Patent CA-2840958-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MACREADY WILLIAM G
IPC: G06N99/00
Filed: 2012-07-06
Abstract: Quantum processor based techniques minimize an objective function for example by operating the quantum processor as a sample generator providing low-energy samples from a probability distribution with high probability. The probability distribution is shaped to assign relative probabilities to samples based on their corresponding objective function values until the samples converge on a minimum for the objective function. Problems having a number of variables and/or a connectivity between variables that does not match that of the quantum processor may be solved. Interaction with the quantum processor may be via a digital computer. The digital computer stores a hierarchical stack of software modules to facilitate interacting with the quantum processor via various levels of programming environment, from a machine language level up to an end-use applications level.

Patent CA-2848419-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OZAWA ROBERT
IPC: A61N1/378
Filed: 2012-09-27
Abstract: The disclosed system for providing closed loop charging between an external charger and an implantable medical device such as an IPG involves the use of reflected impedance modulation, i.e., by measuring at the external charger reflections arising from modulating the impedance of the charging coil in the IPG. During charging, the charging coil in the IPG is periodically pulsed to modulate its impedance. The magnitude of the change in the coil voltage produced at the external charger ?V as a result of these pulses is assessed and is used by the controller circuitry in the external charger as indicative of the coupling between the external charger and the IPG. The external charger adjusts its output power (e.g., Icharge) in accordance with the magnitude of ?V, thus achieving closed loop charging without the need of telemetering coupling parameters from the IPG.

Title: Telecommunications systems and methods for machine type communication
Inventor: BEALE MARTIN
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2012-12-17
Abstract: A method for communicating data between a base station and a terminal device in a wireless telecommunications system is described, for example an LTE-based system. The wireless communication system uses a plurality of frequency sub-carriers spanning a system frequency band. Physical-layer control information for the terminal device is transmitted from the base station using sub-carriers selected from across the system frequency band, for example to provide frequency diversity. However, higher-layer data for the terminal device is transmitted using only sub-carriers selected from within a restricted frequency band which is smaller than and within the system frequency band. The terminal device is aware of the restricted frequency band, and as such need only buffer and process data within this restricted frequency band during periods where higher-layer data is being transmitted. The terminal device buffers and processes the full system frequency band during periods when physical- layer control information is being transmitted. Thus, a terminal device may be incorporated in a network in which physical-layer control information is transmitted over a wide frequency range, but only needs to have sufficient memory and processing capacity to process a smaller range of frequencies for the higher-layer data.
