Patent GB-2455555-A (GB)
Title: A receiver amplifier with adaptive bias for large dynamic range
Inventor: MALKA HAIM
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2007-12-14
Abstract: A strong off channel signal can cause compression in the receiver amplifier of a mobile TETRA terminal, thereby distorting on-channel signals and reducing dynamic range. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and noise figure are reduced because the gain for on-channel signals falls. To counteract these effects the bias current is increased when compression is sensed trough a fall in the bias node voltage VB (figure 2). For example, where the device 101 is an NPN bipolar transistor, a strong RF signal at node 103 leads to a fall in the DC voltage at the base node. The comparator 137, which may have hysteresis, responds to a fall in VB by signalling the current controller 131 to supply more bias current to the amplifying device 101.

Title: Utilising a semi-martingale algorithm for predicting the motion of a target
Inventor: ALFRED DR SCHOTTL
IPC: F41G7/22
Filed: 2008-04-16
Abstract: A method is disclosed for ascertaining the motion of at least one target object (A, B, B1, B2). The method comprises a mathematical method of estimation with the aid of a filter solution for estimating and predicting the position and/or orientation of the target object. The filter solution utilises a semi-martingale algorithm. The method is particularly suited for predicting the motion of a highly moveable target such as a ballistic missile B so that it may be intercepted by an interceptor missile C. The motion of the ballistic missile B can be predicted via a semi-martingale process such that abrupt changes in flight motion of the target can be reliably predicted.

Title: Fully biodegradable adhesives
Inventor: ROSCOE PAUL HOWARD JAMES
IPC: C08K5/00
Filed: 2008-09-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a range of fully biodegradable and compostable adhesives, which will find major use in attaching labels and tapes to the packaging of supermarket goods. In addition the adhesives can be used in the fabrication of cartons, boxes and envelopes. These adhesives comprise of a proprietary copolymer formed by polymerisation of an alkyl polyglycoside maleic acid ester with a vinyl monomer mixed with an aliphatic hydrocarbon resin dispersion. The desired properties of the adhesive are enhanced by the incorporation of a range of additives which include synthetic proteins, sugars, metallic carboxylates, polyhydric alcohols and most importantly wheat based protein copolymers. Premature microbial degradation of the adhesives is prevented by the inclusion of an isoazolinone. When these components are mixed together in critical stoichiometric proportions ,a synergistic effect occurs resulting in a range of novel adhesives which for the first time pass all criteria for biodegradable materials testing according to European Packaging standard.
