Title: A deadlocking bolt mechanism
Inventor: SCATES DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: E05B15/10
Filed: 2010-09-30
Abstract: A bolt mechanism, especially for electromagnetically operated bolts, comprises a tubular channel 20, 30, 32, in which a bolt 14, 34 is slideably located. A bolt tip 40 that is axially displaceable by the bolt is attached to the bolt by a linking rod 35 which allows restricted axial play. The opposed end faces of the bolt and of the bolt tip define a gap that widens in the radial direction and in which balls 50 are located. The wall of the tubular channel defines a groove 52 at the axial position corresponding to that of the balls when the bolt tip is in a predetermined position. The mechanism functions as a deadlock since attempts to push the bolt tip away from the locked position urges the balls into the groove. Preferably the bolt is spring loaded into the locked position and opened electromechanically.

Title: Washing machine with built-in evaporator and condenser unit
Inventor: WARD JOHN
IPC: A01M17/00
Filed: 2010-10-19
Abstract: The washing machine 1 includes an insulated 5 drum which can freeze the contents such as bed linen and maintain a temperature of -18 to -24 degrees for a predetermined time period. A hot gas defrost is then used to thaw the contents of the drum followed by a washing and drying cycle. An evaporator coil 7 may be placed between an inner 8 and outer 6 drum. After washing and spin drying a two stage forced air motor has a first stage slow speed in which hot air is blown through the inner drum with a contra rotating movement to hot air dry the contents. Once established that the contents are dry, heat is removed and a second stage high speed motor blows air through the contents to remove any debris left from the wash cycle. At the same time water is injected between the inner and outer drum to collect the debris or particulates and wash them into the waste.

Title: A transceiver which adapts the sampling rate of a receiver ADC to avoid interference between a wanted signal and an aliased transmit leakage component
Inventor: NENTWIG MARKUS
IPC: H04B1/00
Filed: 2011-09-16
Abstract: The present invention mitigates effects of alias responses in a transceiver by selecting a sampling rate 216â   of an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) to place an alias response 214â   of an unwanted signal component 210 to a frequency range which is substantially non-overlapping with a wanted signal component 200 of the receiver. The unwanted signal component may be introduced by transmit leakage. Crucially, the selection of the sampling rate takes into account the maximum sampling rate of the ADC (step 408, Fig. 4). The maximum sampling rate is determined by the transceiver, for example by measuring temperature and indexing a look-up table or by sampling a known signal at a range of different sampling rates and identifying the sampling rate at which a deterioration in signal quality is observed. In the application the term    conversion rate    is used in place of    sampling rate   .

Title: Method and system for cryptographic processing core
Inventor: PARKER DARREN
IPC: G06F21/60
Filed: 2011-04-18
Abstract: Methods and systems provide flexibility to add new cryptographic protocols, while providing increased performance when compared to software cryptographic core architectures. They do so by loading new firmware or software into a microcontroller that interacts with various components of the architecture to program behavior of the components. Such systems provide a savings compared to the hardware cryptographic core architecture design due to the elimination of new chip re-fabrication requirements and a reduction in time-to-market. The systems also provide improved speed and throughput when compared to the software cryptographic core architecture. The firmware may be reprogrammed upon an enhancement or change to a protocol while still realizing the performance benefits. To this end, methods and systems may combine a microcontroller programmable by firmware, and flexible aligner, insertion and removal controllers that process and manage an incoming data stream.

Title: Signalling eNodeB communication parameters/capabilities using particular pilot reference signal parameters (eg. sequences)
Inventor: WEBB MATTHEW
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2012-12-21
Abstract: During a typical network discovery and attachment procedure in an LTE (Long Term Evolution) network, a UE will determine the ID number of a basestation (iv). From this ID number some patterns/sequences of reference symbols may be derived (eg. Cell RS (CRS) or Channel State Information RS (CSI-RS)). The reference symbols are used for channel estimation and so forth (v).The invention proposes assigning some RS sequences to correspond to communication parameters other than the cell ID number. The UE may detect these assigned sequences and determine the communication parameter without needing to complete some of the cell attach procedures (vi-x) (eg. decode PBCH, decode PCFICH, etc.).In an example, the RS may indicate whether virtual carriers suitable for machine type communication (MTC) are supported by the basestation. Thus, a UE may abandon attachment to an eNodeB which doesnt support virtual carriers without wasting energy on later attach procedures.The assigned RSs may be selected from the sequence space normally generated from the cell ID numbers.
