Title: Underwater communications system in which the fluid between a transmitter and a receiver is modified to have a lower conductivity than surrounding water
Inventor: HYLAND BRENDAN
IPC: H04B13/02
Filed: 2010-02-12
Abstract: The system for underwater communications comprises a transmitter having a transmit antenna 11B, a receiver having receive antenna 12B and a fluid modifying means 151-153. The system has an active mode of operation and an inactive mode. In the inactive mode the transmit antenna and the receive antenna are arranged so that the region extending between them is occupied by water. During the active mode of operation, the fluid modifying means provides a reduced conductivity fluid in the region between the transmit antenna and the receive antenna and electromagnetic signals are transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver via the reduced conductivity fluid thereby providing reduced attenuation and so allowing higher data transfer rate for a given range of communications. The transmitter may be located in an underwater vehicle and the receiver in a base station. The fluid modifying means may involve emitting gas bubbles into the water; mechanically generating bubbles using a rotor; emitting another fluid into the water, such as one with a reduced salinity; or electrolysis. Bidirectional communication is also envisaged.

Title: Detecting a primary user of a band of spectrum by a secondary user in a cognitive radio network
Inventor: FOURARI ISMAIL
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2010-10-22
Abstract: A communications apparatus capable of detecting a signal transmitted by another apparatus in a first band of spectrum is described. The apparatus identifies at least one second band of spectrum, different from the first band of spectrum, in which no signal is detected and then determines a noise characteristic for the at least one second band of spectrum. The determined noise characteristic may then be used by an energy detector operating in the first band of spectrum to ensure reliable detection of signals transmitted by the other apparatus. A kurtosis parameter is calculated for received sampled using a cyclostationary detector and an expectation maximization algorithm is performed. The invention lies in detecting a primary user of a band of spectrum by a secondary user in a cognitive radio network quickly and with a high probability of detection.

Title: Fiber optic inner string position sensor system
Inventor: MARTIN CARL S
IPC: E21B43/04
Filed: 2010-08-11
Abstract: The well condition during gravel packing is monitored and the gravel distribution condition is sent to the surface in real time through the preferred technique of a fiber optic line that wraps around the screens directly or indirectly on a surrounding tube around the screens. The fiber optic line has a breakaway connection that severs when the completion inner string is removed. A production string can then be run in to tag the fiber optic line through a wet connect to continue monitoring well conditions in the production phase. The fiber optic line can also be coiled above the packer so that relative movement of the inner string to the set packer can be detected and communicated to the surface in real time so as to know that the crossover has been moved the proper distance to, for example, get it from the gravel packing position to the reverse out position.

Abstract: Transfer of multiple digital data streams, especially of digital audio data over a single communications link such as a single wire. Audio interface circuitry comprises a pulse length modulator, PLM 103. The PLM 103 is responsive to a plurality of data streams (PDM-R, PDM-L) of audio data samples at a sample rate, to generate a stream of data pulses (MPDM) at the sample rate. The length of each said data pulse is dependent upon on a combination of the then current audio data samples from the plurality of data streams, such as a logical combination. The audio data streams may comprise 1-bit digital data streams corresponding to left and right audio data channels. Preferably, the PLM is responsive to a clock signal having a frequency equal to the sample rate and to a second clock signal having a frequency which is a multiple of the first clock signal. Circuitry for receiving and extracting the data is also disclosed. An interface 104 receives the stream of data pulses (MPDM) and data extraction circuitry 105, 106 determines the pulse length of said data pulse and determines a data value for each of the plurality of audio data streams.

Title: Spiral device for catching and retaining a cable
Inventor: BURGIN CLIFFORD MARK
IPC: A47B21/06
Filed: 2012-06-12
Abstract: A cable catching and retaining device 1 for use with tables, desks, workstations etc. comprises a spiral catching and retaining region 2 made of wire into which a cable with a connector (e.g. plug) may be introduced, wherein the body of the cable effectively passes through the spiral region 2 but passage of the connector through this region is prevented. The spiral 2 continues to form a tension spring section 4 to secure the device 1 to the edge and surface of the desk, for example. A zig-zag section 5 of wire forms a platform region 6 which is in contact with the top of the desk and aids the spring action and enhances the stability of the device 1. A lower part 7 of the tension spring 4 is located beneath the desk surface and connected via a section 8 to the platform region 6. The cable body may be passed through the entrance 3 of the spiral region 2 where it may move freely. As the cable body is pushed further into the spiral region 2 towards a terminus 9, adjacent sections of the spiral 2 come together and engage with the cable such that the cable is tightly gripped by the spiral region 2.
