Title: Power saving in a thermal sensor
Inventor: COX CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2007-06-21
Abstract: An integrated circuit, such as a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) device, includes an on-die thermal sensor, a storage element such as register, and toggle logic.

Title: Acoustic transmitter with multiple piezoelectric tube elements for increased bandwidth
Inventor: FALKENBERG JON
IPC: B06B1/06
Filed: 2006-08-07
Abstract: A transmitter includes a first piezoelectric tube element 32 positioned within the skin 23 of a marine seismic streamer. Additional piezoelectric tube elements 31,33, of approximately the same diameter, are positioned either side of the first element and along a common longitudinal axis. The additional elements have a common speed of sound which is different to that of the first element (e.g. by about 10%). This results in the additional elements having a resonance frequency which is different from that of the first element. This design can provide a transmitter with a combined bandwidth wider than the bandwidth of a single tube element. Further pairs of piezoelectric elements may be added, one on each side of the existing elements, to further increase the bandwidth. A protective tube, perforated with slots and holes, can be used to protect the piezoelectric elements. The transmitter may be used in a system and method for determining positions of towed marine seismic streamers. Also disclosed is a hydrophone receiver suitable for use in such a method.

Title: Method of muscle release during carcass processing
Inventor: MCDONNELL DECLAN ARTHUR
IPC: A22B5/00
Filed: 2007-12-19
Abstract: A method of carcass processing, such as a beef forequarter, comprises the step, prior to onset of rigor mortis, of releasing constraint on a number of muscles 2 to 8 by severing most of the contact of a muscle with surrounding tissue, so that the muscles are free to contract. This has the effect of upgrading the end use of the muscle from ground beef to cubed beef. The method may also include trimming of fat from the muscle and severing some of the connections between the muscle and surrounding tissue and bone. The muscles are free to contract for a period of at least 6 hours and preferably 24 to 96 hours before they are removed from the carcass. Also disclosed is a muscle removed using the method.

Title: MIMO channel estimation and correction using CPE tones
Inventor: BENZAIR KASSEM
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2008-02-25
Abstract: In a multiple antenna (MIMO) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) AvidoTM receiver, amplitude and phase errors in Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) constellations (figs. 1-6) are estimated for data channels without pilot data in training slots by inserting Common Phase Error (CPE) tones, and the Common Amplitude and Phase Error (CAPE) removed from the signal. For a received, equalized signal Y(n), the corrected data is given by X^(n) = Y(n)  Ò  ERCPE, where ERCPE is related to the real and imaginary parts of the received tones yCPE(k). The system can operate in Transmit Diversity (fig. 7) and Spatial Multiplexing (fig. 8) modes.

Abstract: A downhole apparatus for diverting fluid flow out of a work string comprising a top sub 10 connected to a piston housing 20 and an upper piston 70, a middle piston 80 and a lower piston 90 are positioned within the housing as is a locating sleeve 110 which has a j-track 115. A locating pin 45 connected to the piston housing is located within the j-track. A spring housing 40 containing spring 55 is connected to a lower end of the piston housing. A ported housing 50, having a plurality of ports 130 is connected to the lower end of the spring housing and a lower sub 60 is connected to a lower end of the ported housing. A flow tube 100 having a restriction 105 is located within the central bores of the ported, spring and piston housings and is connected to the locating sleeve. Fluid flow through the restriction creates an increase in fluid pressure causing the movement of the pistons. The pistons move the flow tube between various locations within the apparatus. In one location, the flow tube prevents fluid flow to the annulus while in another location the flow tube allows fluid flow to be diverted into the annulus. The locating sleeve and j-track allow the flow tube to be selectively retained at the various locations within the apparatus with fluid flow through the apparatus being used to cycle the apparatus between diverting fluid flow to the annulus and forcing fluid flow down the work string.

Title: A light emitting diode lamp with reflective optical diffuser
Inventor: ALLARD JOHN STEPHEN
IPC: F21K99/00
Filed: 2009-01-05
Abstract: An electric lamp comprises a light emitting diode, LED, unit 18 for producing a divergent beam of light and a curved optical diffuser 20 arranged so that light from the LED unit is projected against an inner surface of the curved diffuser. A significant proportion of light which is incident on the diffuser's inner surface is transmitted through the diffuser to the outside and a significant proportion of light which is incident on its inner surface is reflected within the curved diffuser. A reflective surface 80 is arranged so that at least some of the light which is reflected by the inner surface of the curved diffuser and which impinges upon the reflective surface is reflected back to the inner surface of the curved diffuser. As a result of the partial reflections at the diffuser and the reflections at the reflective surface, light impinges on the inner surface of the diffuser from different directions in addition to the direction directly from the LED unit, and proportion of that light is transmitted to the outside. Accordingly, the lamp can readily be arranged so that its view half-angle as a whole is greater than the view half-angle of the bare LED unit and so that its apparent source area is greater than the bare LED unit, without any excessive hot-spots.
