Title: Method for saving battery power in a radio communication system
Inventor: CARMON RAFY
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 2000-08-09
Abstract: A communications system (10) is characterised by a transmitter in a first communications unit (22-32) which transmits a signal (18, 19, 20) containing a message indicator (210-220); a receiver (148) in a second wireless communications unit (12, 14, 16) receives the transmitted signal and interprets the message indicator prior to demodulating or decoding the signal to determine whether a remainder of the signal is to be received and/or demodulated and/or decoded. By providing an early indication of the subsequent content of a received message a considerable amount of current drain can be saved by switching off the receiver circuitry.

Inventor: SHIRAYANAGI MORIYASU
IPC: B24B9/14
Filed: 2001-10-17
Abstract: A single-vision aspherical spectacle lens to correct eyesight has front (17) and back (18) surfaces, one of which is an aspherical surface. A framing reference point (19) that is coincident with a pupil position of a user when the lens is installed on a frame is decentered from a geometrical centre (20) of an uncut circular lens (1, 1'') (a semifinished lens blank or an uncut finished lens). Further, the symmetric axis (Z) of the aspherical surface (18) passes the framing reference point. With this construction, a lens blank of small-size can be employed for manufacturing a spectacle lens for a large-size frame. The aspherical surface of the lens is cut or ground by using an NC machine and the semifinished lens blank (Fig 3, 1'') is attached preferably by means of blocking jig (Fig 3, 24) that the front surface is not inclined with restect to the machine coordinate of the NC machine tool.

Patent GB-2383054-A (GB)
Title: Deflocculating means
Inventor: LONGBOTTOM ROBERT
IPC: D21F1/00
Filed: 2001-12-14
Abstract: A deflocculating means for use in a paper making machine comprises a support member 1 such as a forming board or a foil blade for location beneath a forming fabric belt. The support member 1 has an upper surface 2 defining at least one groove 4 that runs in a cross-machine direction, the groove 4 being provided with retention means for holding an insert (8, Fig.2) in a sliding engagement in the groove 4 to induce micro-turbulence in pulp stock being carried by the forming fabric belt. The groove 4 has a longitudinal axis which is angled at between 0.38{ and 0.77{ to a transverse axis in the cross-machine direction. In this way a pressure pulse commences in the pulp stock from a single source at one side of the forming fabric as it passes over the leading edge of the insert and then travels across the fabric along the line of the insert as a single wave. This produces a more controlled agitation and deflocculation of the pulp stock.

Title: CDMA receivers with subtractive suppression of interpath interference (IPI) and multiple access interference (MAI)
Inventor: FITTON MICHAEL PHILIP
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: Spread spectrum receivers for reducing interference are described, particularly the interference observed at a user-end terminal in a W-CDMA 3G mobile communications system. Interpath interference which arises due to non-zero cross and auto correlation of more than one spreading code is suppressed by estimating a transmitted signal stream for a number of CDMA channels and/or multipaths, respreading this estimated signal and subtracting non-orthogonal interference contributions from a received signal before despreading a desired signal. Alternatively the estimated signal streams can be multiplied by the cross correlation between their spreading code and the desired signal spreading code and subtracted from an already despread symbol. The techniques provide an improved bit error rate or equivalently, enhanced capacity for a digital mobile communications network, and is particularly useful for cancelling pilot interference. Usable in space time transmit diversity (STTD) systems.
