Patent GB-2328594-A (GB)
Title: Soft-decision syndrome-based decoder for convolutional codes
Inventor: ARIEL MEIR
IPC: H03M13/23
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: A soft-decision decoder (170) computes a maximum likelihood estimated transmitted code from a demodulated received signal with less complexity compared to a conventional Viterbi soft-decision decoder. A symbol-by-symbol hard-decision detector (210) determines a hard-decision vector v from a demodulated received signal vector r. A syndrome calculator (220) multiplies the hard-decision vector by a scalar parity check matrix H to calculate a syndrome vector s. If not zero, a syndrome modifier (230) examines the syndrome vector for predetermined syndrome patterns P corresponding to isolated errors in the hard-decision vector. Syndrome patterns are removed from the syndrome vector to create a modified syndrome vector s', and the corresponding error in the hard-decision vector is recorded in an estimated error vector Ù. A syndrome-based decoder (250) uses the modified syndrome vector to create a simplified error trellis to produce a remaining error vector. Subtracting the estimated error vector and the remaining error vector from the hard-decision vector creates a maximum likelihood estimated transmitted code vector þ.
Patent GB-2342829-A (GB)
Title: Postfilter
Inventor: HOROS JACEK ANDRZEJ
IPC: G10L25/15
Filed: 1998-10-13
Abstract: The frequency response of a postfilter, for filtering digitally processed speech, is calculated by identifying formants of a speech spectrum of the digitally processed speech, and normalising points of the speech spectrum with respect to the magnitude of the nearest formant (Figs.3a,3b). Using this method, it is possible to control different portions of the frequency spectrum independently. If a time domain coder/decoder is used to process speech, an approximation of the speech signal is obtained by finding the impulse response of an LPC synthesis filter 10 and supplying this impulse response to a Fast Fourier Transform function 11, the frequency transform of the impulse response providing an approximation of the spectral envelope of the speech signal. A formants identifying function 12 identifies formants by finding the first derivative of the output of FFT 11, the positions of the formants being passed to a spectral envelope modifying function 13 which calculates the postfilter frequency response by normalising each point of the spectral envelope with respect to the magnitude of its nearest formant. The postfilter frequency response is passed to a multiplier 14 which multiplies the modified spectrum with the original noisy speech. To increase the brightness of the speech, the modified spectrum can be passed to a high pass filter. Power normalisation 15 can be carried out in the frequency domain to scale the postfiltered speech such that it has roughly the same power as the unfiltered noisy speech.

Title: Downhole filter with protective jacket
Inventor: RICHARD BENNETT M
IPC: B01D39/12
Filed: 1996-03-25
Abstract: A downhole filter has a supporting body 10 with a mesh 14 mounted on it. An outer jacket 16 has a plurality of openings 37 causing a change in direction of the flow (as indicated by arrow 40). This change in direction helps to dissipate the flow energy, improving the erosion resistance of the filter. It also causes the fluid to sweep across the surface of the mesh 14 thereby reducing the tendency of sand particles to become embedded. The outer jacket 16 also protects the mesh on insertion of the filter into the wellbore, the openings 37 being aligned along the axis of the filter, thereby reducing the likelihood of dirt accumulation in the openings during insertion. The mesh 14 is a single wire mesh layer, woven in a twilled Dutch weave (Fig 3) which presents no straight through paths through the mesh. The mesh 14 may be mounted on the supporting body 10 via an inner wire wrap jacket 12 (Fig 2).

Title: Packaged cosmetics
Inventor: AMBROSEN HELEN
IPC: B65D37/00
Filed: 1999-04-14
Abstract: A cosmetic is packaged in peel, skin, a leaf or leaves from a fruit or vegetable. The cosmetic may contain part of the fruit or vegetable from which the peel, skin or leaf is taken. The peel may be from a lemon, orange, mandarin, grapefruit or lime, eg the flesh of which has been scooped out. The leaf or leaves may be from a lettuce or cabbage. The cosmetic may be a facemask containing lemon flesh or lettuce leaves. The cosmetic is man-made in that it excludes a single naturally occurring material used alone without any form of substantive processing. The packaged cosmetic has a short shelf-life and may need to be refrigerated, but the packaging material is easily disposable being biodegradeable. Where leaves form the wrapping, they may be folded or wrapped around the cosmetic and can be secured by string or by a suitable fibre such as one derived from leeks. The cosmetic may have a suitably firm texture to hold the wrapping in place.

Filed: 1988-12-04
Abstract: This invention relates generally to a novel method of manufacturing a composite body. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for modifying the resultant properties of a composite body, by, for example, minimizing the amount of porosity present in the composite body. Additives such as TaG, ZrC, ZrB2, VC, NbC, WC, W2B5 and/or MoO2B5 can be combined with a boron carbide material (2) which is thereafter reactively infiltrated by a parent metal (3). The composite body comprises one or more boron-containing compounds (e.g., a boride or a boride and a carbide) which is made by the reactive infiltration of molten parent metal (3) into the boron carbide mass (2). Particular emphasis is placed upon modifying the properties of a ZrB2-ZrC-Zr composite body. However, the methods disclosed in the application are believed to be generic to a number of parent metals and preform materials.
