Inventor: MELI LYDIA
IPC: A44C5/10
Filed: 2010-01-23
Abstract: A threadable jewellery chain link element 3 includes an elongated aperture 1 at one end, a curved stem section 15 and an anchor 2 at the opposite end. The anchor 2 can be of any shape and dimension and can include a decorative motif. Each element 3 is threaded through the end loop 1 of the previous element to form a chain of any desired length with the stem 15 passing through each end loop 1 and rotating into place. Each individual element 3 is curved in the appropriate places 4, 5, 6, 7 to allow subsequent threaded elements to settle naturally within the curved contours of the previous element. The number and specific shape of these curvatures may vary depending on the design of the linking element, which may itself be tailored to suit the chosen design motif. The completed threaded chain is locked into position using a bar lock device where the first linking element also includes an additional loop aperture to allow both ends of the completed chain to be overlapped and locked together.

Title: Motion Sensitive System and Method of Generating a Control Signal
Inventor: CARLE STEVEN
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2010-10-18
Abstract: A sensor arrangement (15 in fig. 1) captures first and second images 23 and 22 of a moving object in proximity to the target (33 or 10 in fig. 1). A processing module receives the first and second image from the sensor arrangement and calculates the position and velocity of the moving object before comparing these with at least one real or imaginary positional threshold (32, 31, 30). The processing module is also arranged to generate a control signal in response to the calculated position and velocity satisfying a criterion with respect to the positional threshold (e.g. if the object   s approach crosses the threshold). This invention provides the generation of a control (e.g. door opening) signal when a target (e.g. door) is validly approached by a moving object (e.g. a person walking towards the door), but not when the approach is invalid (e.g. a person walking past the door or entrance).

Title: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy using an excitation RF spectrum with a spectral gap
Inventor: CHEKHOVICH EVGENY
IPC: G01N24/08
Filed: 2011-09-01
Abstract: A method of measuring a sample using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy uses a continuous broadband RF excitation spectrum having a first portion and a second higher frequency portion with a spectral gap between the portions (figure 1d). This is the inverse of the usual saturation NMR spectroscopy (figure 1a). If the frequency of the spectral gap matches the resonance frequency of a nuclear spin transition in the sample under test, this results in enhanced detectability (figure 1f). The spectral position of the spectral gap may be scanned by incrementing or decrementing its central frequency. The method may be used to measure a strained solid semiconductor sample such as a strained self-assembled quantum dots. An optical radiation source may be used to optically pump the sample, and optical radiation re-emitted from the sample may be measured using an optical detector.

Title: Managing power consumption in a heterogeneous network by deactivating micro cells
Inventor: XIAO HUI
IPC: H04W16/08
Filed: 2012-05-02
Abstract: A cell ranking algorithm is disclosed for power saving in a cellular wireless network having a heterogeneous network structure of macro and micro cells. The algorithm determines when and which micro cells can be deactivated, by which the power consumption of the network can be reduced. A micro cell (Micro d) having a traffic load below a threshold value is deactivated and its load is assigned to adjacent macro cells (Macro a, Macro b, Macro c) acting as compensation cells. The proposed algorithm is based on a comprehensive consideration of factors that have influence on the power saving of the network and the balance between the traffic load (or quality of service) and the energy saving. A prioritized list of micro cells may be compiled and cells deactivated on the basis of the list. The list may rank the cells based on a weighted sum of a power saving gain and a resource efficiency gain.
