Patent GB-2500430-A (GB)
Title: A soft toy and book combination
Inventor: WILLEY HEATHER
IPC: A63B3/00
Filed: 2012-03-22
Abstract: A soft toy, typically but not exclusively a doll, comprises a body portion 12 having a hinged flap 20, the flap openable to expose a book-receiving portion 24 having features to removably secure a book (100, figure 5) therein. One cover of the book is removably securable to an inside 26 of the flap 20 and the other cover of the book is removably securable to the body portion 12. The arrangement enables the secured book to be read in situ within the book-receiving portion 24 when the flap is open. The book may be removed and replaced by another book (100', figure 5). Preferably, the toy includes an accessible cavity (50) for storing one or more of the books (100; 100') when not secured in the book-receiving portion. The arrangement encourages early reading through fostering an emotional bond between a child reader and the soft toy and, in turn, characters in the books.

Title: Method for producing mosaic diamond
Inventor: YAMADA HIDEAKI
IPC: C01B31/06
Filed: 2010-12-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing mosaic diamond characterized in that ion implantation is applied to the vicinity of the surfaces of a plurality of diamond single crystal substrates arranged in the form of mosaic, or of mosaic diamond single crystal substrates, the back surfaces of which are bonded by a single crystal diamond layer so as to form a non-diamond layer, and then after the single crystal diamond layer is grown by a vapor-phase synthesis method, the non-diamond layer is etched to separate the single crystal diamond layer upper than the non-diamond layer. A simpler production method than conventional methods makes it possible to avoid destruction of the diamond single crystal substrates to stably and efficiently produce large amounts of the mosaic diamond.

Title: User input timing data to generate a video for accompanying an audio track
Inventor: MCNEENEY CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G10H1/36
Filed: 2012-10-03
Abstract: A computer implemented method is provided for generating a video to accompany an audio track. The method comprises receiving a selection of an audio track 101 to be accompanied by a video and receiving a selection of video content data 102 to be included in the video. Segments of the video content are displayed, on a display, whilst the audio track is simultaneously outputted, i.e. played 104. As the audio file is output, user input is received 105 indicating the time at which each segment of video content data should be displayed in relation to the position reached in the audio file. This timing data is stored for each group 106. A video is then generated 107, either locally or remotely, by generating a video frame for each group of video content data, the video frame including the video content data segment of the group for display, and associating 108 the timing data for each group with the corresponding video frame such that the video frame is displayed at a time based on the time indicated by the user input when the video is played with the audio track 109. The video and audio tracks are thus synchronized by the user. The generated video could find application in Karaoke devices.
Patent GB-2496030-A (GB)
Title: Monopulse radar
Inventor: YU KAI-BOR
IPC: G01S3/32
Filed: 2012-10-15
Abstract: A monopulse radar system with improved immunity to noise, clutter and jamming modifies the sum signal using the elevation or azimuth difference signal. It also modifies the difference signal using the double difference signal (diagonal difference, cross difference). The ratio of the modified signals provides angular position in the usual way. The sum and difference signals may be modified using space-time adaptive processing (STAP). The modified sum signal provides range in the usual way using the maximum of the sum modified using the azimuth difference signal and the sum modified using elevation difference signal.

Title: Electronically controlled throttle defect diagnosis
Inventor: JINBO HIROSHI
IPC: F02D11/10
Filed: 2013-02-06
Abstract: An electronically controlled throttle device, eg in a motorcycle, comprises a throttle valve 21 which is opened or closed by a motor 23 via a gear 22 and is urged in the closing direction by a return spring 24. To diagnose a defect in the throttle device, a diagnosis unit 83a in the ECU 8 sets a target diagnosis opening degree of the throttle valve, drives the motor 23 and discriminates whether the sensed opening degree matches the diagnosis opening degree after a first predetermined time has passed. The diagnosis unit 83a then interrupts driving of the motor 23 to close the throttle valve fully by the force of the return spring 24 and discriminates whether the opening degree of the throttle valve matches a second diagnosis opening degree after a second predetermined time has passed, thereby enabling diagnosis of a defect in the return spring. The diagnosis unit calculates and sets the first and second predetermined times based on a state of the electronically controlled throttle device, eg ambient temperature, engine water and oil temperatures and (for the first predetermined time) the driving voltage of the motor 23.

Title: Transmitter and method of transmitting
Inventor: ATUNGSIRI SAMUEL ASANGBENG
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2013-03-28
Abstract: An frame structure for an OFDM system (eg. DVB) includes preamble and payload symbols (Fig. 5). The preamble symbols include overhead signalling. In order to achieve frame detection/synchronisation a signature sequence 208 is added 212 to each of the sub-carriers of the OFDM symbol 200-204. The sum of the two signals is then inverse Fourier transformed 214 and transmitted 218. The two signals may be power scaled 206/210 to maintain constant signal power. The signature sequence may be an m-sequence, a Gold code or a CAZAC sequence. Detection of the signature sequence may use matched filters. The preamble symbol may also include pilot symbols on some sub-carriers for coarse frequency offset detection/correction (Fig. 17). The number of pilot symbols may be selected to be insufficient for channel impulse response estimation.

Abstract: A package structure 100 for an electronic component 10 such as an image pickup or display device includes a ferromagnetic body 40 which may be a frame surrounding the device or two rods either side of the device (Fig. 11A), and conductor plates or films 811, 813 below the device and embedded in a base body 20, both of which reduce magnetic flux density through the device, hence the noise caused by magnetic fields. The conductor layer may comprise a paramagnetic or diamagnetic body having lower magnetic permeability than the ferromagnetic body. It may overlap part of the ferromagnetic body as well as the device, in which case a counter magnetic field resulting from eddy currents in the conductor caused by the undesirable magnetic field will pass orthogonally through the device and adjacent internal connectors and bond wires 3, 4, 5, in the z direction, and not cause undesirable additive magnetic field components in the x/y plane. A lid 30 placed over the device may be transparent. Outer terminals 7 may be positioned on the bottom of the base body, and connected to inner terminals 5.
