Title: Method and apparatus for buffer partioning without loss of data
Inventor: MOLLER HANAN Z
IPC: G06F5/06
Filed: 2002-11-29
Abstract: An apparatus and method for moving and/or resizing logical buffers that comprise a memory space without the loss of data. Each buffer comprises a linear and contiguous set of storage locations, and operates according to a FIFO priority scheme, using a read address pointer to indicate the location from which data is read from the buffer and a write address pointer indicating the address into which data is written. A buffer is relocated or resized within the memory space by changing the base location address (defining the lowest storage location comprising the buffer) and/or the top location address (defining the highest memory location within the buffer) into free storage locations. To accomplish this relocation or resizing without the loss of data, the read address is first checked to determine if it bears an appropriate relationship to the new base and top memory locations.

Patent GB-2383926-A (GB)
Title: OFDM system with simple terminals
Inventor: MCGIBNEY GRANT
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: This invention is a wireless network based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). In a conventional OFDM system, the signal processing hardware is divided equally between the base station and the terminal. In this invention, most of the complex signal processing hardware is shifted to the base station, making the terminal a simpler and more power-efficient device. To send information to the base station, the terminal transmits a series of QPSK symbols that make up an OFDM-code. The bode is designed to distribute the signal's energy into a number of OFDM sub-carriers which can be detected and combined within the base station's OFDM receiver. Other users transmit the same OFDM-codes within the same bandwidth and at the same time, but with slightly offset carrier frequencies. Because of the nature of OFDM, the codes from different users remain orthogonal, even in a multipath radio environment. OFDM signals transmitted from the base station are detected at the terminal using a decimator-accumulator structure.

Title: Vehicle differential control
Inventor: CLARE DAVID ANDREW
IPC: B60K17/346
Filed: 2003-04-14
Abstract: A control system for a drive torque distribution to a vehicle's wheels, comprises monitoring the difference between loads in the vicinity of at least 2 different wheels to which torque is distributed. A degree of locking of torque distribution means is varied accordingly. Thus a difference in speed or drive torque supplied to different wheels is controlled. The system is typically applied to a four wheel drive vehicle comprising centre and rear differentials. A controller 28 receives signals from load sensors 42,44,46,48 in the vicinity of each wheel 11,12,13,14. The controller 28 determines the difference in load between the two rear wheels 13,14 and the difference in load between the front wheels 11,12 and the rear wheels 13,14. The controller 28 typically increases the degree of locking of the centre differential and of the rear wheels as a difference in load between front and rear wheels increases.

Title: A driving method for a multiple view directional display
Inventor: WALTON HARRY G
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 2004-06-02
Abstract: A method of driving a multiple view directional display comprises supplying image data such that the image data for a pixel identify an intended viewing direction of that pixel. The image data for a pixel contain information that identifies an intended viewing direction of that pixel, for example by identifying the intended observer. In a one example, image data for a pixel include a brightness identification field (37) and an observer identification field (39). The invention makes it straightforward for pixels of a display to be reassigned from one image to another, since this can be done just by changing the input image data. It is not necessary to pre-set the driving circuitry to operate in a particular way, since the driving circuitry can identify, from the input image data for a pixel, to which image that pixel relates.

Title: Craft having aerofoil surface for controlling its spin
Inventor: HATTON GEOFFREY
IPC: B64C9/08
Filed: 2005-03-23
Abstract: To prevent the spin of a craft designed to move though, or on a surface of a fluid, means are provided to vary the effective surface area of an aerofoil 6. The craft may be of the type in which a fan 2 directs fluid over a dome-shaped canopy 1 utilising the Coanda effect to generate lift, a plurality of aerofoils 6 being used to counter unwanted rotation of the canopy caused by a reaction to the rotation of the fan. Each aerofoil 6 may be driven into or out of a respective slot by means of an actuator controlled by a signal generated in response to comparison of an output signal, produced by an optical or piezoelectric gyroscope, with a desired attitude set by a steering mechanism. The aerofoils 6 may be located where the angle of attack in relation to the airfiows 7, 14 produced by the fan 2 is significantly dependent upon fan speed.
