Patent GB-2451149-A (GB)
Title: A dual mode ion mobility-mass analyser device
Inventor: GILES KEVIN
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2007-12-12
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a device which is operable in a first mode of operation to separate ions temporally according to their ion mobility by applying a continuous axial electric field. The device is also operable in a second mode of operation wherein ions are separated temporally according to their mass to charge ratio by pulsing an applied axial electric field ON and OFF so that ions are prevented from reaching a steady state terminal velocity. The device may be switched between the two modes whilst being maintained at the same relatively high operating pressure. Preferably the device is formed from a plurality of electrodes having apertures through which ions are transmitted in use.

Patent GB-2457986-A (GB)
Title: Acoustic echo cancellation
Inventor: ALVES ROGERIO GUEDES
IPC: H04B3/20
Filed: 2008-03-06
Abstract: A power saving, audio processing device for reducing the effect on a first signal of echo from a second signal comprises an echo reduction processor 9 for processing the first signal to reduce echo in it. The echo reduction unit has a first mode of operation for reducing echo of a first function from the first signal; and a second mode of operation for reducing echo of a second function from the first signal, the second function being more complex than the first function and the echo reduction processor being such as to consume more power in the second mode of operation than in the first mode of operation. An echo reduction controller controls the echo reduction processor to operate in a selected one of the two modes of operation. The first function may relate to linear acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) whilst the second function may relate to non-linear AEC requiring increased digital signal processing (DSP) and the modes of operation may be selected according to the volume setting on the device. If the volume is sufficiently low, no AEC may be necessary, for which neither function may be required, thereby saving further energy. May be used in hands-free wireless headsets, telephones and laptop computers.

Title: Encryption using synchronisation
Inventor: ANTILLI DAVIDE
IPC: H04L9/12
Filed: 2008-06-03
Abstract: In a secure data transmission system, data is encrypted by a value 50 read by a synchronised clock 35 after start and stop signals are sent from a transmitter 20. After transmitting a list of numbers (perhaps itself in the form of time intervals), sending clock 25 is started and a stop signal sent when the sending clock reaches a value matching a predetermined random number key, with the receiving clock being resynchronised at regular intervals. An optimal counting rate is set by control signals from a controller 38 according to channel parameters, and the rate is reduced as the value approaches to prevent overshoot. Eavesdropping third parties thus cannot acquire the encrypting value.

Title: Protocol shim for IP core incorporation in a PC
Inventor: SHOEMAKER KEN
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 2009-05-21
Abstract: An adapter for interconnecting communication according to a personal computer (PC) protocol and a second protocol for an IP core. A first interface coupled to the adapter is to perform address translation, such as re-locatable PCI address into an AXI/OCP protocol, and ordering of transactions received from upstream of the adapter. The first interface is coupled in turn via one or more physical units to heterogeneous resources, each of which includes an intellectual property (IP) core and a shim, where the shim is to implement a header of the PC protocol for the heterogeneous IP core to enable its incorporation into the apparatus without modification. The second protocol is an open core protocol (OCP) or an advanced extensible interface (AXI). The first interface may translate configuration cycles of the PC protocol, such as a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) protocol. Common operations might include low power management and error handling. The first interface may provide further route accesses to a device memory space to the corresponding shim. The first interface of the Yunit connects to an adapter block to interface to a PCI-compatible bus.

IPC: G01N21/59
Filed: 2008-01-07
Abstract: A technique for assessing runway visibility to airborne infrared vision devices (EV8) determines the range performance of airborne infrared EVS sensors at a given destination and in real time by extending the modem RVR philosophy to the infrared spectrum The technique measures extinction coefficients (14, 16) at the infrared sensor wavelengths of interest through deployment of ground-based infrared transmissometers (50, 52) These infrared extinction coefficients are used with computational algo  f  thms (12) that are analogous to those used at visible wavelengths to determine the respective distances at which the background scene and runway light are discernible using infrared cameras with appropriate image processing (70) In this technique, infrared sensors replace the human eye as a basic mechanism of sensing through the atmospheric path The algorithms also account for the image processing and cockpit display functions, in accordance with the ultimate discernment by the pilot's eye when viewing an approp  f  ate display device.

Abstract: 1,134,893. Caps for bottles &c. Z. M. ROEHR. 8 March, 1966 [29 Nov., 1965], No. 10093/66. Heading B8T. A tamper-proof cap for a bottle &c. has, at the lower end of its screw-threaded wall 5, a skirt 17 connected to the wall 5 through a rupturable zone. An inwardly pointing flange 20 on the skirt projects beneath a bead 22 on the bottle neck, a small gap 26 being provided in the axial direction between the flange 20 and bead 22 when the cap is fully screwed down. On removing the cap the initial torque loosens the engaged threads on the cap and bottle walls. Then further application of torque causes the flange 20 to engage the shoulder of the bead 22 and the skirt 17 to break off from the wall 5 around the rupturable zone. In the embodiment the rupturable zone comprises a series of circumferentially spaced bridges, the crosssectional areas of which are greater adjacent the skirt than adjacent the wall. One or more axial slits, extending partly or fully across the width of the skirt, may be provided to impart sufficient flexibility to the skirt to enable it to snap over the bead 22 on initial application of the cap. An outstanding flange 37 on the upper part of the skirt 17 enables the skirt to be gripped during application of the cap. The cap may be moulded integrally from plastics material, and may be provided with a packing disc 14 engaging in an internal groove 13 in the cap.
