Title: Method and apparatus for reducing simultaneous switching output noise using dynamic bus inversion
Inventor: VOLK ANDREW
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 2001-10-12
Abstract: : An embodiment of a computer system implementing dynamic bus inversion includes a first system logic device having a dynamic bus inversion encoder and also includes a second system logic device having a dynamic bus inversion decoder. The first and second system logic devices are coupled via a data bus. The encoder compares a group of data bits currently placed on the data bus with a next group of data bits to be placed on the data bus. If the encoder determines that greater than a predetermined number of bit transitions would occur between the current and next group of data bits, the encoder inverts the next group of data bits before placing the next group of data bits onto the data bus. The encoder also asserts an inversion signal that is received by the decoder. In response to the assertion of the inversion signal, the decoder inverts the previously inverted next group of data bits to restore the original data.

Title: Erasure information generation in Forward Error Correction decoding
Inventor: VESMA JUSSI
IPC: H03M13/05
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: Multibit datagrams (81, 83, 84...) of application data are arranged into the columns (82, 85, 88...) of a data frame (80) which is subsequently zero padded (99) and further filled with columns of Reed Solomon parity data (95, 96...) at a multiprotocol encapsulator (MPE, 26, fig. 3), from which an erasure information table (98) can be generated upon error checking at a DVB mobile receiver (65, fig. 6), which provides a bit (U or R) identifying a column containing one or more parity errors. In frame 80, the errors in data elements 83, 91 and 92 cause a bit U to be inserted into slots 103 and 104. Since this is generated for a whole column rather than each data element, and zero-pad columns are assumed to be error-free, less erasure information is required. The erasure information can further be stored as a list (111, fig. 10) showing addresses at which the error status changes, perhaps using separate lists for application and parity data.

Title: Trapping ions in an ion trap prior to mass analysis
Inventor: MAKAROV ALEXANDER
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2005-03-29
Abstract: The invention provides a method of trapping ions in a target ion trap of an ion trapping assembly that comprises a series of volumes arranged such that ions can transverse from one volume to the next, the volumes including the target ion trap, whereby ions are allowed to pass repeatedly through the volumes such that they also pass into and out from the target ion trap without being trapped.

Title: Solid-state gyroscopes
Inventor: BRAITHWAITE IAN
IPC: G01C19/56
Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: A solid-state gyroscope has a piezo-electric sensing element provided with drive and detecting electrodes. A control system supplies a primary drive signal for a primary electrode, a primary input for a pick-off signal from an electrode on the sensing element, and a phase-lock loop (PLL) maintains a phase relationship between the primary drive signal and the signal at the primary input. The control system further supplies a secondary drive signal for an electrode on the sensing element at a node when resonating and a secondary input for a pick-off signal from an electrode on the sensing element where there is a further defined phase relationship with respect to the secondary drive signal such as a node. The secondary drive and pick-off signals are arranged in a negative feedback loop to suppress unwanted sensing element resonation. A synchronous detector acts on the primary and secondary drive signals to produce a rate signal indicative of rotation of the sensing element.

Title: Electromagnetic borehole telemetry system
Inventor: WISLER MACMILLAN MORGAN
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2004-08-06
Abstract: An electromagnetic (EM) borehole telemetry system 10 for transmitting information between a borehole transceiver 22 and a surface transceiver 26. Tubulars 18 are set within the well borehole 19 to stabilize the wall of the borehole and to assist in hydraulically isolating formations. The invention utilizes these tubulars 18 cooperating with one or more signal wires 28 to reduce attenuation and noise in signals transmitted between the borehole and surface transceivers. The one or more signal wires 28 are typically disposed within an annulus formed by the borehole wall and the outside surface of the casing. These wires 28 are connected at one end to connection terminals positioned near the bottom tubular string, or to an active field measuring device 50 disposed in an annulus. Opposing ends of the wires are connected to the surface transceiver 26. By minimizing signal attenuation and noise, the telemetry system can be effectively used at greater depths in the borehole. The telemetry system can be embodied in a measurement- while-drilling system, a formation testing system, a production monitoring system and other systems requiring communication between a downhole assembly and the surface of the earth.
