Title: Electrical time switch
Inventor: HARRIS NICOLA CAROLINE TERNAN
IPC: G04G15/00
Filed: 2011-07-08
Abstract: A device for controlling the supply of electrical power to connected equipment by definition of time periods for potential activity does not automatically provide supply to the equipment and comprises timer circuitry and an associated manual switch controlling actual activity. The potentially active time-period makes power available but does not connect power to equipment without operation of manual switching and returns it to an off condition at the end of the timed active period. Time periods are controlled by timer circuit (fig 2,14) enabling switch 9 to supply power to the connected equipment via terminals 5. Switch 10 allows termination of supply to equipment. The housing of the device can be a power connector having plug pins 2 for a conventional socket and the equipment can be supplied by either being directly wired to it, through a socket, or the device may be incorporated into the equipment. Programming of the timer may require a security code or a mechanical or magnetic key to prevent unauthorised access and the imminent end of a period of potential activity can be signalled by adjustable audible or visual means.

IPC: H04L5/14
Filed: 2012-06-01
Abstract: A first device (STA1) sends to a second device (STA2) a request-to-send RTS message (202) comprising an indication that data is intended to be sent in a full duplex mode. A clear-to-send CTS message (206) from the second device (STA2) indicates that it has data to send and is full duplex capable. The first device (STA l ) sends to the second device (STA2) a first data frame (208) while receiving in full duplex mode a second data frame (210) from the second device (STA1). In one embodiment, the first data frame (208) comprises a header (208A) that confirms the full duplex mode and that gives an updated frame duration value, updated from durations indicated in the RTS and CTS messages (202,206). Aspects of the invention include Full duplex communication in a Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). It enables sufficient measurement to be made for the communicating devices to check whether the full duplex communication is feasible on the current radio link between them. And advantageously from a control overhead perspective these embodiments require no pre-configuration of the link or any priori knowledge for using full duplex on the unlicensed band.
