Title: Variable reluctance sensor with reduced sensitivity to vibrations
Inventor: BODIN ROBERT MICHAEL GEORGE
IPC: G01D3/036
Filed: 2010-06-22
Abstract: A variable reluctance sensor for sensing the speed or torque of a shaft in a gear box or gas turbine engine comprises a magnetic pole piece 70 with a conductive wire 71 wrapped around it; and a housing 73 surrounding the pole piece such that its front face 73b â   through which the pole piece extends - is substantially less rigid (e.g. thinner) than its side wall 73a. This flexible front face reduces the stress exerted on the pole piece under external vibration, hence reducing noise (e.g. microphony) in the sensor output. The pole piece may further be rigidly fixed (e.g. welded, screwed or clamped) to the side wall such that vibration-induced strain in the pole is transferred 75 to the housing wall rather than along the shaft of the pole piece 70b. The pole piece may be magnetised by a permanent magnet 72 or primary circuit (80, Fig. 8).

Title: Memory Controller for Heterogeneous Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMM)
Inventor: VERGIS GEORGE
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 2011-03-31
Abstract: A memory controller 101 with logic 103 for interfacing a processor with a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) 102. The logic determines the identity of a DIMM connected 104 to the controller which may involve reading the serial presence detect (SPD) 106 within the DIMM. The logic then maps control signals according to the identity of the DIMM using a multiplexer. The DIMM may be either a data mask (DM) DIMM or an error correction code (ECC) DIMM. The multiplexer may assign a DM bit to each memory of the DIMM or assign a subset of data lanes for ECC depending on the identity of the DIMM. The apparatus may train input-output (I/O) transceivers (206, fig 2) by centring a data strobe signal relative to data signals and adjusting eye width and height for each signal by varying the drive strength.

Inventor: CARLSSON PONTUS
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2011-10-14
Abstract: A plurality of video signal frames are captured using a camera (102 in fig. 1), and the video signal is transmitted as an encoded bit stream (109). Displacement of the camera between successive frames is determined from a motion indication (e.g. motion vectors or samples from a motion sensor associated with the camera) in the bit stream. The determined displacement (203) is used to compensate for motion in the video signal between successive frames caused by camera motion, thereby stabilising the video signal. Using the determined displacement to compensate for motion can comprise filtering (205) the displacement between two frames and shifting (207) the image of at least one of the frames in accordance with the filtered displacement. Shifting of the image can comprise adjusting a pointer and width value without adjusting the stride value indicating memory space of the image.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Communicating Neighbor Cell Information
Inventor: MARTIN BRIAN ALEXANDER
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2012-05-10
Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer readable medium are provided for supplying information regarding a neighbor cell following cell reselection in a manner that reduces the signaling load on the network and conserves battery consumption by a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives system information of a current cell following reselection from a prior cell, the information comprising a neighbor cell list of the current cell. If the neighbor cell list does not include the prior cell information then the mobile terminal sends an indication to the base station that prior cell information is available. The indication is sent separately from and prior to the prior cell information. The base station then receives the prior cell information and updates its neighbor cell list. If the prior cell information is already included in the neighbor list no action is taken. In one embodiment useful in inter-RAT cell reselection the base station maintains a black list of cells that are not to be used for cell reselection. If the prior cell is on the blacklist, the mobile terminal doers not waste resources in notifying the current cell of the prior cell.

Title: Increasing the time before a voice or video call is dropped in weak signal areas
Inventor: SINGH MANMOHAN
IPC: H04L1/16
Filed: 2012-07-12
Abstract: An apparatus is described which can increase the time before a call is dropped in weak signal areas. The apparatus comprises a processor which is configured to determine whether voice and/or video data is in the process of transmission and/or reception; and select the last transmitted Packet Data Unit for polling transmission in response to a polling event if it is determined that that voice and/or video data is in the process of transmission and/or reception. When applied to UMTS and. E-UTRA protocols, the last transmitted packet data unit has a sequence number equal to VT(S)-1. It has been found that voice and/or video calls may be dropped in weak signal areas because of a reset triggered for the Acknowledged Mode bearer within the Radio Link Control (RLC). The reset occurs because the same Packet Data Unit was selected for a polling transmission several times and triggered the reset by reaching its maximum transmission count. By selecting the last transmitted packet data unit, the packet data unit selected for polling transmission will change over time, increasing the time before a single packet data unit reaches its maximum transmission count. Although voice and video calls typically do not use A M, AM is used on the control and signalling channel and this has been found to be the cause of the reset.

Title: Controlling the fuel supply system of a vehicle engine during shutdown and start-up
Inventor: LANE STUART
IPC: F02N11/08
Filed: 2012-12-12
Abstract: An engine-driven variable output high pressure fuel pump (130, figs.2-6) is operated at a high demand level to charge a high pressure fuel accumulator (140, figs. 3-6, 11a, 11b) with fuel during a shutdown of the engine and, during a subsequent start-up of the engine, use fuel from the accumulator while operating the high pressure fuel pump at a low demand level. This reduces the fuel consumption of the engine by using kinetic energy from the slowing engine to drive the high pressure fuel pump and increases the deceleration of the engine. Start-up of the engine is quicker because it is not necessary to wait for fuel pressure to build before beginning the injection of fuel into the engine and because the high pressure fuel pump is operating at low demand the engine will accelerate faster than if the high pressure fuel pump is required to pump fuel to the engine. The fuel accumulator (140) may comprise a sealed bellows (144, figs.11a, 11b) supported by a piston (143) which is biased by a spring (146).
