IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2008-12-18
Abstract: A wireless base unit receiver architecture 106 for processing an uplink composite signal 112, the composite signal comprising one or more symbol streams from each of a plurality of mobile communication units (103, 104 fig. 1A). The composite signal is sampled 206 at a rate greater than or equal to the symbol rate followed by selection of a symbol sampling phase. A channel estimate 209, 210 of the one or more symbol streams of the signal for at least a subset of the communication units is determined at the selected sampling phase.

Title: Manufacturing wound laminated cores for electrical machines
Inventor: FELISA FRANCO
IPC: H02K1/14
Filed: 2012-11-15
Abstract: A laminated core for an electrical machine is manufactured by winding a stamped metal strip 4a, onto a mandrel to form a helical winding. The diameter of the mandrel is then increased to apply tensile strain to the wound strip, while the coils of the wound strip are held between clamps (fig 1, 24, 25). The coils of the wound strip are then fixed relative one to another while the coil is held at the increased diameter. The diameter of the mandrel is then reduced to disengage the laminated core from the mandrel. The mandrel can comprise a tubular main body and segments 23 that move radially, caused by axial movement of a cone (fig 5, 202) relative to the main body. The diameter of the mandrel can be increased while the mandrel is at or moving to a sizing station from a winding station; and decreased while it is at or moving to a discharge station. The coils can be fixed by welding 50 using three axial or helical lines of weld. There can be three mandrels that move between the winding, sizing/fixing and discharge stations using a turntable (fig 1, 11). Strip can be delivered to the winding station from a stamping station (fig 1, 3) via a buffering station (fig 1, 5).

Title: A power-on reset signal generator which can detect short transient dips in the power supply voltage
Inventor: FISHLEIGH ANDREW JAMES
IPC: G06F1/24
Filed: 2012-11-22
Abstract: A flip-flop 340 has a high logic level permanently connected to its D input and a power-on signal 307 coupled to the direct reset input RN so that when the signal 307 goes low, even briefly, the output 308 immediately follows and remains low until the clock edge after the return of the signal 307 to a high state. The optional second flip-flop 342 ensures that any low transient, of even very short duration, in signal 307 causes signal 309 to be low for a minimum of one clock cycle.Â The optional further flip-flops 344 and 348 provide metastability protection. The low state of the output 313 indicates that signals from a monitored circuit, such as a non-volatile memory subject to short voltage dips, may be unreliable. The multiplexer 323 allows scan testing of the circuit by providing a controllable hard reset.

Title: Enhancement of analyte detection by formation of dimer analytes in IMS
Inventor: BÄTHER WOLFGANG
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2012-12-19
Abstract: A method for identification of analytes with an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) 1 includes performing a series of measurements while varying the residence time of the analytes in the reaction space 2 and identifying monomer and nascent dimer analytes in the resultant spectra. Increasing the residence time of the analytes in the reaction space of the IMS results in dimers being formed and fewer monomers. The residence time is the time between an ionization pulse and the start of the transfer process to the drift space 8. Detection of the dimer molecules and a fall in the number of monomer molecules leads to an enhancement in analyte identification.

IPC: H01J49/14
Filed: 2013-02-19
Abstract: An analytical apparatus 1 for mass spectrometry comprises an electron impact ioniser including an electron emitter 22 and an ionisation target zone 18 which is populated with matter to be ionised for analysis. An electron extracting element 36 is aligned with an electron pathway 34 defined between the electron emitter 22 and the ionisation target zone 18; and accelerates electrons away from the emitter 22 along the electron pathway 34 between the emitter 22 and the extracting element 36; and decelerates the electrons along the electron pathway 34 between the extracting element 36 and the ionisation target zone 18. A positive potential difference between the emitter and extraction element 36 can be greater than that between the emitter and target zone. The ionisation apparatus can be used in a time of flight mass spectrometer (fig 2) to enable soft ionisation while avoiding the effects of coulombic repulsion at the electron source 22. Analyte molecules may be ionised by accelerating electrons to a target volume for a first period using a first energy, discontinuing, then recommencing electron flow for a second period using a different energy.

Title: A system for use on a vehicle
Inventor: WELLS ANDY
IPC: G08G1/0967
Filed: 2014-02-21
Abstract: A system (10, Fig.1) in a road vehicle determines whether it is crossing or approaching a border with a neighbouring region (e.g. a national or state frontier) by comparing its current position with geographical boundary data. If so, then region-specific data for the region ahead is obtained from an on-board or remote database (34, Fig.1) and communicated to the driver (e.g. by visual display or audio communication 20, Fig.1). The data may include speed limit data; Highway Code regulations; or road sign images with their meanings (40, 42, Fig.3). The system may also configure a vehicle setting according to the region-specific data (e.g. adjusting an adaptive cruise control system or a headlight beam pattern for a left- or right-hand drive country). A camera (38, Fig.1) may capture an image of a road sign and compare this to the region-specific data to inform the driver of its meaning.

Title: Charging plate for enhancing multiply charged ions by laser desportion
Inventor: BROWN JEFFERY MARK
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2014-03-05
Abstract: A sample plate 1 for an ion source is disclosed comprising a plurality of ionization regions each having first and second electrodes 4 separated by an insulator 4a, a DC or AC voltage being applied therebetween. Droplets 3 of, for example, liquid matrix are deposited on the sample support so as to extend between said first and second electrodes, an electrical pathway being thereby provided via said droplets. Upon desorption by a laser 5 or, alternatively, by using sonic, electrical, spark, or mechanical energy, the droplets of charged liquid retain a high charge imbalance, and preferably then collide with an energy imparting device such as the heated vacuum inlet tube 6 of a mass spectrometer 7. The evaporation/shearing/desolvation of droplets within the transfer tube 6 increases the generation of multiply charged ions. The sample plate may also be used in the field of MS-imaging.
