Title: Locating a talker
Inventor: AMIRI MAZIAR
IPC: G10L25/78
Filed: 2000-06-30
Abstract: To locate a talker in a noisy or reverberant environment, multiple audio signals are received by a microphone array having a predetermined beampattern, the audio signals (100) are filtered by a spectral conditioner (110) to optimise the beampattern, a estimator (130) calculates localization estimates from the filtered signals, an activity detector (120) detects periods of speech activity, and decision logic (140) verifies and accepts localization estimates only during periods of speech activity. A succession of verified localization estimates are stored and their occurrences are counted during a predetermined sampling window. If the number of stored occurrences exceeds a threshold eg 12 in 32 estimates, the current location estimate is updated. A circular microphone array, a bandpass filter and a steered device (150) such as a beamformer or an image tracking algorithm may be used.

Title: Position determination
Inventor: SLADEN PETER
IPC: G01C21/12
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: Dead reckoning is used to solve a location problem when a user is out of range of GPS coverage. A starting position (x1, y1) is determined by tracking movements from a first position where GPS coverage is not available to a second position (u) where GPS coverage is available. The starting position is then determined by backtracking from this known position. The positional information may be stored at the receiver and later recalled to define the first position relative to a known third position, enabling guidance back to the first position.

Title: Pre-metered dose magazine for breath-actuated dry powder inhaler
Inventor: KEANE LAWRENCE
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2001-06-25
Abstract: A pre-metered dose assembly for supply of precise doses of medicament for a breath-actuated dry powder inhaler comprises a cap 14 defining a delivery passageway 16 for providing air to a dry powder supply port of a swirl chamber of an inhaler, and a magazine 18 with a plurality of reservoirs 20 for holding pre-metered doses of dry powder. Either the cap 14 or magazine 18 are movable relative to the other for sequentially positioning the reservoirs 20 within the delivery passageway 16 of the cap 14. A breath-induced low pressure at the outlet port of the swirl chamber of the inhaler causes an air flow though the delivery passageway 16 and into the supply port of the swirl chamber that entrains dry powder from the reservoir 20 positioned in the passageway 16 for inhalation by a patient using the inhaler. Also disclosed is a breath-actuated dry powder inhaler including the pre-metered dose assembly in combination with a de-agglomerator.

Title: Vehicle having a removable rigid roof with removable pivotable hinged sections
Inventor: GWINNUT NICHOLAS
IPC: B60J7/11
Filed: 2001-10-16
Abstract: A vehicle (10) having a removable rigid roof (20) which can be attached by releasable attachment means above and covering a cabin of the vehicle 10. The removable rigid roof (20) is provided with a pair of hinged sections (40) each hingedly connected to the remainder of the removable rigid roof (20). Each hinged section (40) can be pivoted between a first position in which the hinged section (40) lies in the plane of the rigid roof (20) and a second position in which the hinged section is pivoted upwardly out of the plane of the rigid roof (20). Each hinged section (40) has a transverse edge which lies above one of a pair of doors of the vehicle (10) when the hinged section is in the first position thereof. Pivoting of each hinged section (40) to the second position thereof creates an aperture lying adjacent one of the pair of doors, which aperture aids ingress to and egress from the vehicle (10). Each hinged section (40) is connected to the remainder of the rigid roof by hinge means (80) which includes releasable connection means (93). The releasable connection means (93) connect each hinged section (40) with the remainder of the rigid roof and are manually operable to allow a user to manually detach each hinged section (40) from the remainder of the rigid roof (20).

Title: Process for nucleic acid purification using silicon carbide
Inventor: HAJ-AHMAD YOUSEF
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: The invention disclosed is particularly directed to a process for the purification of DNA, and is especially useful for the isolation of biologically active plasmid DNA. The process is initiated by binding the DNA to silicon carbide particles, either in the presence or absence of chaotropic agents. The bound DNA is subsequently eluted from the resin in low salt buffer or water. The resulting purified DNA is substantially free of proteins and is shown to be biologically active. The scope and diversity of the process is demonstrated here since this process can be used for the isolation of RNA and genomic DNA as well as the purification of PCR products and isolation of DNA from agarose gel slices.
Patent GB-2369631-A (GB)
Title: Producing oil and water from a reservoir
Inventor: RAMAKRISHNAN TERIZHANDUR S
IPC: E21B47/04
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: The system allows segregated production of fluids, e.g. water and oil, to control the fluid-fluid interface 32. Downhole sensors 36 are utilized in providing data about the location of the interface. This permits the proactive monitoring and control of the interface prior to unwanted intermingling of fluids, e.g. oil and water, during production. The sensors detect the location of the interface and the rate of production of the oil or the water, or both is controlled so that watercut does not occur with the consequent intermingling.

Title: News and other information delivery system
Inventor: PALMER MICHAEL L
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2001-12-11
Abstract: A news information content list may be updated dynamically by first altering the content list at a feed station server. More specifically, the content list may be altered by implementing one or more revisions thereto. The content list is comprised of an ordered sequence of stories, with each story being comprised of any one or combination of text elements, metadata, and one or more references to media objects. Next, the revisions implemented to the content list are packaged into a message and transmitted to one or more field stations (220) via communication networks including the Internet (230), satellite networks (240) and/or point-to-point dedicated connections (250). These revisions are used in updating copies of the content list at the field stations (220). Thus, media objects are transmitted only when they are modified, not when they are included or moved in multiple other content lists. A content list at a field station (220) is processed in a similar manner. Specifically, one or more revisions to a content list at a feed station (210) are received via a message at a field station (220). The content list is comprised of an ordered sequence of stories, with each story including text elements and one or more references to media objects. Subsequently, a copy of the content list at the field station (220) is updated by utilizing only the revisions to replace original content.

Patent GB-2380103-A (GB)
Title: TETRA communications system using a differential 8PSK (or D8PSK) modulation method
Inventor: STEPHENS PETER WILLIAM
IPC: H04L27/20
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: A modulation scheme for use in TETRA mobile communications systems that can provide an enhanced data transmission rate. The modulation scheme uses 3  f  /8 differential phase shift keying, which encodes 3 bits per symbol. The modulation scheme uses a Grey code mapping in which each consecutive set of 3 bits is used to represent a phase change of <SP>+</SP>/<SB>-</SB>   f  /8, <SP>+</SP>/<SB>-</SB> 3  f  /8, <SP>+</SP>/<SB>-</SB> 5  f  /8, and <SP>+</SP>/<SB>-</SB> 7  f  /8. The modulation scheme can be represented by:<BR> <BR> S(k) = S(k-1)exp[jD  D  (k)]<BR> S(0) = 1<BR> <BR> where: S(k) is the kth symbol in the burst, k=1, 2, . . ., n, and n is the total number of symbols in the burst. The modulation scheme is used in standard TETRA channels (e.g. spacing, slot and frame structure) and at the standard TETRA symbol rate. The modulation scheme therefore provides an enhanced raw bit rate of 54000 bits/s (3 bits per symbol). The channels employing the normal DQPSK modulation can be used to signal the availability of the D8PSK channel.
