Title: Filter for crest factor reduction (CFR) of transmit signals
Inventor: SMART CHRISTOPHER BRIAN
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2011-04-05
Abstract: In a filter 300 for crest factor reduction (CFR) of transmit signals, a signal is applied to a delay line having a number of taps 302 and respective weighting coefficients W of a windowing function are applied to the tap outputs to generate weighted outputs. Unlike a conventional Finite Impulse Response Filter (FIR) in which weighted outputs are combined, the filter repeatedly selects the weighted output with the highest value 306. The selected output may then be smoothed by passing it through a moving average filter comprising a further delay line 306. The averaged output is then used as the filtered signal. The signal may be a scaling factor which has been generated from a transmit signal, with the filtered scaling signal then being applied to the transmit signal to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmit signal (see figure 7). The filter may be used in a WCDMA femtocell transmitter.

Title: Determining user availability by monitoring activity, specifically keywords in open documents, with automated telecommunication invitation response
Inventor: KLEMM REINHARD PETER
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2010-03-15
Abstract: The invention monitors a wide variety of activity at a user telecommunication terminal which is input into a policy to determine an availability score. The importance of incoming telecommunication invitations is also determined 350 and compared to the availability score. From this a decision to accept/reject the invitation is made 360 and a response issued 370. The response may include redirection to another communication means or a more convenient time. Monitored activity may include uniform resource locators/identifiers (URL/URI) of web-sites or documents being viewed, keywords in text being viewed/edited 320, keystroke rates, memory access frequencies, cache miss rates, peripheral usage 330. External sensors may also be utilised, such as cameras, motion sensors, temperature sensors 340. In the event that an invitation is rejected the caller may enter a password which can override the availability determination and force acceptance of the communication session 380. The claims relate to the monitoring of keywords in open documents.

Title: Method for protecting resistive ac load from being shorted, device and switch
Inventor: WANG XIANFANG
IPC: H02H3/08
Filed: 2009-12-30
Abstract: A method for protecting a resistive AC load from being shorted includes the following steps: turning on an active controlled switch by a first conduction angle (S12); obtaining the current mean value of the load through a current detecting circuit; determining whether the current mean value of the load is greater than a preset value (S16), if so, the active controlled switch is controlled to be turned off (S17), and if not, the active controlled switch is controlled to be turned on (S18). A device for protecting a resistive AC load from being shorted and a switch are also provided. With determining whether the load is shorted in a range of the first conduction angle in which the switch may not be destroyed, the switch and the circuit connected with the load can be protected while the shorted resistive AC load is detected.

Patent GB-2494504-A (GB)
Title: Providing advertisements from an access point involving parsing content
Inventor: CURRY PAUL
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2012-07-31
Abstract: A service provider such as a Wifi access point may deliver targeted brand content (or adverts) based on information communicated over the network of the service provider. The communications network comprises an access point providing a link to a client device. Upon receiving a request form the client device for content, the in-line server determines the communications environment and forwards the request to a web server. On receiving content from the web-server a script is inserted in a parsed section of the web content, which is determined as being in an appropriate position for the communications environment. The script causes the client to request content from a brand content server. A communications socket is established between the brand content server and the client to pass commands, debug and other useful information. The monitoring may take account of the type of client, and its display type, size, orientation, mode, touch sensitivity; the communications protocol, web language and executable script language. The access point may be a wireless, cable or optical link.

Title: Integrated circuit system with a high-power chip and a low-power chip
Inventor: YEE ABRAHAM F
IPC: H01L23/538
Filed: 2012-08-30
Abstract: An IC system includes one or more low-power chips 102, e.g., memory chips, located proximate one or more higher power chips 101, e.g., logic chips, without suffering the effects of overheating. The IC system includes a high-power chip disposed on a packaging substrate 110 and a low-power chip embedded in the packaging substrate to form a stack. Because portions of the packaging substrate thermally insulate the low-power chip from the high-power chip, the low-power chip can be embedded in the IC system in close proximity to the high-power chip without being overheated by the high-power chip. Such close proximity between the low-power chip and the high-power chip advantageously shortens the path length of interconnects therebetween, which improves device performance and reduces interconnect parasitics in the IC system. An interposer (350, figure 3) may be provided on which the high-power chip and other external chips may be disposed.

Title: Method and apparatus
Inventor: MCLEOD STUART
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2013-08-06
Abstract: An apparatus comprises an image sensor 46 having a plurality of pixels, a motion detector gyroscope 30, and a motion compensator in the form of an optical image stabiliser (OIS) 34. The motion compensator controls a position of said image sensor during image capture. A first frame captured by the image sensor is displaced by a fraction of an amount of a pixel in the horizontal, vertical, diagonal direction(s) with respect to at least one other frame captured by said image sensor.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for searching resources via a Web application (e.g. a portal, user interface) includes associating a resource (pictures, video, sound etc.) with at least one resource type (e.g. hotel, car, book, etc.). A first search request is initiated via a search engine interface 808. A search result based on the first search request and associated resource types are received. The received associated resource types are mapped to at least one class of user interface controls (e.g. interactive elements in a portal adapted to receive user commands, sliders 810, checkboxes 812), resulting in at least one selected group of classes of user interface controls. The at least one selected group of classes of user interface controls is dynamically mapped to a corresponding instance of user interface controls and rendered together with the search result into a faceted user interface 802 (e.g. multi-criteria filtering). After receiving input via the rendered instances of the user interface controls, the received search results are filtered and rendered together with the faceted search interface.

Filed: 2013-10-07
Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing graphics primitives for display is disclosed. The apparatus comprises in sequence: rasterization circuitry, depth testing circuitry and rendering circuitry. The depth testing circuitry determines if a selected graphics fragment would be obscured when displayed by comparing a depth comparison function and a depth value associated with the selected graphics fragment with a stored depth value.
