Title: Measuring signal strength from neighbour cells in iterations spaced by a time interval specific to the case that the neighbour cell is higher priority
Inventor: MARTIN BRIAN ALEXANDER
IPC: H04W36/24
Filed: 2011-04-01
Abstract: The invention lies in state transitioning of a user equipment to take measurement reports for the purpose of reselecting between different priority cells. It aims to overcome the problem of how a user equipment (UE) in the UTRAN CELL-FACH state may reselect to the E-UTRAN cell. A UE determines that a neighbour cell is higher priority than a serving cell, measures neighbour cell signal strength in n>1 iterations, and analyzes them for reselecting from the serving cell to the neighbour cell. Each measurement iteration is spaced from one another by a time interval (e.g., 1 DRX) that is specific for the neighbour cell being higher priority. In various embodiments, the UE measures while in a Cell-PCH, URA-PCH or idle state/mode and the first iteration is taken at the first available measurement opportunity after transitioning to that state/mode. The UE reselects to the neighbour cell based on the analyzed signal strengths; in one embodiment the decision to reselect is without regard to signal quality of the serving cell; and in another the decision is without regard to whether a reselection condition remains satisfied for a specified time period Treselectionâ ¢

Title: Identifying sounds
Inventor: BROWN ADRIAN
IPC: G01S7/527
Filed: 2011-09-28
Abstract: Detection and identification of a sound event comprises collecting audio data from an active or passive acoustic sensor or sensor array (hydrophone, microphone, geophone, ionophone); processing the collected audio data in parallel to (A) determine periodicity of the sound, indicative of regular (rhythmic) mechanical sounds such as ship engines, drilling equipment, wind turbines, using a normalised square difference function; (B) isolate transient and/or non-linear sounds using a Hilbert Huang Transform; and (C) identify frequency modulated pulses using a Chirp Fractional Fourier transform. The three output data sets are combined and compared to categorise the sound event as being mechanical, biological or environmental. They may be compared with data sets from known sound sources. The method is particularly useful for detecting and analysing sound events in real time or near real-time and, in particular, for sonar applications as well as ground (including seismic) monitoring or for monitoring sound events in air (e.g. noise pollution).

Abstract: A kit for an inkjet printer 1 is disclosed, wherein the printer 1 has a print carriage (8, Fig.2) for supporting a plurality of printheads (18, Fig.2) adjacent a substrate during printing. The kit comprises a first module 2 and second module. The first module 2 comprises a substrate bed 4 for supporting the substrate during printing and associated control and movement devices including a movement mechanism 5 for providing relative movement of the print carriage (8, Fig.2) and the bed 4 in a print direction during a print pass. The second module comprises the print carriage (8, Fig.2) and a gantry 7 for supporting the print carriage (8, Fig.2). The print carriage (8, Fig.2) is arranged such that printheads (18, Fig.2) extend across substantially the full printable width of the substrate bed 4 and wherein the first and second modules are releasably attachable to each other. Ink jet printers are normally shipped as a single unit for convenience and quick commissioning at the final customer site. However for the large machine described in the application it would be difficult to ship in one piece, so the first module 2 is a separate structure from the second module. The first and second modules may therefore be shipped separately to customers.
