Title: Lamp having a phosphor.
Inventor: MONTGOMERY DAVID JAMES
IPC: F21K2/00
Filed: 2010-02-09
Abstract: A lamp has a layer of phosphor 43 which is irradiated 46, for example by ultraviolet radiation, by a source, for example a laser diode and a condenser 41. This causes the phosphor 43 to emit visible light with a Lambertion type emission pattern. An optical system, for example, a reflector 44 concentrates the light from the phosphor 43. The phosphor 43 is thermally connected to a heatsink 45, for example, by a plate of sapphire glass 42, to dissipate the heat produced by the phosphor 43. Filters (61, 71 fig 7) may be used to control the irradiation 46 and the visible light.

Title: Resource allocation signalling within an enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH)
Inventor: AWAD YASSIN ADEN
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2012-08-02
Abstract: A mobile telecommunications system is described in which a base station uses enhanced allocation techniques to reduce fragmentation of resource allocations within a sub-frame due to the presence of additional control data, e.g. enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH), within resources used for carrying user data. Different solutions are described including the provision of supplementary information to supplement existing resource allocation data, use of overloading such that Downlink Control Information (DCI) formats may have different interpretations, and the provision of new DCI formats. In one embodiment a bitmap 95a, 95b indicates which resource blocks contain ePDCCH transmissions and so should be excluded from the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) legacy resource allocation 29. In this way, resource blocks which themselves do not contain an ePDCCH transmission but which form part of a resource block group that does contain at least one ePDCCH transmission can still be allocated to the user device.

Title: Chirp modulation
Inventor: HISCOCK PAUL DOMINIC
IPC: H04L27/32
Filed: 2013-11-29
Abstract: This application is concerned with encoding data onto chirp signals. Equation 18 describes the chirp signal. Figure 3 illustrates the instantaneous frequency of one chirp of this signal. The starting frequency of the chirp, which is referred to in the claims as the cyclic frequency offset, is determined by the parameter pk. A first set of data can be modulated onto the chirp by selecting cyclic frequency offsets from a plurality of predetermined cyclic frequency offsets based on the data to be transmitted. A second set of data can be modulated onto the chirp by selecting phase offsets for the chirp signal, Î¸k, from a plurality of predetermined phase offsets depending on the data to be transmitted. In a preferred embodiment this frequency modulation step involves Gray encoded QPSK. This phase offset information is not contained in the instantaneous frequency of the chirp. Preferably, a third set of data can be encoded onto the chirp using the gradient of the instantaneous frequency, controlled by gk. The chirp signal is preferably modelled by a Zadoff-Chu sequence. There are also claims to decoding such signals, preferably using correlation methods.
