Title: Soft handover in CDMA broadcast/multicast system.
Inventor: PARK JOON-GOO
IPC: H04B1/7073
Filed: 2003-04-24
Abstract: In an asynchronous mobile communication system supporting multicast multimedia broadcast service (MBMS), when a user equipment (UE) moves to a region where it can receive form a plurality of Node Bs, soft handover may be performed. However the transmissions from neighbouring Node Bs will in general be time displaced owing to the asynchronous nature of the communication system. The invention provides that if the time difference between the starting points of corresponding received system frames from each Node B is determined and sent to the resource network controller (RNC), the difference can then be communicated to the Node Bs and adjustments in timing made, such that the UE may receive the two data streams simultaneously making soft combination simpler.

Title: An air bag vent aperture of variable size
Inventor: BRADBURN ALAN
IPC: B60R21/239
Filed: 2005-01-05
Abstract: An air-bag 1 is provided with a vent aperture 2. A membrane 3 extends across the vent aperture, the membrane defining a smaller aperture 4 than the vent aperture 2. The membrane is formed of an elastic material such as a silicone rubber material. When a very high pressure exists in the air-bag the vent becomes deformed, thus increasing the size of the aperture defined by the membrane, permitting a relatively large flow of air from the air-bag to reduce the pressure within the air-bag.

Title: Frequency offset error correction in MIMO OFDM-based WLAN receivers
Inventor: SANDELL MAGNUS
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2005-01-07
Abstract: In a multiple in multiple out (MIMO) wireless network (WLAN) receiver using OFDM, frequency offset errors resulting from inaccuracies in the phase lock loop (PLL, 4), carrier frequency oscillator (2Rx, error =   b  ) or sampling clock (3Rx, error =  a  ) are corrected according to estimates of the phase rotation between adjacent pilot symbols (xk and xk+1) on each channel, which are weighted according to a quality parameter such as error variance of the phase rotation. The weighted pilot offsets of each sub-carrier are then used to compensate for receiver frequency receiver offsets via a least squares it analysis. Minimisation of the phase rotation (the square of the magnitude of the phase difference e<j  d  > between the received signals <B>r1</B> and <B>r2</B>) provides an "effective SNR" (SNReq) of each sub-carrier but requires no channel estimate H, avoiding channel estimation error effects. Coherent detection is an alternative to this differential detection, but in both cases the quality parameter which determines the weighting is dependent on the error variance.

Title: Three-dimensional colour chart
Inventor: BREMER-TRAINOR MICHAEL
IPC: G01J3/52
Filed: 2005-09-12
Abstract: A colour system comprises a series of 3-dimensional blocks wherein the embodiment comprises five elementary colours, Red (R), Yellow (Y), Blue (B), Black (Z) and White (A), combined in such ways as to provide all possible combinations. The system derives from a simple colour wheel where Pure Brown is at the centre and at the perimeter red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet are spaced equally at 60{ and the colours in between are graduations of these colours. The Pure brown is an unequal combination of Red, Yellow and Blue producing a neutral colour without bias towards any one primary and which graduates towards the perimeter with increasing amounts of a primary or secondary colour with the simultaneous decrease of its complimentary. The system may be implemented by way of a book or computer display, as a physical colour chart, a system for defining colours, a data base of colours, a computer, a printer, a paint mixing apparatus or a method of matching a colour.
