Title: Analysing electrograms
Inventor: SAUMAREZ RICHARD
IPC: A61B5/361
Filed: 2006-06-29
Abstract: Electrograms are analysed to determine a patient's risk of developing a cardiac condition such as ventricular fibrillation (VF). A system having signal generating means 302 is used to generate a paced input signal to apply to a driving region of a heart 316 (e.g. a localised position of myocardial disarray). The input signal comprises a set of a plurality of pulses spaced by a pacing interval. An output signal from the driving region of the heart is received by the system and then analysed using a processing system 300. The analysis identifies the signal delay between the input signal and the output signal, and this is used to determine predisposition to a cardiac condition. The analysis may determine a rate of variation in signal delay over a range of values of pacing interval. The analysis may correlate the output signal with two templates and compare the results of the correlations to reduce noise in the electrogram. The pulse interval may be increased from a first value to a second value. The input signal may comprise a second and thirds set of pulses separated from each other by second and third pacing intervals. The analysis may identify variation in signal delay over a range of values of pacing interval to derive first and second delay characteristics and thus generate a parameter indicative of the variation in signal delay. A graphical representation may be generated from the values of delay in pulsed signals, and data indicative of a physiologically significant feature is output from a set of at least two cardiac conditions.

Title: A Method and Apparatus for Determining the Engagement State of a Clutch
Inventor: HALLERON IAN
IPC: F15B15/28
Filed: 2008-03-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the engagement state of a clutch 2 is disclosed in which the position of a slave cylinder piston 62 is measured by a sensor 63 and compared with a calculated displacement threshold value XTHRES. If the measured displacement of the slave cylinder piston 62 is less than the displacement threshold value then this is used as an indication that the clutch 2 is engaged and if the measured displacement of the slave cylinder piston 62 is greater than the displacement threshold value XTHRES then this is used as an indication that the clutch 2 is disengaged. This determination of clutch engagement state can be advantageously used in a stop-start system to permit the engine 10 to be started while a transmission 11 is in gear and it can also be used to prevent engine shutdown if the clutch 2 is not fully disengaged.

Title: Producing an article containing a protective member by moulding
Inventor: NORTHFIELD QUINTEN JOHN
IPC: B29C45/00
Filed: 2008-04-21
Abstract: There is disclosed a resin transfer moulding process for an article incorporating a protective insert 4 of polymer material bonded to or embedded in a surface of the article. A piece 4 of the polymer material is formed into a required shape of a region to be protected and then placed in position in a mould (figure 2). A bead 10 of elastomer material is formed around the edge of the insert 4 to seal it against an internal wall of the mould in order to prevent resin tracking between the mould and insert faces during subsequent injection into the mould.The insert 4 may be cut and compression moulded or thermoformed before being placed into the mould and may be a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or a fabric backed polymer layer.The article may be an airfoil member and may comprise a composite material in the form of multiple layers of carbon fibre fabric. The layers are placed inside a mould and impregnated with resin, which is then cured to form a green component. The component and the insert are then placed in a mould. Impregnation and curing steps are carried out and the green component and the insert 4 are co-cured.

Title: Delta sigma modulators with comparator offset noise conversion
Inventor: MELANSON JOHN L
IPC: H03M1/06
Filed: 2007-03-09
Abstract: Quantizers of delta sigma modulators include comparators to quantize a quantizer input signal. Each comparator compares a respective reference signal to the quantizer input signal. A logic processing module determines a quantizer output signal based upon the comparison. During subsequent periods of time, a comparator offset converter alters "reference signal-to-comparator input terminal" associations to reroute respective reference signals from one arrangement of comparator input terminals of at least two (2) of the comparators to a different arrangement of comparator input terminals. The comparator offset converter can randomly alter the reference signal-to-comparator input terminal associations. The comparator offset converter can maintain a 1 : 1 reference signal-to-comparator input terminal relationship. By maintaining the 1 : 1 ratio of reference signal-to-comparator input terminal and randomizing the reference signal-to-comparator input terminal associations, the comparator offset converter effectively converts the comparator offset voltage nonlinearities into energies and frequencies that can be constructively processed and improve signal-to-noise ratios.

Title: Controlling Delivery of Multimedia Messages by selecting further recipients of MMS messages depending on delivery status of original messages.
Inventor: AALTONON JANNE
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2008-12-01
Abstract: A method of controlling delivery of a plurality of Multimedia (MMS) messages having certain content, comprising monitoring delivery status information associated with the messages to identify messages having a delivery status of a first type and responsive to a predetermined number of the messages identified to have the delivery status of the first type, selecting further recipients for messages comprising the content. Aspects of the invention include the state indicating one of an invalid recipient address, incomplete transmission, content not accepted, recipient terminal not available. In at least one arrangement the delivery status of already transmitted MMS messages is monitored; for those messages having a delivery status indicating that the message is undeliverable to the intended recipient, a new set of recipients is selected and MMS messages transmitted to the new set of recipients. In this way delivery of a desired quota of deliverable MMS messages is effected with greater efficiency than is possible with conventional methods. It provides efficient delivery of MMS messages to a plurality of recipients. The messages may contain information content such as news, weather, entertainment or promotional data, and the network may be configured such that user terminals are required to receive a certain number of such messages in return for subsidized access to network services.
