Title: Evaluating investment portfolios
Inventor: MELNIKOFF MEYER
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 1996-02-23
Abstract: A portfolio selector for selecting an investment portfolio from a library of assets based on investment risk and risk-adjusted return is provided. The selector chooses a tentative portfolio from the library and determines a risk-adjusted return for the portfolio. The risk-adjusted return is computed by subtracting the average of multiple segment shortfalls from the average of multiple segment performances, over the same segments, based on analysis of market value data for the assets in the portfolio and for a baseline asset. The asset selection and computation is repeated until the risk-adjusted return of the portfolio satisfies criteria derived from preference data specific to an investor.

Title: Air and gas mixing apparatus having removable baffle plates
Inventor: SHIBAN SAMIR SHEHADE
IPC: B01F23/10
Filed: 1996-07-18
Abstract: A housing (1) receives ambient air through an inlet (12) located so as to direct the airflow against blades (24) of a rotor which disperses the airflow. A gas inlet conduit (3) discharges hazardous gas into a chamber of the housing, wherein the dispersed airflow acts on the gas to disperse and mix with the gas. The mixed air and hazardous gas flow impinges against a wall surface (7) of the housing prior to discharge therefrom via an outlet conduit (10). A source such as the intake side of a blower (25) induces the flow of air and hazardous gas through the housing and the outlet conduit. The rotor is located near the air inlet (12) of the housing for rotor operation by airflow drawn into the housing. A flow sensor (33) and damper (30) control system are provided. Baffle assemblies (40,47) are removably installed in the housing and include apertured plates (42,42,50) which collect particles deposited by the mixed air and gas flowing therethrough. Bypasses (60) are provided to ensure an uninterrupted mixed air and gas flow past the baffle plates.

Title: Battery saving in a radio telephone operating in CDMA slotted paging mode
Inventor: CALLICOTTE MARK
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1998-01-21
Abstract: A radio telephone 104 operating in a CDMA slotted paging mode calculates the timing required to wake up selected portions of the telephone and stores the wake up times in registers prior to entering a low power sleep mode. Prior to entry into the sleep mode the telephone also synchronises its local timing to the received PN roll boundaries (PN sequence returning to its initial value). During the sleep mode a sleep timer simulates system timing. When the sleep timer matches the stored wake up times, the telephone reactivates selected portions of itself, such as a local oscillator 116 and a radio frequency portion of an analogue front end 108, to exit the sleep mode and reacquire communication with the system. An early exit may be made from the sleep mode, for example to service an interrupt, while maintaining system timing.
