Title: Improvements in and relating to UTDoA Positioning in a telecommunication system
Inventor: MYTHRI HUNUKUMBURE
IPC: G01S1/24
Filed: 2019-08-08
Abstract: A gNB serving a user equipment (UE) requests signal strength measurements of neighbouring gNBs from the UE. The gNB then selects a subset of the neighbouring gNBs having the highest reported signal strength, and determines if any of these are operating with a lower sub-carrier spacing (SCS) than itself. If so, the serving gNB instructs the UE to repeat its sounding reference signal (SRS) in subsequent slots, the number of repetitions corresponding to the difference in sub-carrier spacings. This mechanism increases the amount of power that the lower SCS gNBs can capture from the SRS. If the SRS is still not detected by all the gNBs in the subset, the serving gNB may instruct further repetitions. If this fails, the serving gNB may repeat the process with a new subset of neighbours. The serving gNB may also inform those in the subset that the SRS will be repeated in consecutive time slots, and may collect uplink time delay of arrival (UTDoA) data from the subset to determine the position of the UE.

Abstract: Method for inspection of cargo by a radiation source 201 emitting a plurality of pulses 401-403 at a current frequency, using matrix detector 202, current frequency being updated based upon determined pace. The pace is determined by generating images of the cargo for the first and at least one second column of the matrix detector, and using a number corresponding to the number of columns between. Current frequency is updated based on the determined and a predetermined pace. Pace determination may use image cross correlation, or energy minimisation. The radiation source may be configured to emit pulses at a lower and higher energy mode, e.g. to obtain atomic number discrimination, and the pace may be determined by using a weighted average of paces for the lower and higher energy modes. The method may maintain an inspection dose or obtain inspection of the full cargo, regardless of relative speed.

Abstract: A method is described for processing acoustic images 15 of a tubular, such as an oil or gas pipe, to determine its surface. The images may be acquired by an acoustic logging tool 12 deployed into a conduit or well.

Title: Method and system to identify and prioritize re-factoring to improve micro-service identification
Inventor: LIN CHEN
IPC: G06F8/72
Filed: 2021-09-30
Abstract: A computer system wherein there is a genetic manager to apply a genetic algorithm to parent re-factoring operations selected from an initial identified set of such operations for source code to produce an offspring population of the operations as a subset of the parent re-factoring operations. A score manager measures a fitness score of each re-factoring operation including collecting runtime traces of the source code and applies the traces to the subset such that a classifier can prioritise operations within the subset based on a corresponding fitness score. Responsive to the prioritisation one or more of the re-factoring operations can be applied to the source code to produce one or more micro-service candidates. A crossover operator may be applied to generate a combination of offspring re-factoring operations, and a mutation operator may be applied to introduce variability to the generated combination. The application of the genetic algorithm and fitness score measurement may be an iterative process wherein an operation is selected as the next parent re-factoring operation on an objective factor and iteratively applied to the process.
