Abstract: The spiral sheet antenna (10) allows a small efficient antenna structure that is much smaller than the electromagnetic wavelength. It achieves the small size by introducing a high effective dielectric constant through geometry rather than through a special high dielectric constant material. It typically includes a rectangular cylinder-like shape, with a seam. The edges of the seam can overlap to make a high capacitance, or they can make a high capacitance by simply having the edges of the seam very close to each other. The highcapacitance serves the same role as a high dielectric constant material in a conventional compact antenna.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for correcting an IQ-imbalance (In-phase and Quadrature) of an IQ-based direct conversion receiver ( 200 ). In the method a group of radio frequency pilot signals are received in the direct conversion receiver ( 200 ). They are conveyed to an in-phase branch and a quadrature-phase branch of the receiver ( 200 ) and mixed, in the analogue domain, to form a baseband in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) signal components. The signal componets are conveyed to a digital demodulator ( 210 ) which detects the IQ-phase imbalance of the direct conversion receiver ( 200 ) by analysing at least one of the baseband in-phase (I) and the quadrature-phase (Q) signal components. In the method, the detected IQ-imbalance is corrected, in the analogue domain of the direct conversion receiver ( 200 ), to achieve a 90 degrees phase difference between a future baseband in-phase (I) signal component and a future baseband quadrature-phase (Q) signal component.

Abstract: The steel drill string attached to a drilling bit during typical rotary drilling operations used to drill oil and gas wells is used for a second purpose as the casing that is cemented in place during typical oil and gas well completions. Methods of operation are described that provide for the efficient installation a cemented steel cased well wherein the drill string and the drill bit are cemented into place during one single drilling pass down into the earth. The normal mud passages or watercourses present in the rotary drill bit are used for the second independent purpose of passing cement into the annulus between the casing and the well while cementing the drill string into place during one single pass into the earth. A one-way cement valve is installed near the drill bit of the drill string that allows the cement to set up efficiently under ambiently hydrostatic conditions while the drill string and drill bit are cemented into place during one single drilling pass into the earth.

Abstract: A method of estimating the concentration of residual exhaust gas in an internal combustion engine having variable cam phase control is based on engine dynamometer and engine simulator data. Since both the volumetric efficiency and the residual exhaust gas concentration of an engine vary monotonically in response to changes in cam phase, the simulated residual concentration data is deemed to be reliable if the simulated volumetric efficiency data matches volumetric efficiency data determined by engine dynamometer testing. Volumetric efficiency test data is compared to simulated volumetric efficiency data, and the simulation software is tuned until the simulated data matches the test data. At such point, the simulated residual concentration data is deemed to be reliable, and is used to calibrate a model relating residual concentration to cam phase angle, and such model is then used by an engine controller to estimate residual exhaust gas concentration during operation of the engine.

Abstract: Apparatus, method, logic arrangement and storage medium are provided for increasing the sensitivity in the detection of optical coherence tomography and low coherence interferometry ("LCI") signals by detecting a parallel set of spectral bands, each band being a unique combination of optical frequencies. The LCI broad bandwidth source can be split into N spectral bands. The N spectral bands can be individually detected and processed to provide an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of N. Each spectral band may be detected by a separate photo detector and amplified. For each spectral band, the signal can be band pass filtered around the signal band by analog electronics and digitized, or, alternatively, the signal may be digitized and band pass filtered in software. As a consequence, the shot noise contribution to the signal is likely reduced by a factor equal to the number of spectral bands, while the signal amplitude can remain the same. The reduction of the shot noise increases the dynamic range and sensitivity of the system.
