Title: Lift-reducing apparatus for aircraft wings
Inventor: ROLSTON STEPHEN
IPC: B64C9/08
Filed: 2013-03-26
Abstract: An aircraft wing 1 has in the rear part of its lower surface, but forward of the trailing edge, a spoiler device such as a deployable spoiler 20 operable to change between a configuration in which the surface is uninterrupted and one in which the device separates flow, so as to reduce local lift. This reduces load on the wing during extreme conditions, such as in turbulence or when executing manoeuvres. An actuator 26 can be provided for deploying the spoiler, and an upper spoiler 40 can also be present, operated by the same or a separate actuator. Alternatively the spoiler device can include a flexible or deforming material 120 operable to protrude from the wing surface which is deformed under the action of an actuator 126. The spoiler may also comprise an arrangement of high pressure fluid injected into the airstream (fig 8).

Inventor: POOLE GORDON
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2013-04-19
Abstract: Deghosting seismic data related to a subsurface of a body of water. The method includes receiving input seismic data recorded by seismic receivers that located at different depths, generating migration data 420a and mirror migration data 420a from the input seismic data, deriving a ghost free model 440 based on simultaneously using the migration data (du) and mirror migration data, and generating a final image of the subsurface using the deghosted data set. The method may also include generating primary and ghost datasets based on the ghost free model, simultaneously adaptively subtracting 460 the primary and ghost datasets from the migration data to provide adapted primary and adapted residual datasets based on the adapted primary and the adapted residual datasets. A final image may be derived from these datasets. Another aspect relates to a method of processing data which involves deriving first and second ghost lag models corresponding to the migration and mirror migration data respectively.

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting cross correlation based in limited range code phase offset observations
Inventor: LENNEN GARY
IPC: G01S19/21
Filed: 2011-06-15
Abstract: Apparatus and a method identify and eliminate false satellite signals that are cross correlation signals without prior knowledge of any possibly interfering strong satellite signals. The disclosed method analyzes a small number of code phase offsets relative to a threshold value based on the detected peak of a weak satellite signal to determine if the weak satellite signal is not a true satellite autocorrelation signal but a cross-correlation signal. The number of code phase offsets and the threshold value may be determined based on the signal-to-noise ratio of the detected weak satellite signal.
