Patent GB-2473921-A (GB)
Title: Compensation of rising frequency response in passive current-driven loudspeakers
Inventor: MERILAEINEN ESA
IPC: H04R3/08
Filed: 2010-09-13
Abstract: The sound quality of electro-dynamic loudspeakers can be very much improved by feeding the speaker drivers with a current signal instead of the conventional voltage signal. Current-mode is achieved, when the source impedance seen by the driver is high compared to the driver's own impedance. The problem is that, under current-drive, the rising frequency response of a typical cone-type speaker cannot be equalized simply by adding an RC-network in parallel with the driver because then the high source impedance is lost. In this solution a dual voice coil 4a, 4b speaker driver is used together with a current dividing network 5, 6, 7 that disables one of the voice coils at high frequencies, thus producing the required response correction while still preserving relatively high source impedance. Other embodiments are disclosed (figs 5 and 6).

Title: Encoding, transmitting and displaying a sequence of images using a difference image
Inventor: GALLARD THOMAS
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2010-12-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to encoding, transmitting and displaying a sequence of images in which a difference image indicative of the difference between an image of the sequence and a subsequent image of the sequence to be displayed is generated such that, when it is overlaid onto the image, the composite image and the difference image is identical to the subsequent image. The difference image may be generated by comparing a pixel subset of the subsequent image to corresponding pixels in the previous image, and setting the pixel as transparent if it is identical and passes a similarity test, and setting the pixel as opaque if it fails the test. A difference image may be combined with an adjacent difference image to form a composite difference image. A thin client (web browser) may receive the images using a networking protocol. The image overlaying may be based on alpha channel transparency or index based transparency to aid video compression.

Title: Allocating unique sensing periods to terminal devices during which it senses an uplink time-frequency resource for a conflicting transmission
Inventor: TURTINEN SAMULI
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2011-08-30
Abstract: The same uplink time-frequency resource is scheduled 202 to at least two terminal devices and sensing periods of unequal lengths are allocated 204 to the terminal devices. A sensing period defines a duration for which a terminal device senses the uplink time-frequency resource for a conflicting transmission before transmitting in the uplink time-frequency resource. Additionally, the same uplink reference signal sequence may be allocated to the terminal devices. The lengths of the sensing periods may be multiples of an uplink symbol duration. Preferably, a shorter sensing period is allocated to a terminal having higher transmission priority and a longer sensing period is allocated to a terminal having lower transmission priority. A sensing period may be allocated dynamically together with a scheduling message delivering to the terminal device an indication of the scheduled uplink time-frequency resource. Sensing periods may be allocated only to terminal devices operating on an unlicensed frequency band.

Title: Panel roofing frame with hook and click connection
Inventor: BOONEN FREDERIC
IPC: E04D3/06
Filed: 2011-11-28
Abstract: A roofing system for securing panels (100) and a method for assembling a roof covering for a building structure utilizing such roofing system include a variety of interlocking profiles (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70) adapted for connection to each other by a hook-and click mechanism to form a framework adapted for receiving the plurality of panels (100). Each of the various profiles (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70) has a specific form and function. By placing the framework with the secured panels (100) directly on the roof construction of a building structure as the actual roof covering, the substantial cost of, for example, PV-panels is partially deferred due to the dual function of providing a roof cover and supporting PV-panels and, thus generating power, at the same time. Specific passage sleeve connector profiles may be provided.

Title: A process for the rapid shut-down of nuclear fission reactions
Inventor: STEADMAN GARY THOMAS
IPC: G21C7/22
Filed: 2011-12-19
Abstract: Molten boron trioxide (B2O3) is introduced to a nuclear fission environment resulting in a neutron poison reaction and the eventual full shut down of an active nuclear fission reaction within a nuclear reactor pressure vessel, pressure chamber, or equivalent construction that may be subject to fission reaction events, such as a spent fuel pond or reprocessing facility.
