Title: A head up display system with ghost image elimination means
Inventor: STEVENSON ASHLEY
IPC: B60K35/00
Filed: 2008-03-31
Abstract: A head up display system includes a display generator 1, an imaging mirror 2 and a windscreen 3 which is anamorphic with respect to reflected light. The angles at which light from the display generator is reflected off the mirror and the windscreen, together with the anamorphism of the windscreen, provide a residual astigmatism that eliminates ghost image effects. The imaging mirror may be part of a spherical mirror. Astigmatism produced by offset imaging using a concave spherical mirror is used to image the tangential focus at infinity, while the virtual sagittal focus lies in the driver's comfort zone between 2 and 3 metres from the driver's eye. The infinite tangential focus ensures that despite the light beams reflected from each of the surfaces of the vehicle windscreen, 3, being displaced vertically relative to one another, the two images reflected therein are brought to the same focal point on the retina of the driver's eye, 4, causing them to coincide.

Title: Symbol to sub-carrier interleaver for DVB-T2 wherein the permutation matrix applied to the LFSR bits is varied from OFDM symbol to OFDM symbol
Inventor: TAYLOR MATTHEW PAUL ATHOL
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2008-10-24
Abstract: DVB-T and DVB-H (de)interleave symbols to/from sub-carriers using a pseudo random sequence generated using an LFSR (linear feedback shift register) <B>200</B> whose bits are fed through a permutation matrix <B>210</B> to generate the read/write address for the interleaver memory. The invention provides improved separation between symbols either by applying an offset to the addresses that changes from symbol to symbol, or by changing the permutation matrix from symbol to symbol. The invention normally uses a rotating sequence of offsets or matrices. The interleaver can also switch between a mode wherein a memory location is written to with the next symbol immediately after the current symbol has been read (Fig. 4), when the number of sub-carriers exceeds half the number of memory locations, and a mode where alternate symbols are each assigned their own memory locations otherwise (Figs. 9 and 10).
