Title: A method for starting up a helical separation system for operation in separating a multiphase fluid stream comprising heavier and lighter fluid components
Inventor: HOPPER HANS PAUL
IPC: B04C3/00
Filed: 2006-02-25
Abstract: The method comprises feeding to the system a first fluid stream consisting essentially of the heavier fluid component and, when the fluid velocity within the separation system has reached a minimum operating velocity for the multiphase fluid stream, replacing over a period of time the first fluid stream with the multiphase fluid stream to be separated. The multiphase fluid flows along a helical flowpath 108 surrounding a central conduit 102 at such a velocity to cause the lighter component to move to an inner region of the flowpath to be collected in the central conduit. The method and system are particular suitable for the separation of oil droplets from water, especially from water for reinjection into a subterranean formation as part of an oil and gas production operation. The method and system are conveniently applied on a modular basis.

Title: A single-package optical proximity detector with an internal light baffle
Inventor: CAMPBELL COLIN
IPC: H01L25/16
Filed: 2010-11-30
Abstract: A single-package optical proximity detector with an internal light baffle. The sensitivity of an integrated optical proximity detector is improved at low cost by bending upwards a portion 40 of an attachment pad 8 during stamping of the lead frame, thus forming an internal light baffle to reduce internal propagation of radiation between the emitter 2 and the detector 4. Internal propagation may be further reduced by a groove 44 formed in the surface of the transparent moulding, the surfaces 48 and 50 being respectively perpendicular and parallel to rays emanating from the emitter 2. The location of the detector and emitter within a single unit permits close control of the emitter by circuits packaged within the detector. The detector 4 may comprise an array of photodiodes operating as SPADs or in photoconductive mode. Collimating Fresnel lenses (13, figure 1) may be formed in the surface of the moulding. Proximity of an object may be determined by time of flight measurement or by phase-shift techniques (figure 8). The proximity sensor may be used in a mobile phone (20,41, figure 7).

Patent GB-2480901-A (GB)
Title: Control of a brushless motor
Inventor: CHEN YU
IPC: H02P6/00
Filed: 2011-04-14
Abstract: Control of a brushless permanent-magnet motor comprises rectifying an alternating voltage to provide a rectified voltage and exciting a winding of the motor with the rectified voltage. When current in the winding exceeds a threshold the winding is freewheeled for a freewheel period that is updated in response to a zero-crossing in the alternating voltage. The freewheel period can be updated at the start of a half period of the alternating voltage following a zero crossing and adjusted according to the motor speed or the RMS value of the alternating voltage and be constant over each half-cycle of the alternating voltage. Updating the freewheel period may comprise indexing a stored lookup table of control values, used to determine the period, a control value being selected using speed or voltage. The rectified voltage can have a ripple of at least 50%. The motor can be repeatedly excited and freewheeled over an electrical half cycle of the motor depending on whether the winding current is less than the threshold, which can be proportional to the rectified voltage.

Title: Obfuscating communications using changes to transmission characteristics signalled within messages preferably for wired garage door openers
Inventor: LAIRD EDWARD T
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2011-06-23
Abstract: The embodiments disclose the transmission of rolling codes from moveable barrier (eg garage door) remote controls. The rolling codes are further obfuscated by varying the characteristics of the transmission (eg data rate, spreading, modulation, frequency, formatting, bit permutation, bit inversion). Part of the rolling code 806 corresponds with the transmission characteristic to be used 804 and is sent with one format (ie in the clear). The chosen characteristic is applied 801 to the remainder of the rolling code 803. At the receiver the clear characteristic selector is recovered and the appropriate characteristic is then used to recover the remaining rolling code. The claims generalise this system to cover arbitrarily selecting a transmission format, applying it to some data and transmitting the formatted data along with a format identifier over any wired link.

The co-operating base station is configured to receive user data for communicating to the communications terminal via an interface between the serving base station and the co-operating base station, and to transmit the user data selectively to the communications terminal consequent upon a state of a radio communications channel established via the wireless access interface under the control of the serving base station. The mobile communications network is configured to monitor a state of the radio communications channel between the co-operating base station and the communications terminal, and consequent upon predetermined conditions, to establish a communications bearer from the core network to the co-operating base station for communicating the user data to the coÂ­operating base station for transmitting the user data to the communications terminal. Accordingly, a bandwidth requirement of the interface between the serving base station and the cooperating base station can be reduced.
