Patent GB-2363924-A (GB)
Title: Processor for FIR filtering
Inventor: STOYE WILLIAM ROBERT
IPC: H03H17/06
Filed: 2000-06-20
Abstract: A method and processor for FIR filtering a series of real input values 10,12 with a series of filter coefficients 14,16 where each of the input values is loaded from memory into the processor, and the processor employs each loaded input value in computing more than one filter output value 90,94 simultaneously whereby the amount of data which needs to be transferred between memory and the processor is substantially reduced. The filter output values are preferably real data values, although the invention could be adapted to operate on complex number pairs. More than one input value can be loaded from memory in each clock cycle. Computations can be made by a multiply-and-accumulate unit, within a filtering unit with dedicated hardware within the processor, or by a general-purpose digital signal processor (DSP). By using existing units within the processor, little or no modification is required to the processor in order to achieve a substantially improved performance.
Patent GB-2361548-A (GB)
Title: Determining the level of particulate contamination in a fluid power system
Inventor: BARNES JOHN
IPC: G01N15/06
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: A device for determining the level of particulate contamination in a fluid power or lubrication system. Between the inlet and the outlet of the device, working fluid passes through a narrow orifice (26) defined between a cylindrical spool (22) and surrounding sleeve (20). As the orifice becomes obstructed by particulate contamination, fluid flow through the device reduces. The contamination level is assessed by measuring the characteristic reduction in fluid flow rate over a period of time. Following the measurement cycle, fluid flow through the device is reversed causing the spool to move relatively within the sleeve to an area of increased bore (40) whereby the enlarged gap allows the release of all trapped contaminants. Following this flushing cycle, the fluid is reverted to the original flow direction, the spool returns to the position within the spool that defines the narrow orifice and another measurement cycle begins.

Title: Telephone number inquiry method and database for all residents
Inventor: HUANG RICHARD
IPC: H04M3/493
Filed: 2001-02-15
Abstract: In conventional telecommunication databases, a telephone number is directed to a unique name. A telephone number inquiry station provides a service for accessing names of telephone subscribers only. However, those, rather than the telephone subscribers, who share the same telephone numbers are in accessible. In times of mass communication importance, inconvenience and negative serviceability arise. The present invention discloses a telephone number inquiry method and database for all residents. By modifying the declaration of database primary keys, data uniqueness can be overcome and, with or without change of an original data structure, all residents are accessible.

Title: Micophone pop filter with a bracket
Inventor: WHITE ANDREW
IPC: H04R1/12
Filed: 2002-03-12
Abstract: A microphone pop filter (18) comprises a filter screen (26) and a bracket (18) attached to the screen and for releasable attachment to the microphone body (12) so that the screen covers but is spaced from the sound receiving portion (14) of the microphone (10). A karaoke singer can have their own pop filter. Before they commence singing, the singer can attach their pop filter to the microphone, and once they have finished they can detach it and take it away with them. Accordingly, the pop filter serves not only to reduce the level of pop that the singer produces, but also acts, at least to some extent, as a barrier to infection that might otherwise be transmitted from the microphone to the singer. The filter screen may be medicated, for example with an antibacterial and/or antiseptic agent, so as to reduce further the risk of cross-infection. The filter screen may also be scented, so as to counteract or overpower the stench given off by a microphone that has been well used in a smoky atmosphere.
