Title: Apparatus and method for reducing distortion in amplification
Inventor: KENINGTON PETER BLAKEBOROUGH
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 1993-10-05
Granted: 1995-01-05
Abstract: Broadband amplifiers which are intended to be linear suffer from distortion and although many techniques have been devised to overcome this problem significant improvements are required especially at frequencies above 100 MHz. An error signal is formed from the output of the amplifier 4 by comparison in a subtractor 11 with its input and the error signal is combined in a coupler 17 with the amplifier output to reduce distortion. The present invention provides automatic amplitude and phase control of the signals forming the error signal by means of components 24 and 25 in a multi-channel input and in the error signal by means of components 13 and 14. These components receive control signals from feedback networks 18' and 20' which each process two of three input signals from: couplers 34, 36 before the subtractor 11, a coupler 22 which passes the error signal and a coupler 21 after the coupler 17. Preferably the two input signals used by a feedback network are used to form in-phase and quadrature signals by a 90 DEG  phase shifter 41 and mixers 42 and 43. These signals are each amplified 46, 47 and integrated 48, 49 to provide the control signals. The input signals from the feedback networks may be reduced in frequency and applied to a DSP which then provides the control signals. <IMAGE>

Title: Environmental noise monitoring
Inventor: BULLEN ROBERT BRUCE
IPC: H04R29/00
Filed: 2002-06-28
Granted: 2006-10-05
Abstract: This invention concerns environmental noise monitoring, and more particularly a system and method for environmental noise monitoring. The environmental noise monitoring system comprises three or more sound level transducers arranged apart from each other in an environment containing one or more noise sources. Each transducer is arranged to pick up sounds arriving from all directions and to transduce the sounds into electrical signals. The sound level and direction measuring equipment includes signal samplers connected to respective transducers to receive electrical signals representing environmental sounds and to sample the electrical signals. A computer processor is further provided to perform cross correlation calculations to generate a cross correlation function for each pair of sampled signals. The processor identifies local maxima in the cross correlation functions, estimates the angle of arrival of the sound associated with a local maximum and the sound pressure level associated with the maximum, and uses the estimates of the angles from all cross correlation functions to identify a source of noise in a particular direction and the level of noise from that source, and then identifies additional sources of noise in different directions and the levels of noise from those sources. Noise levels from sources in particular directions may be accumulated, displayed and saved for reference. <IMAGE>

Date Dec. 5, 1996A syringe for injection of doses of a medicine from an exchangeable cartridge has a housing comprising a cartridge holder and a dosing mechanism by which a dose is set and injected by successively advancing a piston rod to press a piston into the cartridge. The dosing mechanism comprises a threaded spindle and a nut member cooperating with the spindle. A dose is set by relative rotation of the spindle and nut member whereby the nut member is moved along the spindle. The position of the nut member on the spindle defines how far the piston rod is advanced. The spindle and the nut are locked against relative rotation when the dosing mechanism is not operated to set a dose. Access to the cartridge holder is obtained by opening a lid connected to the housing and coupled to the dosing mechanism in such a way that the locking of the nut element in its position on the spindle is released when the lid is opened, and the opening movement of the lid is transmitted to a piston rod retraction mechanism.
