Title: Vehicle cleaning and drying compositions
Inventor: HEI ROBERT D
IPC: C11D1/42
Filed: 1998-02-10
Abstract: A touchless car wash composition, that can be made from a concentrate and diluted to use concentration using commonly available service water comprises a fatty ether amine or diamine. The compositions are typically free of hydrocarbon solvents or wax and silicone materials that are common in prior art compositions. The compositions are used in touchless car wash processes in which the materials are sprayed in the form of an aqueous dilute solution to remove soil from the vehicle surface. The aqueous compositions are self removing and very small amounts of the aqueous solutions remain to create water spotting on cleaned vehicle surfaces. The compositions can also contain a variety of other ingredients. When used in systems using direct contact with a brush, the friction between the brush and the vehicle surface is substantially reduced.

Title: Extinguishing fires in building panels
Inventor: HOOD CHRISTOPHER JOHN
IPC: A62C37/12
Filed: 1998-08-25
Abstract: Fires in composite building panels having a flammable core are extinguished using a fluid mist. The mist is generated by mist generators such as, for example, nozzles that are supplied with fire extinguishing fluid via a distribution manifold that has a heat sensor. When the heat sensor is actuated a valve in the manifold is opened to allow flow of fluid to the nozzles. The nozzles are disposed on one or both sides of the panels and are designed to generate a fluid mist of between 0 to 100 bar and having a droplet size of 60 to 900 microns. Panels typically comprise a pair of spaced metal panel members sandwiching a polystyrene filling.

IPC: F16L5/04
Filed: 1998-10-01
Abstract: A sheath 11 for a fire protection sleeve intumescent strip 17 which expands when subject to heat, wherein the intumescent strip 17 is housed in an expandable sheath 11 of a knitted fabric. The sheath is mainly knitted of a yarn made of an inorganic material (21, figure 3), e.g. glass fibre, and has portions knitted from a thermally degradable yarn (32, figure 3) so that on exposure to heat the thermally degradable yarn disintegrates allowing the fabric of the sleeve to ladder and expand with the intumescent material. The sheath 11 may have a single jersey tubular construction, or may be formed as two layers 12,13 joined together. Preferably, the thermally degradable fibres (32, figure 3) are knitted at regularly spaced intervals 16 along the length of the sheath 11.

Title: Tubing hanger with angled passageway
Inventor: BRUNJES C JEAN
IPC: E21B33/04
Filed: 1999-01-13
Abstract: A tubing hanger (16) in a tubing head (12) of a wellhead assembly (10) is provided with an angled passageway (32) for reducing an angle of bend in a control line (28) exiting from the tubing hanger(16). The angled passageway extends from the bottom 30 to the top 20 of the tubing hanger and is angled relative to the longitudinal axis (42). By traversing the longitudinal axis with the angled passageway, a sufficient angular orientation of the control line is achieved to minimize bend in the control tube. Another embodiment teaches an upper angled passageway segment in communication with a lower angled passageway segment that interface with one another at an angle (see Fig 3). By providing two interacting angled passageways, the required angle of bend of the control tube exiting from the tubing hanger is further reduced.

Title: Subsea completion with integral valves
Inventor: KENT RICHARD
IPC: E21B34/04
Filed: 1999-02-11
Abstract: A subsea completion (10, fig. 1) used with a wellhead (12, fig. 1) comprises an in-line tree (18) received within a tubing spool (16), the in-line tree including at least one valve closure element, eg valve gates (116, 118). Valve actuator couplings e.g. push rods (54, 56, 58, 60) are operatively engaged with the valve closure elements and extend through the walls of the in-line tree and tubing spool. Relatively bulky valve actuator mechanisms may therefore be mounted externally of the wellhead, with only relatively small actuator couplings extending into the tree interiors. The in-line tree may be used in together with a Christmas tree (46, fig. 1) secured and sealed to the tubing spool, or a jumper module (70, fig. 2) and separate flow control package (80, fig. 2).

Title: An apparatus and a method for a telecommunication system
Inventor: KARLSSON JONAS
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1997-08-08
Abstract: A receiver device (703) downspreads signals from a band spreading signal, which generates downspread symbol sequences (803). A vector generator (704) generates symbol vectors (805) which include a symbol from each downspread symbol sequence (803). An auxiliary receiver (705) detects symbol vectors (805) in a first window (809) with the length of one symbol time. The auxiliary receiver (705) generates provisional estimates of the symbol vectors (805) with the help of a device with a first window algorithm (811). A delaying module (706) delays the symbol vectors (805) from the vector generator (704) by one symbol time before they reach a main receiver (707). The main receiver (707) detects in a second window (806) the symbol vectors (805) with the length of one symbol time. The main receiver (707) uses a device with a second window algorithm (808) in order to estimate the received symbol vectors (805) with reference taken to the previously estimated symbol vectors in the main receiver (705) and the provisional estimates of the symbol vectors (805) from the auxiliary receiver (705). A component generator (710) divides up the estimated symbol vectors (807) from the main receiver into separate components (815).

A member 53 pivotally mounted on the slider has a projection 531 which engages an aperture 515 in the plate 514 to releasably retain the slider in its first position.
Patent GB-2337424-A (GB)
Title: Radio channel quality estimation
Inventor: HILLIER ADRIAN PAUL
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: An apparatus 1 for estimating the quality of a differential quaternary phase-shift keying (DQPSK) digitally modulated radio signal. The signal 2 is input to a differential demodulator 3 in which a sequence of digitally modulated constellation points is differentially demodulated to produce a sequence 4 of demodulated constellation points or symbols of the demodulated signal. The magnitudes of the instantaneous energies of the in-phase and quadrature-phase components of each symbol in the sequence 4 is then determined. This gives the instantaneous value of the scalar energy of each sampled symbol in the digitally modulated signal. The radio channel service quality is estimated by determining the variation of a set of two or more of the symbol energy values, e.g. by considering the variance of the set of values in the scalar amplitude sequence. Also mentioned is a method of ensuring that only good quality speech is played to a listener, wherein the aforementioned quality estimation is used, typically in conjunction with a CRC check, to determining whether playback should be allowed.

Title: Detecting double-talk in an echo canceller
Inventor: LI TOM HONG
IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 1999-08-02
Abstract: A double-talk detection device (400) detects the presence of near-end speech signals for an echo canceller including an adaptive filter to generate an echo estimate. A control device (300) generates the coefficients for the adaptive filter. The control device (300) includes a coefficient updating circuit (320). A buffer (314) holds the previous filter coefficients and a buffer (318) holds the current filter coefficients. The double-talk detection device (400) detects the presence of near-end speech signals based upon a detected variation of the coefficients. The detection device (400) is used to detect a double-talk condition during a single-talk condition and a single-talk condition during the double-talk condition.

Title: CDMA mobile communications
Inventor: HONDA SHOICHIRO
IPC: H04J13/10
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: In a CDMA mobile communications device, a long code generator can be eliminated from a receiving section by storing a received long code at an output timing of a decimating section through calculation of a write address of a FIFO buffer 18 and, calculation of a read address of the FIFO buffer at the cycle of a reference clock signal output from a reference clock signal generation section using counters 16,17. A symbol combining section combines symbols received over spread paths and outputs from a RAKE receiving section at the cycle of the reference clock signal and demodulates the combined symbol through use of the received long code.
