Title: Customisation of a generic project plan
Inventor: ALLEN RICHARD TREVOR
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: At least one generic project plan or template recipe is stored in a computer. Specific parameter values are entered into this template to generate a customised plan, which may take the form of a set of instructions for performing a task. Calculations may be performed on the input parameters to determine further parameters for inclusion in the customised plan, which may be subdivided. Applications for this technique include DIY project planning and the scaling of cookery recipes. Ingredients may be scaled linearly, in a stepped fashion or in a non-linear fashion. The database of plans may be linked to a retail outlet so that the most economical way of purchasing ingredients can be determined and a shopping list produced. A map may show the customer the most efficient route around the shop. The database may be accessible through interactive television and advertised on a television program.

Title: Process for degasolining a gas containing condensable hydrocarbons
Inventor: DOERLER NICOLE
IPC: C10G5/06
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: A process for degasolining by refrigeration of a gas containing condensable hydrocarbons, which is effected in the presence of methanol to avoid the formation of hydrates, said process making it possible to at least partially recover the methanol entrained in the gas, by washing same by means of a liquid hydrocarbon fraction. The said liquid hydrocarbon phase which is used to remove methanol from the said gas comes from a condensation step prior to the degasolining step. The process described thus makes it possible to avoid having to compensate for the loss of methanol by a continuous make-up, as is the case with conventional processes. It accordingly enjoys enhanced levels of performance and economy.

Patent GB-2398711-A (GB)
Title: Time-varying data communication using neural networks supplied with parameters
Inventor: DODGSON TERENCE EDWIN
IPC: H04L27/20
Filed: 2003-02-18
Abstract: Time-dependent data is coded and modulated by a neural network comprising multi-layer perceptrons (MLP). For each extended neuron (120) in a layer (302, fig.8), serial in parallel out (SIPO) buffers (122) allow previous inputs and outputs to model the function as well as present ones, and these gates are cyclically blocked or opened according to a switching control word. The output from the entire extended neuron is similarly controlled by a timing control waveform (350, fig.8). These control signals specifying which neurons are on or off at a given time determine whether the system is in training mode or running mode. Different channel coding, compression coding, modulation (eg. QPSK) or demodulation (eg. Viterbi) schemes can be emulated or "learned" by different parts of the neural network by having new parameters sent to different neuron layers, allowing a transceiver comprising such a network to act as a "software radio".

Title: Partial dead code elimination optimizations for program code conversion
Inventor: BOLTON IAN GRAHAM
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2003-09-24
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for performing program code conversion is provided and, more particularly, for generating improved intermediate representations for use in program code conversion. During program code conversion, a partial dead code elimination optimization technique is implemented to identify partially dead register definitions within a block of program code being translated. The partial dead code elimination is an optimization to the intermediate representation in the form of code motion for blocks of program code ending in non-computed branches or computed jumps, where target code for all dead child nodes of a partially dead register definition is prevented from being generated and target code for partially dead child nodes of a partially dead register definition is delayed from being generated until after target code is generated for all fully live child nodes for the partially dead register definition.
