Title: Beamforming in wireless communication
Inventor: VITHANAGE CHERAN MALSRI
IPC: H04W16/28
Filed: 2008-03-14
Abstract: Beamforming for use in wireless communication involving apparatus comprising a plurality of antennas, each being suitable for emitting a wireless signal. The approach involves determining a beamforming vector on the basis of a channel matrix to a given receiver. The approach involves determining an eigenbeamformer vector from the channel matrix, and rotating the eigen-beamformer vector into a reference direction in vector space such that application of said rotated eigenbeamformer vector would result in peak radiation being directed in the reference direction. A radiation pattern associated with the rotated eigen-beamformer vector is then sampled with respect to transmission direction, and the resultant samples are compressed to reduce spatial directivity induced by the eigen-beamformer. From this, a rotated candidate beamformer is developed on the basis of the compressed samples and the rotated candidate beamformer is returned to the orientation of the eigen-beamformer vector before the previous rotation.

Title: Crystallisation apparatus and process with supercritical fluid
Inventor: HIPKISS DAVID
IPC: B01J3/00
Filed: 2006-12-05
Abstract: Crystallisation is brought about in a process utilising supercritical fluid either as solvent or antisolvent, wherein a solution that is being changed into a supersaturated condition is subjected to intense ultrasound to initiate nucleation. The solution may have the supercritical fluid as solvent, being changed to being supersaturated by a first-stage expansion. Or a solution may be contacted with the supercritical fluid as an antisolvent, so it becomes supersaturated.
Patent GB-2462309-A (GB)
Title: Pressure gauge with two pressure sensors
Inventor: RATNER CARY
IPC: G01D3/024
Filed: 2008-08-01
Abstract: A pressure gauge 10 for sensing a pressure value comprises a first pressure sensor 12 to provide pressure information in a first pressure range, and a second pressure sensor 14 to provide pressure information in a second relatively higher pressure range, and a controller 16 to derive the pressure value from the pressure information. The controller derives the pressure value from pressure information from only one of the pressure sensors at any given pressure. The gauge 10 also comprises a switch 18 arranged to automatically switch between the pressure sensors 12, 14 at a threshold pressure such that below the threshold pressure, the pressure value is derived from pressure measurements from the first sensor 12, and above the threshold pressure, the pressure value is derived from pressure measurements from the second sensor 14. The switch 18 may be a valve (40, fig. 4) which automatically disconnects the lower pressure sensor 12 when the pressure exceeds the threshold. The valve has a low pressure chamber (50, fig. 4) and a high pressure chamber (48, fig. 4) — the low pressure chamber is sealed when pressure is great enough to force a spring so that a conical valve end fits into a seat. The angled valve end allows the valve to open again when the pressure drops.

Title: An array of interconnected processors executing a cycle-based program
Inventor: HILL STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2008-10-22
Abstract: An integrated circuit 4 includes an array 10 of processors 26, each processor having a memory (32) storing a program, and interface circuitry 12 providing communication with further processing circuitry 14, e.g. a general-purpose processor or memory. Further circuitry 14 is driven by synchronous clock signals sclk. A higher-frequency array clock signal aclk is used to control processors 26. The processors within the array execute individual programs which together provide the functionality of a cycle-based program. During each program cycle of the cycle-based program, each processor executes its respective program starting from a predetermined execution start point to evaluate a next state of state variables of the cycle-based program. A boundary between program-cycles provides a synchronisation time (point) for processing operations performed by the array. Memories (32) are rewritable allowing in-field reprogramming of processors 26. The cycle-based program may be derived from a synthesisable subset of a hardware description language, e.g. register transfer level (RTL) descriptions, Verilog, facilitating effective parallelisation.

Title: Nozzle Interconnect
Inventor: MITCHELL THOMAS
IPC: B65B1/04
Filed: 2007-04-30
Abstract: An interconnect for a fuel dispensing nozzle which provides for sustained shut off of a nozzle when its spout is not inserted into the fill pipe of a fuel tank. When the spout inserts within the fill pipe its bellows or splashguard is forced rearwardly, for urging an interconnecting rod to move rearwardly, against the bias of a spring, to force a pivotal link to disengage from the automatic shut-off diaphragm, to allow it to function normally. But when the nozzle is removed from the fuel tank, the pivotal link contacts against the diaphragm structure, of the automatic shut-off, and prevents the nozzle from dispensing or delivering any fuel from the dispenser.

Abstract: 255,158. Standard Telephones & Cables, Ltd., Lowry, L. P., and Gould, J. R. April 17, 1925. Automatic and semi-automatic exchange systems.-In systems in which two hunting switches are substituted for one of a large capacity, a relay G operated when the second switch reaches its last terminal operates an overflow meter M, connects busy tone and flash BF to one end of the line relay A which it disconnects from ground, and completes an interrupter circuit over IB to hold up the release relay B. The relapse of relay B at any stage causes the switches to be released. In the system described the selector gives access to the lines of a large private branch exchange and a. lamp LP con. trolled by the back-bridge relay D and ringing cut off relay F is lit in series with a common supervisory relay if the called party hangs up first. Selection of an idle line. When a group selector seizes the selector, relays A, B, E, HS pull up and magnet DMA drives the switch SW1 which, if unsuccessful stops on its last terminals and provides driving and test circuits for magnet DMB of switch SW2. When either switch finds an idle line. relay K being no longer shortcircuited pulls up and relay HS falls back, at once if the wanted line switch is at rest, or when it reaches normal if it is in motion, being held in the latter case in series with the cut off relay. Ringing current and signal. Unnecessary digits. Relay E falls back on the relapse of relay HS and sends out ringing current from R, ring back tone leaking over QA. When the P.B.X. replies relay F operates in two steps and completes the connection. If the subscriber is still dialling at this stage, relay E temporarily disconnects the talking wipers. Busy signal; statistical metering. If the switch SW2 reaches its last terminals relay K pulls up and relays E,HS fall back as in the. case of an idle line but when relay HS falls back relay K is cut off by relay G which locks up operates a meter and sends back busy tone and flash as 'described in the opening paragraph. Release; statistical metering. Relapse of relay A is followed by that of relays B, F, K, D. (or B and G), and homing circuits are made for both switches in parallel with the windings of relay E which grounds the private wire and the release signal wire RS until both switches are home. The common release signal relay operates a a traffic meter.
