Title: Dispensing mechanism for a medical device
Inventor: CAMMISH NEIL
IPC: A61M5/315
Filed: 2013-03-14
Abstract: A dispensing mechanism 1, such as for administering a dosage of a medicament from a liquid injector or a powder inhaler, includes a push button or rotary dial dosage setter 7 for setting the dosage of a medicament to be administered and moveable in a first direction for setting the dose and in a second direction for administering the dose. An indicator 34 is arranged to be displaced by a predetermined movement of the dosage setter 7 and a motion converter is configured, during displacement of the indicator 34, to convert a movement of the dosage setter 7 of a first magnitude into a movement of the indicator 34 of a second, different, magnitude which is less than the movement of the dosage setter 7. Two spaced indents 35a,35b on the indicator and a protrusion 36 on a window 31 combine with body protrusions 33a,33b the spacing of which provide lost motion between the push button 7 and indicator 34.

Title: Communications device and method
Inventor: RICHARDS DEREK JOHN
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2013-04-22
Abstract: A communications device establishes a communications context for communicating data packets using a packet communications bearer via a mobile communications network. A controller of the communications device is configured to identify that the communications device can enter a stasis, or sleep, state 250 because no data packets are available for transmission for a predetermined time via the packet communications bearer or there are no data packets to receive via the packet communications bearer. The communications device transmits a stasis state message to the mobile communications network, stores information relating to the communications context associated with the packet communications hearer in a data store and enters the stasis state 250. The stored information can be used by the controller to reÂ­-establish the packet communications bearer to communicate data packets using the packet communications bearer. The stored information may comprise one or more sequence numbers associated with one or more protocols of a protocol stack.

Title: Method of controlling aerodynamic devices in an automotive system during sailing driving
Inventor: KURSCHEWSKI PAUL
IPC: B62D37/02
Filed: 2013-10-14
Abstract: A method is provided for controlling aerodynamic devices, for example an aero shutter or a downforce wing, of an automotive system 100 in a vehicle during sailing driving where an engine 110 of system 100 is stopped allowing the vehicle to coast. During sailing driving, the aerodynamic devices are closed or adjusted, reducing aerodynamic drag, and basic control of the aerodynamic devices is re-established when a time period, which may depend on vehicle speed, expires, sailing driving ceases, for example due to operation of a clutch pedal or an accelerator pedal, or a coolant temperature reaches a predetermined threshold. Advantageously, aerodynamic devices may be closed or adjusted when the vehicle speed exceeds a threshold, for example 4 km/h, and the engine speed is lower than a threshold, for example 100 rpm. Closing or adjusting aerodynamic devices may allow the vehicle to coast for a longer distance, improving fuel economy.

Abstract: An electrical surgical instrument has RF electrodes and a gas conduit so that a plasma can be formed at a distal tip where a retractable surgical snare 338 is arranged such that the thermal plasma may be directed to biological tissue encircled by the snare. The RF is delivered to the tip electrodes via a coaxial cable 302 in the body of the instrument. The RF may include microwave frequencies and the probe may be fed from separate RF and microwave sources (204 206 figure 2). The snare may be cold snare (fig 3) and formed from an electrically insulating material. The snare alternatively may be electrically active (fig 4) and connected to receive RF energy to be radiated into the area encircled by the snare. The instrument can be used in different modes and configurations (see figures 3 and 4) : (i) a plasma to perform surface coagulation, (ii) a non-ionising microwave field (in the absence of plasma) to perform coagulation at a deeper level, and (iii) an RF field to assist with cutting.

Title: Decision feedback solution for channels with low signal to noise ratio
Inventor: TONG FEI
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2014-07-03
Abstract: This invention is related to a low-complexity MIMO detector in a wireless communication system with near optimal performance. Initial symbol estimation is performed for a transmitted symbol vector. The soft information of the transmitted symbol vector can be more accurately calculated by deemphasizing the LLRs associated with symbols belonging to weak channels that may suffer from poor initial estimation. By combining aspects of both the linear detection and the ML detection, the complexity of the proposed detector becomes orders of magnitude lower than that of a ML detector, but the performance is very close to that of an ML detector.

Title: Preventing cascade failures in computer systems
Inventor: FRIEDLANDER ROBERT
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2013-05-07
Abstract: A computer hardware-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product prevents a cascading failure in a complex stream computer system causing an untrustworthy output from the complex stream computer system. Multiple upstream subcomponents in a complex stream computer system generate multiple outputs, which are used as inputs to a downstream subcomponent. An accuracy value is assigned to each of the multiple outputs from the upstream subcomponents, and weighting values are assigned to each of the inputs to the downstream subcomponent. The accuracy values and weighting values are utilized to dynamically adjust inputs to the downstream subcomponent until an output from the downstream subcomponent meets a predefined trustworthiness level.
