Title: Clock recovery method and apparatus
Inventor: TOIFL THOMAS
IPC: H04L7/033
Filed: 2014-11-21
Abstract: A method of phase rotation for use in clock recovery comprises the steps of: i) providing a timing estimation value (TEV) at least indicating for each of the input data symbols f(t) whether an input data sample has been sampled early or late by a sampling clock signal CLK; ii) generating a phase offset value Ïn-k indicating a phase rotation PR of the sampling clock signal CLK based on the TEV; and iii) modifying the timing function value based on a change of the phase offset value ÎÏ, resulting in the timing estimation value (TEV). In an embodiment, the timing estimation means includes a timing function block 61 which receives the corrected data samples and applies a Mueller-Muller timing function. An inner loop feeds back the obtained phase offset value Ïn-k to an adder 62 to correct the delay caused by propagation of the incoming data stream the ADC 2 and the optional feed forward equaliser 5. In general, the outer control loop and the inner control loop both perform feedback control to keep the timing function value to zero.

Title: Microalgae cultivation process and equipment
Inventor: BERNARD ZEELIE
IPC: C12M1/04
Filed: 2015-07-01
Abstract: Microalgae cultivation equipment in which a raceway 1 (also known as an open pond or open photobioreactor) comprises multiple upright photobioreactors 2 (also known as closed photobioreactors, air lifts or bubble columns) and a means for inducing flow through the raceway 16 (such as paddle wheels, impellers or water jets). The lowermost end of the photobioreactor columns are immersed inside the liquid growth medium in the raceway component and are fed with liquid growth medium by a circulation promoting facility 3 circulating the liquid growth medium from the raceway through the photobioreactor columns to become discharged back into the raceway. Gas inlets provide CO2 containing gas bubbles passing upwards in each of the photobioreactor columns 14. This arrangement increases the total surface area of liquid medium exposed to light and allows greater control of CO2 levels in the growth medium.
