Title: Fluid saving device
Inventor: DAMMEGARD OLE
IPC: F16K11/10
Filed: 2012-04-03
Abstract: A fluid flow control device comprises a fluid inlet 5 connected to the outlet of a mixer valve or to a heated fluid supply line valve capable of selectively delivering a pressurized heated fluid supply. A fluid outlet 7 is connected to a fluid dispenser and a through pipe 9 connects the fluid inlet 5 and outlet 7 via a valve system 17. A reservoir 11 contains a fluid level device 19. The valve system 17 in use prevents the flow of fluid from the through pipe 9 through the fluid outlet 7, so that fluid entering through the fluid inlet 5 flows into the reservoir 11 via a reservoir inlet 13 in the through pipe 9, until the fluid in the reservoir 11 reaches a predetermined level, whereupon the fluid level device 19 operates the valve system 17 to allow the flow of fluid through the fluid outlet 7.

Title: Reference clock calibration
Inventor: HEINRICH GREGORY
IPC: G01S19/23
Filed: 2012-08-09
Abstract: A mobile device may contain one or more transceivers to operate in one or more networks (for example, cellular network, GPS, Bluetooth, WI-Fi). Each of these transceivers may have a separate clock which will require synchronization. Instead of each transceiver synchronizing its own clock individually, it may be beneficial for a first transceiver to calibrate over a network (a cellular network, for example). The other transceivers may then send a request signal to the first transceiver. In response, the first transceiver transitions from a first mode to a second mode and provides to the second transceiver a response signal for calibrating the second clock relative to the first clock. In the first mode the first transceiver performs zero or more calibrations of the first clock relative to the wireless network, and in the second mode the first transceiver performs at least one additional calibration of the first clock.

Patent GB-2498423-A (GB)
Title: Multi-mode satellite navigation receiver
Inventor: HANG DAMING
IPC: G01S19/42
Filed: 2012-11-13
Abstract: A conventional GPS satellite navigation receiver is adapted to support multiple types of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), e.g. additionally GLONASS, Beidou (Compass, BD2, Big Dipper). A legacy GNSS receiver can therefore support a plurality of GNSS types by software upgrade and with a new/modified radio frequency (RF) chip. There is no need to completely redesign a navigation host chip to support the multiple GNSS types. A GNSS baseband controller controls synchronization of measurement time for digitized data along a first signal processing path for a legacy GNSS signal and a second signal processing path for a non-legacy GNSS signal, for instance by making allowance for the time difference between the two signals or selecting stored signals that relate to the same time (or the nearest that one can get) by means of suitable pointers, or by having a common oscillator clock for the ADC and for analogue processing. Combined data may be packetized or data for each system may be incorporated into separate packets. Separate channels may be provided for each satellite system including FIFO and soft correlators.

Title: Content distribution
Inventor: MEIER PAUL
IPC: H04M3/487
Filed: 2013-05-02
Abstract: The distribution of content items (such as news items), in a news publishing platform isgoverned by a plurality of interrelated factors.

Title: An AC to AC converter and a control system therefor
Inventor: LOGAN THOMAS GEORGE
IPC: H02M5/293
Filed: 2014-08-04
Abstract: An AC-to-AC converter 10 has a half-bridge circuit 20 with first 22 and second 24 arms. Each arm has a pair of switches 26a, 26b, 28a, 28b. The converter has a control system 30 that includes a zero crossing detector 52, and/or a phase estimator 54. The zero-crossing detector is arranged to determine when an input AC voltage approaches zero volts. When the input AC voltage approaches zero volts the drive signal generator produces drive signals to turn off both switches in one of the first or second arms and to turn on both switches in the other of the first or second arms. The phase estimator estimates a phase of an input AC voltage, and a drive signal generator producing drive signals for each switch in the first and second arms according to a duty cycle ratio. In an embodiment, when an excess current condition is detected the drive signal generator reduces the duty cycle ratio. The converter may be used for regulating the mains voltage supplied to a residential property.
