Patent GB-2332603-A (GB)
Title: Multi-directional OFDM communication systems
Inventor: RING STEVEN RICHARD
IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: In a multi-directional orthogonal frequency division modulation (OFDM) communication system, for example, on a digital subscriber line, an uplink channel is provided by a first group of the OFDM sub-channels (sub-carriers), and a downlink channel is provided by a second group of the OFDM sub-channels (sub-carriers). The orthogonality of the sub-carriers generated by different transmitters is improved by providing a frequency and/or time synchronising signal for providing reference frequency and timing. In a further aspect, multiplex communication over a network between three or more stations is provided by distributing the OFDM sub-channels (sub-carriers) between the stations to provide three or more channels within the OFDM bandwidth , Fig. 9 (not shown). Communication efficiency is improved by controlling the relative number of sub-channels allocated to each group, and hence controlling the capacity of the channels dynamically. Preferably, the relative capacities are controlled in repsonse to demand for channel capacity.

Title: Low power receiver
Inventor: LYONS PATRICK JOHN
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 1998-11-13
Abstract: A low power radio receiver (3) is for use in a remote keyless entry system for a motor vehicle having an electronic control unit (2) for controlling e.g. a car alarm (5), a vehicle immobiliser (6), and a central locking system (7), in response to transmitted signals comprising a preamble and security code.

Title: Portable telephone with hook condition detector
Inventor: OSHIMI MASANORI
IPC: H04M1/724
Filed: 1999-07-22
Abstract: A portable telephone (4) comprising an external antenna connector portion (7) for connecting it to an external antenna (2) can detect hook conditions by providing a detecting terminal (73) formed by a portion 72 of the external antenna shield (74). In an on-hook condition where the portable telephone is mounted on an on-vehicle adapter (1), corresponding shield portions (72, 73 and 32) of the external antenna connector portions (7 and 3) provided on both the portable telephone and the on-vehicle adapter come into contact with each other. On the other hand, in an off-hook condition where the portable telephone (4) is disengaged from the on-vehicle adapter or the on-vehicle holder (1), the corresponding shield portions are out of contact from each other. The hook conditions can be thus detected by detecting the change in the contact between the shield portions (73 and 72).

Title: Transmission power control in radio communications device in which one gain control device may be switched off when not needed to save power
Inventor: ICHIKAWA YASUFUMI
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1999-08-03
Abstract: A radio communication device has a variable resistor (20) and a power amplifier (21) and a variable power amplifier (22) as variable power amplification means. Gain control of the variable resistor (20) and the variable power amplifier (22) is performed for controlling transmission power of the radio communication device so that detection in a first transmission power detection section (26) and detection power detected in a second transmission power detection section (27) are made equal by a variable power amplification control section (31). At this time, when the detection power difference becomes zero, the variable resistor (20) and the power amplifier (21) are switched off under the control of a switch control section (29) for prolonging the time period over which power supply is stopped.

Title: Multiple-Precision arithmetic method
Inventor: KERMODE ALAN ARTHUR MICHAEL
IPC: G06F7/52
Filed: 1999-08-19
Abstract: A method for performing multiple-precision arithmetic, particularly multiplication and modulo division, by electronic arithmetic means, wherein the method evaluates a function and the evaluation of the function comprises a number of iterations, each iteration comprising two operands, and the method comprises the steps of generating a set of word arrays from a first operand, each word array comprising a shifted copy of the first operand, and generating coding wholly or at least in part in response to the second operand, the coding being operative to utilise the appropriate word arrays in performing an iteration and at least a substantial proportion of iterations being performed as respective sections of in-line code. The method is particularly advantageous since it eliminates those time-consuming operations not directly involved in the arithmetic process. A specific application of the method is for the evaluation of the RSA algorithm for public key cryptography by encryption and decryption apparatus for portable record carriers such as smart cards.

Title: Controlling battery temperature in a hybrid vehicle
Inventor: RANSON MARTIN
IPC: F01P7/04
Filed: 1999-08-27
Abstract: A vehicle 10 has a heat engine 12 with a cooling circuit 16 including a radiator 18 and a traction battery 14 provided with cooling and temperature management circuit 26 including a heat exchanger 24 and a pump 28. A valve 22 selectively allows engine coolant in circuit 16 to pass through the heat exchanger 24 so that the hotter of the two circuits will transfer heat to the cooler. The battery can thus be heated to its correct operating temperature and excess heat can be transferred to the engine cooling circuit or dissipated by the heat exchanger 24. The engine cooling circuit 16 may incorporate an electrically-driven pump to allow circulation and engine heating when the engine is not running.

Title: Detecting contact of antenna with user of mobile telephone
Inventor: MIZOGUCHI TAMIYUKI
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1999-11-19
Abstract: A portable phone includes an antenna 11. A detecting circuit 29, 35 detects contact of the antenna with a user or a decrease in the electric-field intensity around the antenna, and generates a notice signal based on the detecting result. A notifying section 35, 8, 9 notifies the user, in response to the notice signal, that the antenna is in contact with the user. Contact of the antenna with the user may be determined by detecting 29 the power of the signal reflected from the antenna, due to a change in the antenna's impedance, when a transmission signal is applied to it. Alternatively a second, diversity, receiving antenna (11b, fig.15) may be employed and the difference in received power between the first (11a, fig.15) and second (11b) antennas may be used to determine contact.

Title: Method for making point-bases situating in single line first for founding walls protecting against noise
Inventor: CORDES JUERGEN
IPC: E02D27/10
Filed: 1992-01-03
Abstract: To construct a foundation for a noise barrier, which foundation consists of a number of individual foundations, along a traffic route, e.g. a railway track, running on an embankment, steel sheeting tubes (7) are first of all progressively positioned at the locations provided for the foundations and are lowered into the embankment body (1) while excavating the surrounding soil. Track supports (16) for forming a temporary track (14) for mobile construction equipment are laid across the lowered sheeting tubes (7). By means of this construction equipment, small pillars (18) can be lowered into the ground from this track (14) in the protection of the sheeting tubes (7) and finally - during simultaneous retreat of the track (14) - concrete can be placed in the hollow spaces formed by the sheeting tubes while the same are withdrawn. The sheeting tubes (7) therefore serve as formwork for foundation bodies in which the pillar heads of the small pillars bond in place and on which posts or the like for the noise barrier to be constructed can then be mounted. <IMAGE>
