Title: Dynamic matrix control of steam temperature preventing saturated steam entering a superheater
Inventor: BEVERIDGE ROBERT ALLEN
IPC: F22B35/18
Filed: 2011-08-09
Abstract: A technique of controlling a steam generating boiler system preventing saturated steam from entering a superheater section uses a rate of change of a disturbance variable 210 and modifies the control signal based on a saturated steam temperature and an intermediate steam temperature (126A, fig 1). The controller 222 can be of the dynamic matrix type. A current output steam temperature 202 and an output steam setpoint 203 can also be used to generate a control signal. In some embodiments, the control signal is modified based on a threshold and/or an adjustable function g(x), and can have a fuzzifier. The modified control signal is used to control a field device (e.g. valve 122, fig 1) that affects the intermediate steam and output steam of the boiler system. A prevention block (e.g. 282, fig 5D) can be included in a dynamic matrix control block.

Title: Minimizing the latency of a scrambled memory access by sending a memory access operation to the encryption engine and the memory controller in parallel
Inventor: URZI IGNAZIO ANTONINO
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 2011-09-06
Abstract: A data processing system has a security engine, such as a data scrambler, which processes data transferred to and from a memory. Memory operations are passed to the engine and the memory controller in parallel. The time the operation is passed to the memory controller may be controlled, such that the delay in the engine is less than or equal to the delay in the memory controller. The system may adjust the time based on delay information from the memory controller and the engine. This information may be the latency. The information may be determined from the time between a memory operation being received and the engine being ready to process the data.

Title: Beverage dispensing apparatus
Inventor: BURGE PAUL ANDREW
IPC: B67D1/04
Filed: 2010-07-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a refillable keg assembly for use in dispensing beverages, in particular beer. The keg assembly comprises an outer shell, and a collapsible container for holding the beverage, positionable within the outer shell. A sealed cavity is defined between the outer shell and the collapsible container. A beverage outlet from the collapsible container enables beer to be dispensed from the keg assembly, and a gas valve allows gas to enter the cavity. The pressure in the container is maintained above atmospheric pressure, and when dispensing the beverage, pressure in the cavity collapses the collapsible container and forces the beverage out through the beverage outlet. A gas compressor is connected to the gas valve, and is activated by a pressure switch to maintain the pressure within the cavity. To refill the keg assembly, the collapsible container can be replaced, and a new collapsible container filled whilst within the outer shell.

Title: Calculation of equaliser coefficients using a matched filter
Inventor: YAMAGATA TAKU
IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 2013-03-27
Abstract: In a first stage of an equaliser, a channel matched filter is generated (206) based on an estimate of channel impulse response (CIR, 208) and then used to filter the CIR estimate. In a second stage, initial FFE coefficients (202) are calculated (212) from a real part (214) of the match filtered CIR and then these initial FFE coefficients and the estimate of CIR may be used to generate initial DFE coefficients (204). The initial coefficients are calculated by converting the real part of the filtered CIR to the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and an inversion step (fig. 4, not shown). In various embodiments, a window is applied to the CIR estimate before the matched filter is generated to eliminate impulse responses falling outside the equaliser range. In various embodiments, the second stage is iterated to minimise pre-echoes following the FFE.

Title: A method for confidence level determination of ambulatory HR algorithm based on a three-way rhythm classifier
Inventor: HERNANDEZ-SILVEIRA MIGUEL
IPC: A61B5/0402
Filed: 2014-05-13
Abstract: A method of determining a confidence level in a heart rate obtained from an ECG signal of a patent comprises determining a heart rate from a segment of an ECG signal, the segment having a pre-determined length, and determining a first confidence level in the determined heart rate. If the first confidence level exceeds a predetermined value, the heart rate is output. Otherwise, the method further comprises determining a set of features from the segment of the ECG signal; and classifying the segment of the ECG signal, based on one or more features selected from the determined set of features and the heart rate, into one of at least three classes: noise, an abnormal sinus rhythm and a normal sinus rhythm. The present invention makes it possible to discriminate between an abnormal rhythm and noise as well as between a normal rhythm, whereas conventional methods can only discriminate between noise and a normal heart rhythm. The invention thus makes it possible to process the abnormal heart rate value resulting from an aperiodic heart rhythm such as Atrial Fibrillation and trigger a notification/alert during its onset.
