Title: Inductive power transfer system
Inventor: CHAPPELL MARK
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2012-12-14
Abstract: An inductive power transfer system comprises a primary side unit 1 having a power supply 2, a transmission coil 4 and a controller 12; and a secondary side unit having a receiver coil 7, a controller 8 and a load 9. The secondary side controller 8 is detects the voltage in the receiver coil 7 and transmits a control signal to the primary side controller 12 requesting an increase or decrease in the power transmitted from the primary side, possibly by changing the frequency, according to whether the voltage in coil 7 is above or below a predetermined value. The power to plural loads can be controlled by pulse width modulation, using signals transmitted from the primary side. The non-contact power transfer system may be used to power LED lighting on a boat whose non-conductive hull separates the primary and secondary coils, with power to plural LEDS being selectively controlled to provide a continuously varying colour output. Primary and secondary side units can be mounted so that one side can be rotated relative to the other.

Title: Apparatus for locating a remote point of interest
Inventor: PALMER STUART DAVID
IPC: G01C3/02
Filed: 2013-02-28
Abstract: An apparatus for locating a remote point of interest, such as a military target, comprises a baseline providing means for providing a reference baseline formed between the position occupied by the apparatus itself and a remote, visible, mensurated reference position. The positions maybe determined and updated using a wireless Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) real-time kinematic means and the reference postion may be associated with a moving person or object. Delta angles to the remote point of interest relative to the reference baseline are generated through slewing between the reference baseline and the point of interest. The angle measuring means is a multi-axis Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) angle measuring means and may comprise multiple sensors the output of which may be blended together in use. A laser range finder may be used to locate reference points and points of interest.

Title: Method, apparatus and computer program for controlling a user equipment
Inventor: HUOTARI ARTO
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2013-05-17
Abstract: The invention is claimed as applying to any message with one masked and one unmasked part, however the example embodiment relates to the high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) found in 3GPP standards relating to WCDMA and HSPA. The HS-SCCH message comprises two data parts and a CRC derived from both parts together. A mask derived from the UE-ID of the intended recipient is applied to the first data part. In the known art (Fig. 1) the receiver reverses the encoder steps, ending with a CRC check for errors and whether the UE is the intended recipient. The invention proposes modifying this process order. The second message part and CRC are received 201B and channel decoded 204B and used to generate a candidate 209 for the first data part. This is then channel encoded 210 and XORed 211 with the received first message part 201A to recover the mask. Finally this is channel decoded and compared with the UE-ID.

Title: Regulating mains water supply
Inventor: BURROWS ANDREW ROLAND
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 2009-12-29
Abstract: A method of controlling the output pressure of a mains water pumping station 6 which pumps water to a main supply conduit 12 is claimed, wherein the main supply conduit feeds a plurality of district metering areas (DMAs) 14, 16, 18.
