Title: An improved multi chamber container to prepare instant dose preparation
Inventor: PATEL KAMLESH
IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 2014-05-01
Abstract: A multi chamber container 1 has: a bottom chamber 2 for holding a liquid 8; a top chamber 3 for holding a powder 7; a main cap 5 housing the top chamber and with an outlet 5a for allowing the consumer to access the mixed preparation; a smaller removable cap 6 closing the outlet; and, on top of the main cap, a pressing cover 4 with an elongate hollow stem which reaches the base of the top chamber, and an aperture to receive the outlet.

Title: Electronic tuning system
Inventor: REDMAN-WHITE WILLIAM
IPC: H04B5/00
Filed: 2014-10-24
Abstract: A system is provided that can automatically adjust a tuned circuit to resonate at the frequency of an applied excitation signal. The system includes a tuned circuit comprising an inductor Lant, at least two capacitors C1 & C2 and a switch S1, and circuitry to control the timing of the opening and closing of the switch synchronously with the applied excitation signal. The duty cycle is controlled. The frequency error between the excitation signal and the resonant frequency of the tuned circuit is determined in real time from signals derived from within the circuit. The tuning information may be stored in a memory and used to set the tuning instantaneously in order to maintain resonance when the excitation frequency changes abruptly, for example when the excitation signal is modulated signal that carries information in the form of frequency shift keying (FSK). The system thus permits the use of FM or FSK in a high-Q resonant antenna circuit in an RFID device, or in wireless charging applications. In such applications, the system avoids transients and energy loss when switching tuning capacitors.

Title: Mechanisms for deriving an accurate timing signal from a noisy waveform
Inventor: HALL RICHARD M
IPC: G01P3/489
Filed: 2014-05-22
Abstract: Deriving a clean timing signal from a waveform is disclosed. A sensor-of-interest (SOI) sample set and a waveform sample set that correspond to the SOI sample set in time is collected. The waveform sample set is partitioned into a plurality of waveform sample subsets, and the SOI sample set is partitioned into a plurality of SOI sample subsets, each SOI sample subset corresponding to one of the plurality of waveform sample subsets. A plurality of waveform sample subset angular speeds is determined, wherein each waveform sample subset angular speed corresponds to a different waveform sample subset. An aggregate mean angular speed based on the plurality of waveform sample subset angular speeds is determined. Each SOI sample subset is resampled to the aggregate mean angular speed based on the corresponding waveform sample subset angular speed to generate a plurality of resampled SOI subsets.Â  In this way, the effect of speed variations on the sampling of the sensor signals can be compensated and sensed parameters may be aligned with the angular position of the rotating member.Â  Special measures based on expected pulse lengths can be taken to ensure that correct angular speed and angular position determinations can be made based on noisy voltage or current signals of electrical machines.
