Patent EP-1037060-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LUCAS CHRISTOPHER RICHARD
IPC: G01R27/06
Filed: 2000-03-13
Abstract: A scalar reflectometer for measuring Insertion Loss and Reflection Loss of a two-port
network (40) consists of a symmetrical arrangement of directional couplers (30, 130) each
having detectors (13, 14; 113, 114) for measuring incident and reflected power. A change
over switch (60) allows RF power from a signal source (10) to be directed to either port (42,
44) of the network according to the switch setting, thereby allowing the losses to be
determined in both directions without disturbing the connections to the network. Swept
measurements may be taken, the instantaneous frequency being conveyed by a connection
path (22) to a unit (20) which evaluates and displays the appropriate parameters being
measured. Circulators (12, 112) dispose of unwanted reflected and/or transmitted energy.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling torque disturbances
in direct injection stratified charge and lean burn port-fuel
injection engines (12) through continuously variable
transmission (40). The method and system include using the
continuously variable transmission (40) to mitigate the
effects of torque disturbances due to a lean NO x  trap (22)
purge cycle (100). The continuously variable transmission
(40) is co-ordinated with other engine variables, such as
throttle (36), fuelling rate (W f ), injection timing ( ), and
spark timing (*), to keep the operation near the optimal
regime. In periods of trap (22) purge, the engine control
variables and the continuously variable transmission (40)
are co-ordinated to maximise purge efficiency for a
predetermined period of time. In periods of normal
operation (102), the engine control variables and the
continuously variable transmission (40) are co-ordinated to
minimise fuel consumption subject to emission constraints.

Abstract: Audio or other information is delivered to a user via a multi-stream digital
broadcasting system in a partially-encrypted form. The information is encoded and
separated into multiple bitstreams, at least a subset of which are left unencrypted. Both the
encrypted and unencrypted bitstreams are received and stored by the user. A user is able,
for at least a limited period of time, to access the information at a first quality level, e.g., an
FM-quality level for audio information, without having the corresponding decryption key,
by utilizing only the unencrypted bitstreams. The user can then access an electronic-commerce
web site to purchase the decryption key. The key may be downloaded from the
site to an information processing device of the user, and may be utilized to decrypt the
partially-encrypted format, such that the user is provided with access to the information at
a second quality level higher than the first quality level, e.g., a CD-quality level for audio
information. The multiple bitstreams may correspond, e.g., to subbands of at least first and
second digital sidebands of a host carrier signal in an FM in-band on-channel (FM-IBOC)
digital audio broadcasting system.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for producing a low density foam
concrete, in which a recycled, excavated material is used to
form the concrete mix. The material may be crushed and graded
and used in a ratio of 6:1 with the cement component. A
preformed foam may be used to obtain a high void volume and a
placticiser added to improve fluidity. The foam concrete is
manufactured on-site on a continuous basis using a mobile
concrete making vehicle (1) having an elongate tubular mixer
(4) into which the components are introduced at selected
points (20A,20B,20C) along its length, so as to control the
final composition of the mix. The mixer (4) has internal
agitating means (22) that cause backflow to enable the
concrete to be dispensed directly at ground level.

Abstract: An optical wavelength add/drop multiplexer (WADM) is configured to add
or drop two or more signals each associated with one of a plurality of channels
in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal. The WADM comprises an
optical circulator that is optically coupled at one port to two or more serially
interconnected fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), and is optically coupled at another
port to a thin film filter including two or more serially interconnected thin film filter
elements. Each of the two or more FBGs is matched with a thin film filter
element, both arranged to be responsive to signals associated with one of the
plurality of channels. Bandwidth and dispersion properties for the FBGs are
selected to permit operation of the WADM at two distinct signal data rates. To
equalize associated insertion losses in embodiments of the invention arranged
to add or drop two or more signals, the FBGs are matched to the thin film filter
elements in inverse order with respect to their optical distance from the optical
circulator.

Abstract: A method for "unsending" an electronic mail (email) message that has
not reached an intended recipient or has not been read by the recipient. When a
sender invokes an "unsend" function after sending a message, a duplicate message
is transmitted (32) with a detectable unsend tag in the message header. The unsend
tag, if detected (40) in a mail server (14, 18) through which the message passes,
causes the server to check the authenticity (44) of the duplicate message and, if the
message is still in the server (48), to delete the original and duplicate messages (50)
and advise the sender that the message has been "unsent." If the original message
has already passed through the server, the duplicate message with the "unsend" tag
is forwarded to the next server (52). If the message has reached one of its final
destinations, it may still be deleted (50') if not already deleted or read by the recipient.
If the message has already been deleted or read by the user, only the duplicate
message is deleted (54) and the sender is advised that an "unsend" is not possible
for this recipient.
