IPC: H04B10/296
Filed: 2001-08-16
Abstract: Data transmitted on optical fibre over long distances is subject to the introduction of errors at the receiving end, caused by distortions and alterations of the original data. Raising the transmission power to increase the level of signals at the receiving end also increases errors due to non-linear characteristics of the fibre. The invention optimises launch power by assessing error rates due to amplified spontaneous emissions and due to four wave mixing, so that signal to noise ratios due to these causes exceed threshold levels whilst enabling launch power to be maximised. <IMAGE>

Title: Sectional barge connector
Filed: 2011-05-04
Abstract: A connection arrangement for improving the connection of one or more individual barges 1, sometimes referred to as pontoons, together to create a larger sectional barge.

Title: Proteus fast shut down
Filed: 2011-12-19
Abstract: A mixture of molten lead glass and boric acid (H3BO3) is introduced to a nuclear fission environment to precipitate the eventual full shut down of an active nuclear fission reaction within a nuclear reactor pressure vessel, pressure chamber, or equivalent construction that may be subject to fission reaction events, such as a spent fuel pond or reprocessing facility. The molten lead glass mixture provides a vitrification environment as it cools, and should be injected into the nuclear fission environment so as to completely fill the reaction vessel or chamber, thereby isolating and enclosing any exposed or broken off fuel components, suppressing alpha and gamma ray emissions, sealing any breach in the vessel or chamber, and negating the possibility of any combustible gas ignition. Convection currents within the molten glass mixture lead to an even dispersion of radiological contaminants.

Title: Method and device for encoding and decoding data in a video encoder and a video decoder
Filed: 2012-06-29
Abstract: A method for improving the coding efficiency and reducing the complexity of a video encoder and a video decoder, by the harmonization of two coding modes (such as the Intra Pulse Code Modulation/IPCM mode and the Transquant/Lossless mode) of coding units resulting from the partitioning of an areas of pixels. The coding mode is selected as one of at least two modes that do not use quantisation and transform coding, with one of the modes (such the transquant/lossless mode) allowing pixel prediction. An associated syntax element (such as a flag) is encoded in the video bit stream which represents coding unit (CU) sizes for which the two modes are selectable. Alternative methods are also disclosed in which a syntax element indicates whether loop filtering is enabled or whether an area of pixels is encoded according to one of the coding modes.

Title: Adjustable attenuator for a digital telecommunication exchange, especially a telephone exchange
Inventor: SOUTHARD GARY
IPC: H04B1/64
Filed: 1980-05-12
Granted: 1983-07-07
Abstract: A digital telecommunications system having an adjustable attenuation member incorporates first and second memories for altering the values of different pulse code modulated words, representing different amplitude values of transmitted waves, such as tone frequencies. One of the memories alters the first three amplitude bit values of a special pulse code modulated word to alter the values for example in six-dB steps. The other memory defines the values of smaller steps. The change of the output code from the first memory and the determination of the characteristic to be output by the second memory is dependent upon control signals from a control unit.

Title: Shoe sole construction
Inventor: PETERSON LARS GUSTAF BIRGER
IPC: A43B13/20
Filed: 1982-03-24
Granted: 1988-01-28
Abstract: A shoe sole construction designed so as to be biodynamically shock-absorbing.In the sole (2) are provided two cushions (8, 9) which are filled with a fluid (10) and interconnected by means of a number of channels (11). One cushion (8) is positioned underneath the heel (6) of the foot and the other cushion (9) is positioned underneath the transverse forward arch (7) of the foot.When the wearer of the shoe sets down his foot into contact with the ground, the heel strikes the ground first and a shock-absorbing effect is then obtained as the rear cushion is compressed. Upon this compression, fluid flows from the rear cushion (8) to the front cushion (9), which expands and lifts the front arch of the foot, releaving the weight thereon and supporting the front arch when the forefoot is set down on the ground. When the wearer continues the walking cycle, the forward cushion (9) is compressed, causing the rear cushion (8) to expand and the latter is again ready to provide a shock-absorbing effect upon the next step and heel strike.
