Title: Receiver for Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) wireless transmission
Inventor: GAFFNEY BRIAN MARTIN
IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 2009-07-24
Abstract: A receiver for a single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) wireless transmission scheme comprises:a. A frequency domain equalizer such as a Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalizer 52 that introduces inter-symbol interference into the received signal;b. A transformation device 56 for transforming the equalized signal from the equalizer to the time domain; andc. A plurality of decision feedback equalizers 59 comparing a feedforward filter to whiten noise in the signal, a decision device to determine output symbols from the output of the feedforward filter, and a feedback filter to receive previous symbol estimates from the decision device and to subtract them from the output of the feedforward filter to reduce inter-symbol interference; andd. A combiner 70 for combining the outputs of the decision feedback equalizers. Different decision feedback equalizers receive signals from the transformation device in different temporal orders and/or with different time delays in order to reduce error propagation from the decision feedback equalizers in the output of the receiver. The filter coefficients of the feedforward and feedback filters, which each have filter coefficients forming an upper triangular matrix, are calculated by means of a Cholesky factorization calculator 74 which may be very computationally intensive. The number of multiplications required per iteration can be reduced from millions to tens of thousands by a fast Cholesky factorization (FCF) algorithm, and reduced further to the order of hundreds by extracting redundant calculations.

Title: Progammable two table indexed finite state machine
Inventor: SCHLIPF THOMAS
IPC: G05B19/045
Filed: 2009-08-03
Abstract: A system stores an input compare vector in an input compare vector table. The system also stores an output vector, a next state value and a next state start address in an output vector, next state, next state address table. Each comparator compares each input compare vector from the input compare vector table and an external input vector, and outputs a selection signal to a multiplexer. The multiplexer associates the selection signals with an offset value, and provides the offset value to adder logic. The adder logic adds the offset value and an address from a current state start address register. A result of the addition is used as an address to access a row in the output vector, next state, next state address table. The accessed row has an output vector, a next state value and a next state start address corresponding to a current state and the external input vector.

Title: Improvements in or relating to recovery of thorium
Inventor: AUDSLEY ARNOLD
IPC: C01F15/00
Filed: 1956-03-29
Abstract: Thorium phosphate is obtained from aqueous sulphuric acid solutions containing thorium, rare earth elements and phosphate by adding ammonia to increase the pH to not more than 0.6, separating the double rare earth-ammonium sulphate which slowly precipitates and then further reducing the acidity of the solution (e.g. by the continued introduction of ammonia to a pH of 1.8).  The initial solution may be obtained by heating monozite with concentrated sulphuric acid, diluting the cooled product with water and separating the solution from the insoluble residue.  The Provisional Specification refers to the use of agents, e.g. hexamethylene tetramine and acetaldehyde ammonia, which slowly release ammonia by hydrolysis to increase the pH of monazite leach liquors, but their use is not satisfactory in the process of the invention.

Abstract: 578,311. Jet propulsion. GRIFFITH, A. A. June 22, 1943, No. 10066. [Class 114] In aircraft propelled by two or more jet engines, equality of thrust is secured by automatic control of the fuel supply of any engine, the jet pressure of which differs from a reference pressure. The reference pressure may be that of a master jet engine. In the form shown, pitot tubes 14 measure the pressure in each of two jet engines 10, 11, and the pressure is conducted to devices 16 with diaphragms 18, the upper sides of which are subject to the reference pressure. Movement of a diaphragm controls the fuel supply of its associated engine. The two engines are also fitted with temperaturesensitive devices, which through a connection 22 reduce the reference pressure and thus the fuel supply to each engine. The reference pressure may also be manually controlled.
