Title: Over-speed control of a semi-buoyant tidal turbine
Inventor: TODMAN MICHAEL TORR
IPC: F03B13/26
Filed: 2006-09-13
Abstract: A semi-buoyant tidal energy turbine system tethered to the seabed by an articulated rigid arm 3. Turbine over-speed control is provided by allowing pressure from the tidal flow 5 to swing the turbine(s) 2 away from a vertical orientation, thus disrupting the flow 5 and reducing energy transfer into the turbine rotors, and thus limiting the potential over-speed. The swinging of the turbine(s) 2 may be assisted by mechanical means such as a rack and pinion, ball-screw, hydraulic ram or adjustable cables and winches. A locking brake may be provided to enable emergency release of the turbine(s) 2, as well as a quick release mechanism for a cable restraint tether system. The rack and pinion, ball-screw, hydraulic ram or adjustable cables and winch system may also be used for trimming the angle of the turbine(s) presented to the tidal flow 5.

Title: Minimising a cost function in encoding data using spectral partitioning
Inventor: HARGREAVES DAVID RICHARD
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2007-10-30
Abstract: Methods of spectral partitioning which may be implemented in an encoder are described. The methods comprise determining an estimate of bit requirements for each of a plurality of spectral sub-bands. These estimates are then used to group the sub-bands into two or more regions by minimising a cost function. This cost function is based on the estimates of bit requirements for each sub-band and the estimates may include estimates of code bit requirements and / or additional code bit requirements for each sub-band. These estimates may be determined in many different ways and a number of methods are described. One embodiment describes the use of Huffman coding (with a Huffman tree and Huffman tables) to encode audio data such as MP3 (MPEG Layer 3) format audio.

Title: I.c engine adaptive ignition dwell determination based on ionization feedback
Inventor: ZHU GUOMING GEORGE
IPC: F02P3/045
Filed: 2007-12-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a system for controlling the ignition coil charge time (dwell duration) of an internal combustion engine. The system comprises a sensor, eg ionization detection coil 22, which outputs an ionization signal to a stochastic controller 10 which is configured to determine a combustion stability criterion, based on the ionization signal, from which is determined a minimum ignition coil charge duration (dwell) to meet a desired level of combustion stability. The ionization signal may be sampled at 12, eg at every crank degree, before being relayed to the combustion stability criterion calculation module 14 which sends the actual combustion stability measurer (integral location) to the stochastic dwell control module 16. The dwell control module 16 determines the minimum dwell duration, eg using a look-up table, based on the desired combustion stability level and the actual stability criterion and outputs the duration to the ignition control strategy module 18.
