IPC: G03F7/11
Filed: 2012-02-27
Abstract: A surface coating 20 is applied to a photosensitive material 18, such as a photo-resist on a substrate 12, where the photosensitive material, before or after curing, and surface coating are both soluble in a first liquid. The first liquid is preferably an organic solvent and is used to remove the material / photo-resist and the coating after it has been exposed to radiation via a mask 22.

Title: In-device coexistence interference avoidance
Inventor: JACTAT CAROLINE
IPC: H04B1/10
Filed: 2012-05-09
Abstract: A mobile communications system is described in which a mobile device is operable to communicate with a base station using a first radio technology and with other devices using a second radio technology. In case of in-device coexistence interference being detected due to concurrent use of the first and second radio technologies, the mobile device provides assistance information to the base station, based on which the base station generates control data which is sent to the mobile device which uses it to alleviate the interference. The first radio access technology (RAT) may be LTE, cellular communication. The second radio access technology (RAT) may be an Industrial, Scientific and Medical band technology e.g. Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth or GPS, for example. The assistance information may comprise an indication of current or target bit rate s703 for the second RAT or current mean or maximum allowed mean interference s705 of the second RAT. The assistance information may also comprise an indication that the base station uses a non-preferred communication technology for concurrent use with the second RAT. The assistance information may comprise information relating to a spectrum mask. The control data may comprise an instruction to release a connection or modify an operating parameter of the first and/or second RAT such as modifying time-division multiplexing (TDM) s704 or frequency division multiplexing (FDM) s706 parameters. The control data may comprise a base station preference for a solution to be applied by the mobile device. The mobile device may further send an indication that interference has been alleviated. Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages may be used to exchange the assistance information and control data.

Title: Oscillator phase noise reducing circuit
Inventor: HUANG YUNG-SHENG
IPC: H03B1/00
Filed: 2013-06-26
Abstract: A circuit for reducing the phase noise of an oscillator includes a transistor 10, an impedance element 20 coupled to the transistor 10, an inverting circuit 30 coupled to one end of the impedance element 20, and an adding circuit 40 coupled to the inverting circuit and to the other end of the impedance element 20. The transistor may form part of an oscillator circuit, as in fig.3. Signals containing noise at the gate 15 of transistor 10 are inverted and amplified by inverting circuit 30 and sent to the adding circuit 40 to be superimposed on signals from the drain 14 of the transistor, at the opposite end of the impedance element. Noise is reduced by amplifying and superimposing the signals and the noise in the gate and drain circuits of the transistor. The technique may also be applied to ring oscillators formed from loops of delay cells (figs.6-10).

Title: Selective activation of network management policies of mobile devices in a mobile network
Inventor: SELEZNYOV ALEXANDR
IPC: H04W28/02
Filed: 2013-10-09
Abstract: The invention provides generation and selective activation, or triggering, of network management policies in a congested network to prevent further aggravation of network congestion. In order to address mobile network congestion, network management policies are enforced on mobile devices D1 that are located within a specific congested cell.
