Title: Optimized transmission scheme for radar using mutually orthogonal complementary codes
Inventor: MOUNIR ACHIR
IPC: G01S7/292
Filed: 2017-11-27
Abstract: A method comprises transmitting radar pulses encoded with mutually orthogonal complementary sets of code, each set comprising at least a first and second code. Pulses encoded with the first codes are transmitted in a first timeslot and pulses encoded with the second codes are transmitted in a second timeslot. The method further comprises receiving the first and second echoes of the pulses and determining and applying a filter to obtain the separate signals by cross-correlating the received echoes. The filter may be determined specifically by calculating the cross correlations of the first code with the first echo and the second code with the second echo. The calculated cross-correlations corresponding to a same set of codes are summed to obtain respective summed correlation signals. The summed correlation signals may then themselves be summed to obtain the desired filter. An angle-of-arrival algorithm may be applied to the obtained separated signals.

Title: A Method For Controlling An Electric Motor
Inventor: LIBO ZHENG
IPC: H02P6/24
Filed: 2016-04-26
Abstract: An electric motor controller checks whether a flag has been set in memory, the flag being an indication that the motor has stopped. If the flag has been set the motor controller is allowed to commence a motor start up routine substantially immediately, or if the flag has not been set, the motor controller is delayed from commencing a motor start up routine for a predetermined delay period. If the flag has not been set a braking routine may be enabled during the predetermined delay period, where the braking routine may comprise freewheel braking. The predetermined delay period may correspond to a minimum time period required for the rotor to come to a complete stop after the motor has been switched off. The motor may have been shut down by starting a timer, performing regenerative braking to capture kinetic energy and using this to power the motor controller, and setting a flag to indicate that the motor has stopped if the timer exceeds a predetermined value.

Title: Characterisation method and apparatus
Inventor: RICHARD FU
IPC: G01N29/02
Filed: 2018-09-12
Abstract: Electrical resonator device 101 comprises interdigitated transducer (IDT) 102 coupled with the medium (e.g. a fluid). The device is stimulated with electromagnetic (EM) energy, establishing a circulating current, at a frequency dependent on capacitance of the IDT, within the device. The frequency is detected and used to characterise the medium (e.g. fluidic loading). The EM energy may be emitted by an antenna – perhaps a loop antenna, perhaps encircling the device – proximate to the device. The frequency may be detected from a change in absorption of EM energy by the device, perhaps by measuring attenuation of the EM energy using a second proximate antenna. The device may be a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device, having electrodes coupled to the two sets of fingers of the IDT and separated by a gap. The SAW device may actuate the medium. Multiple such devices may detect multiple frequencies in multiple media.
