Title: Protocols, interfaces, and pre/post-processing for enabling son entities and features in base stations and wireless networks
Inventor: ON HANSON
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2014-06-03
Abstract: LTE and HSPA/UMTS deployments are trending towards high density, heterogeneous and ad-hoc deployments. These deployments can be managed through Self- Organizing Network (SON) schemas. Enabling SON generally involves the introduction of new software and/or hardware entities into the network that can interact with existing base station and network entities (e.g., Enhanced Packet Core, Element Management System, and/or other network entities). In one embodiment, these interactions include the development and deployment of interfaces (e.g., APIs) and protocols between the SON entities and various network entities. For example, data collected on either side of an interface or protocol can be post-processed before consumption (e.g., for both data integrity purposes as well as bandwidth reduction purposes). As described herein, a full set of such interfaces and protocols with specific examples are disclosed to illustrate various techniques for providing protocols, interfaces, and pre/post-processing for enabling SON entities and features in base stations and wireless networks.

Title: Method of manufacture
Inventor: Steven P Lawler
IPC: H01J37/315
Filed: 2016-02-17
Abstract: A method of electron beam welding two components 24 together along a joint, the method comprising providing a chamber 30 around the joint 28 and evacuating the chamber so as to reduce the pressure in the chamber and electron beam welding along the joint using an electron beam welding gun 32 whilst the evacuated chamber 30 is in position. The integrity of the weld formed along the joint is inspected whilst the chamber is in position around the joint. The joint is preferably inspected whilst the chamber is still evacuated and by using ultrasonic techniques from the pressure waves generated by the welding beam. Transducers 36 are preferably outside the chamber to detect the ultrasound waves generated by the electron beam.

Title: Improved contention mechanism for access to random resource units in an 802.11 channel
Inventor: PATRICE NEZOU
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2016-02-29
Abstract: In an 802.11ax network with an access point, a trigger frame offers random resource units to nodes for data uplink communication to the access point. The nodes access to the random RUs using a contention scheme based on a contention window size CWO, in order to transmit data. To dynamically adapt the contention scheme used by the nodes, the AP decides, based on statistics on use of previous random RUs, whether or not a correcting parameter TBD to drive the nodes in defining their own CWO should be sent. TBD is added to a next trigger frame. Depending on the presence of TBD in a received trigger frame, the nodes determine the contention window size to be used either based on received TBD, or using a local updated contention window size. The AP thus manages a switch between the two approaches to compute nodes' CWO, by sending or not TBD.

Title: Tracking the content of a cache
Inventor: Miles Dooley
IPC: G06F12/0864
Filed: 2016-03-24
Abstract: Set associative cache 40 comprises a plurality of ways, each way comprising a data array 42, 44 for storing data items. Way tracker 54 has entries 56, each storing a data item identifier (ADDRESS) and an associated indication (WAY) of the way where it is stored. Each entry further stores a known cache miss indicator (KCM) associated with the data item identifier and set when a lookup for the data item results in a cache miss. When a match is found between the identifiers of a received data item and an entry, the way-tracker suppresses the lookup procedure of tag arrays 46 by access circuit 48, saving time and energy. When the match is with an entry having a stored miss indicator, access to the data arrays of all ways is suppressed. The way-tracker is like a small subset of the tag array 46 which, being smaller, is accessed faster.

Title: A method of operating a domestic hot water installation
Inventor: TERENCE WILLIAM MADIGAN
IPC: F24D19/10
Filed: 2017-03-09
Abstract: A method of operating a domestic hot water installation 1 comprising a hot water cylinder 3, a controller 35 and a heating circuit 5 for the hot water cylinder. The controller monitors the temperature and volume of hot water in the cylinder, periodically calculates the temperature and volume of hot water cylinder taking into account a hot water loss profile of the cylinder. If the temperature or volume of hot water in the cylinder drops below a predetermined desired level, the controller operates the heating circuit to bring the temperature or volume of hot water in the cylinder up to a desired level. In this way, the desired amount of water will be available and the temperature of the water will be kept to a level that is unlikely to promote spread of bacteria. An operator may enter a hot water loss profile constant. The temperature and volume of the water may be monitored being delivered and drawn from the cylinder and / or the time between the two events. The profile may be generated over time.
