Title: Magnetic Resonance System
Inventor: MCDOUGALL IAN LEITCH
IPC: G01R33/38
Filed: 2009-03-06
Abstract: The system uses annular arrays of magnet modules, each module generating an associated magnetic field when in use. The associated magnetic fields of the magnet modules combine at a target volume to generate a resultant main magnetic field within the target volume. Each magnet module comprises a cylindrical support surface. On this surface there is a layer of superconductor material, positioned by epitaxy or vapour deposition techniques. The apparatus may provide an open magnet or cylindrical magnet arrangement through the use of differing numbers of arrays. The cylinders may be positioned with all their individual axes parallel or perpendicular to the axis of the array.

Title: Multicast transmission to a cluster of receiving nodes and employing intra-cluster retransmission of missed packets
Inventor: WEI ZOU
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2009-09-24
Abstract: In a multicast system, a source (101) sends a multicast packet to a cluster of recipients (A-C). The source then receives information indicating receiving status of the multicast packet (e.g. ACK/NAK) from each individual member of the cluster. The source collects the status information and sends it to each member of the cluster, e.g. as a table or matrix (fig. 1B, not shown). On receipt of this information, intra-cluster retransmission of missed packets takes place with each cluster member determining whether to request retransmission of a missed packet from another cluster member, or to retransmit a packet to a cluster member which reeports that it missed the packet. Determination can be made based on link strengths, transmission priorities, allocated transmission resources, power capabilites of cluster members etc.

Title: Permanent magnet rotor machine with asymmetric flux
Inventor: LEONARDI FRANCO
IPC: H02K1/27
Filed: 2009-10-09
Abstract: An internal permanent magnet machine has permanent magnets placed asymmetrically in lamination openings to attenuate oscillations in torque caused by harmonicc components of magnetic flux. The rotor may comprise multiple rotor sections, each section having multiple rotor laminations the sections being skewed. The asymmetry may be achieved by peripheral displacement to define different separation of adjacent magnets as shown in fig 5 or by altering the mutual inclination of symmetrically disposed pairs of magnets which define "V" shapes as shown in fig 12. In an alternative arrangement (fig 14) the magnets may be symmetrically arranged in each section but skewed between sections. In this embodiment the laminations are punched using a common stamping die and formed with at least two key slots asymmetrically arranged so that a selection of rotating and flipping the laminations allows for the creation of sections which when assembled on a keyed shaft have the required skew. The arrangement of fig 5 is said to allow short rotors to be constructed since the skewed section arrangement is not required.
Patent GB-2475330-A (GB)
Title: Electric detector for sensing electromagnetic fields
Inventor: DESHAYES HUGHES
IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 2009-11-17
Abstract: The device comprises an aluminium case, containing the electronics, and a handle of the same metal. Both the case and the handle are separated by a non electrically conductive spacer. An electrical wire is connected to one end of the handle and runs through it and into the case, where it is connected to the gate of the transistor (FET). The circuit comprises of a FET, a microamp meter, a couple of capacitors, a variable resistor and a battery. It is set in equilibrium by the variable resistor and will remain so until a charge reaches the gate of the FET. This causes a current to flow through the meter in one direction or the other, depending on the polarity of the charge. The latter is first picked up by the lower part of the user's body, as he walks into or out of an electric field. This is caused by electrostatic induction. The charge is then transferred to the conductive handle and to the wire connected to the FET's gate. The device is quite sensitive and capacitors are required to dampen the electrostatic charges generated by walking. The device may be used for locating live electrical cables or underground streams.
