Title: Method for exchanging information corresponding to a public safety incident
Inventor: ANTONIO FARAONE
IPC: H04W4/021
Filed: 2017-12-14
Abstract: A method to operate a controller for exchanging information corresponding to a public safety incident is provided. In operation, the controller transmits a request to communication networks to send location information for portable communication devices operating in a region of interest. The controller, based on the location information received from the communication networks for the portable communication devices, selects a subset of portable communication devices. The controller assigns each device in the subset to a trusted group of devices or a non-trusted group of devices based on the respective subscriber profile and operating characteristics of the portable communication devices. The controller then establishes a connection with high priority portable communication devices in the trusted group via a public safety communication network to exchange information corresponding to the incident.

IPC: B33Y30/00
Filed: 2019-07-04
Abstract: A method of producing a 3D article by additive manufacture, and system thereof, includes steps of: providing a powder bed, forming and moving a melt-pool in the powder to selectively melt and fuse portions of the powder to form a layer of material on an already-existing part; repeating to build successive layers thereby producing the article. Wherein, a dynamic energy source 12, formed of a plurality of energy sub sources 6 with independently controllable power densities, impinge on the powder bed at impingement regions 10 arranged in an array 11 distributed along first and second, transverse, directions. When the melt-pool moves in the first direction, the relative power densities of energy sub-sources along the first direction are varied to maintain a constant interaction time of the energy source with the powder bed when the speed of relative movement of the melt-pool is changed (changing length of melt pool in direction of travel), and, along the second direction, to change the resolution of the melt pool (changing width of melt pool). Preferably, the energy sub sources are the outputs of respective lasers or diodes which outputs may be conveyed in a multicore optical fibre 7. A sensor 8 may be coupled to a further core 9 to provide real time sensory feedback.

Title: Circuits and methods related to switchless carrier aggregation in radio-frequency receivers
Inventor: IBRAHIM ENGIN PEHLIVANOGLU
IPC: H04B1/00
Filed: 2015-04-08
Abstract: A multiple input low noise amplifier circuit may include a first input stage 142 for receiving a first RF signal in a first band, and a second input stage 144 for receiving a second RF signal in a second band. The signal paths may include filters, not shown, for the respective bands. Each of the input stages 142 and 144 may act as a current converter that provides amplification for its respective RF signal. The processed first and second RF signals may be added at common node 136 and further processed by a transistor 146 to provide an output RF signal at output node 138. The first current converter 142 and the transistor 146 operate together as first cascode amplifier. Similarly, the second current converter 144 and the transistor 146 operate together as second cascode amplifier. Alternatively (fig.9) each input stage may be coupled to its own cascode transistor. Bias switches S1 and S3 may be used to turn on one or other amplifier, or both amplifiers, to combine signals. The signal paths themselves are free of switches, allowing the carrier aggregation circuit to operate with reduced noise figure.
