Title: Establishing a redundancy context in a process control system
Inventor: NIXON MARK J
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2003-12-31
Abstract: A system for establishing a redundancy context in a process control system includes first and second application stations 16, 18. A configuration of the first application station 16 is downloaded to the second application station 18, and a determination of the quality of service provided by the first application 16 is made. Information relating to a set of resources used by the first application station 16 is sent to the second application station 18, and a determination that the second application station 18 has access to the set of resources used by the first application station 16 is made. A redundancy context is then established in the process control system in response to a determination that the second application station 18 does have access to the set of resources used by the first application station 16. Downloading the first application station 16 configuration may involve conveying information via a process control network. Determining the quality of service may involve evaluating one of a maximum permissible data latency parameter and a maximum permissible loss of control time parameter, or determining a processor class and an amount of available memory.

Title: Electronic System for Determining the Time of a Response from a Plurality of Users
Inventor: KRISMAN PAUL
IPC: G06F1/14
Filed: 2007-08-10
Abstract: An electronic system for collecting the responses of users, which can be used at live events or in interactive television, has a central controller and several user interface devices. The central controller can transmit a message to the user devices to make them switch off or enter a power saving mode. The central controller periodically transmits a master timing reference signal. In addition, a local time is maintained by the user device or by a local controller. The time of a user input is calculated using the master timing reference signal and the local time. This may be the difference between the master signal and the local time. The time of a second input at a second user device may be calculated as the sum of the calculated time of the first input and the local time of the second input.

Title: Combining MRC and MMSE equalisation techniques for MIMO-OFDM system
Inventor: BENZAIR KASSEM
IPC: H04B7/04
Filed: 2008-02-08
Abstract: The proposed system is based on Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) with two transmit and three receive antennas and uses two diversity modes. The Transmit Diversity mode consists of transmitting the same signal stream on both transmit antennas with a phase delay factor and provides a robust radio link against fading and frequency selective channels and increases the communication range. The Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) equalization technique used in this mode gives very good results in terms of calculation complexity and performance. The Spatial Multiplexing mode consists of transmitting two different signal streams in each transmit antenna and provides a high throughput for a given bandwidth compared with normal communication systems using single input and single output antennas. The Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalization technique used in this mode gives very good results in term of calculation complexity reduction and throughput performance.
