20110127880REACTIVE NETWORKS TO REDUCE ACOUSTIC NOISE AND ENSURE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCIES IN DRIVING PIEZOELECTRIC ELEMENTS IN HAPTIC APPLICATIONS - A device and method are provided to drive piezoelectric elements in haptic applications. In one embodiment, a pattern generator provides user programmable PWM waveforms to a driver. The load of the driver is an inductor in series with the piezoelectric element. The filtration of the inductor in series with the capacitance of the piezoelectric element suppresses the high-frequency components of the PWM pulse train, and recovers a value commensurate with the duty cycle of the PWM pulse train. The resulting waveform across the piezoelectric element is converted to physical motion, thereby creating a haptic effect on a user interface. Advantageously, there is reduced power loss, reduced switching induced noise, and a more haptic rich environment.06-02-2011

20110066739SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY INITIATING AND DYNAMICALLY ESTABLISHING SECURE INTERNET CONNECTIONS BETWEEN A FIRE-WALLED SERVER AND A FIRE-WALLED CLIENT - A system and method for automatically and dynamically initiating and establishing secure connections between a Server and a Client using a session control server (SCS). Both the Server and the Client are connected to an untrusted network (such as the Internet) through a Network Address Translator or Translation (NAT) router or a firewall. The SCS, independently trusted by both the Server and the Client, brokers the required connection parameters to establish a secure connection between the Server and the Client. The system and method does not require any user configuration on the Client and eliminates the need for the Server to accept explicit connection requests or packets from the Client, thereby allowing the Server firewall to always remain closed to all inbound traffic.03-17-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100034638Impingement cooling arrangement - An impingement cooling arrangement comprises a projection extending partially across a coolant passage upstream of a jet aperture. An end surface of the projection increases the available surface area for heat exchange with a cross flow whilst a coolant air flow jetted from the jet aperture can transgress a proportion of the air flow passing between the end surface and a junction surface incorporating the jet aperture. A spacing gap B between the end surface and the junction surface avoids localised distortions to the cross flow whilst the projection provides that the coolant air flow projected from the jet aperture mostly passes through a lower turbulence wake downstream of the projection for greater impingement upon a target surface for heat transfer and cooling efficiency. Typically the impingement cooling arrangement is incorporated within turbine blades or vanes of a jet engine.02-11-2010
