Patent BR-9915340-A (BR)
Inventor: SVINGEN BORGE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1999-11-12
Abstract: A non-numeric coprocessor for fuzzy information retrieval and pattern recognition has means for information processing and is connectable to a host computer and a data source. A plurality of internal processing elements are organized in a number of simultaneously operable window modules (W0, W1, . . . ) a arranged for inspecting data streams from said source. The processing elements compare data stream bytes with predetermined upper and lower bounds, to decide whether a byte is within said bounds, and, if so, to produce a hit signal. Each window module has a window match logic for correlating hit signals from its different processing elements, and to produce a window match signal, by the occurrence of a predefined match. By structuring the coprocessor in this manner, a parallel processing potential is attained, which can be utilized by data routing means (12) to allow for separate data streams to be routed to individual or chained window modules selectably configured as groups of windows or super-windows according to application needs.

Patent GB-2353161-A (GB)
Title: Method of processing direction-finding systems
Inventor: BENZ ARNULF-PETER
IPC: G01S5/04
Filed: 2000-06-02
Abstract: A wideband multichannel direction-finder uses the signal values measured by the multichannel direction finder and comparison using a pattern comparison procedure and a regulating mechanism. The azimuth angles of the received signals are evaluated, similar signals being combined into regions which belong together in a time-frequency plane. The combined regions are then processed together with associated data, which includes time-frequency plane coordinates, mean signal levels, mean azimuth angles, background noise levels and possibly signal duration. Following filtering of the signals to eliminate those of low amplitude, the remaining data cells in the time-frequency space are combined into a 'footprint', which is compared to other data cell footprints from other direction-finders to provide a more efficient method of correlating direction-finder data in order to locate a remote transmitter position.

Patent GB-2367511-A (GB)
Title: Multiple cyclone separation unit
Inventor: NORTH JOHN HERBERT
IPC: B01D45/16
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: A multistage air-particle separator comprises at least two separation stages in (18, fig 1) 114 which particle-laden air is drawn through a succession of chambers in turn by suction applied to the last of the chambers. Heavier than air particles are separated from the airstream in each chamber by centrifugal force, and conveyed to a collecting bin (26 or 66, fig 1) and particle depleted air is drawn from each chamber by suction. An intermediate separation stage comprises a cylindrical chamber, having a port (48, fig 10) through which air from an earlier stage enters the chamber. The port is arranged so that air entering the chamber does so generally tangentially, and a hollow spindle 90 extends centrally of the chamber and communicates with an opening in a closed end wall of the chamber, leading to the next separation chamber. A turbine 94, 96 is mounted for rotation about the chamber axis and is generally aligned with the port through which air enters the chamber, the incoming air causing the turbine to rotate. At least one opening 62 is provided at or near the end of the hollow spindle through which air can leave the chamber to pass therealong into the next separation stage, and a particle collecting bin (66, fig 1) is provided at the end of the chamber remote from the turbine. The hollow spindle may be stationary and the turbine rotates therearound, or the turbine is attached to the spindle so that the two rotate together. Small openings may be provided in the spindle wall around one end thereof, in which event the turbine is mounted at a position axially distant from the openings. The turbine containing region of the chamber may be separated from the region of the chamber which communicates with the interior of the hollow spindle, by means of an annular baffle 88 containing at least one opening therein through which air can pass from the one region to the other. The rotating spindle imparts rotation to the air passing into the next chamber. In this last chamber the air enters axially and is deflected on entry. A first exit port 118 removes clean air to the suction source 10. A second port 112 may be provided in the wall of the chamber circumferentially spaced from the first port, to allow particles separated in the final stage to be returned via a passage for separation in the rotating airstream in the intermediate chamber. Collecting bin (26, fig 1) is separated from the cyclone chamber (18, fig 1) by a baffle (56, fig 1) to prevent the re-entrainment of particles. Collecting bin (66, fig 1) may be replace by a valve (see fig 4) which is constructed such that downstream suction forces maintain it in a closed position during operation of the unit, but allows the valve to open when no suction is present. On openiong of the valve the collected particles are able to fall into the collecting bin (26, fig 1).
