Title: Active tag for electronic designs and IP cores
Inventor: KEAN THOMAS A
IPC: G06F21/76
Filed: 2006-12-06
Abstract: A security tag for electronic designs implemented on integrated circuits (eg ASIC or FPGA) uses a transmitter to transmit tag data to an external sensor. The security tag is activated by an activation code sent to the security tag from an external transmitter. The security tag transmits data which indicates the presence of the electronic design to the external detector, for purposes of detecting and preventing unauthorized use of the electronic design. The security tag may use changes in temperature to receive the activation code from the external transmitter, and to send the security tag data to the external sensor. The security tag may use the electronic design associated with the security tag to generate the signals used to transmit the tag data. Alternatively, the security tag may use a dedicated heat generator, such as a collection of ring oscillators, to send these signals. The security tag may use a thermal receiver such as a ring oscillator to receive a thermal signal bearing the activation code from the external transmitter. An alternative tag is described in which the tag data transmitter is run continuously.

Title: Pattern writing on a rotating substrate
Inventor: HOYLE PHILIP CLIFFORD
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A method of processing an array of islands (12) on concentric tracks (13) on a rotating substrate by selective exposure of an electron-sensitive surface of the substrate to an electron beam comprises directing the beam onto a point (A) on the surface within a zone of action of the beam and deflecting the beam in the sense (31) of substrate rotation to remain on the point until the point (A') has received an electron dose from the beam. The beam is then redirected onto a further point (B or T) at a spacing from the preceding point (A') and dosed by the beam in similar manner. The redirection and deflection procedure is repeated for at least one substrate revolution, preferably several revolutions, so that points are dosed along at least one of the tracks (13a), preferably several of the tracks (13a to 13j). The same procedure is then repeated, in conjunction with continuous or periodic linear displacement of the substrate perpendicularly to its axis of rotation to shift the zone of action across the substrate, until points are dosed along all intended tracks on the substrate, the totality of dosed points forming the array of islands.

Title: Absorbent gelling wound care device
Inventor: HARDY CRAIG JULIAN
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 2008-09-17
Abstract: An absorbent wound care device comprises two or more materials which individually do not gel when exposed to a fluid but do gel when brought together and exposed to a fluid. The deice is particularly intended for haemostatic use and for absorbing bodily fluids being emitted from wounds and physiological target sites. The two materials of the wound care device may be mixed in the device or may be in separate layers or sections of the device. The two materials may be formed as part of a component of a more complicated structure with backings, adhesives and wound contacting parts. The first material may be an absorbent polymer such as chitosan or partially de-acetylated chitin or chitin salts. The materials may be formed as fibers to produce a fibrous wound dressing. The second material may be associated with one or more acids, and may particularly be lactic, acetic or succinic acids. When the dressing is placed on a wound fluid from the wound may cause the acid from the second material to be released and come into contact with the first material to form a swelling gelling material.

Title: Creating input parameters for a structural health monitoring algorithm
Inventor: PADO LAWRENCE E
IPC: G01N29/44
Filed: 2008-10-15
Abstract: A method for determining input parameters of an algorithmic system (e.g. a neural network in a structural health monitoring system SHM) for evaluating structural damage includes transmitting 204,222 and receiving 206,224 signals through a structure before and after imposing damage 218, using pairs of transducers arranged in an array, and storing 208, 226 the received signals. Characteristics of the damage, especially dimensions, are measured 220. The stored signals are compared and a plurality of damage index factors are calculated 236. A condensed set of damage index factors is determined from the plurality of damage index factors 237. The set of condensed damage index functions are correlated 238 with the measured characteristics of the imposed damage to determine correlation indexes. Input parameters for the algorithmic system are selected 240 from amongst the set of condensed damage index functions if their correlation index meets a predetermined criterion. Once the algorithmic system is trained in this way it can be used to evaluate a test piece.

The system may be used to reduce the humidity inside the building. In use, the exterior cladding improves the insulation of existing buildings and maintains a steady temperature inside the building by controlling the rate of heat loss for cooling and solar gain for heating.

Abstract: A method of facilitating handover of a dual-mode subscriber station, which can communicate using a first and a second protocol, from a serving base station to a target base station in a wireless communications system, e.g. IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX). The serving base station is operable to communicate with the subscriber station using the first protocol, e.g. IEEE 802.16e, and the target base station is operable to communicate with the subscriber station using both the first protocol and the second protocol, e.g. IEEE 802.16e and IEEE 802.16m, one of the two protocols being selected for use with the subscriber station at any one time. The method further comprises, during the handover and before ranging, the subscriber station receiving a notification indicating whether the subscriber station should communicate with the target base station using the second protocol. Hence, the invention aims to provide backwards compatibility for legacy subscriber stations whilst providing the enhanced features of new protocols for new subscriber stations.
