Abstract: By studying or storing refrigerating cycle characteristics of an air conditioning apparatus at the normal time and comparing them with refrigerating cycle characteristics acquired from the air conditioning apparatus at the time of operation, it becomes possible to exactly and accurately diagnose normality or abnormality of the air conditioning apparatus under any installation conditions and environmental conditions, which eliminates operations of inputting a difference between apparatus model names, a piping length, a height difference, etc at the time of apparatus installation. Accordingly, it aims at shortening the time of judging normality or abnormality, and improving the operability. It is  characterized by  calculating and comparing a measured value (a value of liquid phase temperature efficiency ε L (SC/dT c ) calculated from temperature information) concerning an amount of a liquid phase part of the refrigerant in the high-pressure-side heat exchanger with a theoretical value (a value of liquid phase temperature efficiency ε L  (1-EXP(-NTU R )) calculated from the transfer unit number NTU R  at refrigerant side).

Abstract: A method of locating and tracking a cellular terminal (1) is described. The method comprises the detection of one or more handover events that take place when the cellular terminal (1) moves between transmission regions (3) of a cellular terminal network provider. Information regarding the handover events is recorded within a database (4) so that the location of the cellular terminal (1) can be calculated. The calculation of the location of the cellular terminal (1) is achieved by either comparing the information with previously stored data or by extracting information regarding the location and geometry of the individual transmissions regions (3) such that a handover region (9) can be calculated. The precise location and area of the handover regions (9) takes account of various factors including power, time of flight of the transmitted signals and timing synchronisation within transmission regions (3) and the effects of shadowing of the transmitted signals.

Abstract: To provide a pneumatic tire capable of improving resistance to stone drilling while ensuring snow traction performance, protrusions 30 are arranged at intervals in a groove 20, each of the protrusions 30 being lower than a height of a block 15 and being separated from the block 15. The protrusion 30 includes a protrusion main portion 31 having a top portion 32, and a sloped portion 35 having a slope 36 of which angle with a groove bottom 24 is formed in a range from 3 to 60°. The sloped portion 35 is formed at positions in two directions which are mutually opposite to each other at least along the groove 20. Consequently, a stone trapped within the groove 20 moves up to the top portion 32 along the slope 36, and is ejected from the groove 20. Since the protrusions 30 are arranged separately from the block 15 and are arranged at intervals, the capacity of the groove 20 is ensured. Thus, the resistance to stone drilling can be improved while the snow traction performance is ensured.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil (300) conçu pour un système de communication cellulaire (100), comprenant une mémoire tampon (303) qui reçoit des données destinées à être envoyées par l'intermédiaire d'une interface hertzienne (115). Cette mémoire tampon (303) est couplée à un programmateur (305) qui programme les données et attribue les ressources physiques de l'interface hertzienne (115). Les retransmissions sont effectuées au moyen d'un plan de retransmission tel qu'un plan de demande de répétition automatique hybride (H-ARQ). Un processeur de charge (309) détermine une caractéristique de charge qui est associée au programmateur (305), tandis qu'un contrôleur cible (301) établit un paramètre cible pour le plan de retransmission, en réponse à la caractéristique de charge. De manière spécifique, une cible de taux d'erreurs sur les blocs peut être déterminée en réponse à un niveau de charge d'une cellule d'une pluralité de cellules. Un contrôleur d'émission (307) établit un paramètre d'émission pour une émission, en réponse audit paramètre cible, tandis qu'un émetteur (301) envoie les données au moyen de ce paramètre d'émission. Par conséquent, la présente invention permet d'ajuster un point de fonctionnement du plan de retransmission de manière dynamique, et ainsi de réduire la latence générale.
