Abstract: A graphic user interface is provided on a mobile telephone (10) having a screen (12) and control buttons (14) which move and select choices. The screen (12) comprises a viewing area (18), for viewing icons (16), a context area (20) and a selection area (22). A first icon (16), in the viewing area (18), has associated choices (24) displayed. Movement of a choice (24) into the selection area (22) causes the selected item (30) to become the selected second icon (30) in the wiewing area (18), the choices (24B) of the second icon (30) are displayed, and the first icon (16) moves up the context area (20), showing precedence over the second icon (30). Selection (22) of a choice (24B) from the second icon causes a third icon (36) to be in the viewing area(18), the first icon (16) to move further up the context area (20), the second icon (30) to join the first icon (16) in the context area, and further choices (24C) to be displayed for the third icon (36). The sequence of operations continues for further icons. A choice icon can comprise graphic or pictographic images.

Title: Receiver for compensating nonlinearly distorted multicarrier signals
Inventor: ZHIDKOV SERGEY
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2004-10-28
Abstract: An OFDM receiver which compensates for high power amplifier non-linear distortion is disclosed. The receiver processes a first biststream (Rk<(eq)>) and generates an estimation symbol stream ( <EMI ID=2.1 HE=6 WI=5 LX=1328 LY=569 TI=UI> <PC>). By using error information (Rk<(eq)>- ) and distortion information , which are calculated by using the first bitstream (Rk<(eq)>) and the estimation symbol stream ( ), and the CSI in a least mean square algorithm, the receiver estimates amplifier parameter information (API). Then, the receiver subtracts a compensation signal ( <EMI ID=2.2 HE=6 WI=5 LX=745 LY=996 TI=UI> <PC>), which is calculated by using the distortion information <EMI ID=2.3 HE=7 WI=19 LX=545 LY=1087 TI=UI> <PC>and the amplifier parameter information (API), from the first bitstream (Rk<(eq)>), and outputs the subtraction result as an output bitstream (Rk<(comp)>). Accordingly, a demodulation signal with an improved SER can be obtained through a subsequent decoding processing end. Nonlinear distortion of the received multicarrier signal is compensated for even though an accurate transfer function of a high power amplifier (HPA) is not known and side information or a special training signal is not transmitted when a signal is transmitted.

Title: Securing stored data on a user interactive electronic communications device
Inventor: MORRIS TONY
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: An accessing system for a user interactive electronic communications device is disclosed. The accessing system comprises a general data interactive zone accessible via a first user input access protocol and a secure data interactive zone accessible via a security user input access protocol.

Title: Controlling movable barrier using location zones.
Inventor: FITZGIBBON JAMES J
IPC: E05F15/20
Filed: 2005-04-26
Abstract: At least two zones, 21, 22, 23 are established along the course of permitted travel of a movable barrier (typically between a fully open and a fully closed position). After a triggering condition, such as loss of power or momentary disconnection of the barrier from its drive mechanism, the exact position of the barrier may not be known. By determining the zone in which the barrier is located, and driving the barrier in a particular direction based on the determined zone, the barrier can be directed to pass a location at which its position is precisely known (a passpoint), so as to recalibrate the system. Two zones may cover substantially all of the permitted travel of the barrier or there may be three or more zones. Adjacent zones may overlap.

IPC: G03F1/00
Filed: 2005-05-03
Abstract: Disclosed is a near-field exposure method and apparatus, a near-field exposure mask, and a device manufacturing method, wherein exposure is carried out on the basis of near field light. Specifically, the near-field exposure method disclosed is arranged so that a pressure difference is applied to between a front face and a rear face of an elastically deformable exposure mask to cause deformation of the exposure mask in accordance with a substrate to be exposed and to cause the exposure mask surface to follow a surface irregularity state of the substrate such that these surfaces are closely contacted to each other, for exposure based on near field light. The pressure difference applied to between the front and rear faces of the exposure mask is set at a predetermnined pressure difference corresponding to surface roughness of the substrate to be exposed.

Title: Reflection type screen
Inventor: TAKIGUCHI HARUHISA
IPC: E06B9/00
Filed: 2003-10-06
Abstract: A reflection type screen (1) is capable of forming a projection image that is bright, highly contrasted and clear even in a well-lighted room. The reflection type screen (1) comprises a reflecting layer (30) installed on the back side relative to the incident plane for projection light, a horizontal view angle enlarging layer (20) installed on the incident side of the reflection layer (30) and improving the horizontal view angle for projection light projected, and a diffusion layer (40) installed on the incident side of the horizontal view angle enlarging layer (20). The horizontal view angle enlarging layer (20) has a raised lenticular prism or wave-shaped ridge on the back side, the longitudinal direction of the ridge coinciding with the vertical direction of the reflection type screen (1), thereby improving the horizontal view angle property of the screen (1), and suppressing the vertical diffusion property, so as to prevent the disturbance light, such as illumination light, coming from above from being reflected in the direction of the viewer. Thereby, it is possible to cope with a large screen, highly contrasted even in a well-lighted room, providing a reflection type screen that does not cause a deterioration in CCR (center/periphery brightness ratio).

Title: Hydraulic control apparatus
Inventor: KOBAYASHI MASAYUKI
IPC: F15B11/20
Filed: 2005-12-28
Abstract: A hydraulic control apparatus prevents occurrence of hunting and improves operation efficiency through conducting bleed off under relatively low load operation. The hydraulic control apparatus is provided with a variable capacity pump 7, a first change over valve group A arranged to have load sensing function, a second change over valve group B which is arranged downstream of an open and close motion valve 136 and a compensation valve 138 connected downstream of the open and close motion valve, which constitute a pressure compensation flow control means. A hydraulic passage 148A is formed for bleeding off in the compensation valve 138, wherein the bleeding off is selectively conducted in accordance with a state of operation in the hydraulic circuit. In case of a relatively small demand for flow rate in the hydraulic circuit, such as during the sole operation for revolution, bleeding off is conducted so as to suppress hunting. In case of a high demand for flow rate in the hydraulic circuit because of complexity operation, combining heavy load with revolution operation, bleeding off is not conducted.

Title: Allocating sub-carriers and time slots in a wireless OFDM system with overlapping TDM coverage using swarm meta heuristic
Inventor: GRANDBLAISE DAVID
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2006-07-05
Abstract: A TDM OFDM system has data and contention time slots. During contention slots terminal nodes (101,103,105) transmit a request signal to a central node/base station/access point (107,109) indicating their desire to use that sub-carrier which also indicates the quality of the channel. The central node then responds indicating the best and worst channel qualities of the requests. Terminals with low channel quality then drop out of the competition and the cycle repeats iteratively until only a single node is left, which then gains use of that sub-carrier in the ensuing data slot. The central nodes have overlapping coverage. Therefore a terminal may contend for sub-carriers from a plurality of central nodes that is in range of. The system may impose limits on how many sub-carriers a terminal may contend for, either in total or per central node. A time slot manager (113) monitors the traffic at the central nodes and assigns contention and data slots to each in response to the level of traffic requests in order to maximise utilisation of the network.
