Patent GB-2305243-A (GB)
Title: Vibratory ground-survey system
Inventor: ANSTEY NIGEL ALLISTER
IPC: G01V1/153
Filed: 1996-07-24
Abstract: A rotatory vibrating system is used in surveys of the acoustic properties of the shallow earth. The vibrator itself is of eccentric-mass (or "swinging-weight") form. Coupled to a flywheel, it decelerates freely from a selected high frequency to a selected low frequency. The observed deceleration rate is used to give a measure of the said acoustic properties. The eccentricity of the vibrator is then annulled, and the flywheel and vibrator accelerated back to the selected high frequency for another measurement at another location. Display means are provided to facilitate visual interpretation of the results. The means of annulling the eccentricity may involve two balanced weights (18,19) for the acceleration phase, one of the weights (18) being able to roll in a curved track (17) to the unbalanced position (18A) for the deceleration phase. The first sufficient deceleration automatically throws the weight (18) around the track, and the first sufficient acceleration throws it back again.

Abstract: Polyarylene ether for optical communications, expressed by the formula 1: wherein X1, X2, X3 and X4 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, fluoride, chloride, Y1 and Y2 are independently hydrogen or fluorine, Q1 and Q2 is independently hydrogen or chloride, A is selected from the group consisting -O-, -S-, -P(OR)-, -C(CF3)2-, -(CF2)#-, -(CCl2)#-, -CO- and -SO2- (where R is trifluoromethyl (CF3), trichloromethyl (CCl3)' pentafluorophenyl or pentachlorophenyl, and # is integer of 1#8), m, is 1 or 2, m2 is 0, 1 or 2, 0#n#1, and 0#k#1 (where n and k represent mole fraction, and n+k=1). The polyarylene ether has excellent resistance to heat and film processing properties and the light absorption loss in the wavelength range for optical communications is low. Also, by controlling the copolymerization ratio of a monomer whose hydrogen of C-H bond is substituted by F and a monomer whose hydrogen of C-H bond is substituted by Cl, the refractive index of the polymer can be adjusted to a level suitable for an optical material used for optical communications.

Title: Pump motor control in electro-hydraulic braking systems
Inventor: HARRIS ALAN LESLIE
IPC: F04B49/06
Filed: 1998-11-27
Abstract: In a vehicle braking system in which fluid stored in an accumulator 111 is used to apply the wheel brakes of the vehicle under the control of an electronic unit ECU, the accumulator is replenished by means of a pump 110 driven by an electric motor M. The speed of the motor M is controlled in dependence upon whether or not any vehicle dynamic function, such as ABS, TC and VSC, is active. If it is deduced that one or more vehicle dynamic functions is active, then the pump 110 is run at high/full, and relatively noisy, speed, but if it is concluded that only base braking is being applied with no vehicle dynamic function being active, then the pump is operated at a relative slower and hence quieter speed. In certain situations, the accumulator is cut-off and the wheel brakes are pressurised directly by the pump.

Title: Allocating paths to fingers in a CDMA rake receiver
Inventor: OHSUGE MICHIHIRO
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1999-09-20
Abstract: The process of allocating multi-path signals to rake fingers involves performing an operation (e.g. multiplication) between a weighting function and a delay profile representing signal power with respect to time delay. The weighting function or coefficient acts to heighten the peaks corresponding to currently allocated paths relative to the peaks of new candidate paths (see figures 5a-5c). This provides hysteresis for the detection of path timing and prevents small fluctuations in the delay profile from causing frequent finger reassignment. A sliding correlator 7 derives the delay profile and a profile power adder 8 averages path variations due to fading and the like. The profile is then multiplied by the weighting coefficient in weighting unit 12 and a correlation peak position detecting unit 14 detects the timing of the stronger paths. The detected path timings are notified from a rake path allocating unit 15 to respective fingers 5.

Title: Steam generator arrangement
Inventor: LOESEL GEORG
IPC: F22B37/24
Filed: 1993-02-24
Abstract: A steam generator configuration, in particular of a low temperature carbonization-combustion plant, includes a supporting structure. A flue gas channel is disposed in the supporting structure and has a first vertical segment, a second at least approximately horizontal segment, and a third vertical segment being connected through the second segment to the first segment to form a structural unit. Supporting members suspend the first segment in the supporting structure in order to avoid restrictions to expansion and deformation of the flue gas channel as a result of thermal expansion. The supporting members are in an oblique or slanted position relative to the vertical in a cold condition. The oblique position essentially corresponds to a thermal expansion of the second horizontal segment in a hot condition. The supporting elements are parallel to the vertical in the hot condition. Thus, regardless of the operating state, the flue gas channel remains a structural unit that allows free thermal expansion in the vertical and horizontal directions.
