Title: Control apparatus for use in a cellular system
IPC: H04W16/00
Filed: 1997-03-11
Abstract: To reduce the traffic load in a cell of a cellular communication system, the cell size is reduced thus transferring traffic to adjacent cells. The quality (bit error rate or frame error rate) of a communication channel is monitored, with a deterioration in quality indicating traffic overload. Cell size is reduced by reducing the power of a pilot signal transmitted from the cell's base station or by changing the hand-off parameters (which may be set in the mobile). Adjacent cells increase in size in the same manner so that no gap in coverage is produced. According to the present invention, the cell size is varied by sending new handoff parameters to a mobile station in dependence upon the communication quality of monitored CDMA communication channels.

Patent GB-0312288-D0 (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to particle detectors
IPC: G21K1/00
Filed: 2003-05-29
Abstract: A signal detector for detecting electrically charges particles in a gaseous medium has an electrode (21) a tip region of which gathers the particles. The electrode is connected to a voltage source for applying a voltage that generates an electro-static field around the electrode so as to attract the particles thereto. An output from the electrode provides an output representative of the number of particles detected. At least part of the tip region of the electrode has a radius of curvature which is sufficiently small (or in the case of a pointed tip or edge of a pointed tip or edge infinitesimal) to create, in use, a localised high intensity electro-static field which defines a detection zone in which, in use, charge particles are accelerated by the electric field to an extent sufficient to ionise gas molecules in the zone and thus amplify the signal received by the detector. The detector is suitably suitable for detecting secondary electrons in a scanning electron microscope since only electrons which have collisions in the detection zone will give rise tot he amplified signal, and backscattered electrons will generally tend to travel through the zone without having any such collision.

Title: Circuit for signal amplification and use of the same in active matrix devices
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 2003-08-08
Abstract: An amplification circuit comprises a capacitor arrangement (42) and a switching arrangement. The capacitor arrangement has a first capacitor (C2) which has a voltage-dependent capacitance and a second capacitor (C1) (which may also be voltage-dependent). The circuit is operable in two modes, a first mode in which the input voltage is provided to one terminal of at least the first capacitor, and a second mode in which the switching arrangement causes charge to be redistributed between the first and second capacitors such that the voltage across the first capacitor changes to reduce the capacitance of the first capacitor, the output voltage being dependent on the resulting voltage across the first capacitor. The invention uses a voltage controlled capacitance in combination with charge sharing between capacitors, which has the result of providing a voltage amplification characteristic. This arrangement can thus be used for the amplification of an analogue voltage, or the boosting of a fixed level (i.e. digital voltage). Thus, the circuit of the invention can be used for level shifting or amplification, for example for use in the pixels of an active matrix array device.
