| 20080267772 | AEROFOIL MEMBERS FOR A TURBOMACHINE - A circumferential row of aerofoil members span an annular duct for carrying a flow of compressible fluid. The duct is centred on the axis of a turbomachine. Pressure and suction surfaces of neighbouring aerofoil members bound respective sectoral passages which receive the flow of compressible fluid. The row comprises at least one radial endwall to which the tangent to the trailing edge of each aerofoil member at midspan is substantially orthogonal. Each aerofoil member has reverse compound lean. Each aerofoil member further has a leading edge which has a position at the endwall which is upstream of its position at midspan. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20100061188 | Data Transfer - An apparatus and method are provided for transferring data through a submarine hull or other solid boundary using high frequency acoustic signals, so avoiding penetration of the hull or boundary. First and second transducers are mounted on opposed surfaces of the hull and aligned to communicate acoustic signals through the hull. The first transducer is driven by a continuous wave carrier signal modulated with data. A demodulator detects that data in the modulated acoustic signals received by the second transducer. Critically, the dimensions of the first and second transducers and the frequency of the carrier signal are selected so as to reduce the interference by triple transit signals through the hull to a level sufficiently low to enable continuous communication of data through the hull at a bit rate of at least 1 MHz. Carrier signals of the order of 40 MHz may be used to achieve data bit rates of the order of 15-18 MHz through the hull. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20110026559 | LASER DISPLAYS - A laser is provided, suitable for use in laser displays, having a laser cavity defined by at least first and second mirrors, a lasing material positioned in an optical path within the cavity with an associated pumping source and wherein one of the mirrors has a reflective surface that is moveable so as to alter the length of the cavity at a rate sufficiently high to ensure that effects due to a speckle pattern, as perceived by an observer or detector of light generated by the laser, are reduced while preserving the instantaneous coherence of the laser light. Sufficiently rapid movement of the mirror surface ensures that any speckle pattern changes at a faster rate than can be detected by the human eye or by a detector so that speckle is no longer visible, or is at least considerably reduced. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110095692 | CAMOUFLAGE PANEL - A camouflage panel arranged to be attachable to an outer area of a submarine is disclosed. The panel comprises a light emitter operable such that light is emitted from a surface of the panel. The intensity and colour of the emitted light being controllable in response to a control signal received from a sensor arranged to sense the intensity and colour of light in the region of the submarine. Apparatus comprising a number of such panels is also disclosed. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20100242229 | DEVICE FOR PROCESSING COTTON - The present invention relates to a rib insert, a ginning rib and process for a ginning seed-cotton. The insert and ginning rib have an outer profile so that seed-cotton in contact therewith is urged away from the ginning zone formed between the ginning rib and saw. Advantages of the invention include increasing the rate of lint removal during ginning and increasing the long fibre length compared to conventional ginning. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20120075353 | System and Method for Providing Control Data for Dynamically Adjusting Lighting and Adjusting Video Pixel Data for a Display to Substantially Maintain Image Display Quality While Reducing Power Consumption - System and method for providing control data for dynamically adjusting lighting and adjusting video pixel data for a display to substantially maintain image display quality while reducing power consumption. In accordance with one or more embodiments, image statistics, e.g., histogram data representing luma values corresponding to pixels for a video frame, are analyzed to determine whether the pixels represent one or more of a plurality of images which includes an image containing primarily natural imagery, an image containing primarily graphics imagery, and an image containing a combination of at least respective portions of natural and graphics imagery. Based on such analysis, control data are provided to enable light source brightness reduction by one of a plurality of percentages and pixel brightness increases, e.g., in accordance with one of a plurality of multiple-segment piecewise linear curves defined in accordance with respective segment slopes, thresholds, and threshold offsets in accordance with whether the incoming pixel data primarily represents a natural image, primarily represents a graphics image, or represents a combination of natural and graphics images. | 03-29-2012 |
