Title: Channel encoding and decoding for eight to fourteen modulation using merging bits
Inventor: KO JUNG-WAN
IPC: H03M7/14
Filed: 1996-09-18
Abstract: A channel-encoding method includes the steps of encoding m-bit input word into an (n-d+1)-bit channel code by using a predetermined encoding table, using the (n-d)th bit of a first channel code of the coded consecutive channel codes and the (d+1)th bit of a second channel code as identifying bits, concatenating the two consecutive channel codes by adding a (d-1)-bit merging bit according d and k constraints, converting the merging bit and bits adjacent to the merging bit when the d constraint is violated and converting the identifying bits and the merging bit when the k constraint is violated. A channel decoding method includes determining the states of a (d-1)-bit merging bit added to link two consecutive channel codes received and identifying bits which are the (n-d)th bit of the first channel code of two consecutive channel codes and the (d+1)th bit of the second channel code, converting identifying bits and bits adjacent to the merging bit according to d and k constraints and separating the merging bit and the merging bit-removed channel code into original m-bit data by using a predetermined decoding table. Since the encoding table and the decoding table of a conventional encoder are used, a conventional compact disk player and a conventional decoder can still be used. In addition, encoding and decoding tables requiring many circuits are shared, thereby reducing circuitry and enabling high density recording.

Title: Container with lid having security portion to prevent theft through container apertures.
Inventor: COPE ANDREW CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B65D25/30
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: A container lid 12 has a main portion 12B and a security portion 36 so that as the lid is closed, the security portion can hang down inside the container to obstruct an aperture, in particular a hand hole (26, Fig. 1), in a wall of the container. Theft of small items through the aperture is therefore reduced. The security portion is preferably hingedly attached 38 to the main portion so that the lid can be folded flat when not in use (Fig. 4A). Flanges 44 abut the underside of the lid to prevent the security portion from being pushed away from the apertures. The security portion is preferably formed with a recess 40 so that, when used to cover hand holes, the latter are still functional. In a container having two hand holes the lid may be formed with two main portions (12A, 12B, Fig. 1) hinged together with security portions attached to each main portion. Ideally the container is stackable and nestable with the lid being housed within the nested container.

Patent GB-2314996-A (GB)
Title: Enhanced overflow call processing
Inventor: GOTTLIEB LOUIS G
IPC: H04Q3/66
Filed: 1996-01-11
Abstract: A system and method for Enhanced Overflow Call Processing redirects calls which cannot be completed to alternate terminations. An originating switch (212) queries a network database (208) for an alternate termination for the call each time the originating switch detects that the call cannot be completed to the current termination. The network database determines the alternate termination for each query using a hierarchical set of multi-branch overflow statements, which are configured by the user (212-10). A set of overflow statements is selected by the network database on the original termination of the call. The set of overflow statements is searched hierarchically until an active overflow statement is found. This overflow statement then controls all queries relating to that call. The reason the call was not completed is used to select either an alternate termination to which the call is to be routed or a particular treatment, such as a busy signal or network message, which is to be applied to the call. If an alternate termination is selected the originating switch routes the call to the alternate termination. The process then repeats until either the call is completed, the overflow statement specifies a treatment is applied or a predetermined number of completion attempts to alternate terminations have occurred.

Title: Automated simulation of a physical process
Inventor: RAHON DANIEL
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 1998-02-05
Abstract: A method of simplifying the construction of a mathematical model to simulate a physical process in a material environment, which model consists in solving a system of modelling equations for each cell of a grid subdividing the environment and having a large number n of cells. This modelling can be built done at a relatively low cost and within a reasonable computing time by reducing the size of the problem to be solved. To this end, a Krylov space of a dimension d very much smaller than the number n of grid cells is used, thus reducing the volume of transactions inherent in the solution. Application in particular is to the modelling of fluid flows in an underground reservoir and hydrocarbon in particular.

Title: Rowing technique monitor using force sensors attached to the footrests of a boat or rowing machine
Inventor: MILLER CHRISTOPHER
IPC: A63B69/06
Filed: 1998-05-13
Abstract: This invention provides the means to make an objective assessment of rowing technique whether the rowing is taking place on land or water. Two examples are given of how this invention can be used, in a boat or on an ergometer, (a land based rowing machine) such that it is in a position under the feet to measure key forces during the rowing action, through attachment of the sensor assembly (1-3) a footrest (7) in the boat or apparatus. The cells for both land and water use work off the same principle, though they vary in design. In both cases a member is stressed by the rowing action, this stress can be converted using strain gauges (4, Fig.2) to a digital signal for storage. The cells also consist of structural components to secure the rower to the boat or ergometer. (The arrangement of the stressed or sensing members and structural plates are given for the two situations.)
