Patent GB-2391607-A (GB)
Title: Cryogenic gas storage with pre-evaporation buffer unit
Inventor: MA THOMAS TSOI HEI
IPC: F17C7/04
Filed: 2003-01-21
Abstract: A gas storage and delivery system periodically passes cryogenically stored gas 10 in discrete quantities via a buffer container 12, to a vapourisation tank 14. The buffering in the delivery systems permits the device to maintain a level of ready to use gas in the tank 14 between certain limits. The gas is tapped off for use in a gas usage device 16, which consumes gas for various purposes and may be such as a fuel cell, combustion engine, gas expander or the like. A heating system 40 - 50, may aide the vaporisation process in the vapourisation tank 14.

Title: Fabrication of solid-state device with improved lift-off
Inventor: PHILLIPS CARL CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G03F7/16
Filed: 2003-06-12
Abstract: A method of depositing a feature on a substrate. A covering layer is provided on a semiconductor substrate. The covering layer may be a photoresist. The covering layer is provided with a surface inhibition layer which may be formed by applying a developer to the surface of the covering layer and subsequently heating. A region of the surface inhibition layer is then irradiated, e.g. through an aperture in a mask. A second developer is applied to remove the irradiated portion of the surface inhibition layer thereby forming an aperture. The second developer subsequently removes a portion of the underlying covering layer to form a via extending from the aperture to the substrate. The via is larger than the aperture forming an overhang. The feature is then deposited on the substrate through the aperture. Feature material is not deposited on the side walls of the via thereby reducing defects after the covering layer is lifted-off.

Title: Correlating a UWB signal with differently delayed reference UWB signals
Inventor: BAKER DAVID
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 2003-07-18
Abstract: A receiver of ultra wideband (UWB) pulse samples incoming signals and correlates them (514) with a template reference signal (518) in order to compensate for distortion and multipath reflections (fig. 4b). A number of correlator modules (514) allow the position of the pulse to be determined via correlation with several differently delayed versions of the reference pulse. A pattern generator further controls the stored signal in order to provide reference signals for two or more successive pulses with interleaved multipath components, allowing communication over eg. power lines. The data can be encoded according to both the position and the phase of the pulse.

Title: Method and apparatus for supporting mobility of WLAN voice terminal
Inventor: RUE SEON-SOO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2003-12-15
Abstract: A method is for supporting mobility of a WLAN voice terminal which can guarantee mobility, when a data line such as an ISDN line is used as a communication line between a switching system and access points and when the WLAN voice terminal roams from a basic service set of one access point which it intends to be associated with to a basic service set of another access point during signaling.

Title: Adjustable hydrostatic axial piston driving mechanism with phase-displaceable displacement movements.
Inventor: FORSTER FRANZ
IPC: F01B3/00
Filed: 2006-06-26
Abstract: An adjustable hydrostatic axial piston driving mechanism comprising two groups of piston-shaped displacement bodies 13 and two cam discs 9a, 9b which are arranged on opposing driving mechanism ends, against which cam discs, one of the groups of displacement bodies 13, in each case, is supported.
