Title: Receiver architecture for vector measurements
Inventor: NAZOA NILS
IPC: G01R27/28
Filed: 2007-09-07
Abstract: A receiver architecture for use in making vector measurements comprises one or more frequency translation stages to convert the signal to be measured to an intermediate frequency. The local oscillator signal L02 that feeds either a synchronous detector stage, or the last frequency translator before a digital signal processor (DSP), is connected so that it has the same phase noise or jitter characteristics as that of the signal to be measured. Where a synchronous detector is used the local oscillator signal L02 can be phase shifted by 90 degrees, but for a DSP (fig 8) it is phase locked to the test signal. Forward and reverse characteristics may be made using vector network analyser (VNA) architecture.

Title: Configuration management of a wireless sensor network
Inventor: WALLER ADRIAN
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2007-12-18
Abstract: There is described a method and system for communication management in a node network, more particularly to the configuration management of a WSN network. A configuration management message is sent to a gateway node 4 with instructions to change the configuration of the network. The gateway node 4 sends the configuration management message to its neighbouring nodes which determine whether or not the message is the most recent configuration management message sent by the gateway node 4 and, if it is the most recent, change their configuration to that indicated in the configuration message. They then send the configuration management message onto their neighbouring nodes whereby the process is repeated until the network has been flooded with the new configuration. If the configuration management message is less recent than the one already stored by the node, then the node may send its own, more recent, message to its neighbouring nodes. If the configuration management message is identical to the one aleady stored by the node, then it may ignore the message without passing the message on to its neighbouring nodes. The message may contain a version number or a time stamp.

Title: Method of filtering a plurality of data packets
Inventor: LABOY JOSE A
IPC: H04B7/216
Filed: 2006-06-23
Abstract: A method of filtering a plurality of data packets may include a radio access network (RAN) receiving the plurality of data packets and determining if a mobile station (102) coupled to the RAN (104) is in a dormant state and a reactivation request is not pending for the mobile station. If the mobile station (102) is in a dormant state and a reactivation request is not pending then a data packet filtering module located at a packet gateway function (118) of the RAN identifies a reactivation request data packet from the plurality of data packets (160), where the reactivation request data packet is coupled to reactivate the mobile station. The data packet filtering module evaluates the reactivation request data packet against a rule set, where the rule set is unique to the mobile station. The reactivation request data packet is forwarded if data packet filtering module indicates a forward condition; and discarded if the data packet filtering module indicates a discard condition.

Title: Determining the position of marine seismic sources using nearfield pressure measurements
Inventor: HOPPERSTAD JON-FREDRIK
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2008-06-13
Abstract: A marine seismic source array has at least two sources which are nominally identical to one another, and other sources which are nominally unique. The nominally identical sources are, for example, identical airguns which are charged to the same pressure and deployed at the same depth, and which should therefore have the same nominal signature. The positions of the sources are estimated using measurements of the pressure field, for example at nearfield hydrophones. Notional source signatures for the nominally identical sources are determined 2, using the estimated position data, and compared 3 with one another. A significant difference between the signatures indicates that the estimated positions of the seismic sources are incorrect. The method is repeated 4 until a set of estimated positions is found for which the difference between the notional source signatures is less than a threshold. The method does not need an external position measuring system (acoustic positioning, GPS), but may be used in combination with such a system to estimate the source array geometry.
