Title: Improvements in antennas
Inventor: FISHER JAMES JOSEPH
IPC: H01Q13/08
Filed: 2001-08-24
Granted: 2005-06-01
Abstract: A directional, wideband, planar antenna arrangement is a class of Vivaldi aerial constructed as a plurality of conductive layers disposed on at least one substrate layer. The conductive layers are arranged to form a flared notch, which widens from a closed end to an open end, and is arranged to conform to a hybrid curve. The hybrid curve comprises a plurality of self-similar curve sections, and, as the flare widens, each successive curve section is scaled up by a scaling factor and joined at its wider end with a neighboring curve section. The hybrid flared notch can also be implemented in antipodal and balanced antipodal Vivaldi aerials.

Abstract: A pressure relief system 10 comprises a ducting arrangement 17 for venting process gas from within a process system. The ducting arrangement comprises an outlet 18 for the process gas that is immersed in liquid 13; the depth of the liquid can be adjusted by changing the height of a weir plate 14, so that the liquid acts to regulate the pressure within the system and also cleans the gas. The system further may comprise a liquid source arrangement 12 for creating a curtain of liquid through which the process gas is forced to pass to further clean the process gas prior to venting to the atmosphere.

Title: Techniques for generating a trace stream for a data processing apparatus
Inventor: GOTCH PAUL ROBERT
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2007-09-28
Granted: 2011-12-07
Abstract: Trace circuitry, and a method of operating such trace circuitry, are provided for generating a trace stream indicative of activities of monitored circuitry of a data processing apparatus. The monitored circuitry produces data elements indicative of those activities, and the trace circuitry comprises trace element generation circuitry which is responsive to at least some of the data elements produced by the monitored circuitry to generate trace elements representative of those data-elements, with the trace elements generated being dependent on a selected trace mode of operation of the trace circuitry. Compression circuitry is then arranged to apply an encoding operation to a sequence of trace elements in order to produce a packet whose bit pattern represents the sequence of trace elements, and to cause that packet to be output in the trace stream, the encoding operation applied being dependent on a current compression scheme associated with the compression circuitry. Whilst in the selected trace mode of operation, the compression circuitry is responsive to a compression change stimulus to change the current compression scheme from a first compression scheme to a second compression scheme whose bit pattern encoding space overlaps the bit pattern encoding space of the first compression scheme, such that following the change of compression scheme any further packets produced whilst in the selected trace mode of operation are produced in accordance with the second compression scheme. Such an approach has been found to provide improved compression efficiency thereby reducing the volume of trace data produced.

Title: Solid state image sensors for rangefinders
Inventor: LAMBETH DAVID NOEL
IPC: G01S7/4914
Filed: 1983-08-18
Granted: 1986-05-29
Abstract: A rangefinder device includes means for projecting a beam of light to illuminate a spot on an object in a scene, an image sensor having an array of photosensors for sensing an image of the scene, and signal processing means responsive to the photosignals from the photosensors for determining the relative location of the illuminated spot in the scene. The device includes an improved image sensor comprising an array of N photosensors for sensing the image of the scene and generating N photosignals in response thereto, and an analog shift register having 2N cells for receiving the photosignals, in parallel, into N alternate cells. The sensor is operated once with the light beam off and the photosignals generated thereby, representing the background illumination, are entered into the N alternate cells of the shift register. Then the contents of the shift register are shifted by one cell. Next, the sensor is operated with the beam on and the N photosignals, representing the background plus the light beam illumination, are entered into the shift register, with the result that the background signals are interlaced with the background plus light beam signals in the shift register. The photosignals are read out of the shift register serially, and the pairs of signals originating from each respective photosensor are differenced to yield a series of N photosignals free from background scene information. The difference signals are supplied serially to a peak detector to determine the location of the illuminated spot.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB92/00359 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 26, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 26, 1993 PCT Filed Feb. 28, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO/9215314 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 17, 1992.A process is provided which is suitable for the preparation of herbal compositions for the treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. The process comprises preparing an extract or extracts of herbs which provide an anti-inflammatory agent, an adrenocortical stimulant and a cortisol protecting agent by steam distillation and decoction and then treating the extracts to reduce the polysaccharide and/or sugar content. This is achieved by fermentation or enzymic action or by extraction with a solvent having a polarity in the range E DEG  0.4 to 0.95 or by precipitation with an inorganic compound and/or colloid or by a combination of two or more of the above. As a final concentration step, the material is further purified by extraction with a solvent having a polarity in the range mentioned above. The reduction of the sugar/polysaccharide content greatly improves the handling characteristics of the extract which can be dried to a free flowing powder. Tablets and capsules for oral administration can be prepared from the extract and it is also suitable for the preparation of topical compositions.

Abstract: Character contours are broken down into a series of orthogonal vectors. Pixel drop out occurs where opposite going vectors coincide. The inside pixel (410 or 440) of each vector (400 or 430) is set to the vector length if the length is greater than the set values of the inside and the outside (420,450) pixels. This procedure is repeated for all the vectors for all the contours. At completion all those pixels set to one or more are set on to produce a drop out corrected bit map which is logically OR'd with the original drop out containing bit map.
