Title: Improvements in or relating to fast frequency hopping demodulators
Inventor: SCHWAB MARTIN
IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 2001-08-24
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for effectively shortening the set-up time of a new receive or transmit frequency in a frequency hopping transceiver. Post-rotation of received baseband signals removes a phase error caused by a local oscillator not yet being phase locked as intended. Pre-rotation of baseband signals for transmission cancels a phase error to be introduced by a local oscillator of the transmit path not yet being phase locked as intended. The method is directed particularly towards de-modulating a phase-modulated baseband signal.

Title: Cylinder deactivation in a variable displacement i.c. engine by intake cam phasing and exhaust valve deactivation
Inventor: BOYER BRADLEY ALAN
IPC: F02P5/15
Filed: 2003-02-12
Abstract: Fuel control and spark deactivation for the engine, especially an engine with a first bank of deactivatable cylinders and a second bank of non-deactivatable cylinders, are sequenced with intake cam phasing and exhaust valve deactivation to avoid transferring engine exhaust gases to the intake manifold and excess air flow through the exhaust system during a transition between full cylinder operation and partial cylinder operation. The method of deactivation involves increasing the throttle opening to increase torque of the non-deactivatable cylinders, advancing the camshaft timing to increase torque for the non-deactivatable cylinders during the transition, while simultaneously retarding the camshaft timing and spark timing to reduce torque for the deactivatable cylinders and deactivating the exhaust valves, fuel injection and spark for the deactivatable cylinders.

Patent GB-2400442-A (GB)
Title: Railway track cant monitoring equipment
Inventor: GILBERT DAVID
IPC: B61K9/08
Filed: 2003-04-08
Abstract: The cant of a railway track may be monitored using sensors in a vehicle, and these sensors may be mounted on a bogie (24) . Vertical linear displacement transducers (38) monitor the tilt of the bogie (24) relative to the wheelset (27) and so to the track. The tilt of the bogie (24) relative to a horizontal plane is assessed in two different ways, dealing respectively with high and low frequency components. The low frequency component, Tl, is determined from comparison of the lateral acceleration, Al, with the centrifugal acceleration, the latter being calculated from measurements of vehicle speed, V, and yaw velocity, Gy. The high frequency component, Ts, is determined by measuring vertical accelerations, Av1 and Av2, of the bogie (24) directly above each end of the wheelset (27) , these accelerations being processed corresponding to double integration, and filtered, so as to deduce the vertical displacements of each side of the bogie. Such equipment (16) may be installed in a service vehicle, and operate automatically, downloading resulting data to a remote base station at regular intervals.
