IPC: E21B33/038
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: A method for attaching a first component (10) which comprises a depending portion (12) to a second component (82) which comprises a bore (84) that is sized and configured to receive the depending portion, wherein the first and second components are exposed to a fluid which is at an ambient pressure, comprises the steps of inserting the depending portion at least partially into the bore and then creating a bore pressure within the bore which is less than the ambient pressure. In this manner a pressure difference between the ambient pressure and the bore pressure will force the depending portion into the bore to thereby attach the first component to the second component.

IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 2006-05-18
Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly (10) having a lower seat assembly (12) with a lower sitting surface (26) and a seatback (14) with a seatback sitting surface (28). At least one of the lower seat assembly (12) and the seatback (14) is adapted for movement. The seat assembly (10) also includes at least one bolster (30a,30b) adapted for movement to thereby change curvature of at least one of the lower sitting surface (26) and the seatback sitting surface (28). The bolster (30a,30b) automatically moves due to movement of at least one of the lower seat assembly (12) and the seatback (14), said movement being the folding of the backrest toward or away from the seat squab. A cam means (284 Fig 6) may be provided to bias said bolster. The bolsters may also be activated by a cable means (Fig 4) and may be spring biased (Fig 3). Pivoting the seat back forward causes the bolsters to fold flat and may also result in the whole seat assembly pivoting forward on linkages (48) and about pivots (44) into a fold flat position (Fig 2).

Title: DCM OFDM Signal Decoding Systems
Inventor: LEACH MARTIN GEOFFREY
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 2007-03-01
Abstract: We describe a method of decoding a DCM (dual carrier modulation) modulated OFDM signal, the method comprising: inputting first and second received signals representing modulation of a multibit data symbol onto respective first and second carriers of said OFDM signal using respective different first and second constellations; determining a combined representation of said first and second received signal data, representing a combination of a distance of a point representing a bit value of said multibit data from a constellation point in each of said different constellations; and determining a decoded value of a data bit of said multibit data using said combined representation. The combined representation may be the sum of the distances from the points in each constellation. The combined value is used to perform a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) calculation in the decoder. Signal-to-noise and ADC quantisation noise data for each carrier or pair of carriers may be taken into account in the LLR calculation. Also disclosed is a method whereby decoding is performed using an intermediate signal comprising a product of of the received signal and a complex conjugate of the channel estimate. Applications include Ultrawide Band (UWB) systems.
