Title: Wireless Network Access Points which exchange management data over air interfaces and other data over wired interconnections
Inventor: CHAUDARY SHAHID
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 2007-11-26
Abstract: In wireless networks with multiple access points (AP) [30a,30b,31], network management data is exchanged between the APs wirelessly for speed [35,36]. In order to conserve the limited wireless bandwidth other data is transferred between APs over a wired backbone [33,37]. This may be achieved by having multiple virtual networks or LANs (VLAN) overlaid on the physical network (See Figs. 4, 5a, 5b). The wireless network may be in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standards and may be used for wireless data capture in retail/warehousing applications.

Title: Methods of comparing samples in mass spectrometry
Inventor: BATEMAN ROBERT HAROLD
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2006-11-23
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein an Electron Capture Dissociation, Electron Transfer Dissociation or Surface Induced Dissociation fragmentation device is repeatedly switched between a high fragmentation or reaction mode and a low fragmentation or reaction mode. Parent ions from a first sample are passed through the device and parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation ion mass spectra are obtained. Parent ions from a second sample are then passed through the device and a second set of parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation ion mass spectra are obtained. The mass spectra are then compared and if either certain parent ions or certain fragmentation ions in the two samples are expressed differently then further analysis is performed to seek to identify the ions which are expressed differently in the two different samples.

Patent GB-2458704-A (GB)
Title: An improved overcurrent protection circuit for an IGBT in an inverter
Inventor: BELWON WALDEMAR A
IPC: H02H7/122
Filed: 2008-03-28
Abstract: When an incipient overcurrent is detected, for example by sensing a high di/dt, the IGBT gate voltage is reduced to a value which maintains the IGBT in a conducting state but with reduced conductivity. If an overcurrent is subsequently confirmed the gate is fully discharged. If an overcurrent is not confirmed the gate overdrive is restored to its normal working value to reduce losses. The technique prevents unnecessary shutdown of the IGBT by induced transients and permits faster shutdown when an overcurrent is confirmed. The peak IGBT current and voltage are reduced in comparison with a simple single stage overcurrent protection scheme. The overcurrent may be due to shoot-through conduction or a short-circuit of the other IGBT in the same inverter arm. The technique is applicable to inverters using MOSFETs.
