Title: Computer game apparatus for matching pieces, associated scoring systems and grid refill mechanic
Inventor: WAUGH DUNCAN JAMES
IPC: A63F13/822
Filed: 2013-07-03
Abstract: A computer game or app, e.g. for a smart phone or tablet, comprises pieces displayed in a grid. A player selects sets of three or more matching pieces 3 in a line, and the matched pieces are removed from the grid once selected. The game allows for a matched set to be accepted when non-matching pieces 1 are in the selected line, e.g. upon selecting a line of pieces A-A-B-A the three A pieces are treated as a matching set. A score may be awarded for selecting matching sets 3, with a higher score awarded where a selected line forming the matching set contains fewer or no non-matching pieces. A score may only be awarded where a background colour of a given space 1 within a selected line matches the colour of the matched pieces 3 within the line. Vacant spaces created by removing a set of matched pieces from the grid may be refilled by moving pieces from adjacent spaces, the pieces being moved in a direction corresponding to a direction defined in moving from the first selected piece 2 to the last selected piece 4 of the matched set (see figures 5A to 5E).

Patent GB-2517496-A (GB)
Title: Optimisation of envelope tracked power amplifier
Inventor: WIMPENNY GERARD
IPC: H03F3/213
Filed: 2013-08-23
Abstract: Distortion in an envelope-tracking cascode amplifier is reduced by modulating the bias voltage applied to the gate of the cascode transistor 32 in sympathy with the envelope of the RF signal to be amplified. The drain bias voltage of the input transistor 34, which follows the gate bias voltage of the cascode transistor, may thus be modulated so that the RF duty cycle of the input transistor 34 does not change in dependence on the amplitude of the signal envelope. The envelope-tracking supply voltage may be derived using a non-linear mapping function 62. The envelope-tracking bias voltage may be derived by using a second non-linear mapping function 64 or by scaling and offsetting the output of the first non-linear mapping function 62 (figure 4).Â  More than one common-gate transistor may be connected in a series arrangement, with small gate-earthing capacitors chosen to ensure even RF voltage distribution across the totem-pole string (figure 7).

IPC: F16H15/38
Filed: 2015-05-29
Abstract: A variator comprises first and second races 10 and at least one rolling element 12 in a cavity between the races 10. In a drive configuration, drive is transmitted between the races 10 and the rolling elements 12. In a neutral configuration, the roller elements 12 are moved into disconnect region 22 on the races 10 so that the roller elements 12 ceases to make contact with the races 10 and no drive is transmitted between the races 10. Alternatively in the neutral configuration the races 10 can move independently of one another away from the roller elements 10 so that no drive is transmitted and the drive configuration is obtained by moving the rolling elements 12 to a position in which they make contact with both of the races 12. Roller elements 12 are mounted in a carriage 14 moved by a control member 16 which provides one constraint and a pin 32 provides a second constraint. In the neutral configuration the control member 16 and pin 32 form a hinge axis about which the carriage 14 may tilt. Independent claims relate to a method of operating the variator.
