Title: Ventilator assembly with valve and filter
Inventor: BEN JONATHAN KEVIN
IPC: A61M16/20
Filed: 2006-09-22
Abstract: A gas-powered ventilator has a patient valve assembly 2 with a housing 20 containing a duck-bill valve element 60 arranged to allow gas to flow from the ventilator 1 to the patient during inhalation. The valve element 60 closes during exhalation, diverting the exhaled gas to exhaust ports 30 in the housing 20 and substantially preventing exhaled gas flowing back to the ventilator. The valve housing 20 also contains a filter 50 between the valve element 60 and the patient outlet 5 so that all gas flowing to and from the patient passes through the filter and the ventilator is thereby protected from contamination from any gas that might seep back through the valve element. The valve assembly 2 is removable from the ventilator 1 as a single unit so that it can be disposed of and replaced between patients.

Title: MIMO system with interpolation of precoder matrices from a subset of subcarriers
Inventor: SANDELL MAGNUS STIG TORSTEN
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2007-08-31
Abstract: Precoding a plurality of subcarriers in preparation for MIMO transmission is carried out by deriving precoding matrices from available information. When the number of data streams borne by the subcarriers equals the number of transmit antennas, the method comprises deriving, from respective acquired unitary precoder matrices for two of said subcarriers, interpolated precoder matrices for subcarriers intermediate the two subcarriers. The acquired and interpolated precoder matrices are then applied, as the case may be, at the respective subcarriers. The step of deriving the interpolated precoder matrices comprises determining an overall rotation matrix representing a transformation between the acquired precoder matrices, determining from the overall rotation matrix a further rotation matrix representing a step transformation for interpolation steps between said two subcarriers, and recursively applying said further rotation matrix to derive said interpolated precoder matrices. If the number of data streams is less than the number of transmit antennas, the rectangular precoder matrices should first be converted into square unitary matrices by augmenting with null spaces.

Title: Improved process margin using discrete assist features
Inventor: MATTHEW ITTY
IPC: G03F1/14
Filed: 2006-08-23
Abstract: The subject invention provides a system and method for improving the process margin of a lithographic imaging system. The process margin improvement is achieved through the novel placement of discrete assist features and/or the use of forbidden pitches and specific pitch orientations (1310, 1312). Novel geometries are utilized, which take advantage of line-end pull back and/or a lack of resolution of pitches perpendicular to an axis of a dipole illumination source (822, 824). The strategic placement of a series of discrete scatterbar segments on a mask near positions of critical features, such as, for example, contacts, mitigates resist residue that can result from the use of a contiguous scatterbar (1212, 1312).

Title: Process for repairing a damaged vehicle structural member
Inventor: BAUMANN PETER
IPC: B23P6/00
Filed: 2008-05-02
Abstract: A process for repairing a damaged vehicle structural member, in particular a side sill, the vehicle structural member being constructed from a plurality of wall layers arranged one behind the other, comprises the step of wall-layer-selective cutting-out of a damaged section of the vehicle structural member, to produce a residual vehicle structural member (R'). A current replacement wall layer (1, 2) corresponding to the rearmost cut-out wall layer is then cut to size providing a presettable minimum overlap region with the residual vehicle structural member (R'). The cut-to-size current replacement wall layer (1, 2) is introduced in the region of the rearmost cut-out wall layer of the residual vehicle structural member (R') and mechanical joining thereto in the minimum overlap region, to produce a new residual vehicle structural member (R'). The process is repeated until the current replacement wall layer (1, 2) is introduced and joined as the foremost cut-out wall layer and hence the new residual vehicle structural member (R) corresponds to the undamaged vehicle structural member.
