Title: Phase locked loops
Inventor: JOHN PAUL LESSO
IPC: H03L7/085
Filed: 2016-01-29
Abstract: In the disclosed digital PLL, a phase/frequency detector 101 receives a reference signal CKref and a feedback signal SFB, and produces adjustment signals U and D respectively indicating a requirement to increase or decrease the frequency of numerically-controlled oscillator 204. The U and D signals are pulse signals modulated between two levels. First and second time-to-digital converters 201-1 and 201-2 respectively receive the U and D pulses and produce respective digital output signals indicative of the duration of the pulses. Each time-to-digital converter comprises a controlled oscillator (fig.4:401) and a counter (fig.4:403). Each controlled oscillator (fig.4:401) operates at a either a first frequency or a second frequency, in accordance with the level of its adjustment signal. Each counter (fig.4:403) produces a count value of the number oscillations of the controlled oscillator in each of a succession of count periods defined by a count clock signal. The TDC digital output signals are based on the count values. Subtractor 202 forms a difference of the TDC output signals. The difference signal is filtered by digital loop filter 203 before driving NCO 204 to produce the loop output signal. The arrangement avoids quantisation problems and the need for fast clocks.

Title: Dryer and combuster for toilet and operation thereof
Inventor: Bhavin Engineer
IPC: A47K11/02
Filed: 2017-10-19
Abstract: In the treatment of human faeces having a starting moisture content, the faeces are pressed between opposing pressing surfaces such as rollers (204, 206 figure 6) in a dryer 200, to press out at least some moisture from the faeces. The pressing surfaces are moved to leave an exposed layer of pressed faeces on at least one of the pressing surfaces which is then scraped by scrapers e.g. (214, 216 figure 6). This produces partially-treated human faeces having a moisture content of not more than 20 wt%. The partially-dried human faeces may then be combusted. This fuel is fed substantially continuously into a combustor 300 at a rate of 0.4-15 g/min combusted continuously over a time of at least 1 hour. In the combustor, there is a reaction chamber (350 figure 8) with a drying zone (352 figure 8) and a first combustion zone (356 figure 8). The reaction chamber is orientable to permit gravity-assisted transit of the fuel from the drying zone to the first combustion zone. The drying zone has a drying zone grate (358 figure 8) configured to hold some of the fuel while combustion of other of the fuel occurs at the first combustion zone. A later embodiments relates to a toilet comprising such a dryer and/or cornbustor.
