Title: Radio resource managament method and central controller in mobile radio communication system
Inventor: LI ZHENG
IPC: H04W16/12
Filed: 2006-09-05
Abstract: A method of managing radio resources in a mobile radio communication system in which, in the course of management of radio resources between cells on the basis of a currently proposed hierarchical radio resource management method, radio resources in the system are divided into two groups by a central controller, static allocation of one group within these two groups of radio resources is effected among plural cells, and dynamic allocation of the other group within the two groups of radio resources is effected among plural cells in accordance with the various cell loads. The invention also provides a suitable central controller, and thereby makes it possible to give consideration both to the effectiveness of radio resource allocation and to the complexity of implementation when the central controller allocates radio resources among plural cells.

Title: A nozzle for a fuel injector
Inventor: WILBRAHAM NIGEL
IPC: F23D11/10
Filed: 2006-11-02
Abstract: A nozzle for a fuel injector, in particular for a gas-turbine engine, comprises a planar conductive electrode 104 with a sharp edge forming an aperture; a first 102 and second 106 insulation disposed on respective sides of the electrode 104, and a swirler arrangement 112 (120, fig 5 and 150 figs 8a - 8c) for creating a swirling action in liquid fuel introduced into the nozzle. The axis of swirl is generally perpendicular to the plane of the electrode 104. In use the fuel passes through the aperture of the electrode 104, which charges the swirling fuel, so that the nozzle supplies charged droplets of atomised fuel from an outlet orifice 114. The swirler arrangement may be a radial or axial swirler arrangement. First 102 and second 106 insulation layers may have respective first 100 and second 108 planar members mounted on them made from metal. Electrode 104 may be made from hard heat resistant material such as high speed tool steel and may not protrude past the first 102 insulation layer to avoid turbulence being created.

Title: Dynamic on-die termination for memory devices using different byte lane lengths
Inventor: FAHMY HANY M
IPC: G06F13/40
Filed: 2008-01-31
Abstract: An integrated circuit comprises logic to program at least one on-die termination (ODT) value for each of a plurality of integrated circuits, such as DRAM memory devices, coupled together through an interconnect wherein the ODT value is the amount of termination resistance. An identifier, corresponding to a range of byte lane (i.e. a portion of a memory channel specified by a number of bits) lengths, can be used to determine what the correct ODT value for a particular DRAM memory device should be. This could be achieved by using a lookup table. To program the ODT value, a command is issued to enter a non-operating state, a DRAM identifier is sent during the first write cycle, and a corresponding ODT value is sent during the second write cycle. Also disclosed is a method for putting a device into a non-operating mode by receiving a memory device identifier in a first write cycle, comparing with a stored value and, if it matches, entering a non-operating mode.

Title: Method of ion mobility separation and determining multiple molecular conformations
Inventor: BATEMAN ROBERT HAROLD
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2008-09-12
Abstract: A method of ion mobility separation is disclosed wherein ions having multiple molecular conformations may be recognised. Ions are separated temporally by an ion mobility spectrometer. The arrival time distributions of ions which are temporally separated by the ion mobility spectrometer are analysed. Ion peaks having particular ion arrival time profiles may be flagged as possibly relating to two different unresolved ion species having essentially the same mass to charge ratio but different molecular conformations. The experiment is then re-run and ions of interest are again subjected to separation in an ion mobility spectrometer. Ions which emerge from the ion mobility spectrometer are fragmented in a downstream collision cell and the arrival time profiles of the resulting fragment ions are then analysed. If two or more substantially different arrival time distributions are observed for the fragment ions then the parent ions of interest are considered as comprising ions having two different molecular conformations.

Title: Methods and apparatus for determining the time of receipt of a received signal
Inventor: RUDD WAYNE
IPC: G01F1/66
Filed: 2009-07-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus provides an accurate determination of time of flight of a signal and/or the distance travelled by that signal. The measurement device may be configured as an oil or gas flow meter, for example. The method for determining the time of receipt of received signal comprises using a phase characteristic associated with a received phase angle at which a received signal is initially sampled together with the frequency of the received signal to determine a receive time error, the receive time error representative of the time taken for the received signal to travel between a reference phase angle and the received phase angle so as to provide for determining the time of receipt of the received signal. The time of receipt of signal 100 can be determined by sampling the received signal 100 at point B. The time between successive samples is determined by the sampling frequency. The phase characteristic associated with the received signal may be the difference between the reference phase angle and the received phase angle.

Title: Differential scanning calorimeter

IPC: G01N25/02
Filed: 1965-03-10
Abstract: 1,074,366. Thermal analysis apparatus. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Feb .17, 1966 [March 10, 1965], No. 10212/65. Heading G1N. A sample and a reference in a differential scanning calorimeter are heated differentially by means of focused radiation to maintain their temperatures equal. The sample and reference mounted in metal blocks 10, 11 are heated equally by means of a projection lamp (23) Figs. 1 and 2 (not shown) and the average temperature of the blocks is increased by increasing the current supplied to the lamp. A second projection lamp (35) is pivotally mounted on the opposite side of the blocks and is initially placed so that it heats both blocks equally. If the temperature of the sample or reference changes the temperature difference is sensed by a pair of thermocouples consisting of constantan wire 19 and copper wires 12, 13. The differential output is applied to a recording potentiometer 46, through a magnetic amplifier 45, the needle being connected to lamp (35) to rotate it and so maintain the temperatures equal. The average temperature of the blocks is indicated by the voltage between wires 38, 40 and is compared with a reference voltage at 39, the difference being used to control the current through main lamp (23). The reference voltage is varied to vary the heating. A rotatable stop (29) is placed between lamp (23) and the sample and reference for additional control of the heating. A modification is referred to in which the average temperature is measured by means of a separate thermojunction beneath blocks 10, 11. The blocks are covered by a glass dome (47) lined with copper foil and having two windows to admit the heating radiation. Instead of rotating the lamp (35) it is stated that the radiation therefrom may be differentially blocked. The power supplied to the sample or reference to keep the temperatures equal is indicative of the heat changes in the sample. The device is calibrated by means of a sample having a known transition energy or by placing a resistance in hole 22 in one block and passing a measured electrical pulse through it.
