Title: Transmission of a signal over a plurality of frequency bands
Inventor: WOO SEOK MIN
IPC: H04B7/12
Filed: 2012-08-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless communication system including a first terminal 100 for modulating a target signal into a plurality of frequency signals of different bands to transmit the modulated signals as radio frequency (RF) signals and a second terminal 200 for detecting the target signals included in the plurality of frequency signals of different bands. The RF signals received from the first terminal are processed only when at least two of the detected target signals correspond to each other. The target signal may be a wake up command for a mobile device. By only acting on a signal when at least two signals correspond to each other reduces the likelihood of a mobile device powering on when interference is interpreted as a wake signal.

Title: Blast-resistant vehicle hull
Inventor: HENKER LYNDON SCOTT
IPC: F41H7/04
Filed: 2013-02-14
Abstract: A vehicle hull has a longitudinal blast mitigation duct formed between left and right hull portions. The duct includes a first section oriented at a first angle to a longitudinal reference line, and a second section adjacent to the first section and oriented at a second angle to the reference line. The second angle is greater than the first angle to form a diverging surface for a shock wave travelling from the first to the second section. The blast mitigation duct further comprises a second, rearward-oriented diverging surface for a shock wave travelling rearward along the hull. A rib projects generally perpendicular from a joint between the first and second sections and is configured to initiate separation of the shock wave from the hull, thereby reducing the amount of energy transferred to the hull.

Title: Time stamp replication within a wireless network
Inventor: KNOWLES IAN
IPC: H04W84/20
Filed: 2014-05-09
Abstract: A wireless station 104 receives an input time stamp and uses this input time stamp to generate an output time stamp. The wireless station transmits the output time stamp to wireless stations 108 in one of a number of groups which make up the wireless network. The output time stamp is generated to compensate for network stack and processing delays between receiving the input time stamp and transmitting the output time stamp such that output time stamp which is transmitted at a time T corresponds to the value that the input time stamp would have had if it had been received at time T (and not at a time earlier than T). This may therefore reduce or eliminate independent time stamp errors and jitter caused by multiple disparate systems and processes. The output timestamp may be calculated by extrapolating from stored data pairs of input timestamp and counter value when the input timestamp is received.

Title: Steam temperature control using model-based temperature balancing
Inventor: BEVERIDGE ROBERT ALLEN
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 2014-10-17
Abstract: The invention 300 consists of methods for controlling the system, a controller system and a steam generating boiler system. These all have multiple flow sections, specifically superheater sections 204, 205, which lead to and output flow, which is another superheater 206. These systems have the features of determining control signals to control the output steam to a turbine. An offset value 250 is determined from a first measurement, first temperature Ta, of a first superheater section and a second measurement, second temperature Tb, of a second super heater section. An output measurement Tf is also generated using the first and second measurements. This output measurement is compared with a setpoint 233 which can be from a dynamic matrix control block. This creates a first Vatemp and second Vb control signal which controls field devices 210, 211 associated with the first and second measurement variables. The first control signal is modified 256 by the offset value previously determined.

Title: Processing a guest event in a hypervisor-controlled system
Inventor: REINHARD BUENDGEN
IPC: G06F21/71
Filed: 2014-11-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of processing guest events in a hypervisor controlled system (10), comprising the steps of triggering a first firmware service on a guest event, it being associated with a guest (20) and with a guest state (52) and a protected guest memory (22) accessible only by the guest (20) and the firmware (70), and a guest key (24). The firmware (70) processes information associated with the guest event, comprising information of the guest state (52) and the protected guest memory (22), and presents only a subset of the information of the guest state (52) and the protected guest memory (22) to a hypervisor (30), wherein the subset of the information is selected to suffice for the hypervisor (30) to process the guest event. Note that the firmware (70) retains part of the information of the guest state (52) and the protected guest memory (22) that is not sent to the hypervisor (30). The hypervisor (30) processes the guest event based on the received subset of the information and sends a process result to the firmware (70) triggering a second firmware service being specific for the guest event. The firmware (70) processes the result together with the part of the information of the guest state (52) and the protected guest memory (22) that was not sent to the hypervisor (30), generating a state and/or memory modification. Then the firmware (70) performs the state and/or memory modification associated with the guest event at the protected guest memory (22).
