Title: Reporting channel state information in a wireless communications system
Inventor: WAKABAYASHI HIDEJI
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2013-01-21
Abstract: A method for reporting channel state information, preferably a CQI, relating to a link between a terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The system bandwidth is divided into sub-band parts having at least one characteristic size. A plurality of communications resource elements are provided across the system bandwidth, and parameters corresponding to the channel state in one or more of the resource elements are measured. Aggregate and sub-channel state information is generated from the measured parameters corresponding to the resource elements. The size of sub-band parts is dependent upon radio propagation conditions, and may be broadcast in radio resource signalling. A look-up table relating sub-band sizes to categories of radio propagation conditions may be provided. Such categories may include the site type of the base station, or the mobility type of the terminal. The sub-band size may depend on ambient radio conditions such as delay spread, SINR measurements, or the transmission mode of a downlink data channel. There may be a plurality of sub-band sizes with at least two groups of sub-bands having different respective sizes, allowing channel state information to be reported at different degrees of granularity for different parts of the bandwidth.

Title: Linear actuator
Inventor: WHITELEY GRAHAM
IPC: H02K1/27
Filed: 2013-03-19
Abstract: An actuator that transforming electrical energy into mechanical energy (or vice-versa) has a stator 124 comprising electromagnetic sectors for generating phased electromagnetic fields around the stator and two cylindrical elements 120,122, the stator and the cylindrical elements concentrically arranged around a central shaft axis. The rotatable cylindrical element 122 has permanent magnetic elements magnetized radially arranged as one or more discontinuous helices and element 120 has two helically arranged magnets threads of different polarities and is held fixed with respect to the stator. Phased magnetization of the stator causes the cylindrical element 122 to rotate around the axis and move along a helical path due to interaction with element 120, thereby exerting a longitudinal force on the shaft though bearing arrangements (see fig 2,3). In an alternative embodiment the fixed permanent magnetic element may be associated directly with the stator forming an assembly 162 with the discontinuous helix rotating element 156 surrounding the stator and fixed in respect of axial movement, the rotation causing the stator assembly 162 coupled to the shaft to move axially. A single cylinder embodiment (figs 20-22) is disclosed. Applications of the actuator include prosthetic limbs and orthoses, and for service and remotely operated robots.
