Title: Colour Calibration of Displays using Natural Language Commands
Inventor: BALA RAJA
IPC: G09G5/02
Filed: 2012-07-11
Abstract: A method and system for colour calibration of a colour display device. A colour stimulus (such as a grey patch 706) is displayed on the display which a user adjusts using natural language commands until it appears to visually match a fixed reference stimulus (such as a 50% binary halftone pattern 702.) The colour stimulus may be displayed via a graphical user interface, GUI 700. Digital values of the adjusted colour stimulus are used to derive a calibration or correction function for the display. The calibration function can then be applied to produce corrected colours on the display device. The natural language command may be an instruction such as "make reference patch less purple" which enables the user to calibrate the display without the use of sliders or manual controls and does not require the user to understand colour mixing technology when making separate red, green and blue adjustments to match a specified patch. The invention is designed to make the colour adjustment process simpler and faster.

Title: Measurement reporting of neighbour frequencies for redirection to an alternative frequency
Inventor: HENTTONEN TERO
IPC: H04W28/02
Filed: 2012-08-03
Abstract: A network sends to a UE a neighbour frequency list for use in redirection. For each frequency in the list which a user equipment UE finds to satisfy one or more signal strength or quality criteria (event-triggering criteria), the idle-state or semi-idle-state UE then takes a measurement of the neighbour frequency and checks whether the measurement satisfies reporting criteria. The UE sends to its serving cell an indication of the neighbor frequency or frequencies whose measurement meets the reporting criteria, without reporting the measurement, such as in a RRC Connection Request message. The serving cell then redirects the UE to establish a connection on a target frequency selected from the indicated neighbour frequencies, and. this redirect may be in a RRC Connection Reject message. The invention allows the network to know which frequencies are suitable for redirecting the connection request to when the camped-on frequency is congested.

Title: A socket to couple with a bar via tapering grooves
Inventor: BENFORD PHILIP
IPC: F16B21/07
Filed: 2010-10-05
Abstract: A socket has two attachable housing parts 11, 13 containing a grooved 14 collet 12. The housing has an opening 15 for insertion of a ribbed 6 bar 1 and the collet is flexible. The collet tapers so that the grooves further from opening 15 are closer to central axis of symmetry 30 than grooves nearest opening 15; which means they lock more deeply with ribbed bar 1. Ideally the variance in the distance of the grooves from the central axis is the result of a higher radial pressure further from opening 15. The housing can have external indentations formed on it. the collet and housing may have frusto-conical camming faces so that a force on the bar away from the socket makes the collet grip tighter. The bar 1 can comprise a central nylon rod around which an annular overmould of a different material is formed.

Title: Idle mode load balancing
Inventor: HIMKE VAN DER VELDE
IPC: H04W28/08
Filed: 2015-07-29
Abstract: Performing an idle mode redistribution evaluation by a mobile device in a mobile communication network by, determining a plurality of redistribution targets, each redistribution target corresponding to a different frequency and comprising at least one cell within which the mobile device can camp on in idle mode. The mobile device uses information received from within a particular cell of the wireless communication network to identify redistribution factors corresponding to redistribution targets. The device then determines whether to move to one of the redistribution targets based on the at least one redistribution factor. The redistribution factor for a redistribution target indicates a proportion of mobile devices currently distributed to the particular cell which are intended to camp on a cell corresponding to that redistribution target. If the redistribution factor is specified for a first cell corresponding to that redistribution target then the redistribution factor for the first cell is set as the only redistribution factor associated with that redistribution target. This is intended to reduce unnecessary movement of devices between frequencies and/or cells when performing load balancing for devices in an idle mode.

Title: Method and server for managing the transmission of packets over a plurality of paths
Inventor: JONATHAN TAQUET
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2015-10-30
Abstract: Transmission of packets are managed over a multi-path connection between a server and a client that is not aware of multi-path signalling, by estimating a level of disorder tolerated by the client up to which packets from the server can be received out of order, and determining a scheduling scheme to be applied by the server for subsequent packet transmission over a plurality of paths to a same interface of the client. The level of disorder threshold may be determined by the maximum tolerated late or early packet arrival time in a clients reception buffer, or by estimating the reception buffer size. The tolerated disorder may be estimated from analysis of NACK messages or the packet loss rate from Receiver Report feedback messages. The tolerated disorder may be estimated by deliberately introducing disorder in a probing path by transmitting packets out of order, inserting an empty packet or by skipping a packet sequence number. Determining the scheduling scheme may comprise determining throughput, delaying transmission, selecting paths for RTCP and RTP packets, controlling an encoder, and increasing client reception buffer size. Disorder levels may be tested iteratively.
