Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for comparing two ground-stationed clocks (1 and 2) that are linked with respective ground stations (2 and 4) via a satellite communications link (6.1 and 6.2). Both stations emit signals (S1 and S2) in coherence with their respective local clocks. Said signals are converted at the satellite (9) in a transponder (7) using the satellite-based local oscillator (8) and are returned to the ground. Each ground station receives the respective own signals (E 1-1 and E 2-2) and those of the counter-station (E 1-2 and E 2-1). For the purpose of measurement, the carrier phase ( phi  1-1,  phi  1-2,  phi  2-1,  phi  2-2) of the received signals is compared with the respective local clock and evaluated. The result of said evaluation are four independent measurements from which the unknown influences by the satellite-based local oscillator (8) and by the two different relative movements of the satellite with respect to the ground stations are eliminated. As a result, the frequency difference (5) of the clocks is determined.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new method of selecting the best radio access unit to roam to or make a handover to. The method is based on a database, keeping track on short live historical information on busy status and RSSI of radio access units, which guarantees the lowest chance on a blocked call, thereby preventing time-consuming call-set-up procedures as well as reducing the usage of (battery)power. The scanning of the environment is not deployed at an higher rate than usual, to obtain the best radio access unit selection, but instead the scanning rate is lowered, thereby saving power in the remote radio communication unit and hence extend the operational lifetime of the battery fed equipment. The selecting method can be used within a DECT multicell environment.

Abstract: The downlink transmit powers of base stations involved in a diversity handover communication with a mobile station are controlled to minimize base station power "drift." A downlink reference power level is determined based on detected, current transmit power levels of the diversity handover base stations. One or more power offsets is determined for one or more of the base stations based on signal quality measurements made by the mobile station. The reference power level and power offset(s) are used to selectively regulate an adjustment to the transmit power levels of the diversity handover base stations. The general reference power is transmitted at a first, relatively high frequency to the diversity handover base stations by embedding it in a user data frame. In that way, the signal processing load is kept to a minimum despite the higher transmission rate. Individual power offsets are sent to associated individual base stations in a control signalling channel identifying the one base station at a second frequency lower than the first frequency. The control channel signaling permits individual base station power offsets, but the lower frequency at which the offsets are transmitted reduces the associated signaling load.

Abstract: The invention relates to an injection assembly for an accumulator fuel-injection system comprising an injection nozzle (18) which projects into a combustion chamber (16) and which can be supplied with fuel from a high-pressure fuel distributor (12) via a high-pressure fuel supply route and a nozzle needle (32) which opens and closes the injection nozzle depending on the pressure in a valve control chamber (58). The fuel is supplied to the valve control chamber by a supply channel (60) branching off from the fuel supply route and opening into said control chamber. The fuel flows out of the valve control chamber via an outflow route (64) originating from said chamber. In addition, an auxiliary channel (72), which opens into the outflow route, branches off from the fuel supply. The outflow route can be shut off downstream of the mouth of the auxiliary channel to prevent the outflow of fuel, using a shut off device (68). To avoid leakages which cannot be used for control purposes, the shut-off device is configured to shut off the auxiliary channel to the outflow of fuel, in such a way that when the outflow route is shut off, the auxiliary channel is open and vice versa.

Abstract: A proportional valve is disclosed for controlling the outlet pressure of a fluid flowing therethrough. The valve comprises a valve body having an inlet port and an outlet port for the fluid. The valve also has an inner chamber, within which there is formed a valve seat that may be opened and closed variably by a shutter axially movable from and towards the valve seat. Movement of the shutter is controlled by a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuating member operating antagonistically to an elastic member, the temperature of the fluid being lower than the transition temperature of the shape memory alloy. The actuating member and the elastic member are connected to the body valve at opposite sides relative to the valve seat. A power control circuit is also provided for circulating an electric current through the actuating member so as to heat the same by Joule effect from a temperature lower than the transition temperature to one that is higher. At least one vent hole is formed in the valve body for putting a portion of the chamber upstream of the valve seat into fluid communication with the outside or a collection network. The actuating member is housed in that portion of chamber corresponding to the inlet port of the fluid, whereby a continuous flow of fluid around the actuating member is ensured for accelerating the cooling process. A closed-loop control circuit for the power control circuit controls the circulating current as a function of a pressure signal generated by fluid pressure sensing means and in such a way as to offset the retarding effect produced by the fluid during heating of the actuating member.
