Title: Antenna selection
Inventor: TONI LEHTIMÄKI
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 2017-11-02
Abstract: This application relates to a MIMO handset which includes two internal antennas 102, 104 and at least one antenna connector 108, 112 for connecting an external antenna. The handset also includes an RF transmitter / receiver unit 504 and a separate RF receiver unit 506. The invention involves determining antennas available for transmission and reception and controlling, on the basis of the determination, which of the antennas is connected to the transmitter / receiver unit, and which antenna is connected to the receiver unit. The units and the antennas are connected to each other using a set of switches 508, 510, 512, 514 controlled by control signals. Preferably an assessment is made of the relative performance of the available antennas; the antenna with the best performance is assigned to the transmitter / receiver unit, and the antenna with the second best performance is assigned to the receiver unit. The handset may take user input into account when controlling the switches, or/and information on received signal strength.

Title: Controlling a process by generating intensity values
Inventor: JOEL ERIK CHRISTOFFER METELIUS
IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 2017-11-15
Abstract: Directional data is derived from a manually-interactive-device configured to generate positional data and intensity data. Initial positional data is generated, along with initial intensity data from an initial contact of a finger upon the manually-interactive-device. The manually-interactive-device has a definition sufficiently high to produce a plurality of data-points in response to the application of a single finger. Directional data is produced in response to a finger rolling or tilting operation by generating additional intensity data in which variations occur to intensity values at the previously identified data-point positions. The generating step may include presenting a menu of selectable items on a display screen or presenting and moving a cursor.

Title: Sample mass spectrum analysis
Inventor: KEITH GEORGE RICHARDSON
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2016-05-27
Abstract: A method of analysing a sample mass spectrum comprises comparing a sample mass spectrum of a sample with each reference mass spectrum of plural reference mass spectra. A similarity index is assigned to each reference mass spectrum of the plural reference mass spectra based on similarity between the sample mass spectrum and the reference mass spectrum. For each group of one or more groups of the plural reference mass spectra, the similarity indexes for the reference mass spectra belonging to the group are combined so as to provide a group index for the group at a first level of a hierarchy of sample characteristics. The reference mass spectra belonging to each group are mass spectra of reference samples that have a particular characteristic in common. The method provides a way to categorise a sample as belonging to a particular group of reference samples.

Title: Protein nanostructure based drug delivery system for the delivery of therapeutic agents to the anterior segment of the eye
Inventor: MOHAMMAD AHSAN SAAD
IPC: A61P27/02
Filed: 2016-11-16
Abstract: The present invention describes a multifunctional system in which a nanostructure (size range of about 10-1000 nm) degrades on exposure to an infection and its associated inflammatory milieu. The degraded nanostructures release the encapsulated drug during the process of degradation, where the kinetics of drug release is determined by the severity of the infection and inflammation. This degradation is triggered by proteases secreted by the pathogen, host polymorphonuclear leucocytes and other host cells. The nanostructures are conjugated to anti-TLR (Toll-like receptor) ligands for targeting the corneal epithelium and blocking the inflammatory pathway.
