Title: Wireless Communication System and Apparatus and Methods and Protocols for use therein.
Inventor: SALKINTZIS APOSTOLIS
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 2005-03-01
Abstract: A wireless communication system (100, 200, 300) comprises a wireless local area network (WLAN) operably coupled to a cell-based radio communication system (160). The wireless local area network (WLAN) is adapted to support use of a control channel (360) for communication to or from the cell-based radio communication system (160). Preferably, a dual-mode wireless communication unit (112, 116) is configured as capable of communication with both the wireless local area network (WLAN) and the cell-based radio communication system (160), such that the a specific Multicast address (MCCH-mcast) and a Port Number (MCCH-port) are used on the control channel (360) for control channel communication by the dual-mode wireless communication unit (112, 116). In this manner, control channel communication is supported over a WLAN, thereby providing a wide range of new additional capabilities and benefits to end users of WLAN compatible units.

Title: Pneumatic tool inlet valve
Inventor: LIAO CHI-SHEN
IPC: F16K31/60
Filed: 2005-06-24
Abstract: A pneumatic tool 10 with inlet valve, the tool 10 defines a space 12 and a passageway 121 in communication with the space. The inlet valve includes a housing (20, Fig 2) and a plunger (50, Fig 2). The housing is movable in the space between a first position (shown in Fig 3) where it blocks the space from the passageway, and a second position (shown in Fig 4) where it allows communication between the space and the passageway. The housing defines an inlet (32, Fig 2) and an outlet (441, Fig 2). The plunger is inserted through the outlet and movable in the pneumatic tool between a first position as shown in Fig 1, a second position as shown in Fig 3 and a third position as shown in Fig 4. An end of the plunger is located in the housing to push the housing from inside towards the second position of the housing, when the plunger occupies its third position.

The targets 551a, 551c may be altitudes, with the second target 551c being a cruise altitude. A third target 551b may also be received which may be an altitude constraint. The targets 551a, 551b, 551c may be displayed in an intuitive (possibly numeric) order and the target to which the aircraft is currently being controlled may be displayed in a different colour, font, or line thickness to the other target(s).
Patent GB-2431634-A (GB)
Title: Device to prevent incorrect fuelling of a vehicle
Inventor: HOLDAWAY RHYS
IPC: B60K15/04
Filed: 2005-10-25
Abstract: A Filler Interlock prevents incorrect fuelling of diesel cars with petrol. To disengage this device the refuelling nozzle would have to engage with two strikers on opposite sides of the filler aperture simultaneously to unlock access bars. Unlocking just one access bar, as would be possible with a petrol nozzle, would not allow the nozzle to be inserted therefore preventing people putting petrol fuel into a diesel engine. A diesel nozzle is wider in diameter than a petrol nozzle, a petrol nozzle would not engage the strikers correctly to open the access bars. A self sealing baffle may also be provided, and the strikers may be spring loaded to ensure the device relocks automatically on removal of the nozzle.

Title: System and method for mitigating memory requirements during MPE-FEC processing
Inventor: JASHEK RONEN
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2006-02-12
Abstract: A receiver is provided, which is adapted to receive MPE-FEC frames and to correct erroneous sections within a received MPE-FEC frame by detecting unreliable sections and storing in an erasure list ("ESL") table compressed data that includes the base address of each detected erroneous section, together with the respective section's size. The size of the ESL table may be fixed, or it may correlate, or dynamically change according to the actual number of detected erroneous sections. The data stored in the erasure list may then be forwarded to a decoder to correct erroneous sections. The erroneous sections may be detected by using CRC, and the decoder may be a Reed-Solomon decoder. If the application data table of the MPE-FEC is error-free (or full or errors), in which case the erasure structure list is empty (or full of errors), in which case the ensure structure list is empty (or full), this means that no FEC reception and error corrections are required, because there are no sections to correct in the first case and the decoder is incapable of correcting too many sections in the second case. Therefore, the receiving circuitry, or at least the decoder, may be disabled to save battery power.
