Title: A high altitude helicopter
Inventor: BECKETT RICHARD GERARDE
IPC: B64C23/00
Filed: 2008-03-25
Abstract: A high altitude helicopter 1 comprises a shroud 3 enclosing part of the rotor and spraying nozzles 4 arranged on the shroud to spray air / fluid onto the rotor blades 2. The fluid sprayed onto the rotor blades is contained in tanks 5 on board the helicopter or supplied via an air line 7, and is pumped to the spray nozzles. The air / fluid blown onto the rotor blades is denser that the surrounding atmosphere, and the rotor is thereby able to provide more lift to the helicopter. The shroud surrounding the rotor may be fixed, or retractable. The fluid sprayed onto the rotor may be a gas or a liquid, or a mixture of the two. Ideally, the denser air which has been processed by the rotor would be suck up and recycled. By this method, the helicopter is able to fly at high altitudes.

Title: Cryptographic architecture with instruction masking for thwarting differential power analysis
Inventor: SHU DAVID B
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2005-06-07
Abstract: The invention prevents information leakage attacks that utilise timeline alignment such as Differential Power Analysis (DPA). A random or predetermined number of pseudo instructions are inserted into an encryption algorithm such that the leaked information cannot be aligned in time to allow an attacker to break the encryption. The pseudo instructions mimic real instructions in terms of energy consumption without affecting the running of the encryption algorithm. The algorithm may be a Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm and the pseudo instructions may emulate bit-wise shift instructions. The pseudo instructions may be inserted in substitution/permutation box entry address evaluations. The pseudo instructions may be performed when a control flag is set, the control flag halting a state machine of a processor running the encryption algorithm. The halting of the state machine may comprise disabling a destination register of the state machine. Other embodiments are disclosed, including a cryptographic bus architecture that prevents usage of side channel information by randomly toggling the polarity of a target bit at a data bus driver.

Title: Slotted thread protection device
Inventor: BENEDICT DETLEV
IPC: B65D59/00
Filed: 2007-04-05
Abstract: A thread protection member (100) for protecting threads in a threaded joint includes a body (104) formed of a material selected to reduce damage to the threads during a make-up of the threaded joint and a discontinuity (102) reducing remaining clamping forces and thus allowing the body to deform in a predetermined manner when the body is removed from the threaded joint. In one arrangement, the discontinuity is a void at least partially penetrating the body. For example, the void can be a longitudinal slot that extends partially or fully through the body. In another embodiment, the discontinuity is a region in the body that has at least one material property different from a material property of an adjacent portion of the body. To remove the thread protection member from the joint, a suitable tool may be used to deform the body to extract the body from the joint.

Title: Tuned resonant circuits
Inventor: HILL NICHOLAS PATRICK ROLAND
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2008-11-14
Abstract: We describe a resonant circuit suitable for an RFID tag. The circuit comprises: a first, non-linear (switched) capacitor circuit (C1, C2, C3, fig.1) providing two different values of capacitance dependent on the amplitude of a resonance signal on the non-linear capacitor; a power supply circuit coupled to said nonlinear capacitor to provide a power supply for the circuit; a plurality of second capacitors (C5 - C14, fig.5) each coupled to a respective switch to enable said second capacitors to be switched in or out of parallel connection with said first, non-linear capacitor; and a tuning control circuit powered by said power supply, coupled to said second capacitor switches. The tuning control senses the amplitude of said resonance signal and is configured to control said second capacitor switches to successively switch said second capacitors in or out of parallel connection with said first, non-linear capacitor dependent on the amplitude of said resonance signal until said first, non-linear capacitor has substantially a single one of said two different values. In this tuned condition, the resonant circuit then behaves substantially as a resonant circuit having a fixed value capacitor. The circuit provides a self-adaptive resonator for the power-up tuning of an RFID tag, with the behaviour when tuned of a conventionally-tuned linear resonator.

Title: Method for the production of magnet cores; magnet cores and inductive component with a magnet core
Inventor: BRUNNER MARKUS
IPC: C22C19/00
Filed: 2007-07-11
Abstract: A magnet core is required to be particularly dense, made of alloys produced in a rapid solidification process and have a minimal coercitive field strength. To achieve these aims, a coarse-grain powder fraction is first produced from an amorphous strip of a soft magnetic alloy. In addition, at least one fine-grain powder fraction is produced from nanocrystalline strip of a soft magnetic alloy. The particle fractions are then mixed to produce a multi-modal powder, wherein the particles of the coarse-grain particle fraction have an amorphous structure and the particles of the fine-grain powder fraction have a nanocrystalline structure. The multi-modal powder is then pressed to produce a magnet core.

Abstract: 237,347. Wade, J. R. April 25, 1924. Breakivaters, sea walls, and the like; caissons.-A reinforced concrete structure for use in the construction of breakwaters and like subaqueous structures has associated therewith temporary reinforcement members of a kind such as steel railway or tramway rails adapted to take the stresses on the structure during transport and to serve their normal purpose after removal. Fig. 2 is a plan of a concrete caisson a for the construction of a breakwater. The caisson is a rectangular structure, reinforced by longitudinal walls c and transverse walls d, and having deck-like horizontal partitions e, f, Fig. 3. Wells g are provided to give access to the chambers h, i in which the tension members j, j<1> forming the removable reinforcement are located. These members consist of rails suitable for use in railway construction in the locality where the breakwater is to be built, and the shackles L and couplings m are designed to permit fish-plates m<1> to be used as packing pieces, and preferably the shackles are so designed that some of their components l<1> can be cut off and used as fish-plates. For coupling the rails j, j<1> elsewhere than at a compartment wall two shackles m are attached to the rails by means of bolts, and connected together by means of double-threaded bolts n passed through lugs m<2>. The parts m<1> of the shackles are adapted for use as fish-plates. The rails' are anchored to the concrete walls by castings or forgings l having arms l<1> between which the rails are bolted. The tension is transferred through the, walls by double-threaded bolts n passing through pipes o in the walls. Diagonal tie-rods q are provided which may be attached to separate anchorages, but are preferably anchored to the castings l. The bottom of the structure may consist of a number of independent units constructed separately and then joined by inserting the lower reinforcement members j. These units may be cast above high water at neap tide with walls p high enough to enable them to be floated off at high water at spring tide. When seasoned they are towed out and bolted up, using the members j or lighter temporary reinforcement members which can be removed when the structure is completed and the members j put in. In addition, permanent concrete reinforcement r may be filled in. The completed caisson may be transferred to the site where the breakwater is to be located either by towing, by fitting engines thereto, or by building into the structure one or two obsolete stream boats or tugs.
