Patent GB-2511733-A (GB)
Title: 2G support for 2G and 3G/4G envelope tracking modulator
Inventor: WIMPENNY GERARD
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2013-02-01
Abstract: An amplification stage has an envelope tracking modulated supply for tracking a reference signal 10, in which a low frequency path 16 tracks low frequency variations in the reference signal and provides a first output voltage, and a high frequency path 14 tracks high frequency variations in the reference signal and provides a second output voltage. A combiner 26 combines the first and second output voltages to provide a third output voltage. A first amplifier receives the first output voltage as a supply voltage, and a second amplifier receives the third output voltage as a supply voltage and the first and second amplifiers are enabled in different modes of operation. The high frequency path can have a linear amplifier 24 that is enabled/disabled with second amplifier 204 and a feedback path 36 allowing amplification of a full spectrum of reference signal 10. The two amplifiers can be disabled/enabled alternately. First amplifier 202 can selectively receive a DC voltage when the power in the low frequency path is above a threshold. The stage can be used in a wireless mobile communications device, using first amplifier 202 in a 2G or EDGE mode and second amplifier 204 in a 3G/4G mode.

Title: Electrochemically powered integrated circuit package
Inventor: BRUNSCHWILER THOMAS J
IPC: H01L23/58
Filed: 2011-08-04
Abstract: The invention is notably directed to an integrated circuit package (10c). Said package has a layer structure with ICs and electrodes (17) arranged in electrical connection with a layer (16) of the layer structure. The package further comprises one or more fluid circuit sections (19), each meant to receive a respective electrolyte solution (or two distinct solutions, see the dual flow redox mode described below). Each solution involved has soluble electroactive species. A fluid section is designed to receive and allow an electrolyte solution to contact corresponding electrodes, such as to supply power to the ICs, in operation. As electrodes are integrated to the package, electrical power can be supplied close to the ICs, thereby improving efficiency of the power supply. Finally, as a liquid is involved in-situ, suitable heat removal can be contemplated, it being noted that electrical power delivery and heat removal needs are congruent.

Title: Temperature sensing sootblower
Inventor: BREEDING CHARLIE L
IPC: F28G1/16
Filed: 2011-01-21
Abstract: A temperature sensing sootblower that may be configured as a modification to an existing sootblower or a specially constructed sootblower that, in addition to its normal soot blowing functions, has the capability to measure the flue gas, lance tube, and/or cleaning fluid temperatures. One or more thermocouples or other temperature measuring devices are carried by the sootblower lance tube that is inserted into the boiler.

Title: Determining integrity of braking control system
Inventor: HOWELL GEORGE
IPC: B64C25/42
Filed: 2014-07-18
Abstract: A method of determining the integrity of an electric or hydraulic energy source of a braking control system. The energy source is charged or discharged, and two or more measurements of voltage or hydraulic pressure are taken from the braking control system. A difference between at least two of the measurements is determined in order to determine a change or rate of change in voltage or hydraulic pressure caused by the charging or discharging of the energy source. The integrity of the energy source is determined by checking whether the change or rate of change in voltage or hydraulic pressure meets predetermined criteria.

Title: Output signal generation circuitry for converting an input signal from a source voltage domain into an output signal for a destination voltage domain
Inventor: DEY RANABIR
IPC: H03K19/0185
Filed: 2014-07-30
Abstract: The tracking overvoltage protection circuits 280A-280D, which each comprise a stack of transistors, allow the use of low voltage transistors in a CMOS voltage level converter operating with a high supply voltage DVDD. Speed-up circuits 180A and 180B, responsive respectively to the voltages at nodes Y and X, provide faster pull-down and pull-up of node C by turning on transistors M14 and M6 respectively. The relatively slow operation of the PMOS tracking circuits 280C and 280A is thus overcome. The tracking circuits 280A and 280C may be bypassed 210 when the supply voltage DVDD is not high.
