Title: Deriving mixing signals in phase quadrature even when the time delay between the mixing signals is not an integer multiple of a clock period
Inventor: LEFLEY ALASTAIR
IPC: H03D3/00
Filed: 2010-02-25
Abstract: In quadrature demodulators, it is known to provide two mixing signals in phase quadrature by dividing down (i.e. down-sampling) a common clock signal by a factor of 4x, where x is an integer. The present application proposes techniques to provide quadrature delay even when the clock signal is not an integer multiple of 4 times the required mixing frequency. In one embodiment (claim 1 and Fig. 8) the mixing signals are selected to minimise the average of each mixing signal over an even number of signal periods so that the average delay between the two mixing signals taken over four cycles is a quadrature delay. In another embodiment, (claim 2 and Fig. 7) padding samples are inserted to ensure that each mixing signal has a constant duty cycle (i.e the proportion of the mixing signal cycle spent in logic state 1 is the same in every cycle). The mixing signal could for example contain logic states 1 and -1, with short zero padding intervals. Another embodiment (Fig. 9) combines the features of the two embodiments described above.

Title: Packet network clock distribution by line timing synchronisation with clock accuracy packets and selection amongst incoming timing signals
Inventor: BEDROSIAN P STEPHAN
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2006-04-21
Abstract: In a packet network 400 (eg Ethernet) line timing signals 419 are injected on to the communication lines. At the receivers 402-5 the clock information is extracted 441. For node with multiple incoming port 404 selection is made amongst the clock signals to feed the local timing engine 446 and a derived clock signal output 454/456. In other nodes 405 one or more of these derived signal 456 may be received and selected amongst 435 to drive the local timing engine 447. The packet data streams may include synchronisation status packets that identify the accuracy level of the reference clock source 411. Receivers can select amongst the available incoming clocks by comparing pairs of clocks in turn. Nodes may redistribute the derived clock signals as line timing over output ports. The system may be used to distribute clocks from central offices to base stations in wireless telephone networks. The base stations may use the clocks to generate air interface clocks.

Title: Reverse scheduling subframes in a communications network to prevent data transmission
Inventor: KELA KALLE PETTERI
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2011-06-27
Abstract: A base station transmits reverse scheduling information to a terminal, the reverse scheduling information being associated with one or more subframes of a radio data transmission between the terminal and the base station and comprising information indicating that at least part of the subframe(s) is not utilized for the radio data transmission. The reverse scheduling may be applied to semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) received at the terminal, resulting in reversed semi-persistent scheduling. The reverse scheduling (or de-allocation of resources) may be in response to the detection of excessive noise and/or interference, e.g. between a femto cell and a macro cell. With this mechanism, a network can mute selected terminals and/or signals to the terminals in a certain sub-frame or patterns of subframes, and previously allocated semi-persistent allocations may be temporarily cancelled. The invention has particular application to 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems.

Title: Solid capacitor containing a coating formed from a colloidal dispersion
Inventor: BILER MARTIN
IPC: H01G9/00
Filed: 2012-02-14
Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor includes an anode body, a dielectric overlying the anode body, a solid electrolyte overlying the dielectric, and a colloidal particle coating that overlies the solid electrolyte, the coating is formed from a colloidal particle dispersion wherein the particles of the dispersion contain at least two different polymer components     i.e., a conductive polymer and a latex polymer. One benefit of such a coating is that the presence of the latex polymer can help mechanically stabilize the capacitor during encapsulation due to its relatively soft nature. This helps limit delamination of the solid electrolyte and any other damage that may otherwise occur during formation of the capacitor. Furthermore, the latex polymer can also enhance the ability of the particles to be dispersed in an aqueous medium, which is desirable in various applications. The dielectric layer is formed by anodically oxidizing the anode layer. In preferred embodiments the conductive polymer element is poly(styrene-co-(ethylene glycol) methacrylate); the conductive polymer is preferably 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene; and the anode is preferably a tantalum anode.
