Title: Method and system for the creation, enhancement and update of remote databases using persistent keys
Inventor: MOONEY JAMES E
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-07-21
Abstract: A method and system for the creation, enhancement and update of data on a customer database (210) uses data from a central database (224) and persistent keys (610) that are linked to each of the data structures (510) involved. The persistent keys (610) allow matching of equivalent data structures (510) between the remote (312) and central (224) databases so that enhancement data from the central database (224) can be overlaid onto the customer database (210). The persistent keys (510) also make the update of data on the customer database (210) more efficient, since key matching (664) allows the transfer of only the data that is needed to update the customer database (210). Data may be transferred from the central database (224) to the customer database (210) either in batch mode or in a near real-time mode through a direct table join. The linking feature of the persistent keys (610) further allows the linkage of the customer database (210) and the central database (224) to create a multidimensional database.

Title: Dual speed transmission
Inventor: MOWBRAY GRAHAM
IPC: F16H3/14
Filed: 2004-07-20
Abstract: A two speed transmission system particularly for marine use includes a first clutch for connecting an input shaft to a co-axial output shaft, a lay shaft typically parallel to the input and output shafts, a first gear train for connecting the input shaft to the lay shaft for driving the same via the input shaft, and a second gear train connecting the lay shaft to the output shaft. The first clutch connects the input shaft to the output shaft; and a second clutch connects the input shaft to the output shaft via the lay shaft giving a gear ratio other than one to one. The gear trains are selected to provide a higher gearing i.e. faster spinning of the lay shaft when the second clutch is engaged. A control system receives inputs from various sensors including clutch pressure sensors, sensors measuring the speed of the input shaft and output shafts respectively and sensors providing information relating to the position of gears in the gear trains and controls the first and second clutches. Control valves and electro-hydraulic solenoids may be used to provide controlled clutch slip for docking and other functions where very low speeds of the order of a few knots may be desired. The control system may also be used to control the solenoid to allow slipping of the clutch when initiating movement of the watercraft to avoid the problem of 'clunking' as the boat is put into, or taken out of, gear.

Patent NZ-549124-A (NZ)
Title: Method of signaling reverse channel information with minimal voice/data delay
Inventor: BIGGS ROBERT A
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2005-02-22
Abstract: In a time division multiple access system, a subscriber listens to an assigned channel (300) and an alternate channel (302) until a location of reverse channel signalling is determined for the assigned channel. The subscriber also obtains a fixed periodic rate (304) for the reverse channel signalling. Based on the fixed periodic rate, the subscriber selectively listens to the alternate channel to receive reverse channel signalling while transmitting information on the assigned channel. The base repeater, however, selects the fixed periodic rate for reverse channel signalling and transmits the reverse channel signalling at the fixed periodic rate to the transmitting subscriber. If the base repeater receives a burst belonging to a superframe and determines that any burst in the superframe will collide with the reverse channel signalling, the base repeater buffers any received burst in the superframe and transmits the buffered bursts at a subsequent time.
Patent NZ-552270-A (NZ)
Title: Detection of wideband interference
Inventor: COULSON ALAN JAMES
Filed: 2006-12-21
Abstract: A method of detecting interference in a received sample vector using hidden Markov modelling by first estimating noise variance is disclosed. Estimating the noise variance comprises the steps of receiving a sample vector of noise and interference, sorting the sample vector in the frequency domain by order of increasing magnitude to produce an ordered vector, finding a sub-vector of the ordered vector that minimises the distance from a noise measure, and estimating the noise variance. The method of detecting interference comprises receiving a sample vector X of noise and interference, finding a set of parameters that maximise p(X ] T, P, I) where T is the transition probability between states, P is the observation probability and I is the initial state, determining a state sequence from the set of parameters and determining wideband interference from the state sequence.
