Title: Random access procedures
Inventor: RAGHAVENDRA MAGADI RANGAIAH
IPC: H04W76/19
Filed: 2018-06-20
Abstract: When a terminal device is in connected mode it may no longer receive system information broadcast by a cell and therefore if the system information has been modified since the terminal device transitioned from idle mode to connected mode, said system information, and more particularly random access parameters from System Information Block Type 2, may be out-of-date. Disclosed is a method in a terminal device such as an NB‑IoT (narrowband Internet-of-Things) terminal device (140) configured to operate in a radio access network (110) in a connected mode. Stored random access parameters of a cell may be updated and used when the terminal device is required to perform a random access procedure 320 in connected mode, such as after a Radio Link Failure (RLF). The terminal device in connected mode reads system information of the cell broadcast by the network. A new change identifier in a SystemInfoValueTagList is read from newly received System Information Block Type 1 and compared 330 with a previously stored 310 change identifier. If the change identifiers match then System Information Block Type 2 information, and thus the random access parameters, are considered valid, otherwise the random access parameters are considered invalid.

Title: Phase insensitive ultrasound sensor and detection apparatus using such a transducer
Inventor: BAJRAM ZEQIRI
IPC: A61B8/08
Filed: 2018-06-29
Abstract: Ultrasound transducer 10 includes first and second pyroelectrically active electrodes 12, 14 separated by spacer layer 16. The electrode layers are formed e.g. of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), with a thickness such as 9 micrometres. This electrically insulates the pyro-electric layers, keeping them close enough such that they see effectively the same vibration or background acoustic excitation, while maintaining sufficient distance to ensure significant difference in pyroelectric response. Ripples caused by background vibration are seen on both electrodes but are effectively cancelled out by taking the differential signal. The tri-laminar sensor 10 is disposed in a detection zone (102, figure 2) in which a test element (such as a human body part e.g. breast tissue, or a submerged pipe), may be situated. The detector may be used for imaging applications and/or ultrasound computed tomography (UCT), such a medical evaluation of breast or testicular disease e.g. detecting cancerous tissue or bone illnesses.

Title: Congestion management in a wireless communications network
Inventor: OLIVIER MARCO
IPC: H04W28/02
Filed: 2018-09-27
Abstract: Methods of managing congestion in a New Radio (NR) wireless network that supports integrated wireless access and backhaul (IAB) between a core network and user equipment. A first method accesses a quality of service flow identification (QFI) and uses it to sort a traffic flow of protocol data units (PDU) into at least one flow; active queue management (AQM) is then applied to manage congestion of the flow. A second method marks a PDU with a discard instruction and sends it to a second node where a service data unit (SDU) corresponding to the marked PDU is discarded to create a traffic congestion indicator (TCI). The TCI is then sent to the transmitter of the flow. Alternatively, the PDU is marked with an explicit congestion notification (ECN), is sent to a second node, the ECN read and relayed to a central unit of the network. A fourth method is applied to a traffic flow of SDUs. At least one SDU is corrupted and sent to a second node where its discard creates a TCI that is sent to the transmitter of the flow.
