Title: Radar signal processing
Inventor: ANGUS JOHNSON
IPC: G01S7/02
Filed: 2015-07-09
Abstract: A method is described of determining a potential clock frequency of an emitter. The method comprises obtaining frequency data and pulse repetition interval, PRI, data from a single emitter, forming pairs within the frequency data and PRI data (S1-4), finding differences between each pair to form difference values (S1-6), repeating to form pairs of the difference values and finding difference values of each pair (S1-10, S1-12) until all non-zero values are of equal value (S1-14), whilst finding factors for each difference value found, and comparing the factor values to find any common factors, re-applying the most frequent common factor value to the frequency and PRI data to obtain the potential emitter clock frequency. The steps may also include de-interleaving as part of the signal processing and the frequency obtained by using quarter rate mixing. The signals phase may be analysed to determine the clock frequency and it may be obtained by the Rotate-Add-Decimate method. The received pulses may be re-processed by repeating the method with the potential emitter frequency used as a divisor of the sample rate.

Title: Procedure for efficient recovery of diamonds, gold from tailings
Inventor: Claudio Sasso
IPC: C22B11/00
Filed: 2014-07-21
Abstract: The value-minerals are captured by gravity-separation, from a low-grade slurry. The ratio of liquids-to-solids in the slurry affects the efficiency of capture, and an ideal liquids/solids ratio is the ratio at which the efficiency of capture is at a maximum. The ideal ratio is different for different particle-sizes. The procedure includes dewatering the slurry, dividing the dry particles by particle-size, and feeding the several size-divided dry-streams into respective capture-stations. Prior to each dry-stream entering its respective capture-station, make-up water is added to the dry-stream in such quantity as to bring the liquids/solids ratio up to the ideal, for that particle-size. The procedure makes it simple to provide accurate measurement of, and accurate control of, the liquids/solids ratio.
