Patent GB-201120505-D0 (GB)
Title: Power efficient high swing long reach transmitter architecture
Filed: 2011-11-29
Abstract: A power efficient transmitter with a high voltage swing capability for sending data along long backplanes is disclosed. The transmitter circuit includes i) a current switching, current mode logic (CML) type driver (transitors M5-M8) connected to the transmitter output terminals TXP & TXN, and ii) a low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) type driver (transistors M1-M4) having an output node connected to the transmitter output TXP & TXN via a terminating load (resistors Rt). In a standard configuration, the LVDS output node would determine the common mode or receiver bias voltage. In the present invention, the LVDS type stage is switched by the driver input signal (INP, INN) in synchronism with the CML type stage to establish at the LVDS output node a voltage that is substantially the same as that which the ac driven leg of a CML type driver would take up, thereby reducing current through, and power loss in, the terminating resistors Rt.

Title: Device and method for checking an aircraft landing gear shock absorber
Filed: 2012-05-29
Abstract: An electronic device checks the pressure of an aircraft landing gear oleo by means of a camera capturing and processing an image of the oleo. An image recognition module processes the oleo image to extract a measure of the amount of extension of the oleo. This measure is then processed together with a measure of oleo temperature to calculate a pressure value representative of the expected pressure of the gas within the oleo, which can then be compared with another measurement of oleo pressure to determine whether the two are consistent or whether the oleo might be under- or over-filled with gas. The electronic device may be in the form of a hand-held smart phone or tablet device appropriately programmed with software.
Patent GB-201209703-D0 (GB)
Title: Method, apparatus and computer program for communicating
Filed: 2012-05-31
Abstract: At a radio link control (RLC) layer (520) only device discovery information (522) is compiled into a first protocol data unit PDU (532) associated with a first radio bearer that is established for device discovery, and service discovery information (526) is compiled into at least a second PDU (536) associated with a second radio bearer. At a medium access control MAC layer (530) the first PDU (532) is prioritised over the second PDU (536). In one embodiment the MAC layer (530) sets priority of the first bearer to infinity before giving the available resources to the RLC layer (520) to ensure that the device discovery gets resources allocated in the RLC layer (520). Prioritising device discovery information in the RLC layer reduces signal processing effort required and so preserves device battery power. The invention has particular benefit in ad-hoc device-to-device (D2D) communications networks (such as machine-to-machine (M2M)).
Patent GB-201209910-D0 (GB)
Title: Fuel dispencer
Filed: 2012-06-06
Abstract: A fuel dispenser includes first and second cylinders adapted to contain respective first and second fluids, one being fuel and the other being a fuel additive such as a lubricant. First and second pistons in the cylinders displace the fluids through outlets and into a mixing line. The dispenser typically allows the volume of fluids displaced from each cylinder to be accurately controlled and adjusted in order to change the ratios. This is achieved by an adjustable aperture adapted to be opened and closed and optionally varied in degree of opening, typically by rotation of at least one of the components, to release fluid contained in the cylinder in front of the piston without passing the fluid into a mixing line. The adjustable aperture includes an aperture in a piston head, allowing the fluid in front of the piston to pass into or through the piston.

The heating elements may be lamps and be mounted for movement with the heat shield. Reflective surfaces 27, 28, 29 direct radiation into the region of the cable. Control element are mounted to wall 6 of the casing and a foot control 42 operates the arrangement.

Title: Suitcase scale
Filed: 2012-10-23
Abstract: A suitcase scale comprises a housing 10, containing a processing unit, a weight sensor and a combination lock. A buckle 51 is detachably engaged to the housing and a strap 60 has two opposite ends respectively connected to the buckle and the housing. Consequently, the strap, the buckle and the housing form an endless ring for bundling a suitcase A when the combination lock is in a locked condition. A tab or handle 32 is connected through the housing to the weight sensor and allows the suitcase to be lifted to determine its weight. The suitcase scale shows the total weight value of the suitcase via a display (221, Fig 5) and when not in use the tab naturally lowers to cover and protect the display. The device is intended to help prevent the user from paying an excessive baggage charge and the lock also provides an anti-theft function.
Patent GB-201313613-D0 (GB)
Title: Methods and apparatus for ingress mitigation in cable communication systems and cable communication systems and methods having increased upstream capacity
Filed: 2012-07-02
Abstract: A mobile transmitter traverses a drive path in a neighborhood node of a cable communication system and broadcasts a test signal at frequencies falling within an upstream path bandwidth. A navigational device generates a first record of positions of the transmitter along the drive path, and an analyzer monitors the upstream path bandwidth and generates a second record of received signal amplitudes of the transmitted test signal as a function of time. An ingress map is generated showing the drive path and potential points of ingress in the node, and employed to remediate faults particularly in the hardline coaxial cable plant. Iterative generation of maps and corresponding remediation in the node enable improved cable communication systems with reduced noise profiles between 5 MHz and 20 MHz and employing higher modulation order QAM communication channels (e.g., 256-QAM and higher) throughout the upstream path bandwidth to increase upstream capacity.

Title: Working depth control system for a vehicle with a ground working implement
Inventor: WIEGARDT GORDON K
IPC: A01B67/00
Filed: 1983-03-21
Granted: 1989-06-29
Abstract: A tractor (10) includes a hitch (26) for pulling a ground-working implement. A hydraulic cylinder (34) is extensible and retractable to lower and raise the implement. A control system (50) senses operating parameters, including wheel slip, engine speed, draft force and implement or rockshaft position. Error signals are derived from the sensed wheel slip, engine speed and draft force and correspond set point signals. The error signals are combined into a composite or combined error signal. The larger of (a) the combined error signal and (b) a separately determined position error signal, is selected and converted to a pulsewidth modulated valve control signal which is applied to a control valve (42) which then actuates the cylinder to move the implement to reduce the magnitude of the selected error signal. Certain set point signals are derived from the corresponding parameter signals themselves.
