Patent GB-2383327-A (GB)
Title: Improved citral derivatives
Inventor: TURIN LUCA
IPC: A23L27/00
Filed: 2002-08-20
Abstract: Improved citral derivatives, that have a longer useful shelf life than citral fragrances and flavorings, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the derivatives are prepared by replacing one or more double bonds in citral with a cyclopropyl group, which can be unsubstituted, or substituted with one or two lower alkyl, preferably methyl groups. The alkyl groups can optionally be substituted, for example, with electron donating groups, electron with drawing groups, groups which increase the hydrophilicity or hydrophobocity, and the like. In the derivatives the aldehyde group may be replaced with a nitrile, methyl ether or acetal group. The acetal groups can provide the compounds with a long lasting flavor or fragrance, where the acetals slowly hydrolyze to provide the aldehyde group in citral. Examples of suitable articles of manufacture include candles, air fresheners, perfumes, disinfectant compositions, hypochlorite (bleach) compositions, beverages such as beer and soda, denture cleanser tablets and flavored orally-delivered products such as lozenges, candies, and the like. The derivatives preferably have the structure: <EMI ID=1.1 HE=22 WI=61 LX=576 LY=1907 TI=CF> <PC>wherein Z is O, S, CR 2  or a double or a single bond provided at least one Z is O, S or CR 2 ; and X is a nitrile, methyl ether, or acetal group.

Title: Integrated circuit for code acquisition
Inventor: MATTOS PHILIP
IPC: G01S19/30
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: A method and integrated circuit for GPS code acquisition produces correlations at two time periods separated from one another. By determining the position of the peaks from correlations as a result of the integrations at two time periods, correlations not having peaks at the same position can be discounted (or rejected). This allows correct codes to be acquired rather than cross correlations from codes shifted in frequency by Doppler shift.

Title: Identification of ferrous changes in piping deployed in a wellbore
Inventor: RELTON MAHENDRAN S
IPC: E21B47/09
Filed: 2003-04-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting ferrous changes (90, 95) passing axially through a cylindrical space comprises surrounding the space with a non-magnetic cylinder (110) and creating an alternating magnetic field in the cylindrical space by means of a permanent magnet (20) rotatable by a motor (40). Sensors (30) detect magnetic field changes as the ferrous matter passes axially through the cylindrical space. The apparatus may be used for detecting tool joints (90) that connect a tubing string (95) as the tubing string is moved in or out of a wellbore, or the presence or absence of a coiled tubing string in the wellbore. The permanent magnet provides a safe field generating means within a hostile well environment.

Title: Low noise transmitter architecture using foldover selective band filtering and method thereof
Inventor: NOBBE DAN
IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 2002-08-20
Abstract: The present invention describes an apparatus capable of producing a radio frequency (RF) transmit (Tx) signal for a radiotelephone low enough in noise without requiring a post power amplifier (PA) cleanup filter. A Tx signal generated by a modulator (710) is sent through a different filter by a first and second switches (714 and 728) based upon the frequency of the Tx signal, and each of the filters (720 and 724) are designed to reduce the noise floor of a certain predetermined region within a specific TX band. The noise floor of the Tx signal contributes to production of foldover noise due to intermodulation phenomenon caused by nonlinearity of the PA (732). However, because the portion of the noise floor within the Tx band is reduced by going through the appropriate bandpass filter for the Tx signal and because the foldover noise production is a nonlinear phenomenon, the resulting reduced noise floor contributes significantly less to the foldover noise generated by the PA (732).

Title: Handle mounted release mechanism
Inventor: WANG JUI-LU
IPC: B62B7/06
Filed: 2003-06-09
Abstract: A handle mounted release mechanism for a foldable stroller comprises a two part housing 411,412 which defines two internal oppositely facing cam paths 431,433, a pair of corresponding oppositely facing cam followers 45, having cam surfaces 451, cables 473, locking members (not shown) and a spring biased safety mechanism 42. To release the locking members button 424 is pressed and the housing is manually rotated about the handle. When rotated the cam surfaces 431,433 push the cam followers outwardly and a tensile force is transferred by the cables 473 to the locking members (not shown) which are consequently released. The mechanism enables easier folding of the stroller since the release of the locking mechanisms may be effected using one hand only.

Title: A black and white color cholesteric liquid crystal display
Inventor: LENEHAN DANIEL
IPC: G02F1/1343
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: A cholesteric display (10) may be formed, in some embodiments, using a single display element to produce multi-colors for display. A cholesteric material (16) may be sandwiched between a pair of substrates (12, 14), each associated with pairs of opposed electrodes (14, 22, 26) that are arranged in general transversely to the optical axis (O) of incident light. The first pair of electrodes (14, 22) produce one of two liquid crystal states and result in the reflection of light of a particular wavelength. Light of other wavelengths may be reflected when a second pair (or set) of opposed electrodes (26b, 26c), arranged in general transversely, also to the optical axis of incident light, are biased appropriately. So does a third pair (or set) of electrodes (26c, 26d). A black and white color display may be generated from a single display element by modulating the pitch length of the cholesteric material (16) within each pairs (or sets (14, 22, 26)).

Filed: 2005-03-31
Abstract: A system for detecting sensor malfunction of a gas-turbine engine comprises a sensor (62, 64) installed at the engine and outputting a value indicative of operating condition of the engine. A determiner (300a) inputs the value outputted from the sensor and determines once every first predetermined time period whether the outputted value is outside a permissible range. A discriminator (302h) inputs a result of determination from the determiner (300a) and discriminates that the sensor is faulty, when the result is at least one of the following; the case where the number of times that the outputted value is determined to be outside the permissible range is not smaller than a first predetermined value and the case where the number of times the outputted value is consecutively determined to be outside the permissible range is not smaller than a second predetermined value.
