Title: Novel process
Inventor: DAVEY PAUL NICOLAS
IPC: A61K8/35
Filed: 2013-04-08
Abstract: Cyclohexanone is converted to its triperoxide in a flow reactor, wherein a first feed stream comprising formic acid, a second stream comprising hydrogen peroxide and a Bronsted acid and a third stream comprising cyclohexanone are mixed together. Alternatively, cyclohexanone triperoxide (TPO) is subjected to pyrolysis to form hexadecanolide and cyclopentadecane. Alternatively, cyclopentadecane is sequentially oxidised to give cyclopentadecanol and dehydrogenated to give cyclopentadecanone. Alternatively, a musk mixture is formed by mixing hexadecanolide and cyclopentadecanone. In a flow reactor, cyclohexanone in a synthetic isoparaffin solvent with dodecane (feed 1) was treated with formic acid (feed 2) and hydrogen peroxide / nitric acid (feed 3) to give cyclohexanone triperoxide. The flow reactor may provide reduced levels of the Baeyer-Villiger derived side products (e.g. É›-caprolactone and É›-formyloxycaproic acid).

Patent GB-2525947-A (GB)
Title: Automatic tuning of a gain controller
Inventor: MANI SENTHIL KUMAR
IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 2014-10-31
Abstract: The present invention aims to suppress an echo which occurs in a telephone system when a signal originating at a far-end, and output at a near-end loudspeaker, is picked up by a near-end microphone and transmitted back to the far end (see Fig. 1). A signal identifier 201 detects an echo of the far-end signal in a near-end microphone signal. The echo from the near-end microphone signal is preferably used in the estimation 202 of a characteristic of the echo path. For example, the microphone signal can be correlated with the received far-end signal to determine a measure of similarity between the signals, from which the degree of non-linearity of the echo path may be inferred (see table 1). In response to the signal identifier detecting a near-end talk signal in the near-end microphone signal, the gain of a far-end signal to be output at a near-end loudspeaker is adjusted. The gain is adjusted based on the estimated characteristic of the echo path (see table 2).

Title: Setting ion detector gain using ion area
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN RAYMOND
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2015-01-29
Abstract: A signal to noise ratio (SNR) of an ion detector, electron multiplier or photomultiplier, is calculated using the area of a noise peak and the area of an ion signal peak. The SNR may be used to optimise the gain of the detector. An average ion area may be calculated at optimal gain, and this may be used to check gain optimisation in future checks, by comparing a new average ion area to the first average ion area. This avoids the need to repeatedly perform time consuming gain optimization calculations. The ion signals may be filtered using an analogue to digital converter (ADC), in a first phase by filtering or attenuating signals according to amplitude, and in a second phase by filtering or attenuating signals according to area under the curve.
