Title: Method and apparatus for determining an algebraic solution to gps terrestrial hybrid location system equations
Inventor: FERNANDEZ-CORBATON IVAN J
IPC: G01S19/12
Filed: 2000-12-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a hybrid position location system. The method and apparatus combines measurements from Global Positioning System (GPS) and terrestrial transceiver stations to compute the location of a device. An algebraic solution to hybrid position location system equations is output from the method and apparatus. The method and apparatus determines the position of a device using a non-iterative method, as against the use of a conventional iterative least mean square method. The method of the present invention can be used to solve the location system equations in scenarios where a non-iterative solution is desirable. In certain scenarios, the location system equations may have two possible solutions. An iterative method would converge on one of the solutions, without any indication of the existence of the other ambiguous solution. Moreover, the iterative method may converge on the incorrect of the two ambiguous solutions. Use of the presently disclosed method and apparatus yields both the ambiguous solutions. The disclosed method may be followed up with iterative methods, using the solutions from the algebraic method as initial estimates of the device location for the iterative method. A different process can then select the correct solution. Thus, the algebraic method can be used to detect the existence of ambiguous solutions, and to find both solutions.

Title: Heat engine which operates on the stirling principle
Inventor: POSCHL GUNTER
IPC: F02G1/055
Filed: 1996-03-27
Abstract: Disclosed is a heat engine (10) which operates on the Stirling principle, with a working gas circulation (12) in which the working gas as a drive agent is strongly heated in a first heat exchanger to make it capable of doing work, and with a heat-carrying circuit (14) with a second heat exchanger in which spent working gas is cooled. The first and second heat exchangers are designed as zeolite heat accumulators (16, 18), working gas from a working gas expansion machine (11) being alternately supplied to and drawn from the latter by a switch control (67); the zeolite heat accumulator (16, 18) can be brought into heat-exchanging connection with the heat carrying circuit (14) by the switch control (67). The heat engine (10) operates with a considerably better thermal energy balance that conventional Stirling engines since it is hardly affected by thermal wastage. When working gas is adsorbed in one zeolite heat accumulator, heat is transferred to the heat carrier; when working gas is de-sorbed from the zeolite of the other heat accumulator, the heat transferred to the heat carrier is re-used. The heat engine (10) can be used advantageously in a block heating power plant.

Title: Method and system for cleaning a semiconductor wafer
Inventor: MIKHAYLICH KATRINA A
IPC: H01L21/304
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: A method and a system are provided for cleaning a surface of a wafer. The method starts by scrubbing the surface of the wafer with a cleaning brush that applies a chemical solution to the surface of the wafer. In one example, the cleaning brush implements a through the brush (TTB) technique to apply the chemicals. The scrubbing is generally performed in a brush box, with a top cleaning brush and a bottom cleaning brush. The top cleaning brush is then removed from contact with the surface of the wafer. The chemical concentration in the top brush may be maintained at substantially the same concentration that was in the brush during the scrubbing operation. Next, a flow of water (preferably de-ionized water) is delivered to the surface of the wafer. The delivery of water is preferably configured to remove substantially all of the chemical solution from the surface of the wafer before proceeding to a next cleaning operation.

Title: Lining, packaging, and sealing containers
Inventor: FULLER ANTHONY THOMAS BADEN
IPC: B65B9/04
Filed: 1986-03-11
Abstract: A method is described for automatically packaging articles, such as food articles (11). In the method, substantially rigid preformed containers (1) of porous material are fed by conveyor means (4) and lined with a superimposed web of plastics material (7) at a thermo-forming station (5) so that the plastics material is united with and coherently bonded to the interior of the containers and so as to connect the containers. The containers are then filled and sealed with a second web of plastics material (12) whereafter the containers are separated. The sealing of the containers is conveniently effected by a so-called modified atmosphere packaging system. The use of the preformed containers (1) enables the packaging operation to be operated more efficiently and economically and with less downtime than previously proposed automatic packaging systems.

Title: Method and apparatus for the manufacture of composite articles, and articles made thereby
Inventor: GLOVER JOHN BENJAMIN
IPC: B29C45/03
Filed: 1986-07-07
Abstract: A plastics pipe or pipe coupling is made by injection moulding the plastics pipe or coupling body 1, injection moulding at least one sealing ring 3 separately but susbstantially simultaneously, and bringing the body and sealing ring together directly after the moulding while these components are still in a hot as-moulded state, so that a direct thermal bond is formed between them. Preferably, the respective moulds are opened but the components are not stripped but are brought together for bonding while still in position on respective mould members 15, 19. This eliminates intermediate handling and ensures that the moulded components remain clean and of accurate shape and dimension as they are brought together. Moulding apparatus comprises respective injection moulding cavities for the body and sealing ring, and a reversible support for carrying the sealing ring out of its mould and into contact with the moulded body.

Date Oct. 13, 1994A transcoder converts a received data stream encoded according to a first coding scheme to a data stream coded according to a second coding schem. The schemes specify a first and a a second maximum amount of jitter that may be present in the encoded data streams, respectively. The transcoder includes a decoder section and an encoder section and is operated such that the data stream received by the encoder section has a non-zero amount of jitter and the encoder section produces a coded data stream having an amount of jitter which is less than or equal to the second maximum amount of jitter. By operating the transcoder to provide a decoded video data stream to the encoder section which retains a degree of jitter relative to the oriignal video signal, the buffer requirements can be minimized therefore providing reduced buffeer delay and hence a transcoder with smaller buffer delay than previously obtainable.

Title: Translating and executing object-oriented computer programs
Inventor: HINSLEY CHRISTOPHER ANDREW
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2000-08-16
Abstract: A method of translating object-oriented computer programs into native code includes a two-step translation process, first by a jcode translator (212) into a machine-independent virtual processor code (213), and then by a native translator (214) into native code (230). In a heterogeneous multiprocessor environment, the machine-independent part of the translation can be carried out at the central server, with machine-independent virtual processor code being distributed as required to the individual clients. Each client then needs to carry just a small processor-dependent native translator (214) with which it completes the conversion into native code. The invention finds particular application in embedded systems, and particularly in heterogeneous-processor systems such as mobile phone networks.
