Title: Multiple depth subterranean heat exchanger and installation method
Inventor: FORD CHRIS
IPC: F24J3/08
Filed: 2006-10-12
Abstract: A subterranean heat exchanger is constructed by forming a hole 14 directed, for example, between 0 and 30 degrees from the vertical, inserting a sleeve 16 into the hole and a fluid conduit 20 into the sleeve. The hole may be drilled and may be of similar dimensions to structural piles 6, have a diameter of 150mm to 400mm and be formed during construction of a building. Multiple holes of varying depths may be used and the deeper holes may be located closer to the centre of a building footprint. Their depths may be 6m to 26m and they may be 1.5m to 3m apart. The gap between the hole and the sleeve 18 may be filled by concrete and the sleeve may be made of metal, cardboard or plastic and form part of a closed circuit for a fluid. The conduit may be inserted after construction of the building or embedded in concrete and may be flexible and have sections of increased surface area 22, such as coiled sections, extending over all or part of the length of the hole and arranged such that heat exchange in each hole occurs over a depth range continuous with but not overlapping that in nearby holes. The conduit may be removable such that it can be easily replaced.

Title: Determining spatial power allocation and bit loading for a MIMO OFDM system without feedback information about the chanel
Inventor: POON ADA
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2005-09-30
Abstract: Spatial power allocation and bit loading of a MIMO System are performed based on pre-determined, expected values of spatial channel gains and SNRs of the spatial channels (correspond to different antennas). The expected values of spatial channel gains are calculated (64) based on a selected channel model (62). The SNRs of the spatial channels are then calculated based on water filling power allocation (66). Thus, no feedback information from the receiver about the spatial channels is necessary.

Title: Hydraulic Heating Apparatus
Inventor: ZAGNI JULIAN
IPC: F15B21/0427
Filed: 2007-07-30
Abstract: A hydraulic fluid heating apparatus 20 includes an inlet 1,21 for higher pressure fluid, an outlet 28 for lower pressure fluid and a flow path restriction 3a between the inlet and outlet through which higher pressure fluid passes to heat the apparatus. There is an orifice 3a, which may be the same as or additional to the restriction, through which the fluid flowing from the inlet to the outlet must pass and which is closable by a linearly acting closure structure 8 urged by a resilient device 7, e.g. a spring, to close the orifice when the high pressure fluid is below a threshold pressure. The closure structure includes a thermally sensitive material, e.g. paraffin wax, subjected to the fluid flowing to the outlet and expanding in response to increasing temperature to cause the closure of the orifice above a threshold temperature. May have a second, low pressure inlet 26 or separate heating fluid and system fluid outlets and may be installed in an aircraft hydraulics return line.

Title: Device and method for continuously variable transmission of traveling vehicle
Inventor: ITOU KOICHIRO
IPC: F16H47/02
Filed: 2006-07-04
Abstract: A device and a method for continuously variable transmission, wherein a variable displacement pump (1) and two variable displacement motors (2, 3) are connected to each other through a closed circuit. A first drive gear (6) to a fourth drive gear (9) are fitted to the motor shafts (18, 19) of the variable displacement motors (2, 3) through clutches (13a, 13b) and clutches (14a, 14b). A first driven gear (10) meshed with the first drive gear (6) and the third drive gear (8) and a second driven gear meshed with the second drive gear (7) and the fourth drive gear (9) are fitted to an output shaft (4). The equivalent capacities of the variable displacement motors (2, 3) are differentiated from each other, and a control to zero these capacities is performed in the descending order of the equivalent capacities. When the capacity of the variable displacement motor is decreased, the gear ratio of the variable displacement motor with a capacity reduced to zero is changed to reduce the equivalent capacity, and the capacity is increased to the maximum one. Thus, since the gear ratio of continuously variable transmission can be increased, a speed increasing control by increased continuously variable transmission can be performed.

Title: Fuel effect fire comprising fibre optic strands
Inventor: LYONS JOHN
IPC: F24C7/00
Filed: 2008-02-15
Abstract: A fuel effect electric fire comprises a motor driving a rotating coloured disc which is located above a light source, where changes in the colour of the light are transmitted along fibre optic strands protruding through holes between fuel pieces in a simulated fuel bed so as to imitate the burning embers of a fire. Preferably, the glow and intensity of the fuel effect can be adjusted by utilising a stronger light source and by employing designs on the coloured disc. The fuel effect may be modified by changing the positioning of the optical fibres that protrude between the fuel pieces. The fuel bed is preferably made from a moulded resin body.

Title: Communication system with an iteratively processed eigen-beamforming vector
Inventor: WANG YUE
IPC: H01Q3/00
Filed: 2008-03-14
Abstract: Communication apparatus or method comprising determining an eigen-beamforming vector for plural antennas using a channel matrix, rotating the eigen-beamforming vector into a reference direction and developing a candidate beamforming vector which is stored and compared with other candidate beamforming vectors to select the one which best meets one or more selection criteria. The candidate beamforming vector is developed from a compressed form of radiation pattern samples. An inverse fast Fourier transform may be applied to the vector. Then an algorithm which reduces the peak-to-average power ratio PAPR may be applied. One or more clipping functions, such as a soft clipping function, may be used in an iterative algorithm process. A fast Fourier transform is then applied to the vector and phase adjustments and rotation of the resulting vector may be applied before deciding if the resulting vector provides a maximum signal to noise ratio required or if further iterative processing through some of the above mentioned steps is required. Resultant vectors from a number of iterations may be stored as candidate beamforming vectors. The communication system provides a simple process for obtaining a near optimal performance of MIMO technology with an equivalent isotropic radiated power EIRP restriction.

Title: System for evicting or clearing data from a cache based on the eviction class tag of the data stored in the cache.
Inventor: HOLMQVIST PETER B
IPC: G06F12/12
Filed: 2009-11-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a system for evicting, clearing, deleting or removing data from a level 2 memory cache, based on the eviction class of the data. The system has a tag store unit that stores a different entry for each of the cache lines associated with the cache. Each entry includes a tag indicating the eviction class and the state ie clean/unclean and unpinned/pinned, associated with the data stored in the cache line. The eviction class indicates the likelihood that data stored in the cache will be reused by one of the clients. When the tag look-up unit receives a command from a client including an address, the look-up unit identifies the cache lines that might store data based on the received address. The look-up unit then determines if there is a cache miss, and if there is it causes data residing in cache lines to be evicted based on eviction class of the data. The eviction classes may be evict-first, evict-normal and evict-last, with the look-up unit able to re-class data when required.
