Abstract: GERAçãO DE ENERGIA ELéTRICA E PRECIPITAçãO DE CHUVAS. Patente de Modelo de Utilidade para geração de energia elétrica, hidratação e resfriamento da terra e precipitação de chuvas que é compreendido por um reservatório (mar) interligado através de canais a céu aberto e túneis na parte inferior de um vulcão em contato com a lava do mesmo. A água do mar é conduzida por gravidade em desníveis criados ao longo do canal a céu aberto e túneis até entrar em contato com a lava do vulcão. Os desníveis serão criados em locais estratégicos e dimensionados adequadamente para instalação das turbinas/geradores para produção de energia elétrica. O controle da vazão de água que abastecerá as turbinas será feito por comportas instaladas adequadamente ao nível do mar. A água que inicialmente estava armazenada no mar, tendo sido conduzida aos canais e túneis citados, passará à forma de vapor tão logo entre em contato com a lava do vulcão e posteriormente precipitará em forma de chuva, completando o ciclo da água.

Title: Selective local data insertion using hierarchical modulation symbols on OFDM sub-carriers in DVB-NGH system
Inventor: ATUNGSIRI SAMUEL ASANBENG
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2010-02-25
Abstract: DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) networks, for example NGH (Next Generation for Handheld), using OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) can be deployed as single frequency networks. The invention allows common data (eg networked programs) sent to all/multiple base stations y0-3to be combined with local data h0-1(eg local news) sent to one or a small group of base stations. When only common data is transmitted OFDM sub-carriers use a first modulation94(eg 16QAM). When both common and local data is transmitted sub-carriers are hierarchically modulated into a larger constellation96(eg 64QAM). The QAM constellations may be rotated (Figs. 8-11). Clusters of proximate/adjacent base stations may be arranged to transmit on a TDM (time division multiplexed) basis (Fig. 12). At the receiver (Fig. 21) data streams are separated. The claims relate to transmitters in the above system.

IPC: B63B21/26
Filed: 2011-05-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a flowing-water driveable turbine assembly 4 for location in river or sea areas with unidirectional and bidirectional, water flows. The turbine assembly 4 is modular and comprises a turbine support 6 with positive buoyancy in water. The turbine support 6 is arranged to be anchored by an anchoring system 8 to a water bed. The turbine assembly comprises turbine modules 10 each with positive buoyancy in water. The turbine modules are detachably docked with the turbine support. The combined positive buoyancy of the turbine support and the turbine modules in water has an upward force to constrain the turbine support and the turbine modules to a position of floating equilibrium against a downward force of an anchoring system. Each turbine module has a duct (26 figure 4) and a flowing-water driveable turbine (28 figure 4) mounted in the duct. The duct is for directing water through the turbine to generate power from water flow. Later embodiments relate to a turbine support assembly, a turbine module, an anchoring system, method of assembling the modular turbine assembly and a method of repair or maintenance to the modular turbine assembly.

Title: Control of transmission of data based on assessed/predicted radio conditions
Inventor: FOX DAVID ANDREW
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2011-07-04
Abstract: A mobile telecommunications network includes a plurality of terminals 1200, a core 1218 and a radio access network 1214 having radio means for providing wireless communication resources to the terminals. The radio access network includes control means 700 operable to control the allocation of network resources to said mobile terminals, and wherein the control means is operable to gauge the radio conditions available to said mobile terminals and to control the transmission of data between the radio access network and the mobile terminals in dependence thereon. The control means may build and maintain a record of radio quality across a coverage area of the network (a cell in an embodiment), and may use this record to predict the radio conditions available to the mobile terminals within that coverage area. The control means may calculate the location and/or velocity of the mobile terminal and may control the transmission of data in dependence thereon. In the embodiment the control means uses the record of radio quality across the coverage area and the calculated location and velocity of one of the mobile terminals to estimate the radio conditions available to that mobile terminal at a future location and to thereby control the transmission of data between the radio access network and that mobile terminal. The assessment/prediction of radio conditions may be based on quality, capacity, load etc. In one embodiment available backhaul resources/capacity are taken into account in the assessment. In a further embodiment the control means is operable to trigger initialisation, suspension or termination of applications based on the predicted/measured radio conditions or backhaul capacity. A further embodiment involves optimising the distribution of data, such as video, such that a larger amount of data is transmitted which conditions are detected as good and a minimal amount of data (to maintain a minimum buffer occupancy at the mobile terminal) is transmitted when conditions are detected as poor.

Title: LED boost converter driver circuit for Time Of Flight light sources
Inventor: GROOTJANS RIEMER
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2011-07-14
Abstract: The invention relates to an energy efficient electronic driver circuit for LEDâ  s or Laser Diodes for use in a Time of Flight (TOF) light source. In particular the invention relates to a boost converter circuit for use with a DC power supply for conversion of DC power to a pulsed current wave for driving a load such as LEDâ  s or Laser diodes. The boost converter comprises a DC terminal 101 for connection to a DC power source, a first inductance L1, a charge storage device such as a capacitor C2, in which the first switching means M1 and a second switching means (for example diode D1) is adapted to charge the storage device from the inductance at a first frequency. The boost converter also comprises a DC voltage to AC current converter circuit 107 comprising a second inductance L2 coupled to the charge storage device C2 and third switching means M2 for driving the inductance as a pulsed wave current source for the load at a second frequency, which is higher than the first frequency, preferably corresponding to the time of flight frequency. A fourth switch means M3 is incorporated for interrupting or disabling the current in the load. The boost converter operates by sensing the current in the load and employs a feedback loop to regulate and control the converter by PWM operation. The boost converter may be used in a range finding device adapted to determine the distance of an object by measuring light emitted by one or more of the LED or Laser diode light sources and measuring the reflected light source. The boost converter is adapted to update the PWM control before a measurement cycle. At the start of a new measurement cycle, the PWM signal for driving the DC-DC conversion is updated in response to currents observed during previous illumination periods.
