Title: Differential signal inversion compensation by inversion of sign bit in the associated digital signal
Inventor: FOREY SIMON
IPC: H04L25/08
Filed: 2008-02-07
Abstract: When routing signal tracks on PCBs and the like it is advantageous to avoid crossovers in order to maintain track symmetry. This can result in the signal orientation becoming inverted between the input and output devices (See Figs. 6 and 7). Switches operating on the differential signal at high data rates to correct the inversion can be problematic. The invention proposes a differential line <B>806,808</B> driver for the transmitter and an analogue to digital converter (ADC) <B>802</B> for the receiver which, respectively, input/output digital data in a magnitude <B>810</B> and sign <B>814</B> format. An inversion signal <B>812</B> is also input and used to invert <B>804</B> the sign bit when necessary, using an XOR gate or equivalent. The system can be incorporated into serialiser/deserialiser (SerDes) applications with protocols such as Ethernet.

Title: Symbol to sub-carrier interleaver for DVB-T2 wherein the permutation matrix applied to the LFSR bits is varied from OFDM symbol to OFDM symbol
Inventor: TAYLOR MATTHEW PAUL ATHOL
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2008-10-22
Abstract: DVB-T and DVB-H (de)interleave symbols to/from sub-carriers using a pseudo random sequence generated using an LFSR (linear feedback shift register) <B>200</B> whose bits are fed through a permutation matrix <B>210</B> to generate the read/write address for the interleaver memory. The invention provides improved separation between symbols either by applying an offset to the addresses that changes from symbol to symbol, or by changing the permutation matrix from symbol to symbol. The invention normally uses a rotating sequence of offsets or matrices. The interleaver can also switch between a mode wherein a memory location is written to with the next symbol immediately after the current symbol has been read (Fig. 4), when the number of sub-carriers exceeds half the number of memory locations, and a mode where alternate symbols are each assigned their own memory locations otherwise (Figs. 9 and 10).

Abstract: 512,162. Wood, cutting or sawing. KODAK, Ltd., and GUY, H. April 1, 1938, No. 10072. [Classes 145 (i) and 145 (ii)] [Also in Group XXII] In a machine having means for automatically feeding and cutting work blanks, the blank is moved towards a saw, rotary cutter or boring tool while it is clamped between a fixed and a movable jaw operated by a cam which moves bodily with the jaw operating means to maintain the clamping action until after the cutting operation has been completed, when the jaws are returned and the blank ejected. The bottom blank 11 from a pile in the hopper 48 is clamped between a fixed jaw 5 and a movable jaw 6 carried by a reciprocating table. The jaw 6 is carried on the end of a slidable rod 15 which is urged in the release direction by a spring 31 and is moved in the clamping direction by a bellcrank lever 20 and a roller 23 engaging a rocking and sliding cam 24. When the table is moved to the right, roller 23 runs up incline 26 on the cam on to the raised part 27, thus clamping the blank 11. The cam then tilts so that projection 36 therein is released from stop 34 and is engaged by projection 35 on lever 20 whereby the cam is carried along with the work table and moves between fixed guides 28. The blank 11 is thus moved into engagement with cutter 56. Upon reversal of the table to move to the left, roller 23 runs down cam incline 26 and the clamps are released, the cam then being carried to the left with the work table. When the table has moved to its extreme position, the blank 11 is ejected sideways into shoot 79 by the end of lever 62 which is pivoted at 63 to the work table and is operated by a roller 76 on the short arm engaging triangular cam surfaces 68, 69, 70 and outer, guides 72, 73, 74 carried by the frame of the machine. A finger 57 assists in holding the blank up to the cutter.

Title: Improvements in or relating to sound absorbing devices
IPC: E04B1/86
Filed: 1955-04-07
Abstract: A self-supporting sound-absorbent sheet material of thickness between 0.5 and 5.0 mm. has an open microporous structure and an air flow resistance of 25 to 1000 gm. cm.-2 sec.-1. In one process of making such material, a polyester resin is dissolved in a fast evaporating solvent, methylene chloride. Cyclohexanone peroxide and cobalt naphthanate are used respectively as a hardener and as an accelerator.  The viscosity may be decreased by addition of monostyrene.  The solution is mixed with ethylene-glycol which has a high boiling point and does not dissolve the resin.  The mixture is heated to 160 DEG  C. between metal plates.  The methylene chloride and the ethylene-glycol evaporate in successive stages leaving a microporous sheet of resin.  The sheet may incorporate a filter or carrier of fibre or of fabric.  The porosity depends upon the proportions of the constituents and on the pressure.  Specification 698,613 [Group V], is referred to.ALSO:A self-supporting sound-absorbent sheet material of thickness between 0,5 and 5,0 mm. has an open microporous structure and an air flow resistance of 25 to 1000 gm. cm.-2 sec.-1. In one process of making such material, a polyester resin is dissolved in a fast-evaporating solvent, e.g., methylene chloride. Cyclohexanone peroxide and cobalt naphthenate are used respectively as a hardener and as an accelerator.  The viscosity may be decreased by addition of monostyrene.

The methylene chloride and the ethylene glycol evaporate in successive stages leaving a microporous sheet of resin. The sheet may incorporate a filler or carrier of fibrous material or of fabric.  The porosity depends upon the proportions of the constituents and on the pressure.  In another process, a fibre fleece derived from sodium glass webbing is treated with potassium silicate and antimony trioxide to produce a silica gel.  On pressing and heating to a temperature insufficient to sublimate the antimony trioxide, a microporous solid sheet is formed.  The antimony trioxide controls the porosity.  A sheet may be decorated and its acoustic properties may be finely adjusted by spraying with a lacquer such as chlorinated rubber dissolved in methylene chloride, colouring matter being added as necessary.  The sheets may be used for modifying the acoustic properties of rooms.  (See Group XXXVIII). Specification 698,613 is referred to.
