Title: Synchronising audio and video content in teleconference system
Inventor: GWILT DAVID JOHN
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2011-06-16
Abstract: Synchronising a teleconference comprising audio carried on a telephone network 110 and a data stream (such as video) carried on a computer network (such as the internet) 103 by determining a characteristic 334 of the audio input at a first node of a teleconference system and inserting 338 it into the data stream input at the first node. The audio is transmitted over the telephone network and the data stream is transmitted over the computer network. The audio and data streams are received at a second node in the teleconference system and the audio characteristic extracted 328 from the data stream. The receiving node determines a characteristic 324 of the received audio using the same method performed on the original signal and compares 318 this with the extracted audio characteristic to determine a time offset between the first and second node. The received audio and digital data streams are synchronised by adjusting a relative time delay between the audio and digital data stream at either or both of the first and second node.

Title: Liner drilling and cementing system utilizing a concentric inner ring
Inventor: ERIKSEN ERIK P
IPC: E21B7/20
Filed: 2009-12-30
Abstract: A method of drilling a well and installing a liner includes assembling concentric inner and outer strings of tubulars, A drill bit is located at the lower end of the inner string and a liner with a liner hanger makes up part of the outer string. The inner and outer strings may be rotated in unison to drill the well. At a selected depth, the operator sets the liner hanger and retrieves the inner string. The operator lowers a packer and a cement retainer on a string of conduit. The packer engages the liner hanger and the cement retainer is conveyed to the lower end of the liner. The cement retainer prevents cement in the outer annulus from flowing back up the string of conduit. The operator manipulates the conduit to set the packer.

Title: Gradient coil system with reduced mechanical vibration
Inventor: CALVERT SIMON JAMES
IPC: G01R33/385
Filed: 2011-12-01
Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging system comprises main superconducting coils 30 in an outer vacuum chamber (OVC) 14, a thermal radiation shield 16 (figure 4, not shown) surrounding the main coils, a primary gradient coil assembly 22 located radially inside the primary superconducting coils and a secondary gradient coil assembly 24 radially outside the primary superconducting coils and mechanically attached 26 to the primary gradient coil assembly.

Title: Displaying and selectively retrieving information encoded in a data matrix
Inventor: BEATTY BOB
IPC: G06K7/14
Filed: 2012-01-27
Abstract: The method comprises encrypting data into a single data matrix image, such as a QR Code and allowing it to be decoded in such a way that different viewers can access different elements of the data, when it is being displayed on a mobile device such as a smart phone. An owner of the data first submits data through a program which encodes it as a data matrix image which is then displayed on the ownerâ  s mobile display device. Software running on a reader device 320 viewing the data matrix image 330 displays information from the image and if some fields are encrypted 350, may prompt the user to provide an unlock key. After the correct unlock key has been submitted by the user, the software may display the encrypted fields 350 as well as the unencrypted fields 340.

Title: High-frequency module having an external terminal connected to a test terminal of an integrated circuit switch element
Inventor: UEJIMA TAKANORI
IPC: H01L23/12
Filed: 2012-02-02
Abstract: A high-frequency module 10 for a communication apparatus, e.g. a cellular phone, comprises a laminate having a plurality of dielectric layers (fig.4) each having an electrode pattern formed thereon, a power supply circuit outputting a voltage to drive the high-frequency module 10 and a high-frequency integrated circuit, e.g. switch element 11, mounted on the laminate. The switch element 11 has a test terminal PT connected to the power supply circuit for checking a voltage of the power supply circuit. A test external terminal PTest, which outputs a signal to the outside, is provided on a back surface of the laminate. The laminate has a voltage transmission path electrically connecting the test terminal PT to the test external terminal PTest (fig.5). Hence, the waveform of an output voltage from the switch element 11 can be detected without disassembling the high-frequency module 10 so that it is easy to identify whether a defect occurs in the power supply circuit or in the module substrate.

Title: Characterisation of an envelope-tracking amplifier by use of a set of envelope shaping functions
Inventor: WILLS GARVIN
IPC: G01R27/28
Filed: 2012-03-30
Abstract: In order to measure gain, phase and efficiency performance of an envelope-tracking amplifier as a function of both signal input power level and amplifier supply voltage, a test signal representative of a typical transmission signal is applied to the amplifier while measurements are made for each of a set of envelope shaping functions representative of normal operation. The various amplitudes of the test signal and the different shapes of the shaping functions provides coverage of the signal power and supply voltage space. The use of input test signals and shaping functions similar to those encountered during actual transmission improves the accuracy of the amplifier characterisation. Thermal effects are similar during calibration and in normal operation. The measured three-dimensional gain, phase and efficiency plots (figures 5a,5b and 5c) allow an envelope shaping function to be derived which optimises linearity or efficiency.

IPC: H04W4/021
Filed: 2012-05-25
Abstract: Location presence information is provided to advertising services 107 by a femto-cell management system 101 in a femto/pico-cell environment. When an Access Controller (AC) 110 of the management system 101 notifies an Access point Management System (AMS) 112 of the management system 101 that an access point 103, 104, 105 is registering, the AMS 112 sends back an accept message to which is attached an additional zonal flag. On registration of user equipment 109 with a pico cell 104, which has been previously identified as a designated zone, the management system 101 sends an alert to the advertising services 107. A SMS controller 106 permits the advertising services 107 to send a welcome text message, including advertising content, to the user equipment 109. The management system 101 can also act as a centralised GSMA OneAPI application gateway for location presence.
