Title: A dry air filter with self-cleaning dust outlet
Inventor: FREYTAG ERICH
IPC: F02M35/024
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: A dry air filter 4 for a vehicle internal combustion engine comprises a housing 5 containing a filter cartridge 7 and a preliminary dust filtering stage 6 with an exhaust 8. The exhaust 8 has a nozzle-shaped section 20 supplied with compressed air, blown via a conduit 11, in the direction of a free opening of the exhaust 21, by means of an ejector effect in order to clean the outlet 8 of dust. The outlet end of the conduit 11 opens at the narrowest point of the nozzle-shaped section 20, and includes a slot (28, Fig 3) creating an annular flow of compressed air in conjunction with a conical insert 24 mounted in the nozzle-shaped section and facing the exhaust opening 21 and has an outer surface which runs closely parallel to the inner surface of the nozzle-shaped section 20 forming an annulus 25 which provides an annular flow of compressed air. Preferably the conical insert 24 is adjustable due to the force of a compression spring 26 mounted between the insert 24 and a support bracket 27 attached to the exhaust 21.

Title: Equifrequent radio interference unit transmitting signals for interference jamming
Inventor: CHEN PETER
IPC: H04B1/10
Filed: 2002-02-19
Abstract: Adjacent, remotely controlled wireless products operating at the same frequency, e.g. wireless keyboards/mice, suffer interference when the receiver of a first product receives a signal radiated from the transmitter of a second product. The invention eliminates this mutual interference by having an equifrequent radio interference transmitter positioned between the interfering products. The transmitter transmits a signal whose power is selected so that, at the receiver of the first product, the signal is stronger than the radiated signal and thus prevents reception of the radiated signal, while at the receiver of the second product, the signal is weaker than the radiated signal. The transmitting equifrequent radio interference unit includes: a frequency-modulation circuit 1 modulating a radio frequency into a predetermined range; a crystal-oscillating and frequency adjusting circuit 2 which is limited by the modulator to generate an oscillating frequency within said predetermined frequency range and which adjusts and corrects said oscillating frequency into a more accurate frequency range; a power-adjusting circuit 3 adjusting the corrected oscillating frequency to a desired power intensity depending on a distance the frequency is to be transmitted and a power-output circuit 4 continuously transmitting an equifrequent carrier-free signal via a transmitting antenna 5.

Title: Linear Amplifier
Inventor: SYMONS ROBERT SPENCER
IPC: H01J25/04
Filed: 1998-07-02
Abstract: A linear amplifier comprises an electron gun assembly (42) having a cathode (15), and an anode (16) spaced from the cathode. A relatively high voltage potential is applied between the anode and the cathode, and the cathode provides an electron beam in response to the relatively high voltage potential. A control grid (14) is spaced between the cathode and the anode, and is coupled via an input cavity to an input port 23 adapted to receive the RF input signal. The input signal causes the control grid (14) to density modulate the beam. The control gird (14) is also coupled to a bias voltage source (VB) to preclude transmission of the electron beam during the negative half cycle of the input signal. A plurality of collector stages (31, 32, 34, 36, 38) are provided with respective electric potential ranging between a potential of the cathode (15) and a potential of the anode (16) to efficiently collect the electrons of the beam after passing the anode (16). A gap (27) spaced from the anode (16) and opposite the control grid (14) is coupled to an output cavity 29 having a port 25 to provide an amplified output signal therefrom. The respective electric potentials of the collector stages have corresponding voltage values such as to provide near-constant and high efficiency across a power range of the input signal.

Title: Time variant defect correcting method and apparatus in infrared thermal imaging system.
Inventor: JOUNG SHI-CHANG
IPC: H04N5/367
Filed: 2002-05-24
Abstract: In a time variant defect correcting method in an infrared thermal imaging system, digital video signals representing a frame are received S110 and it is determined whether a first pixel from the frame is likely to be a defect. If the first pixel is likely to be a defect, the number of defect determinations for the first pixel is counted S170 and the count value is compared with a threshold count S180. If the count value is equal to or less than the threshold count, digital video signals representing a next frame are received and it is determined whether the first pixel in the next frame is likely to be a defect. If the count value exceeds the threshold count, the first pixel is registered as a defect and corrected S190. A pixel may be classified as a defect, and corrected, using the values of adjacent pixels, e.g. by determining edge transitions with surrounding pixels.

Title: Wireless transmission of a data sequence
Inventor: YEE MONG SUAN
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2003-12-02
Abstract: This invention relates to transmission and reception in wireless communication systems, in which a receiver receives transmissions from a plurality of antennae at a single transmitter, e.g. MIMO and MISO channel based systems. To avoid multi-path interference problems, space-time diversity is used, with transmission from a first antenna of a data sequence xn and simultaneously from a spatially separated second antenna an interleaved version xn-1. At the receiver 506, the received signals are processed by respective equalisers 521,522, representing the two transmit antennae. The sequence estimated to be from the second antenna is de-interleaved 524 and combined 523 with the sequence estimated to be from the first antenna. Alternatively the better sequence may be selected. The equalisers may be SISO equalisers receiving feedback from each other to iterate the estimation for improved performance.
