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 receivers in the above system.

Title: Device for simultaneously displaying and monitoring hemodynamic parameters and level of consciousness
Inventor: O'BRIEN TERENCE KEVIN
IPC: A61B5/0205
Filed: 2010-04-30
Abstract: A monitoring device is arranged to acquire signals indicating a level of consciousness and an arterial blood pressure value, and to display images showing the level of consciousness over time and the hemodynamic parameters of a patient for simultaneous viewing. The consciousness signal may be a biopotential signal, such as EEG. A dependence of changes in the hemodynamic parameters of the patient on the level of consciousness of the patient may be more easily observed using the monitoring device. Correlations between the patient's level of consciousness and the patient's hemodynamic parameters may further be determined and displayed to aid clinicians in estimating any improvement in hemodynamic parameters that may be achieved through manipulation of the patient's level of consciousness, fluid status and drugs. One alternative embodiment displays values of the level of consciousness superimposed over hemodynamic parameter images, whilst another records the values as a series of data sets.

Title: Toy projectile launcher apparatus
Inventor: Victor Robert James
IPC: F41A19/00
Filed: 2011-09-27
Abstract: Several variations of a toy projectile launcher apparatus for discharging EVA balls. The apparatus includes a housing, a ram movable in the housing, a carriage also movable in the housing, a negator spring, a handle for cocking the apparatus, and a lever pivotally mounted in the housing just behind a ball to be discharged. In operation, a user pulls the handle rearward and a connector engages the ram to pull the ram rearward. The ram abuts the carriage and when the ram moves rearward the carriage also moves rearward. The carriage is attached to the spring and extends the spring when the carriage moves rearward. At a predetermined location the connector disengages the ram, which is pushed forward by the carriage, which in turn is driven by the biasing force of the spring. Before striking the lever, the carriage is stopped and the ram, being mounted to the carriage to allow relative sliding forward movement, impacts the lever causing the lever to slap the ball to cause discharge. A variation uses a latch mechanism and trigger.
