Title: Enhanced steering using two engine idle speeds
Inventor: JENKINS NEIL GRAHAM
IPC: B60F3/00
Filed: 2012-10-14
Abstract: A watercraft or amphibian has a prime mover operable at first and second idle speeds and a marine propulsion device which produces thrust when connected to the prime mover. A manually operated thrust control, operated by a rider, controls the amount of speed and thrust of the prime mover. A sensor determines whether the watercraft or amphibian is operating above a determined speed of travel and where the prime mover is operated above the second idle speed when the sensor determines the watercraft is operating above the determined speed such that steerable thrust is provided independently of the manual operated thrust control.

Title: Measurement of channel conditions when using carriers of reduced bandwidth
Inventor: WAKABAYASHI HIDEJI
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2013-01-16
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing feedback on channel conditions in a wireless telecommunications system are described. At least one terminal device within the system is a reduced capability terminal device, such as an MTC device, comprising a tunable transceiver configured to receive downlink transmissions from the base station using a virtual carrier, which uses a restricted frequency bandwidth which is smaller than and within the system bandwidth. A base station indicates to the terminal that it should measure channel conditions for different frequencies. The terminal sequentially tunes its transceiver to different frequency locations for the restricted frequency bandwidth and making measurements of channel conditions. The terminal device communicates information derived from the measurements to the base station. The information may comprise an indication of frequency locations for which measurements of channel conditions meet a pre-defined selection criterion. The downlink frame structure may comprise a series of time-slots, with measurements of conditions for different frequency locations being made in different time slots. Consecutive measurements may be made in non-consecutive time-slots. The base station may subsequently schedule downlink transmissions for the terminal device in a manner that takes account of the information received from the terminal device.

Title: Wireless local communication systems and methods from WAN fallback
Inventor: KLEIN DAVID E
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2014-03-25
Abstract: A method, a mobile device, and a wireless system provide wireless local communication systems and methods from Wide Area Network (WAN) fallback allowing proximate users to maintain connectivity therebetween while WAN connectivity is lost. The wireless local communication systems and methods leverage access point credentials for the WAN to set up local wireless communication amongst the mobile devices when WAN connectivity is lost or when commanded to do so. Local mobile device users can maintain communication such as in a talkgroup while WAN connectivity is disrupted or undesired. The systems and methods include an algorithm where a first mobile device identifies the loss of WAN connectivity and becomes a WAN access point for other proximate mobile devices which share common preconfigured credentials. Subsequent mobile devices which detect the loss of WAN connectivity can associate with the AP thereby maintaining local communication using local wireless connectivity techniques.
