Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a formed article comprising forming an upper surface of a glass material that has been positioned on a forming surface of a mold to obtain the formed article by heating the glass material to a temperature permitting deformation to bring a lower surface of the glass material into tight contact with the forming surface. Glass having upper and lower surfaces being spherical in shape is employed as the glass material, a mold having a forming surface being a free-form surface other than a spherical surface is employed as the mold, the upper surface of the glass material is formed into a roughly offset surface relative to the forming surface of the mold. The present invention permits the manufacturing of formed articles of desired shape with high precision by hot sag molding method. The present invention also permits the easy and simple determination of the surface shapes of molds and glass materials employed in hot sag molding method.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for direct and polar modulation using a two input PLL are presented. Aspects of the system may include generating digital signals W n  and V n  from an input data signal U n  and a feedback signal Y n . The generated digital signals W n  and V n  combined may carry the information content of U n  while they compensate the non-idealities of the two-input analog phase locked loop (PLL). The digital signal W n , which may be scaled appropriately in frequency, and the digital signal V n  may be provided as inputs to the PLL. The feedback signal Y n  may be a digital signal that may correspond to the analog feedback signal P t  that may be generated by the PLL. Accordingly, the PLL may be adaptively controlled via the digital signals W n  and V n  for properly transmitting the input data signal U n .

Abstract: The present invention provides a method that can be used to determine a variable threshold that is used to indicate when a mobile terminal should initiate a handover from a first mobile network to a second mobile network. Conventionally, if a radio signal parameter, such as RSSI, falls below a threshold value then a handover will be made. In the present invention, a handover manager assesses the performance of the network and if it is adequate then the threshold value at which a handover is to' be performed is decreased. Preferably the mobile terminal uses a normalised RSSI value as the parameter that is assessed to determine whether a handover should be made..
