Title: System for determining unmatched design elements in a computer automated design
Inventor: KELLER S BRANDON
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2004-08-13
Abstract: A system (100) and method for determining unmatched design elements in a circuit (109). The system determines instances of a first type and a second type of the design elements (111) that are connected to a specific node in the circuit (109), and stores the gate signal name for each determined said occurrence of the first type of design element (111) in a first list (110).

Patent GB-2423149-A (GB)
Title: Suppression of crosstalk and noise in time-division multiplexed interferometric sensor systems
Inventor: WAAGAARD OLE HENRIK
IPC: G01D5/353
Filed: 2006-02-10
Abstract: Unwanted signal components in time-division multiplexed (TDM) systems may lead to crosstalk and noise if these pulses overlap with signal pulses from an interrogated sensor. The crosstalk and noise are dominated by interference between the signal pulses from the interrogated sensor and the unwanted signal components and can be greatly reduced by suppressing this interference signal. The unwanted signal components may include overlapping pulses originating from different sets of interrogation pulses (repetition periods). Modulating the phase or frequency between the repetition periods so that the unwanted interference signal does not appear at frequencies from which the phase of the interrogated sensor is demodulated suppresses this interference. Other unwanted signal components include leakage light during dark periods of the duty cycle of an interrogation signal. Modulating the phase difference between the interrogation signal and the leakage light suppresses the interference between the leakage light and the interrogation signal.

Title: A method of manufacturing a filter
Inventor: JASSELL SURINDERJIT KUMAR
IPC: B01D35/02
Filed: 2006-05-26
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a filter is disclosed in which first and second housing components (10,20) are provided that are engageable with each other so as to define an enclosure for accommodating a filter medium (30). The first housing component (10) includes a continuous seat (18) that extends about the periphery of said enclosure. A bead of adhesive (40) is then applied to either the seat (18) of the first housing component (10) or a continuous part of the filter medium (30) that overlies said seat (18,118). The first and second housing components (10,20) are then engaged together such that pressure is applied to the bead of adhesive (40), and adhesive (40) is displaced into contact with an adjacent surface of the filter medium (30) and/or an adjacent surface of at least one of the housing components (10,20). The adhesive (40) thereby forms a seal between the filter medium (30) and at least one of the housing components (10,20). The filter may be used in artificial respiratory systems e.g anaesthetic or ventilator systems.
