Title: Transmission power control in a radio communication system
Inventor: RAYNE MARK WENTWORTH
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: In a mobile radio communications system, which includes a radio cell served by colocated base stations BS2 and BS3, Each mobile radio unit MS4, MS5, MS6, stores a desired power level limit for the reception of signals at the base stations of the radio system. Each mobile unit also stores a predetermined transmit power level representative of the transmit power level used by the base stations. The path loss from base station to mobile station may be determined from the received power level and the predetermined transmit power level. The mobile radio units use these values along with the desired power level for reception of signals at the base stations to derive a transmit power level for their own transmissions. This avoids transmissions reaching a base station at too high or low a signal level.

Title: Computation time reduction for three dimensional displays
Inventor: PAIN DOUGLAS A
IPC: G02B30/26
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: A reconfigurable, three-dimensional display wherein knowledge of the viewer's eyes is used to enable the effective exit pupil(s) of the display system to be optimised. The system utilises this knowledge to identify contributing regions within the display that contribute light to the viewer. Priority is given to calculating and displaying the part of the display corresponding to the contributing region, thereby allowing the system computation requirements to be minimised. Further computation savings are achievable by recognising that only light travelling in a limited range of angles need be considered.
Patent GB-2355354-A (GB)
Title: Auto-focus method
Inventor: SMITH STEPHEN J
IPC: G02B21/24
Filed: 2000-08-01
Abstract: A 'back-projecting' method for automatically focusing a reflective surface, for example in viewing a specimen on a microscope slide, comprises directing a plurality of (for example, three) illumination beams 64 through beamsplitter 14, and intermediate optics 20 towards the interface between a sample to be viewed and specimen plate 26. Beams 30, reflected at the interface 26, return via the optics to produce (in this example) three corresponding images on the surface of detector 28. An accurate position determination of the substrate surface with respect to the focal plane of the instrument can then be made by analysis of the spatial distribution of the reflected light beams (Figs 5A-C), where relevant parameters may include the maximum reflected value and the full-width at half maximum of the irradiance distributions at a series of axial positions of the interface with respect to the focal point of the lens. A device for implementing the method, and a similar method of auto-focusing using only a single illuminating beam are also disclosed in the specification. The method may also be useful in camera auto-focusing systems.

Title: Controlling fluid flow in an electrohydraulic system
Inventor: ROCKWOOD BRIAN D
IPC: F15B21/08
Filed: 2000-10-05
Abstract: A method and system for controlling fluid flow from a hydraulic fluid supply via a single hydraulic pump (22) in an electrohydraulic system having multiple hydraulic cylinders (12) connected to the hydraulic pump and corresponding work implements (14) and input devices (34) for generating input signals representative of a desired amount of movement of at least two of the work implements. A controller (36), coupled to the input devices and the cylinders, determines a scaling factor for each of the hydraulic circuits (16,18) associated with each of the cylinders for compensating the hydraulic circuit for receiving less than maximum fluid flow from the pump. The controller also determines a desired percentage of fluid flow to each of the hydraulic circuits based on the desired amount of movement of the work implements and the corresponding scaling factors and controls the fluid flow from the fluid supply (28) to each of the hydraulic circuits based on the desired percentages of fluid flow to allow for maximum fluid flow to each of the hydraulic circuits.

IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: A transmit network for cellular mobile radio networks incorporates two transmit multiplexers 122ABE and 122CD: the first transmit multiplexer 122ABE receives output signals from three transmitters 124A, 124B and 124E, and filters them in respective band-pass filters 126A, 126B and 126E; the second transmit multiplexer 122CD receives output signals from two further transmitters 124C and 124D, and filters them in respective band-pass filters 126C and 126D. The transmit frequencies in each multiplexer 122 are non-adjacent, which improves isolation between transmitters provided by the filters 126. Filtered output signals from respective band-pass filters 126 are combined at filter outputs 128X and 128Y from which signals are combined in a combiner 132 providing a degree of isolation between these outputs and enabling the signals to be combined with, minimal distortion. Signals from the combiner 132 are fed via a duplexer to a transmit/receive antenna.

Title: Tape device data recovery method applied during forward and reverse tape positioning cycles
Inventor: ALVA MAURICIO HUERTA
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2001-06-21
Abstract: A method of alternate tape (21) repositioning during data recovery which takes advantage of the reverse half of the tape forward/reverse cycle to perform an error recovery procedure invoking, thereby reducing total data recovery time. In the event that a tape drive (10) fails to read a target data block, the tape (21) continues its linear travel until a forward ramp-up point beyond the target data block is reached. The tape drive (10) changes tape (21) travel direction to a reverse linear travel direction. When the tape heads are on top of the target data block (TDB), a first error recovery procedure invoking is performed in the reverse linear travel direction. If the first error recovery procedure invoking fails to recover data, tape (21) continues its reverse linear travel (R) until a reverse ramp-up point (RP) past the target data block (TDB) is reached. Once again, the tape drive (10) changes tape linear travel direction and a second error recovery procedure invoking is executed in the forward linear travel direction (F). The procedure of advancing tape (21), changing tape travel direction and invoking an error recovery procedure invoking continues until the data (D) at the target data block (TDB) is recovered, or until a pre-selected number of error recovery procedures invoking have been executed.

Title: Inkjet printing system having print heads which utilise at least two different print head technologies
Inventor: WILLIAMS GERALD DAVID JOHN
IPC: B41J3/54
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: The system includes a series of print heads which use at least two different print head technologies (e.g. airbrush, drop-on-demand, or continuous inkjet). At least one 1,3 is chosen (e.g. drop-on-demand or continuous) for its suitability for creating high resolution images and another 5,7 (e.g. airbrush) is chosen for its ability to lay down heavy coating weights at high speed. The different print head technologies are available for printing on the same substrate. Software programming determines which of the different technologies is most suitable for laying down elements of the image to be created, and a control system controls when the different technologies operate to create the desired image. The arrangement may be used for decorating metal coil or sheet. Alternatively, the decoration may be achieved by a transfer process rather than a direct printing process.
