Title: An optical communication system using techniques borrowed from UWB radio technology, such as correlating a received PPM signal with a stored training signal
Inventor: MOORE MARK JUSTIN
IPC: H04B10/66
Filed: 2005-07-28
Abstract: The invention is applicable to wired or wireless optical data communications, preferably using infra-red radiation. In one embodiment the data is transmitted using pulse position modulation (PPM). A training sequence is sent from the transmitter to the receiver and the receiver stores an electrical representation of the received training sequence, or information deduced using the training sequence, in memory as a reference signal. The applicant refers to the reference signal as a "reference channel response signal". Received electrical representations of the PPM signals are correlated with the reference signal to detect pulse positions and thus demodulate the data. In one embodiment the transmitter modulates the PPM data with a pseudo-random sequence in a time domain spreading technique. The correlation operation is preferably performed on digitised signals. The optical receiver of the invention may be combined with a UWB radio system, preferably for use in a home network.

Title: Determining the arrival times of ions at an ion detector
Inventor: BATEMAN ROBERT HAROLD
IPC: H01J49/02
Filed: 2006-06-01
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein voltage signals from an ion detector are analysed. A second differential of each voltage signal is obtained and the start and end times of observed voltage peaks are determined. The intensity and average time of each voltage peak is then determined and the intensity and time values are stored. An intermediate composite mass spectrum is then formed by combining the intensity and time values which relate to each voltage peak observed from multiple experimental runs. The various pairs of time and intensity data are then integrated to produce a smooth continuum mass spectrum. The continuum mass spectrum may then be further processed by determining the second differential of the continuum mass spectrum. The start and end times of mass peaks observed in the continuum mass spectrum may be determined. The intensity and mass to charge ratio of each mass peak observed in the continuum mass spectrum may then determined. A final discrete mass spectrum comprising just of an intensity value and mass to charge ratio per species of ion may then be displayed or output.

Title: Straight flow reversing valve
Inventor: MORENO JACK A
IPC: F16K11/074
Filed: 2005-08-17
Abstract: Provided is a reversing valve that can reverse flow in a refrigeration system. The reversing valve includes a valve body extending between a first end and an opposing second end. Multiple ports are disposed through the first and second ends. In one aspect, to reduce the pressure drop across the valve body, flow is channeled generally straightly between the ends. This is accomplished by a valve member defining a channel that is coupled to a port at the first end while pivotally movable to intersect different ports at the second end. Flow direction in the system is determined by which port at the second end is intersected. In another aspect, to move the valve member, the reversing valve includes a permanent magnet joined to the valve member and an electromagnet extending partly around the valve body. Applying different polarities to the electromagnet moves the permanent magnet and the valve member.

Title: Bandwidth resource allocation in a mobile communication system.
Inventor: GUO ZIHUA
IPC: H04W28/16
Filed: 2007-09-11
Abstract: The method divides bandwidth resources in a particular sector of a sectored cellular network into "private" bandwidth resource for use by mobiles in that sector and a "public" bandwidth resource, which can be lent to other sectors.
