Title: RNC scalable in accordance with data quantities
Inventor: SAKATA MASAYUKI
IPC: H04W88/12
Filed: 2004-12-23
Abstract: The system is highly scalable and the devices can be increased or decreased in a minimum unit in accordance with the amount of user data to be processed, by dividing the UPE (user plane control equipment) in a radio network controller into the minimum necessary functions. A MAC-d entity 124 only dependent on the individual user data is separated independently from a MAC-c/sh entity 121, so that it may be increased or decreased in number in accordance with the amount of traffic. Thereby, the unit of increase or decrease can be made not a unit of UPE, but a finer unit of MAC-d, resulting in the higher scalability of the system.

Title: A choke system having a linear hydraulic stepping actuator
Inventor: COVE HARRY RICHARD
IPC: E21B33/035
Filed: 2005-01-10
Abstract: A choke system includes a hydraulic circuit which provides choke valve positioning that can be varied by the use of incremental steps. The incremental movement action in either the opening or closing direction is accomplished through the use of one of two hydraulic slave cylinders 31,42 which can either add or subtract a fixed volume of hydraulic fluid from the choke actuator 20. A series of check valves 58,60,62,66 provides direction for flow in the hydraulic lines, locking of the choke actuator, and re-filling of the slave cylinders during operation. The system eliminates excessive lines or solenoid valves and avoids the need for mechanical locking mechanisms. A "fast close" system may be provided which, instead of running through a series of steps to close the valve, provides valve control in a fast close line to move the choke actuator to the full closed position from anywhere in the travel over a shorter period of time than through normal stepping operation.

Title: Control of mobile communication device
Inventor: RAY GAVIN
IPC: H04W12/08
Filed: 2005-10-07
Abstract: The operation of a mobile communication device can be controlled by a user. The user accesses a remote server (e.g. a web server) and selects the functions required. These range from call blocking, allowing calls only from/to a specified geographical area and/or within specified times, etc. The required functions are then transmitted to the mobile device (e.g. by SMS) and stored in the SIM card of the device. When a call is received/dialled the SIM card checks a set of rules as defined by the functions stored in the SIM card to see if the call is allowable. This allows fine tuning of a mobile device to a users specification at a local rather than a network level.
