IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 2007-07-12
Abstract: A method for planning trajectories, in particular for flying objects, comprises the following steps: discretising a region between a starting point SP and a destination EP by establishing a first node grid Gl; establishing a polygonal path 1 which is optimal with regard to a predetermined optimisation parameter from among the possible polygonal paths ending at the starting point and destination and extending over the first node grid; and improving the optimal polygonal path by discretising a predeterminable region G around the polygonal path by establishing a more finely divided second node grid G2; and establishing a further finer path 2 with regard to the optimisation parameter from among the possible paths ending at the starting point and destination and extending over the second node grid. Preferably, the optimal path is determined using Dijkstra's dual algorithm.

Title: Machining Apparatus
Inventor: BISHOP JEFFREY CHARLES
IPC: B24C3/08
Filed: 2007-10-30
Abstract: Forming components such as blades (3) for gas turbine engines requires use of erosion and cutting techniques. In such circumstances the component (3) must be robustly presented in a clamping arrangement (8, 9; 25A,B, 28) but also cut or eroded appropriately to avoid stressing upon the component which may cause rejection and failure in use. By utilising a water-jet (23) which is fixed and static and manipulating a component in itself in an appropriate clamp arrangement (8, 9; 25A,B, 28) it is possible to achieve accurate forming and shaping of a component (3) using the water-jet whilst avoiding over-stressing of the finally formed component.

Title: Flow control for chromatography high pressure pump.
Inventor: CORRAL JOSE LUIS DE
IPC: F04B49/06
Filed: 2005-07-06
Abstract: A flow control system for controlling a high pressure pump in a chromatography system having a primary piston and an accumulator piston. The accumulator piston delivers solvent to the system and the primary piston transfers solvent to refill the accumulator piston and delivers solvent to the system while the accumulator piston is refilling. The flow control system comprises a closed loop feedback for controlling the velocity of the primary piston between the end of compression and the start of transfer by instructing the primary piston to compress the solvent before transfer is due by adjusting the velocity of the primary piston to maintain the primary pressure below the accumulator pressure such that adiabatic heating effects are mitigated before transfer starts.

Title: Board game
Inventor: AJUDUA TOKUNBO ADERINWA
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 2008-05-01
Abstract: A board game includes 144 sequentially numbered squares in a 12x12 grid defining a track from a start square to an end square, an 'over count' track of squares numbered 145-165 leading from the end square, 'even', 'odd' and 'final' playing pieces for each player, and two six-sided dice for determining movement of the pieces. One die bears even numbers from 2-12, and the other bears odd numbers from 1-11. The even & odd pieces are moved according to the number shown on the respective even and odd die when rolled. Some of the squares are 'bonus' or 'danger' squares instructing that pieces are moved forwards or backwards to another square, with the destination squares for each bonus/danger square being listed on the board. Once his even and odd pieces have reached the over count track, a player moves his final piece using the sum of both dice. The finishing square numbers of the odd and even pieces in the over count track are used to determine a first winner, and the finishing square of the final pieces determine the winner in the event of a tie. The pieces may be magnetically attracted to the board.

Title: Method of controlling torque converter clutch pressure during coast downshift
Inventor: HOLTZ VINCENT
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2008-12-05
Abstract: A method of controlling the torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure during coast downshift events comprises computing a coast pressure compensation at a beginning of the downshift and then applying the coast pressure compensation on the torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure during the coast downshift. With such pressure compensation it is possible to stay in regulation mode which compensates for undesired pressure peaks and improves both shift quality and fuel consumption. The pressure compensation is based on a 3D table function of turbine speed and turbine acceleration and the torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure is ramped down along a ramp slope to the compensating pressure which is maintained until an end of the downshift. The ramp slope may be modified via calibration. Torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure is maintained during a delay phase, decreased instantaneously at a beginning of a time phase, maintained at the compensated pressure during the time phase and end phase and ramped up to an uncompensated pressure. First level compensation is stored if another downshift is commanded.

Title: Data cache virtual hint way prediction, and applications thereof
Inventor: YU MENG-BING
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2007-09-28
Abstract: A virtual hint based data cache way prediction scheme, and applications thereof. In an embodiment, a processor retrieves data from a data cache based on a virtual hint value or an alias way prediction value and forwards the data to dependent instructions before a physical address for the data is available. After the physical address is available, the physical address is compared to a physical address tag value for the forwarded data to verify that the forwarded data is the correct data. If the forwarded data is the correct data, a hit signal is generated. If the forwarded data is not the correct data, a miss signal is generated. Any instructions that operate on incorrect data are invalidated and/or replayed.
