Title: Detecting and correcting I/Q crosstalk in complex quadrature-modulated signals
Filed: 2005-12-23
Abstract: A crosstalk canceller reduces I/Q crosstalk in a complex signal. A complex signal containing in-phase I and quadrature-phase Q components is received at an input (12), and a circuit (20) forms its complex conjugate. The complex conjugate signal is in general delayed in a delay line (22) to provide one or more complex conjugate signals with different delays. These signals are then weighted in multipliers (24) in accordance with respective weighting factors. The thus-weighted signals are combined with each other and with the input signal or a signal derived therefrom in combining circuits (26,16) in the sense such as to reduce I/Q crosstalk. The weighting factors are generated by providing the input signal or a signal derived therefrom as a first signal, and providing the input signal and/or a signal or signals derived therefrom as one or more second signals. Where there are plural second signals they have different delays corresponding to the delays of the complex conjugate signals. Non-conjugate correlators (36) generate the complex non-conjugate correlation of the first signal and the or each of the second signals to provide one or more complex correlation signals. An accumulator (40) accumulates each of the complex correlation signals, and they are multiplied by a convergence factor in a multiplier (38), to provide a weighting factor for a respective first signal.

By including the stiffening element, it has been found that the first break-up resonance of the membrane is shifted to a higher frequency and has reduced amplitude. As a consequence, the loudspeaker according to this aspect has a more balanced frequency response, particularly at mid and high frequency ranges.

Patent GB-8619442-D0 (GB)
Title: Photolithographic masks
IPC: G03F1/00
Filed: 1986-08-08
Abstract: A photolithographic mask is made by a computer generated two-dimensional array of light and dark pixels being photoreduced to provide the mask in which the pixels remain resolved. In use the mask is imaged on to a workpiece such that individual pixels are not resolved, thus providing a varying grey scale which closely approximates to a true grey scale. Problems with non-linear response of photographic materials to illumination intensity are avoided. The pixel array is divided up into resolution cells or pixel sub-arrays each providing a respective optical transmission coefficient. The computer assigns each cell a respective pixel pattern appropriate to the respective transmission coefficient. Pixel patterns may be prearranged and stored or computed using a random number generator. Transmission coefficients may be input to the computer as data, or alternatively computed from a mathematical function where the required mask transmission profile corresponds to such a function.

Title: Surveying of boreholes
IPC: G01V3/26
Filed: 1989-05-30
Abstract: A method of deriving the true magnitude of the terrestial magnetic field in the direction of the longitudinal axis of a borehole at a region of the borehole occupied by an instrumentation package equipped with magnetic vector measuring means for measuring the lateral magnetic vectors Bx and By and further equipped with gravitational vector measuring means for measuring each of the three gravitational vectors Gx, Gy, and GZ. The method comprises the steps of performing said measurements of the magnetic vectors and the gravitational vectors and from said vector measurements solving the equation:-  Bze = (BVe.Ge - Bx.Gx - By.Gy) / Gz where BVe is the vertical component of the terrestial magnetic field at the location of the borehole, and Ge is the terrestial gravity field. The terrestial gravity field Ge may be derived as the square root of the sum of the individual squares of the individual gravity vectors Gx, Gy and Gz, according to the equation:-  Ge = (Gx<2> + Gy<2> + Gz<2>) <1/2 > . The invention is based on the assumption that the vector measurements, and in particular the lateral magnetic vectors, are substantially uncorrupted by the drillstring or the bottom-hole assembly.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB95/00045 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 31, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 31, 1995 PCT Filed Jan. 11, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/19290 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 20, 1995An aerodynamic low drag structure (12) has a skin (18, 19, 20) which in movement of the structure (12) relative to a surrounding gaseous fluid medium produces at a flow control region of the skin (18) laminar flow in a boundary layer adjacent the skin. To improve boundary layer control, gaseous fluid is withdrawn from the boundary layer at the flow control region into a first inlet opening (21, 22, 23) in the skin (18) and is conveyed along a first fluid flow path (241, 242) within the structure (12) for discharge at a discharge opening (28) downstream of the first inlet opening (21, 22, 23). Gaseous fluid is withdrawn at a second inlet opening (26) in the skin (20) at a region of the skin subjected to gaseous fluid at ramming pressure and conveyed along a second fluid flow path (27, 242) within the structure to the discharge opening (28) or a further discharge opening. Fluid under ramming pressure in the second fluid flow path (27, 242) causes the fluid in the first fluid flow path (241, 242) to be impelled along the first fluid flow path thereby causing fluid to be withdrawn from the boundary layer and to be discharged from the discharge opening (28).
