliability related to each feature extracted from the three-dimensional model.

Title: Arrangement and method for cutting information into a metallic groove carrier
Inventor: REDLICH HORST
IPC: G11B3/68
Filed: 1982-04-03
Granted: 1984-08-23
Abstract: Apparatus for recording an information signal on a metallic record carrier. The information is impressed on the carrier by cutting a groove therein by means of a stylus, the groove being characterized at each point by a slope or modulation pitch angle. The stylus has a longitudinal axis, a leading edge substantially parallel to this axis and a trailing edge. The angle between the longitudinal axis of the stylus and a normal to the surface of the record carrier is greater than 10 DEG  and not more than a value which would make the angle between the trailing edge of the stylus and the surface of the record carrier less than the maximum modulation pitch angle. The stylus is movably attached to a fixed structure by a mounting member and is electromagnetically excited by a driving member to shape the grooves in the record carrier in accordance with the information signal. The record carrier, stylus, mounting and driving members are dimensioned to generate an oscillation at a frequency which is higher than that of the information signal and superimpose this oscillation on the information signal.
