Title: Circuit which allows read and write operation to a register file bit cell array at a lower supply voltage without increasing the area.
Inventor: HWANG SEUNG H
IPC: G11C7/10
Filed: 2011-03-25
Abstract: A register file is coupled to logic that reduces the contention between the NMOS devices and the PMOS devices in each bit cell of the register file during write and/or read operations, and hence the register file is able to operate at a lower minimum voltage. In one embodiment, the write bit line 150 (or data line) is directly connected to the gate of a PMOS switching device 342, which connects the power supply 360 to a first internal supply bus VCC_A, when write bit line is low. The complement write bit line 155 (or data line) is directly connected to the gate of PMOS device 346, and connects supply 360 to a second internal supply bus VCC_B, when complement write bit line is low. The first supply buses VCC_A , provides the supply voltage for one half of each of the cross coupled logic gates 111 forming the memory cells, whilst the second supply bus VCC_B provides power for the other half 112 of each of the cells. Hence, depending on the state of the write bit data line, in write mode, only one half of the bit cells are directly connected to the supply 360, by means of PMOS switches 342,346. In order to prevent the unconnected half of the memory cells from floating, an equalizer circuit, (or clamp) comprising of two weak PMOS devices in series, 352,350 connects the first and second supply busses VCC_A and VCC_B together. Also in the same embodiment, a read retention circuit is included, which connects a write enable signal 380 to the gate of two PMOS devices 344, 348, allowing the potential of both VCC_A and VCC_B to return to that of the power supply 360, during the read or inactive operation.

Patent GB-2479672-A (GB)
Title: Noise reduction system for earphones controlled by detected head movement
Inventor: SIBBALD ALASTAIR
IPC: G10K11/178
Filed: 2006-04-01
Abstract: A noise reduction control system for ear-worn speaker-carrying devices such as earphones 11. The system senses ambient noise, preferably via a microphone 10, and develops electrical signals which are used to reduce the amount of ambient noise audible to a wearer of the earphone 11. The system automatically responds to at least one controlling event to set the degree of noise reduction to one of a range of discrete setting levels. The controlling event is a function of detected changes in physical motion of the earphones 11, and is representative of movement of the head of the wearer. For example, the system could be arranged to activate the noise reduction function when the wearer's head is motionless, such as during sleep. Typically, the system employs active noise cancellation (ANC) techniques; this involves inverting and filtering the electrical signals relating to ambient noise and feeding the inverted and filtered signals to the speaker of the earphone 11 in time for the speaker to generate sounds capable of interfering destructively with the ambient noise.
Patent GB-2483358-A (GB)
Title: Markov parsing of email message using annotations
Inventor: SALAKA VAMSI
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2011-08-30
Abstract: An automated parser for e-mail messages may identify component parts such as header, body, signature, and disclaimer and store the assigned line type using an annotation. The parser uses a hidden Markov model (HMM) in which the lines making up an e mail may be treated as a sequence of observations of a system that evolves according to a Markov chain having states corresponding to the component parts. The HMM may be trained using a manually-annotated set of e-mail messages, then applied to parse other electronic mail messages. HMM-based parsing can be further refined or expanded using heuristic post-processing techniques that exploit redundancy of some component parts (e.g., signatures, disclaimers) across a corpus of e-mail messages.

Title: Display Package With Sloping Base
Inventor: WONNACOTT ROGER JOSEPH
IPC: B65D5/50
Filed: 2011-09-15
Abstract: A packaging carton of e.g. double faced corrugated paperboard comprises a ramp portion12 having tapering side panels 14 and a sloping panel 13 proving an internal base of the carton, a front wall 2 having a dispensing opening, the side panels 14 contacting a bottom panel of the carton and supporting the sloping panel. The dispensing opening may be formed by removing a portion of the front wall and a top wall 1 by means of perforations 5. A slot 16 may be formed in a crease line between the side panels and sloping panel. Inner 11, intermediate 18 and outer 8 panels forming the side of the carton may have corresponding shapes, a tab 9 depending from an angled edge of the outer panels engaging slot 16 to support the sloping panel and lock the inner, intermediate and outer panels in place (Figure 4). Alternatively the side walls may have tabs (114, Figure 6) engaging slots in a connecting rear panel. Rectangular separator panels with a friction reducing coating or varnish may be placed between layers of product. Thus when a product is removed from the front, products behind it roll or slide towards the opening for easy dispensing.

Title: Top connector for a subsea buoy
Inventor: PONTAUT DAVID
IPC: B63B22/04
Filed: 2011-11-22
Abstract: A top connector 12 for a tether 16 of a subsea buoy 14 comprises a support 28, a lever member 62 movable about a pivot axis, and a chain stop mechanism 64 mounted on the lever member to be situated below the pivot axis in use.
