Title: A method of improving shift feel in an automatic transmission
Inventor: ROBICHAUX JERRY DEAN
IPC: F16H61/24
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: An automatic transmission 16 is operated by hydraulic pressure controlled by an electronic controller 18 receiving input from various senors. The controller 18 contains various look-up tables which are accessed to determine values relating to nominal pressure and dynamic pressure. Dynamic pressure, during a ratio change, is based on requested powertrain 12 output and rotational speed of, for example, engine 14. This dynamic pressure may be combined with a performance adder, based on a final output, and/or the nominal pressure to provide a final dynamic pressure. A command is then generated by the controller 18 to change, eg increase/decrease, the hydraulic pressure within the transmission 16 to equal the final dynamic pressure during the ratio change, thereby providing an acceptable shift feel. In other embodiments vehicle wheel torque and/or output shaft speed may be used to determine dynamic pressure. Also disclosed is a computer readable storage medium having stored instructions which are executable by a computer to carry out the control of the transmission 16.

Title: Evaluating a seismic survey
Inventor: LANSLEY ROY MALCOLM
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: A planned survey comprises several lines of receivers, preferably bottom-fixed or otherwise maintaining a fixed position, in the survey area. The survey area is divided into a number of "bins" of a convenient shape and size, such as squares with a side equal to half the receiver spacing (when the receivers are equally spaced on the receiver lines. The data from the suite of shot and receiver positions are analyzed and all shot-receiver pairs that have a common sort point (CSP) are assigned to the spatial bin in which the CSP is located. The CSP maybe a common mid-point (CMP). The data within each bin are analyzed to give a figure of merit of the adequacy of the sampling for each bin. These figures of merit are displayed in a color display that makes the inadequacies of the sampling apparent, making it possible to modify the planned acquisition geometry prior to the actual deployment of the receiver lines. Alternatively, a figure of merit is determined for the overall survey. To facilitate the evaluation, a neural net may be trained to evaluate the survey based upon the figure of merit.

Title: Transmission scheme with puncturing of channel coded data frames
Inventor: HAMALAINEN JARI
IPC: H04W28/06
Filed: 1997-02-07
Abstract: A scheme for data transmission in cellular telephone network (eg GSM) wherein data is placed with control data in a frame, which is channel encoded in a rate 1/2 channel encoder (eg a forward error correction convolutional encoder). The frame is then punctured and mapped onto a burst for transmission. The puncturing may involve the removal and/or replacement with further data of bits from the channel coded data frame. At the reception side the further data can be read off separately, and the removed/replaced bits can be treated as inaccurately received in the channel decoder which attempts to recover the original data frame from the depunctured channel coded data frame. In a further embodiment some of the control data may be replaced with further information prior to channel coding. In the examples given the burst that is transmitted may be a random access burst in a GSM system.

Patent GB-2365142-A (GB)
Title: Jamin type interferometer, retroreflector and manufacture of beam splitter
Inventor: DOWNS MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A retroreflector (32) has three mutually-orthogonal reflective surfaces arranged around an optical axis (12). The reflective surfaces stop short of the optical axis to provide a central region of the retroreflector which transmits incident light (M,N) and a peripheral region of the retroreflector which retroreflects incident light (C,D). When the reflector is used in a Jamin-type interferometer (10) with another reflector (34), this enables the interferometer to be used for measuring displacement between the reflectors. In the interferometer, a projected beam (M) is disposed between a pair of return beams (D,N) and/or one of the return beams (N) is disposed between a pair of the projected beams (C,M). This enables a first contiguous area of a face of a beam splitter (22) to be provided with a phase-shifting coating (28) to produce a phase quadrature relationship between a pair of interferogram beams (G,I). This simplifies the masking required when applying the coating (28). In manufacture (Fig 15) of the beam splitting member (22), a thin-film, beam-splitting, metal coating is applied to the member, and the member and coating are baked so as to modify the phase shift produced by the coating to enable the phase quadrature relationship. During baking a beam of light is projected at the coating with an angle of incidence of substantially   f  /4 radians so that the beam is split into a transmitted component and a reflected component. The intensities or phases of the transmitted and reflected components are monitored during baking, and the baking is terminated when the monitored intensities or phases have a predetermined relationship.
