Patent GB-2403284-A (GB)
Title: Improved apparatus for waste gasification
Inventor: POPE MICHAEL G
IPC: F23J15/02
Filed: 2003-05-16
Abstract: A gasification system that includes a gasification reactor chamber (101) having perforated conduits or an inner lining that increases the exposed surface area of waste materials to gasification conditions, thereby decreasing gasification temperature, time, and cooling period between subsequent gasification procedures. After an aspirator withdraws and oxidizes fuel gas from the reactor chamber, a flare assembly (229b) combusts the mixed fuel gas to provide power or heat to at least one heat recovery device (111). The at least one heat recovery device recaptures thermal energy entrained in the exhaust, thereby reducing exhaust temperature and eliminating the need for an exhaust stack. An absorber purifies the exhaust and an extractor (117) removes carbon dioxide. A portion of the removed carbon dioxide may be used for industrial purposes or for supporting vegetation. At least a portion of the remaining exhaust is returned to the reactor chamber as recycled process gas, thereby completing a closed-loop process.

Title: Examining data patterns according to rules stored in content addressable memories
Inventor: O'KEEFFE DANIEL MARTIN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: A content addressable memory (CAM) stores entries each comprising a rule and as part of the entry a mask identifying all the entities to which the rule is applicable. A search pattern of data and a bit mask identifying the actual entity (or entities) associated with the data is applied as a search word along with a comparison mask that excludes all the other entities from the comparison of the search word with the entry. The CAM can thereby store efficiently in a single entry a rule that may be applicable to some but not all of a multiplicity of entities such as possible ingress ports of a network unit. The rules are used in examining data patterns, such as portions of data packets. A particular application is to access control lists in network units.

Title: Soft Handover in a Cellular Communications System
Inventor: CRUZ FERNANDO DE LA
IPC: H04W36/18
Filed: 2006-02-08
Abstract: A handover apparatus (200) comprises functionality for adding a soft handover connection to an active set of a remote station (101) served by at least a first base station (105) in a cellular communication system. A soft handover processor (203) determines that the soft handover connection should be added to the active set. In response a resource processor (207) sets up resources in support of a communication link between a base station supporting the soft handover connection and the remote station (101). In parallel, an instructing processor (209) transmits a handover addition message to the remote station (101) instructing the remote station (101) to include the communication link in the active set. The instructing processor (209) is arranged to transmit the handover addition message before the setting up of resources by the resource processor (207) is completed. The invention is particularly suitable for a UMTS communication system and may provide reduced delay and improved soft handover performance.

Title: Methods of link processing using lasers
Inventor: SUN YUNLONG
IPC: B23K26/38
Filed: 2004-08-18
Abstract: A laser pulse with a specially tailored temporal power profile, instead of a conventional temporal shape or substantially square shape severs an IC link. The specially tailored laser pulse preferably has either an overshoot at the beginning of the laser pulse or a spike peak within the duration of the laser pulse. The timing of the spike peak is preferably set ahead of the time when the link is mostly removed. A specially tailored laser pulse power profile allows the use of a wider laser pulse energy range and shorter laser wavelengths, such as the green and UV, to sever the links without appreciable damage to the substrate and passivation structure material located on either side of and underlying the links.

Title: OFDM frequency domain channel estimator using peaks of time interpolated pilot estimate and symbol feedback to determine relative time corrections
Inventor: LAI KUO-LI
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2007-09-13
Abstract: Pilots in a fast Fourier transformed <B>201</B> signal FS are used to generate channel frequency response CFR point. These are time interpolated <B>101</B>. The resulting CFR is IFFTd into the time domain and peaks of the channel impulse response are detected <B>102</B>. These peaks PI are combined <B>105</B> with mapping transmission parameters derived from the estimated channel EC and fed back frequency domain symbols FS/RFS/CS to determine optimised relative time shifting to be performed on both the time interpolated CFR <B>103</B> and the received signal <B>202</B>. The time shifted CFR is then interpolated in frequency 104 to produce the overall channel estimate, which is used to correct the received signal <B>203</B> and in signal processing <B>204</B>. The time shifting unit also determines the FFT window position SP. The channel estimate allows for delay spreads.

Title: Securely updating firmware in devices by using a hypervisor
Inventor: CROMER DARYL CARVIS
IPC: G06F21/12
Filed: 2007-12-06
Abstract: A computer system 100 executing a hypervisor 110 and guest operating systems 120, 130 receives and processes a firmware update 140 corresponding to a hardware device, such as drive controller 180 or video adapter 190, accessible by the computer system. The hypervisor processes the received firmware update by first inhibiting use of the device by each of the guest operating systems and then upgrading the firmware in the device using the received firmware update. After the firmware has been upgraded, the guest operating systems are allowed use of the device. Prior to upgrading the firmware, the firmware update may be validated by receiving a password from a user, verifying that the firmware update has been digitally signed by an authorized user, or comparing a hash value with an expected hash value. Inhibiting use of the device may involve unmounting the device from the guest operating systems, suspending guest operating systems, or buffering requests for the device received from the guest operating systems.

Title: Food grade antioxidant and flavorant from roasted wheat malt
Inventor: PIKE PAUL R
IPC: A23L27/10
Filed: 2006-08-17
Abstract: A food grade antioxidant and a baked food flavorant is isolated from roasted wheat malt containing bran. The germinated wheat is roasted until the malt's naturally occurring enzymes are substantially destroyed. The roasted wheat malt is milled into fine particles that may be physically separated into a fraction that is primarily homogeneous bran particles and into a fraction that is primarily heterogeneous endosperm and germ particles. The bran fraction is useful as a food flavorant and the endosperm and germ fraction may be used directly as an antioxidant for oils and fats, or foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics containing oils and/or fats or the antioxidant may be chemically extracted. The milled homogeneous bran and heterogeneous endosperm and germ particles may be recombined in customized proportions and thus used as a dually functional food ingredient.

Title: Controlling the trajectory of a drill string
Inventor: PIROVOLOU DIMITRIOS K
IPC: E21B44/00
Filed: 2008-04-29
Abstract: A steering behaviour model includes build rate and turn rate equations to model bottom-hole assembly behaviour. The build and turn rate equations are calibrated by adjusting model parameters thereof to minimize any variance between actual response 118 and estimated response produced for an interval of the well. Estimated position and orientation 104 of a bottom-hole assembly along a subsequent interval are generated by inputting subsequent tool settings into the calibrated steering behaviour model. Estimated position and orientation 104 are compared to a well plan 106 with a controller 108 which determines a corrective action 110. Corrective action 110 can be converted from a build and turn rate to a set of recommended tool settings 114 by using an inverse application 112 of the steering behaviour model. As additional data 118 becomes available, steering behaviour model can be further calibrated 102 through iteration.
