Title: Wavelength stabilisation of a laser device
Inventor: EBISU NAOYA
IPC: H01S3/139
Filed: 1998-10-27
Abstract: A wavelength stabilizing device of a laser device such as a helium-neon laser 11 detects a constant thermal equilibrium of the laser oscillator 11a, making it possible to realize laser beam wavelength stabilization with high reproducibility. Thermal equilibrium of the laser oscillator is detected by photoelectric detectors 24a, 24b and fluctuation period detector 32 from the extension speed of the laser oscillator. When the fluctuation period becomes sufficiently great, feedback control of heaters 12 via a comparator 26 is started to stabilise the wavelength. A covering cylinder 42 and heater 43 surrounding the outer periphery of the laser are controlled and maintained at a set value by another feedback loop 41 including temperature sensors 44 and an ambient temperature setting device.

Title: Testing the integrity of software pre-installed on a computer hard disk
Inventor: CHANG VAM
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: Testing the integrity of software packages which have been pre-installed on a computer hard disk, wherein the pre-installation procedure may not have utilized any testing procedure. A file information access function (Fig. 2) directly reads data on the physical magnetic tracks of the hard disk through a lower level operating method which bypasses the disk operating system (DOS) file management to obtain, and store in a temporary file, the file names, file sizes, file storage locations and other information which is stored in all partitions (including hidden and normal partitions (Fig. 1)) of the disk. A standard pre-installed software information file is created based on file information stored in the disk directories, and is compared with the temporary file, shown (and Fig. 7). Certain files and directories (e.g. registers and swap files), previously identified by the operator, are excluded from the comparison to avoid erroneous results since their contents may be altered during the computer start-up routine and testing.

Title: Ferroelectric liquid crystal device
Inventor: LYMER KARL PHILIP
IPC: G02F1/137
Filed: 1999-06-17
Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal display which incorporates switching circuitry to change the state of the liquid crystal material between two states by the application of a switching voltage V of duration #. The liquid crystal material and the alignment layers are such that the cell containing them exhibits a #-V response in the form of a curve having two minima separated by an intermediate maximum. Such a response, which may be termed a double-turnaround response, allows a high degree of discrimination between the switched and non-switched states beyond the turnaround point, and offers potential addressing advantages.

Title: Method of processing signals and apparatus for signal processing
Inventor: MCINTYRE JAMES HENDRIE
IPC: H04N9/68
Filed: 1999-07-30
Abstract: An image processing apparatus operates to process input signal samples representative of at least part of a colour video image to produce legal colour signal samples representative of a legal colour version of the image. The apparatus comprises an adjustment factor generator, which operates to generate a plurality of adjustment factors which when combined with the input signal samples have an effect of converting illegal colour pixels of the colour image into legal colour pixels, a quantisation processor coupled to the adjustment factor generator which operates to process the adjustment factors by detecting whether each of the input signal samples depart from a legal range by less than a quantisation threshold and if the input signal sample does setting the adjustment factor associated with the input signal sample to a value at which the adjustment factor will have no effect when combined with the input signal sample, and a colour legaliser coupled to the quantisation processor and the generator which operates to combine the processed adjustment factors with the input signal samples to produce the legalised colour signal samples. The image processing apparatus may operate with input signal samples in the form having red, green or blue components, or in a form having luminance and chrominance components, or indeed in other forms.

Patent GB-2336929-A (GB)
Title: Recognition system
Inventor: PONTING KEITH MICHAEL
IPC: G10L15/065
Filed: 1998-02-24
Abstract: A recognition system (10) incorporates a filterbank analyser (16) producing successive data vectors of energy values for twenty-six frequency intervals in a speech signal. A unit (18) compensates for spectral distortion in each vector. Compensated vectors undergo a transformation into feature vectors with twelve dimensions and are matched with hidden Markov model states in a computer (24). Each matched model state has a mean value which is an estimate of the speech feature vector. A match inverter (28) produces an estimate of the speech data vector in frequency space by a pseudo-inverse transformation. It includes information which will be lost in a later transformation to frequency space. The estimated data vector is compared with its associated speech signal data vector, and infinite impulse response filters (44) average their difference with others. Averaged difference vectors so produced are used by the unit (18) in compensatior of speech signal data vectors.

Title: Pulse shaping binary data into a baseband signal for a modulation scheme using a  digital filter
Inventor: SHYU ALBERT
IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 1999-08-21
Abstract: A modulation system has a digital filter that receives serial binary data <B>D</B><SB>i</SB> that is stored in shift register <B>815</B>. The contents of the register are fed into a combinational logic circuit <B>812</B> along with the output of a counter <B>811</B> that is clocked at a multiple of the data bit rate. The combinational logic circuit outputs data representative of one of an optimised number of samples of the filters output in response to the binary data input (see figures 5-7 regarding the optimisation). This optimisation allows the decoder to be simplified. The decoder <B>813</B> then decodes this data into control data suitable for the DAC <B>82</B> which outputs an analogue signal representing the binary data signal subjected to the filter function. The DAC is selected with output levels to match the optimised sample points to reduce complexity and is therefore non linear. The analogue signal can then be filtered <B>83</B> and used as a modulating signal <B>84</B>. The filter function is preferably a Gaussian low pass filter function (GLPF).

Title: Airplane safe take-off rotation indicator with headwind calculation
Inventor: GREENE LEONARD MICHAEL
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 1999-08-24
Abstract: A device for indicating that an airplane has reached a safe speed in the presence of headwinds for initiating take-off rotation. The device senses the true ground speed of the airplane and converts the true ground speed into an "indicated ground speed" using a coefficient between true air speed and indicated air speed for the airplane, which may be based on ambient air temperature and pressure. The device determines a value relating to headwind from the difference between the indicated ground speed and the indicated air speed of the airplane and, whenever the headwind exceeds a preselected margin, the device increases the value of the safe minimum indicated air speed for initiation of take-off by any excess of the headwind over the preselected margin. The device then directs the flight director to initiate take-off rotation when the indicated air speed of the airplane equals or exceeds the adjusted minimum indicated air speed. The device may utilise summers, clippers and a solenoid 20; or use a computer (23, fig 2) to process data.
