Patent GB-2330718-A (GB)
Title: Evaluation of laser Doppler signals
Inventor: DAMMANN EHRHARD
IPC: G01S17/58
Filed: 1998-09-25
Abstract: A method for evaluating laser Doppler signals from a laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) which retains the advantages of conventional frequency tracking demodulation and permits dependable velocity measurement even for extremely low velocities and discontinuous particle flows. A signal containing the Doppler frequency (fD) is compared after bandpass filtering with a sequence of four state intervals (63) generated in an orthogonal frequency system (6). A change in the phase relative to the orthogonal system triggers a compensation of the change in Doppler frequency by generating a regulated mixing frequency (fM) which is coupled into the LDA, and the mixing frequency, as an equivalent of the Doppler frequency, is likewise compared with an orthogonal frequency system and, as a result of the invertible 1-to-1 sequence of state intervals, is evaluated such that the direction is designated.
Patent GB-2326380-A (GB)
Title: Inflatable structure,in particular a life float
Inventor: NISSEN RICHARDT BRODERSEN
IPC: B63C9/02
Filed: 1997-04-03
Abstract: In inflatable large-size structures such as life boats it is required that an external and easily accessible gas cylinder is hose-connected with a plurality of mutually separated injection areas, because the gas medium, by evaporation and expansion, is strongly cold generating, such that at each injection area there will potentially exist choking ice formations, This can be counteracted by distributing the injection over more areas or spots in order to achieve a more rapid and effective transfer of heat from the surroundings for making sure that the inflation can take place in a desirably rapid manner. Conventionally this implies that the structure exhibits exposed connector hoses to the different injection spots, these hoses causing troubles in use of the structure. With the invention it has been recognized that the relevant distribution system may be arranged in the interior of the structure, whereby these troublesome exterior hoses can be entirely avoided.

Patent GB-2330468-A (GB)
Title: Using class C amplifiers in an amplifier array
Inventor: DENT PAUL W
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 1995-01-11
Abstract: An amplifier for linearly amplifying a signal using a pair of non-linear amplifiers 57 is described. A hard limiter 50 (figure 5) separates the input signal into a constant amplitude signal bearing the phase of the input and an amplitude related signal. Using the latter the function generator 62 develops two outputs (labelled cos (#) and sin (#), the sum of whose squared amplitudes is constant. These are each combined in 56 with a signal related to the constant amplitude signal to produce two constant amplitude signals for amplification by the pair of amplifiers. These produce an amplified output and a waste signal 61. This basic arrangement is used in a matrix amplifier (figure 6) for amplifying a plurality of input signals using at least twice the plurality of amplifiers. Various other arrangements are described including: use of a matrix of amplifiers responding to a plurality of inputs to increase the flexibility of use and the disposal (eg by radiation into a harmless direction) or recovery of energy of intermodulation products.
Patent GB-2346558-A (GB)
Title: Laparoscopic perpendicular clip applier
Inventor: EL-BANNA MOHEY-EDDIN RAGAB
IPC: A61B17/128
Filed: 1999-02-11
Abstract: The conventional clip appliers used in laparoscopic and open surgery have their clips in line with the shaft of the appliers. The open ends of the clip face downward and the limbs of the clip are vertical. This construction may cause problems by entrapping tissues and structures between the posterior limb of the clip and the structure to be clipped. Besides it limits the surgeon's ability of clipping to only one plane. The laparoscopic perpendicular clip applier provides clipping between two horizontal parallel limbs one above the other in a plane perpendicular to that of the shaft of the clip applier. A clip-applying compartment that has upper and lower jaws and a blind lower can achieve this. This provides safer application of the clips. The posterior aspect of the structure to be clipped is protected. Moreover it enables a wide range of maneuvering and application of the clips in areas not reachable by the conventional clip appliers.
