Title: Incremental implementation of undo/redo support in legacy applications
Inventor: VIK TORBJORN
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2010-11-03
Abstract: A system enables a per-object undo/redo process to be realized in pre-existing computer programs that have limited or no undo/redo functionality, while minimizing changes to such pre-existing computer programs. The system stores an undo/redo instruction for each user-initiated operation in a data structure, associates each instruction with one or more objects affected by the operation, and verifies the validity of each instruction before either storing the instruction, or performing the associated function. The system may reject or discard those instructions which fail a validation step. The data structure of the process may be arranged to increase performance while implementing the undo-redo support for a given legacy software, with storage arrangements dependent on the difference in the data size of the object before and after the operation. The ability to validate before performing the function allows the system to be used with many different legacy applications, with minimal custom programming required for interface.

Title: Calibration function for time of flight mass spectrometers with extreme mass accuracy
Inventor: RATHER OLIVER
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2011-09-08
Abstract: The invention relates to methods for converting time-of-flight values of ion signals into mass values in time-of-flight mass spectrometers capable of extreme mass accuracy. The invention provides a calibration function for time--of-flight mass spectrometers where not only the time of flight of a specific ionic species is used in the conversion into masses, but also the number of ions which fly together through the mass spectrometer in each case. In time-of-flight mass spectrometers designed to measure the masses of the ions with an extreme mass accuracy far better than one part per million, unexpected effects occur which resemble a delaying "traffic jam" of the ions (or the electrons in the multiplier) that is dependent on the number of ions of one species on their flight through the mass spectrometer.

Title: Switching to alternative communication channels to enhance reliability in shared bands
Inventor: KOSKELA TIMO
IPC: H04W16/14
Filed: 2011-04-14
Abstract: Channel reliability for mobile communications deployed on shared bands (e.g. TV white space) is enhanced by switching to alternative channels in the event that a current channel becomes unusable. A list of channels useable for communication is maintained and if a currently used channel becomes unusable, for example due to interference, a switch to one of the channels in the list is prompted. The list is constructed at a network node S10 and includes channel bandwidths and centre frequencies (fig. 3), wherein at least one of the bandwidth and centre frequency are configured by the node. At least one entry on the list comprises a code indicative of a relationship between a centre frequency of a channel on the list and a centre frequency of another channel (e.g. TV channel). The channel list may be updated and distributed to communication terminals.

Title: Reconfigurable Radio Frequency (RF) Circuit and method of receiving RF signals using a controllable divider
Inventor: ROUSU SEPPO
IPC: H04B1/00
Filed: 2012-03-16
Abstract: A reconfigurable radio frequency circuit for use in a wireless communications terminal is configurable to a first mode for receiving a first and second radio frequency signal within a first frequency band, and to a second mode for use when the first but not the second signal is in the first band. A first signal divider 32 operating in the first band provides a first signal division ratio in the first mode and a second ratio in the second mode. In the first mode, a first output of the signal divider is connected by a first switch 14 to a first receiver (56) and the second output is connected by a second switch 16 to a second receiver (58). In the second mode, the first output is connected by the First switch 14 to the first receiver and a second divider 34 operating in a second band is connected by the second switch 16 to the second receiver (58). The combination of the first and second RF signals may be used for radio communication using carrier aggregation. Providing a first signal divider which is controllable improves sensitivity in the signal paths to be used in the respective mode. Thus, RF performance in terms of signal to noise figure and sensitivity may be optimised.
