Title: Apparatus for minimising the effect of joule-thomson cooling
Inventor: BEG MIRZA NAJAM ALI
IPC: F16L9/00
Filed: 2012-07-03
Abstract: The apparatus consists of modular stages (A, B, C) arranged in series, each stage including a main chamber 2 and a nozzle opening 5. In practice, a fluid passing through the opening S is 5 subject to a pressure drop as it enters a main chamber of a subsequent stage in the series. This multi-stage pressure drop avoids a sharp drop in temperature, as would occur if the total pressure drop was achieved in one stage, that may cause hydrates to form in an oil/gas pipeline.

Title: Data verification using checksum sidefile
Inventor: ZVIBEL LIRAN
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 2012-07-10
Abstract: A storage subsystem 10 facilitates data verification using a checksum, e.g. a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) signature or data integrity field (DIF), in conjunction with a sidefile 42 (e.g. a solid-state drive (SSD) or flash memory device). Checksums are stored in the sidefile apart from data stored on storage controller disks 40. In one embodiment, first block signatures 46, having a first size, are calculated for first blocks 35 of a first volume 31 stored on a storage device 40, and stored to the sidefile 42. Second block signatures 42, having a second size different from the first size, are calculated for second blocks 37 of a second volume 33, and are stored to the sidefile. Each storage module 26 may include a sidefile. Alternatively, a single sidefile stores checksum information for data stored in a number of volumes associated with a number of storage modules. Variable strength sidefile signatures may be provided. For example, a sidefile 42 can change the protection level for a particular volume by changing the DIF associated with it.

Title: Performing cell reselection evaluation using a measure of uplink based coverage
Inventor: CALLENDER CHRISTOPHER PETER
IPC: H04W36/08
Filed: 2012-10-10
Abstract: Measures for use in cell reselection in a cellular telecommunications network. A user equipment (50, figure 1) calculates a first cell ranking criterion 200 for a serving cell 80 of said user equipment and a second cell ranking criterion 210 for at least one neighbour cell 110 of said user equipment. Calculating at least one of the first cell ranking criterion for the serving cell and the second cell ranking criterion for the at least one neighbour cell comprises combining a measure of downlink (DL)-based coverage 130 and a measure of uplink (UL)-based coverage 140 for a respective cell. The user equipment performs cell reselection evaluation 220 at least on the basis of the calculated first cell ranking criterion and the calculated second cell ranking criterion. Said measure of uplink-based coverage may comprises a pathloss metric for a respective cell. The cellular network may be a heterogeneous network comprising relatively high power macro cells and relatively low power micro, pico or femto cells. In order to avoid interference with a pico cell 110, UE 50 can attempt to camp on pico cell 110 if the DL is still of reasonable quality even if it is not the best cell. As uplink coverage is taken into account, cell size is accounted for when choosing the best cell for a UE 50 to camp on.

Title: Class D amplifier circuit
Inventor: LESSO JOHN PAUL
IPC: H03F3/217
Filed: 2014-08-29
Abstract: A modulator 201 controls a Class D output stage 202 based on a modulator input signal Dm. An error block 205, which may comprise a feedback ADC 207, generates an error signal from the output signal and the input signal Din. At high signal amplitudes the modulator input signal is based at least in part on the error signal, but at low signal amplitudes the modulator input signal is based only on the digital input signal. Distortion at high signal levels is reduced by feedback, while noise generated in the feedback ADC 207 has no effect at low signal levels. The noise performance requirement of the ADC may be relaxed, allowing use of a smaller ADC using less power.
