Title: Syphon assembly for flushing cistern
Inventor: JONES DENNIS GRAHAM
IPC: E03D1/14
Filed: 1997-08-28
Abstract: Syphon assembly has conventional U-shaped duct with up leg 10 carrying an open-bottomed syphon chamber 14 and down leg 12 leading from the associated cistern, with a known piston assembly 18 operated by a vertical pull rod 20 being operable to initiate syphonic discharge. Air break passages 32 in the top of chamber 14 and partly surrounding rod 20 are sealed when the piston is at its lowermost position by a seal washer 40 carried on the rod. The arrangement provides a dual volume flush facility, if the piston is dropped immediately a maximum volume flush is provided, this being the default condition, whereas if the piston is deliberately held raised the syphonic action will cease after discharge of a lower volume as soon as the water level drops to that of the passages 32 as air will then enter the chamber to break the syphon.
Patent GB-2329784-A (GB)
Title: Encoding a motion vector
Inventor: LEE SANG-HOON
IPC: H04N19/91
Filed: 1997-10-29
Abstract: A current motion vector CMV of a search block is encoded based on a plurality of reference motion vectors RMV's. First and a second candidate predictors FCP and SCP having first and second components are determined. The FCP L20 represents medians of the first and the second components of the RMV's, while the SCP L25 represents RMV components which yield least absolute differences with respect to first and second components of the CMV, respectively. A dispersion value of the RMV's is compared with a predetermined threshold to thereby generate a first selection signal L30. A third candidate predictor TCP L40 having first and second components is determined based on the number of encoded bits generated by encoding each of the components of the CMV with respect to each of the FCP and the SCP, wherein each component of the TCP is the component of one of the FCP and the SCP. The CMV is encoded based on the FCP L20 and the TCP L40.

Title: Method of altering a neighbour cell list in a cellular communication system
Inventor: GALLAGHER MARK
IPC: H04W24/08
Filed: 1997-11-26
Abstract: Each cell of a cellular communication system has a neighbour list containing the identities of neighbouring cells suitable for handover. Mobile stations in a serving cell scan to detect the identities and signal strengths of other cells. The detected cells are ranked according to signal strength and the six highest ranking cells are reported to the serving cell base station. If a particular cell is ranked highest or lowest in more than a predetermined portion of reports then it is added to or deleted from the neighbour list. Alternatively a number of signal strength measurements pertaining to a particular cell are compared with the signal strength of the serving cell. If none of these signal strengths satisfy a handover criterion (i.e. greater than the serving cell signal strength by a predetermined handover margin) then that cell is deleted from the neighbour list. Conversely if a predetermined portion of measurements satisfy the handover criteria then a cell not on the neighbour list is added to the list. An additional signal quality metric can be used as an extra criterion for adding or deleting cells from the neighbour list.

Title: Detecting motion vectors by classifying search blocks according to patterns
Inventor: PARK SUNG-JOO
IPC: H04N19/51
Filed: 1998-06-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting motion vectors between a current and a previous frame in a video signal derives wavelet representations of the current and previous frames to thereby generate M layers and stores a current and previous subimage of a lowest frequency band for each layer, wherein each layer has a corresponding resolution and M is a positive integer. Then, a current subimage of a lowest frequency band in an Mth layer having a resolution of a lowest level is motion estimated with respect to a corresponding previous subimage by classifying search blocks in the current subimage and candidate blocks in the previous subimage into predetermined patterns and with these generating motion vectors for the current subimage of the lowest frequency band in the Mth layer. candidate blocks are selected in an (M-i)th layer by using motion vectors for the current subimage of the lowest frequency band in the (M-i+1)st layer, wherein i is an integer ranging from 1 to M-1. The patterns, 720, 750, indicate the comparative values of the pixels within each block.

Title: Microwave receiver
Inventor: KUMAR BALBIR
IPC: G01N22/00
Filed: 1998-11-12
Abstract: A microwave receiving antenna system (30) is used to determine an originating direction of microwave radiation. The system has a birefringent phase plate (34) which splits radiation incident on it into two components which undergo a differential phase delay as they pass through it. The amount of differential phase delay induced varies with angular position around the phase plate (34) from 0 at an angular position of 0{ to   g   at an angular position of 360{. By determining the differential phase delay (assuming a previously existing relationship) the originating direction of the radiation can be determined. The phase plate may have a physical thickness which varies angularly about the phase plate.
