Title: Process priority profiles in a computer system
Inventor: OSTOJIC DEJAN
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2006-12-07
Abstract: In a computing system, such as a mobile phone, one or more predefined profiles are used to assign the priorities of processes, such as user processes and communications processes. A profile may be activated in response to a predetermined condition in the computer system. Alternatively, the profile may be selected by the user. The priority may determine whether a process is loaded into working memory. It may also determine how much processing time is allocated to the process. The profile may be defined by a user interface with a control, such as a slider, for each process. Alternatively, the profile may be defined by the system monitoring its operation.

Title: A method and apparatus for increasing the efficiency of low power amplifiers
Inventor: ELIA AVNER
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2006-07-20
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for reducing the current consumption and increasing the efficiency of an RF power amplifier (PA), while maintaining the output power. The desired output power of the PA is determined and for each level of the desired output power, the load that is connected to the output stage of the PA is tuned to essentially match the output impedance of the output stage to provide maximal gain. By doing so, the dynamic RF load line has a slope that causes it to intersect with the drain-source (or emitter-collector, in case of a bipolar transistor) voltage, across the output stage, at a value that corresponds to the voltage swing required to provide the desired output power.

Title: Surface characteristic determining apparatus
Inventor: XIANGQIAN JIANG
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2007-06-14
Abstract: Light from the first and second different wavelength light sources is combined and supplied to a director that directs zeroth order light to a reference surface and other order, generally first order diffracted light to on a location of the sample surface which is dependent upon wavelength. Light reflected by the sample and reference surfaces interfere. A characteristic of a sample surface is determined from interference light of the first wavelength. Interference light of the second wavelength is used to enable phase-locking by adiusting the path length difference by moving the reference surface or changing the refractive index of a path portion to compensate for phase variation due to environmental effects. Non- mechanical scanning is used to scan the sample surface by using a variable wavelength source and a director providing different first order diffraction angles for different wavelengths or an acousto-optical device that provides a variable pitch acoustic diffraction grating.

Abstract: 916,047. Laminates and laminating. BRITISH CELANESE Ltd. March 21, 1961 [March 22, 1960], No. 10042/60. Class 140. Paper or like cellulosic material, particularly prints of drawings, tables, technical articles &c. are laminated with protective films of cellulose acetate by impregnating the paper with a solvent-plasticizer for the film, pressing- off excess impregnant, applying the film simultaneously to both sides of the paper and feeding the laminate to, and rolling and holding it upon, a roller under tension. The solventplasticizer impregnant may be a high boiling plasticizer for cellulose acetate, such as triacetin, diacetin, or trichlorethyl phosphate, or a mixture, preferably 50 : 50 by weight, of an other-than-high boiling plasticizer with a solvent for cellulose acetate, for example a mixture of dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate or dibutyl phthalate and ethylene glycol monethyl ether, diethylene glycol diacetate, or diglycol diacetate. The impregnant may also contain a small proportion, e.g. 1-1%, of a high molecular weight material such as cellulose acetate itself or polyvinyl chloride. As shown, a paper web 1 drawn from a roll 2 is impregnated in a bath 3, excess impregnant being pressed out between rollers 5, and is laminated on both sides between rollers 6 to films 7, 7<SP>1</SP> of cellulose acetate drawn from rolls 8, 8<SP>1</SP>. The rollers 6 are lightly braked, so that the laminate 9 is rolled under tension upon and held until bonding is complete on, a roller 10. The process is carried out at ordinary temperatures. According to the Provisional Specification, heat may be used and the cellulose acetate films may be replaced by films of polyvinyl chloride.

Abstract: 489,879. Dish-washing machines. RODDA, H. W. April 9, 1937, No. 10111. [Class 138 (i)] Articles of crockery &c. to be washed are loaded into a suitable rack 21 and slid through a lateral opening into a tank 3 on to rotating .supporting rollers 20 driven by gearing from the impeller shaft 14 so that the plates &c. are rotated about a horizontal axis as the hot water is thrown up by the impeller over them. The hinged door 4 of the tank carries an arm 17 connected by a cord 18 to a deflector 16 so that the action of the impeller is suppressed when the door is opened. Clean water is supplied from an overhead sprinkler pipe 7 and an overflow 8 maintains the water in the tank at the proper level. The sump may be drained by means of an opening 10 leading to the discharge pipe 9 which opening is normally covered by a valve 11 adapted to be moved aside by means of a rod operated by a finger lever 12. When the rack 21 is loaded into the machine the plates are lifted slightly off the supporting wires 21a and rest on the rollers 20. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the rollers 20 are helically grooved to act as conveyers which traverse the loaded plate &c. racks through rubber flaps 26 in one end 1 of the tank 3 and pass them out through an opening in the other end wall 2 of the tank. The tank is divided by a centre plate 30 into two compartments to the left-hand one of which clean water is admitted by a pipe 31 and by an overhead sprinkler 27 so that after being splashed in the right-hand compartment the plates &c. are splashed by cleaner water in the left-hand compartment and when about to leave the tank are rinsed by water from the sprinkler 27 controlled by a valve 28 and lever 29 actuated by the plate &c. rack. Notches 33 in the compartment walls regulate the level of the washing water. For washing silver, cutlery, cups, basins, &c., a wire mesh drum is provided adapted to be supported and rotated by the rollers 20.
