Title: Predicting the post-operative position of a replacement intraocular lens
Inventor: OLSEN THOMAS
IPC: A61B3/10
Filed: 2011-03-09
Abstract: In particular, the invention relates to the determination of the post-operative position of an intraocular lens (IOL) in an eye of a patient undergoing lens replacement surgery, which involves determining the position of the existing crystalline lens in the pre-operative eye of the patient and determining the thickness of the lens in the pre-operative eye, and using that data proportioned by a single numerical constant to predict the post-operative intraocular lens position. The predetermined numerical constant is a function of the intraocular lens type and is calculated from measured examples. The measurements may be taken using laser interferometry or ultrasound. Anterior chamber depth or axial position may be used to determine the pre-operative position of the lens. Related methods of selecting, designing and implanting a suitable IOL based on the predicted position, refractive models and the resulting optical properties, and computer programs for performing the methods of the invention, are also disclosed.

Title: Frequency error estimation
Inventor: YOUNG ROBERT
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 2012-05-11
Abstract: A method is described of determining a frequency offset/error 409, for example, between a carrier frequency of a transmitter and receiver 402. A method for determining a frequency error embodied in a series of values, each comprising a phase component, by a change in those phase components across the series, comprising: processing each of two or more selected values with another value in the series, each other value being spaced from its respective selected value by a first spacing, to generate processed values that all comprise substantially the same phase component 405; combining the processed values to generate a combined value that comprises substantially the same phase component as the processed values; repeating the processing and combining with the same selected values but a second spacing, different from the first spacing, to generate a combined value comprising a different phase component from the combined value generated using the first spacing, reflecting the frequency error; and determining the frequency error in dependence on the combined values generated using the first and second spacings. Each value in the series may represent a comparison between a received signal and a known sequence, such as a synchronization word of a preamble. The comparison may be performed by selecting a section of the received signal, performing a correlation operation between the selected section and the known sequence 403, and designating the result of that correlation as a value in the series. The processing of each of the selected values with respective other values may comprise a correlation operation. Each of the series of values comprises a wanted component and noise, the method comprising processing the series of values and combining the processed values such that the wanted components are coherently combined and the noise is incoherently combined to improve the signal to noise ratio of the combined values. The frequency error may be determined in dependence on the slope of a straight line 408 representing the linear relationship of phase changes across the combined values.

Patent GB-2513830-A (GB)
Title: Telemetry method and apparatus
Inventor: THURSBY JONATHAN
IPC: H04L27/38
Filed: 2013-02-28
Abstract: The invention performs coarse phase synchronisation until the received signal has positive in-phase and quadrature parts 702. It then performs fine phase synchronisation by calculating the vector product of the received signal with a quantised symbol output from a 2D slicer 705. A look up table of phase correction values is referenced with the cross product value 706. This value is fed through a loop filter to an oscillator/signal synthesiser which generates in-phase and quadrature signals for demodulation (See Fig. 6). This process may be repeated until the phase error/offset is less than a threshold 707. The process is carried out on a preamble signal of a QAM signal. The system may be used for wellbore telemetry communications. The description also discloses initialisation schemes for power, gain and equalisation filter settings.

Title: Video coding and decoding
Inventor: MRAK MARTA
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2013-04-19
Abstract: Video encoding comprising dividing an image into blocks and, for the current block, generating a residual block, selecting first direction N which determines a predictor of each sample in the residual block, calculating the difference between each residual block sample and its predictor, and for at least some block samples, calculating differences between the samples and a second predictor based on a second direction M. The resulting differential residual block is entropy encoded. Preferably the predictor modes can be horizontal or vertical. Preferably, the calculation of secondary differences is inhibited for larger block sizes and is not applied in intra-coded blocks. The primary N and secondary M directions may be derived from other block parameters or signalled in the bitstream. In one embodiment, secondary directions are only calculated for samples at which no differences are calculated in the first direction. In particular, if the primary direction is horizontal, this applies to the first column. This video encoding method is related to Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM). A decoding method is also claimed.
