Title: Low temperature heating radiator
Inventor: BEALE DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: F24H3/00
Filed: 2001-12-01
Abstract: A heating radiator 1 comprises a plurality of sections 2 made from extruded aluminium or an aluminium alloy, each section 2 comprising a base 4, a bridge 8 and a front portion 6. The sections 2 are joined along their longitudinal edge to form a base panel 20 which is heated to a high temperature by heating means 12. The front portion 6 is heated by conduction through the bridge 8 and so remains relatively cool. Air flows, by convection, through gaps 24, which may be louvred to exclude dust, between the front portions 6, and through the space between front portion 6 and base 4. When the sections 2 are oriented horizontally the bridge 8, or the base 4 may have perforations 10 to permit air- flow. Insulation 26 may be installed between the base panel 20 and the wall and the exposed surfaces may have a high emissivity coating. A free standing version of the radiator 1 may have identical front portions 6 and bridges 8 on both sides of the base panel 20.

Title: Classified adaptive error recovery method and apparatus
Inventor: KONDO TETSUJIRO
IPC: G10L19/005
Filed: 2000-08-22
Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for restoring a deteriorated signal to an undeteriorated signal. A deteriorated signal (101) consists of a plurality of deteriorated and undeteriorated data points. The data signal is preprocessed (280) into a motion compensated signal. For each deteriorated data point, a plurality of class types (205) including a motion vector class is created based upon characteristics of the area containing the deteriorated data point. A motion vector is detected and data is shifted (207) according to the detected motion vector. The data point is classified (211) with respect to one of the plurality of class types and assigned a corresponding input signal class. The undeteriorated signal is generated by adaptively filtering (209) the deteriorated input signal in accordance with the input signal classification result. More than one classification method is used to create the plurality of class types. Created classes may include a motion class, an error class, a spatial class, a spatial activity class, or a motion vector class.

Title: Optical apparatus for implementing Schumacher's quantum data compression
Inventor: SASAKI MASAHIDE
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2004-03-05
Abstract: Quantum source coding apparatus for transmitting block encoded data using photons is disclosed. Each photon is prepared in one of a set of eight non-orthogonal codeword states corresponding to the value of a block of three binary letters. The states occur with unequal probability. A unitary transformation is used at a transmitter to compress this quantum data into a two-qubit quantum channel and at a receiver to restore the original data. In practice compression is achieved by discarding photons in the least likely states. Preferably the photons are prepared using a network of beam splitters and half wave plates.

Title: Three-dimensional deghosting
Inventor: ROBERTSSON JOHAN OLOF ANDERS
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2004-06-12
Abstract: The method presented accounts for three-dimensional effects when deghosting marine seismic data. The method relies on having second-order spatial derivatives in the cross-line direction available. The second-order cross-line derivative can be estimated directly or through indirect measurements of other wavefield quantities and by using wave-equation techniques to compute the desired term. The method preferably employs either a multicomponent streamer towed in the vicinity of the sea surface, a twin-streamer configuration near the sea-surface, or a configuration of three streamers that are separated either vertically or horizontally to estimate the second-order vertical derivative of pressure.
