Title: Supply voltage selection
Inventor: WIMPENNY GERARD
IPC: G05F1/563
Filed: 2010-03-30
Abstract: A driver stage 216 receives an input signal and generates a drive signal that generates a dependent voltage signal across a winding 200 of a transformer 256. A related voltage signal exhibited across a second transformer winding 203, by swingback, is compared to a threshold and the supply voltage VH1, VH2 is selected depending on the comparison. A greater supply voltage is selected if the drive signal voltage is greater than the maximum that can be linearly amplified. The threshold can be the threshold voltage of a transistor switch 406, and an offset voltage supplied by zener diode 304. Switch 406 can select a higher supply voltage for the primary of the transformer while the lower voltage supply is isolated by Schottky diode 302. An end 126 of the transformer secondary winding 304 can combine the voltage induced as a result of the drive signal across the winding 200 with a voltage signal connected to its other end 124. The driver stage can be a correction amplifier for the control loop of a modulated supply and the transformer combine the output of a correction path (fig 1, 132) with a main supply path (fig 1, 130) to provide an envelope tracking power supply for a radio frequency amplifier.

Title: Antimicrobial agent and chelating agent for inhibiting a plant pathogen
Inventor: CARREIRA ALEXANDRA MANUELA LOURENA O
IPC: A01N37/44
Filed: 2010-10-13
Abstract: The use of a chelating agent and an antimicrobial agent that is effective against a plant pathogenic microorganism, such as a bacterium or fungus, to inhibit and/or kill a plant pathogenic microorganism on a plant is claimed.

Title: Trial period cellular network connection with identity modules of multiple devices loaded with multiple identities from a shared pool
Inventor: LODEWEYCKX STEFAN
IPC: H04W8/18
Filed: 2011-06-17
Abstract: When offering a free wireless network connection trial with a device, a connection charge is payable by the device manufacturer for each network identity (eg. IMSI). The invention proposes using a smaller identity pool shared amongst devices, rather than one identity per device. Thus each identity is given to multiple devices, leading to the possibility of collisions where an identity is already in use by another device. Each device is provided with an identity module 500 (eg SIM, UICC) that is loaded with multiple logical network identities 520-529 (eg IMSI, USIM, CSIM). The identity module attempts connection with each identity in turn 510 until one is successful, to reduce the effect of identity collisions. Additionally devices are provided with a non-removable identity module containing a further logical network identity. This is used for connections in relation to processing failures, specifically a failure to connect with any of the multiple shared identities, or software/firmware updates.

Title: Bias assembly for ratchet tools
Inventor: ROSS DAVID T
IPC: B25B13/46
Filed: 2008-04-03
Abstract: A bias assembly 12 is provided for a reversible ratchet tool having first and second pawls 16, 18 and a reversing actuator 15 for selecting a drive direction for the ratchet tool by selectively engaging one of the pawls with a ratchet gear 20. The bias assembly comprises a bias member 22 that has a first portion engageable with the first pawl, a second portion engageable with the second pawl, and a third portion engageable with a portion of the ratchet tool. The bias member biases the selectively engaged pawl towards concentric alignment with the ratchet gear. The bias member may be a leaf spring that is generally V-shaped. Preferably, an additional bias member, such as spring 14 is provided, that is engaged with the first and second pawls to separate them. The bias member prevents non-ratcheting initial rotation of the pawl due to counter-rotation prior to the pawl camming out of engagement with the ratchet gear, thus eliminating wasted motion and maximizing the available angular sweep for the wrench.
