Patent GB-2503889-A (GB)
Title: A switched-mode envelope tracking supply with reduced interference
Inventor: WILSON MARTIN
IPC: G05F1/614
Filed: 2012-07-10
Abstract: An envelope-tracking power supply for an RF transmitter amplifier 108 comprises a switched-mode supply 102 linked by inductor 106 to current-output error amplifier 104, both amplifiers receiving a reference envelope signal from detector 107. The switched supply 102 is efficient but generates interference. To counteract this interference, impedance 200 is inserted to provide a feedback signal which causes the amplifier 104 to absorb interference current from the switching amplifier 102 and thus divert it from the load 108. For effective cancellation the impedance should be the reciprocal of the amplifier transconductance, and for an amplifier with a single-pole response the impedance may thus be implemented as a chip inductor or length of track. Good interference suppression is achieved with a low amplifier transconductance, allowing good stability. A second order feedback circuit may be used (figure 5) to match second order frequency compensation of the error amplifier. The technique may be applied to prevent blocking a receiver by the transmitter in an FDD transceiver.

Title: Process and apparatus for removal of oxygen from seawater
Inventor: CHUANG KARL T
IPC: B01D19/00
Filed: 2011-11-14
Abstract: A process and apparatus is provided for reduction of dissolved oxygen content in seawater from about 8 ppm in the feed seawater to about 10 ppb or less. Significant advantages are achieved by: use of a separator in horizontal alignment to provide high gas-liquid contacting area for separation and de- entrainment within the separator, thereby providing higher throughput; and heating seawater to at least 30 Â°C and up to 60 Â°C, so as to enhance removal of oxygen from seawater; use of once-through fuel gas as stripping gas and its subsequent combustion for heating the seawater provides for high efficiency and reduction of fouling. The combination of these features allows the amount of residual oxygen in deoxygenated seawater to be reduced to below 10 ppb and as low as 2 ppb.

Patent GB-2521702-A (GB)
Title: Frequency fine tuning
Inventor: STORY MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: H03B5/08
Filed: 2014-08-06
Abstract: An oscillator 30 comprises a current supply 36 which supplies current to an inductive element and a capacitive element in a tank circuit 31, and to transistors 34 and 35. The capacitive element 33 has a variable capacitance for coarsely tuning the output signal frequency. Fine tuning is accomplished by varying the current supply 36. This is possible because of parasitic capacitances in the circuit. It is disclosed that a change in operating current causes a change in average bias voltage across the transistors 34 and 35, which leads to a change in parasitic capacitance. This is a combination of junction capacitance, which increases as average voltage decreases, and gate capacitance, which decreases as voltage decreases. It can be well defined for device geometry. Thus, a change in operating current can be used to vary the frequency of the LC tank 31. It is stated that tuning in this way can avoid the low Q that can result when a bank of capacitors is used, due to the circuitry required by the bank, which is not required in the present invention.
