Patent GB-2534109-A (GB)
Title: A quantum communication system
Inventor: JAMES DYNES
IPC: H04B10/70
Filed: 2014-06-23
Abstract: This application is concerned with a transmitter 1 for a quantum communication system, the transmitter including an interferometer with a phase modulator 6 in one of its arms. The transmitter transmits pulses across an optical fibre link 16 in pulse pairs 51, 52, which have mutually orthogonal polarization. When the optical fibre exhibits polarization mode dispersion (PMD) this can cause an additional time difference, δt, to emerge between the orthogonally polarized pulses, which degrades desired interference in a receiver. In the present invention this is mitigated by performing temporal broadening of each pulse. This is achieved by passing the output of the transmit interferometer through a pass through optical filter 50 configured to restrict the frequency range of pulses. The filter may be a narrow bandwidth filter. The transmitter is suitable for use with a receiver 17 which also comprises an interferometer with a phase modulator 26 in one of its arms. In an alternative embodiment at least one of the interferometers includes a variable delay line 60, 28 which can be varied by a controller 15 to eliminate the additional time difference δt. The variable delay line may take the form of an electronic delay line 60 or/and a fibre stretcher 28. In yet another embodiment, polarization dependent loss (PDL) is mitigated using an attenuator (70, Fig. 6) provided in one arm of one of the interferometers.

Title: Combustion system and method
Inventor: JENNINGS JAMES ROBERT
IPC: F02M25/00
Filed: 2014-07-03
Abstract: A method of increasing an economic efficiency of a combustion system 10 run with alcohol fuels (such as methanol and/or ethanol) is concerned with injecting a controlled quantity of fuel additive into the engine 20. The method includes using an injector for the fuel additive (e.g. Avocet), injecting the additive and/or fuel directly into the combustion chambers of the engine block 20; and using a control arrangement 80 for controlling a quantity of the fuel additive which is injected. The control arrangement includes a computer linked to a temperature sensor 70 placed in or on the engine block 20, and controlling a flow rate of an electronic fuel injector, where the flow-rate of fuel is controlled by a power control, such as a vehicle accelerator, for controlling output power from the engine block. The efficiency is improved by reducing the amount of additive required, this reduction being made by the controlled use of the fuel additive as a function of combustion engine operating parameters, such as engine temperature.
