Title: coletor fossiforme para gases subtérreos
Inventor: MARTINS MANOEL VITALINO
IPC: B09C1/00
Filed: 2007-01-10
Abstract: COLETOR FOSSIFORME PARA GASES SUBTéRREOS. Patente de invenção de um coletor para gases subtérreos constituído de um conjunto integrado de fóssulas encravadas nas camadas gasógenas do subsolo, interligados por uma rede de dutos de aspiração, escoradas por uma pilha vertical de pneus perfurados, com a finalidade de coletar e prospectar gases gerados pela decomposição anaeróbia da biomassa dos aterros sanitários. Difere esse coletor de gases subtérreos dos demais existentes no estado da técnica por coletar gases diretamente das camadas gasógenas do subsolo em fóssulas escoradas por pilhas de pneus perfurados, o que lhe garante novidade inventiva e vantagens económicas em razão da simplicidade estrutural que propicia o espargimento dos gases subtérreos no interior das fóssulas ao fluírem pelos poros da biomassa, sugados pela baixa pressão interna do sistema. Para garantir a hermética do sistema a camada de biomassa onde se instala o coletor é recoberta por uma camada de compactação impermeabilizada com uma capa asfáltica que reduz a infiltração pluviométrica, diminuindo a formação de cerume, evitando excessiva hidratação da biomassa, isolando o ar atmosférico para manter o meio anaeróbio e evitar a exalação dos gases fermentados, diminuindo a poluição ambiental.

Inventor: SPIESS HERMANN
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 2007-04-27
Abstract: In an electric power transmission network, comprising several substations interconnected by power transmission lines, a communication device of a substation communicates over a power transmission line to a communication device of a neighboring substation by using command signals (A, B, C, D) in a frequency band (F) and a guard signal (G) located in a first half (F2) of the frequency band (F). For successive lines, a repeating sequence of different schemes (a1, b1) of command signals (A, B, C, D) is used, each of the schemes (a1, b1) comprising only command signals (A, B, C, D) with frequencies located in a second half of the frequency band (F1). By using a repeating sequence of different schemes (a1, b1) for successive lines and by using in each of the schemes (a1, b1) only command signals (A, B, C, D) with frequencies located in one half of the reserved frequency band, it is possible to reduce the number of different frequency bands required in electric power transmission networks for transmitting command signals (A, B, C, D) used for coding (tele-) protection commands.

Title: Organic electronic devices
Inventor: REYNOLDS KIERAN
IPC: H01L51/00
Filed: 2010-06-04
Abstract: A method of producing organic TFT arrays and other devices where electronic elements 15 are supported on a plastic substrate 10 via an organic planarization layer 11, includes providing protection for the electronic elements 15 against the ingress of a degrading species such as moisture or oxygen from a side of the substrate 10 opposite to the elements 15. The device substrate 10 may be a bilayer comprising a barrier layer 10a and a support layer 10b which are temporarily mounted on a rigid carrier 1 by an adhesive layer 2. Ingress of contaminants such as water from the adhesive layer into the TFT arrays 15 is blocked by the barrier layer 10a, which may be an inorganic moisture barrier layer disposed between an organic support structure 10b and the organic planarization layer 11. The device substrate sheet 10 exhibits a lower water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) than any other layer between the TFT arrays 15 and the adhesive element 2, therefore provides primary protection for the electronic elements from ingress of water.

Title: Thermal Fluid Flow Apparatus
Inventor: LOPEZ MARTIN
IPC: G01F1/684
Filed: 2010-06-04
Abstract: A compact apparatus for measuring the flow rate of a fluid. The apparatus includes a heated measure element 31 and a heated reference element 32, both of which may be thick film printed resistors 34 on ceramic discs 33, and which are in substantially the same thermal environment within a treasure cell 30, except that the measure element is situated in the path of the cooling fluid flow and the reference element is sheltered from this direct fluid flow. These elements are arranged as parallel and concentric planar elements that are essentially identical to each other with matching thermal characteristics. The elements are electrically connected in a Wheatstone bridge arrangement. Thermal exchange between the reference and measure elements is used to optimise noise rejection due to common mode background thermal effects. Measured parameters from the bridge can be used to derive the fluid flow rate. The thermal conductivity and the composition of the fluid may also be determined.

Title: A method of reducing the density of threading dislocations in light emitting devices, by the selective creation of cavities
Inventor: SMEETON TIM MICHAEL
IPC: H01L33/00
Filed: 2010-09-16
Abstract: A semiconductor light-emitting device comprises a substrate 101 and a semiconductor layer structure disposed over the substrate. The device particularly relates to Nitride based LEDâ  s or lasers, in particular (Al,In,Ga)N deposited on sapphire, silicon, silicon carbide or GaN substrates. The layer structure includes a first layer 102 disposed over the substrate, a second layer 105, and an active region 104 for light emission disposed between the first layer 102 and the second layer 105. One or more cavities 108 are present in the layer structure, each cavity coincident with a respective threading dislocation 103 of at least a first type that extends generally through the layer structure, and a cavity extending from an upper surface of the layer structure through at least the second layer 105 and the active region 104. By removing material at the location of a dislocation, the invention provides effective suppression of the tendency of the threading dislocations to act as non-radiative centers, which improves the light output efficiency. The device may be manufactured by a two-stage method that has a first etching step of selectively etching the layer structure at one or more locations at which a respective threading dislocation is present thereby to form a pilot cavity at the or each location. A second etching step is applied to increase the depth of the or each pilot cavity to produce a respective cavity 108 that extends at least through the second layer 105 and the active region 104.

Title: Motion compensated video interpolation calculation that is time shifted (scaled) relative to desired output interpolation timings
Inventor: FISHWICK STEVEN
IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 2011-04-27
Abstract: In a method and apparatus for motion compensated video interpolation, each field or frame in a video image sequence is subdivided into plural blocks, and a motion vector field is derived using block (best) matching for a current video field against a previous video field or frame. A first time instance (e.g. t=-0.5, t=0.5) is determined at which an interpolated block is to be displayed, i.e. the `ideal' display time as set by the interpolation scheme required; and a second time instance (e.g. t=-0.75) is determined at which a corresponding interpolated block is to be actually created, i.e. a "working time instance", for improved interpolation accuracy, depending on motion vector errors. Video data is interpolated at its second (optimum calculation) time then displayed at the first (expected, ideal) time. Creation times may be a scale factor of the ideal, display times — shifting the interpolation toward input frames - and determined independently for each block; scale factors may depend on motion estimator performance and scale factor clamping or thresholds (Figures 13, 14). Scale factor products or averages may be used. For very poor motion estimation, frame repetition to be used.

Title: Detecting marginal timing operation in a logic pipeline
Inventor: IDGUNJI SACHIN SATISH
IPC: G01R31/30
Filed: 2011-05-25
Abstract: A data processing apparatus consists of flip-flops or latches connected by combinatorial logic circuitry. A latch has a transition detector to detect a transition on the input to the latch in a time window. The time window is such that a transition in the window will not cause the latch to operate incorrectly, but the margin for correct operation is low. The detector has two modes of operation. In the first mode, the window is before the data is clocked into the latch. In the second mode, the window is after the data is clocked into the latch. The detector may comprise a shadow latch. In one mode of operation, the latch input is clocked into the shadow latch using a delayed clock. In the other mode of operation, the input signal is clocked into the master latch using a delayed clock.
