Title: The Buffered continous multi-drop clock rin
Inventor: MCCALL JAMES
IPC: G06F1/10
Filed: 2007-03-22
Abstract: A method, system and apparatus to distribute a clock signal among a plurality of memory units in a memory architecture. A buffer chip is coupled to a plurality of memory units each by a point to point link. The buffer chip includes a clock generator to generate a continuous free running clock that may be passed serially through a subset of memory units in the architecture. Sending of data is delayed over the point to point links based on proximity of the memory units to the buffer chip to accommodate delay in the multidrop clock signal.

Title: Central heating systems
Inventor: NEVIN ANDREW
IPC: C02F1/48
Filed: 2007-06-11
Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the pressure of a heating fluid within a central heating system (10, fig.1) or for controlling the flow of heating fluid into a central heating system. The apparatus comprises an inlet 46, for connection to a supply of heating fluid 42, and an outlet 64, for connection to a heating system. A pressure sensor 70 is arranged to sense the heating fluid pressure within the central heating system. A flow sensor 80 is arranged to sense the volume of heating fluid flowing between the inlet and the outlet. A flow control valve 66 controls the flow of heating fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The flow control valve is operatively connected to the pressure sensor and is arranged to open when the sensed pressure falls below a first predetermined pressure and close when the sensed pressure rises above a second predetermined pressure. Alternatively, the flow control valve is operatively connected to the flow sensor and is arranged to close once a predetermined volume of heating fluid has flowed. A self-bleeding radiator valve (82, fig.4) comprising a filter (100, fig.4) arranged to inhibit particulate matter from interfering with the operation of the valve is disclosed. A filtration device (106, fig.5) for a central heating system, preferably comprising a magnetic particle filter, is also disclosed.

Title: Tidal water power generating device with helical tube
Inventor: FOSTER KEITH EDWARD
IPC: F03B3/18
Filed: 2007-10-02
Abstract: A tidal water power generating device comprises a helical tube 7 formed within a housing 2 and having an inlet (6, fig 2) submerged in water and an outlet 8 above high water level. Within the outlet 8 there is a bladed rotor 9 which may be used to drive an electrical generator. As tidal water moves into the inlet (6) and up the helical tube 7 it compresses air therein and forces the air upwardly towards the outlet 8. As a result, the air is forced out from the outlet 8 at high speed and turns the rotor 9. The helical or spiral tube 7 narrows in cross-section as it extend from the inlet (6) to the outlet 8 and each successive turn of the spiral is reduced so that air moved in the tube 7 travels progressively faster in tighter and tighter spirals. The tube 7 may be a logarithmic spiral having a substantially Golden Ratio of radii of successive turns. The device may be formed of modular sections having a concrete housing 2.

Title: Methods and apparatus for monitoring software systems
Inventor: DUBERRY MICHAEL CHARLES
IPC: G06F11/32
Filed: 2007-01-24
Abstract: In a monitoring system for a message-based, multi-component software system, such as a distributed system, interface descriptions are stored electronically for the various interfaces. Messages transmitted or received at the interfaces can be monitored and their content decoded by reference to the stored interface descriptions. Raw message data can be logged. Either monitored or logged data can be viewed by the user, either in its raw form or decoded and presented for instance in a tabular or graphical form. Different monitoring behaviours of the system can be triggered by message content. Rules can be applied so that monitoring is focussed on selected message events and correlation can be done between message events at different interfaces. The monitoring system can be used with any software system for which interface descriptions are available. Messages can also be fed back into the monitored software system, optionally containing data based on detected messages, thus potentially creating monitored situations for further or better analysis.

Title: An SOI transistor having an embedded strain layer and a reduced floating body effect and a method for forming the same
Inventor: WEI ANDY
IPC: H01L21/336
Filed: 2007-03-29
Abstract: By forming a portion (209A, 309A, 409A) of a PN junction (209, 309, 409) within strained silicon/germanium material (207, 307, 407) in SOI transistors (200, 300, 400) with a floating body (221, 321) architecture, the junction leakage may be significantly increased, thereby reducing floating body effects. The positioning of a portion (209A, 309A, 409A) of the PN junction (209, 309, 409) within the strained silicon/germanium material (207, 307, 407) may be accomplished on the basis of implantation and anneal techniques, contrary to conventional approaches in which in situ doped silicon/germanium is epitaxially grown so as to form the deep drain and source regions. Consequently, high drive current capability may be combined with a reduction of floating body effects.
