Title: Method System And Programme For Managing Data Read Operations
Inventor: KRITHIVAS RAMAMURTHY
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for managing data read operations of a read command such as a read command packaged in an Internet Small Computer System Interface packet. In one embodiment, a network adapter has a microengine which obtains read target data from a cache coupled to the network adapter to respond to a read command packaged in a packet sent by an initiator over a network. If the network adapter cache does not have the target data addressed by the read command, the read command is forwarded to a target controller coupled to a storage unit to process the read command.

Title: Determining camera shake using multiple motion sensors
Inventor: HELBING RENE P
IPC: H04N5/14
Filed: 2006-08-24
Abstract: The invention provides method and apparatus for detecting camera shake. A plurality of motion sensors 304, 306, 308 are provided including a lens array 402, 404, 406 wherein each lens is positioned in the imaging path of respective motion sensors such that the image captured by one motion sensor is different to that captured by other motion sensors (i.e. a different portion 408, 410, 412 of the imaged scene is captured). By imaging different portions of the scene and determining motion vectors for each scene portion camera shake may be detected when the motion vectors for the different portions match. This overcomes the problem of camera shake being detected incorrectly when an object in the scene moves leading to a motion vector between images falsely indicating camera shake. By dividing the scene into a plurality of portions and determining a motion vector for each, camera shake is only detected if the motion vectors match indicating that the whole scene has moved by the same amount.

Title: Waterproof remote function actuator
Inventor: BUCCINNA FRANK
IPC: H05K5/06
Filed: 2006-12-15
Abstract: A waterproof remote function actuator (such as key fob or the like) 20 is formed by bonding a clear plastic foil 40 over the body of a plastic housing 23 having an opening 33 for display of components 38. The clear plastic foil 40 creates a chemical and mechanical bond over the entire surface of the housing 23, including the opening 33. This eliminates potential water leakage paths around the opening 33. In alternative arrangements, the clear plastic foil 40 also covers one or more actuator buttons 26 contained within other openings 31 in the plastic housing 23 to prevent water leakage paths between the one or more actuator buttons 26 and the plastic housing 23.

Title: Bricklaying alignment aid
Inventor: ANDERSON RICHARD JAMES
IPC: E04G21/18
Filed: 2006-12-19
Abstract: An alignment aid 10 for bricklaying comprises a rear portion 12, a bridging portion 14 and a front portion 16. The rear portion 12 includes a wing portion 12a having a substantially flat surface 12c which is perpendicular to another substantially flat surface 12b which, in use, engages an edge of a brick 30. Front portion 16 has a flat surface 18 which, in use, engages an upper surface 30a of the brick 30. The front surface 16 has a plate 16a on which are located level indicator means, e.g. spirit levels (20, 22, fig 1). When the aid 10 is positioned on the brick 30 the spirit levels (20, 22) provide reading related to the alignment of the aid with respect to a horizontal line that extends transversely across the brick 30. Owing to the configuration of the aid 10 with respect to the brick 30, it follows that when the spirit levels (20, 22) indicate a level alignment of the aid 10, the brick 30 is aligned horizontally along its transverse axis.

Title: Fuel Cell System
Inventor: TAKADA KAZUMASA
IPC: H01M8/06
Filed: 2007-10-09
Abstract: A fuel cell system is provided with a fuel cell, a reforming section, a burner section and a system controller, wherein in supplying offgas from a fuel pole of the fuel cell to the burner section, the system controller regulates the combustion at the burner section in consideration of the fact that the burner section is supplied with at least one of reforming fuel and combustion fuel which exists in the fuel pole of the fuel cell. Thus, even where the burner section is supplied with combustible fuel which differs from the combustible fuel existing in the fuel pole of the fuel cell, the air-fuel ratio can be maintained adequately, so that the emission of the exhaust gas from the burner section 25 can be prevented from becoming worse.

Abstract: A door closer 1 includes an anchor assembly 10 for mounting on a door frame, an actuator assembly 30 for mounting within the thickness of a door and an operating member 22 coupled by an articulated link 20 to the anchor assembly 10 and mounted for a range of movements between a retracted position and an extended position. A resilient driving apparatus 45 exerts a closing force on the operating member 22. A damper mechanism 50 is operatively connected to the operating member 22 so as to damp movement of the operating member 22 at least in a door closing direction. The damper mechanism includes a piston 51 in a cylinder 52 dividing the cylinder 52 into two chambers 65, 66, the piston 51 and the cylinder 52 relatively moving as the door is opened and closed, so that fluid flows from one chamber 65, 66 to the other, depending upon the direction of door movement. Damping is adjusted by an adjustable throttle 71 that restricts fluid flow from one of the chambers 65, 66 to the other as the door is drawn closed. The throttle 71 includes two elements 72, 74 in combination, one of the elements 72 includes a fluid flow path provided by groove 73, which extends around and along an axis about which and along which the one element 72 is moveable, the other of the two elements including a port 74 with which the groove 73 is brought into registry to provide a required fluid flow restriction. The relative separation of the two elements may be adjustable by an externally accessible adjustment member 78 to adjust the length of the fluid restriction path and adjust the flow restriction.

Title: Threat matrix analysis system
Inventor: MANGES JOANN T
IPC: G01V5/00
Filed: 2007-03-06
Abstract: A computerized system for evaluating a physical phenomenon. A data file defines at least one mathematical expression, and when multiple mathematical expressions are defined they are preferably defined in priority order. Each mathematical expression includes at least one physical variable. In other embodiments the mathematical expressions are Boolean expressions. A data acquisition system is configured to provide a measurement of physical parameters that correspond to the physical variables. An execution engine is configured for sequentially reading each mathematical expression in the priority order from the data file. The execution engine then takes the measurement of the physical parameter corresponding to each physical variable and evaluates each mathematical expression by directly substituting each measurement of a physical parameter for each corresponding physical variable. The execution engine then initiates and associated actionable output if the computational result of the mathematical expression evaluates to a threshold criterion, such as TRUE or as FALSE.

Title: Mounting charges in a perforating gun
Inventor: GOODMAN KENNETH R
IPC: E21B43/116
Filed: 2008-10-16
Abstract: A technique enabling the mitigation of detrimental forces created during perforation procedures involves mounting charges 40 in a loading tube 46 of a perforating gun 32 at an angle 54 that eliminates at least some of the detrimental forces. The charges are tilted at an angle 54 relative to an axis 56 of the perforating gun, and this mitigates the detrimental forces and reduces the potential for damaging the perforating gun and other associated equipment during a perforation procedure.

Title: Sub-carrier to symbol de-interleaver for DVB-T2 using odd interleaving
Inventor: TAYLOR MATTHEW PAUL ATHOL
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2008-10-24
Abstract: DVB-T and DVB-H receivers deinterleave symbols from sub-carriers using a pseudo random sequence generated using an LFSR (linear feedback shift register) 200 whose bits are fed through a permutation matrix 210 to generate the write address for a partitioned de-interleaver memory. The invention provides improved separation between symbols by using an odd interleaving process only (fig 9) for successive sets of data symbols, when the number of data symbols which can be carried per OFDM symbol is less than half the maximum that can be carried. Received data symbols are written using a generated address into the memory and sequentially read out. Applying a cyclic offset to the address that changes from symbol to symbol reduces the likelihood that successive data bits which are close in order are mapped onto the same sub-carrier of an OFDM symbol.
