Title: A method of controlling noise rise in a cell.
Inventor: BOOKER PHILIP
IPC: H04Q7/20
Filed: 2005-04-28
Abstract: A method of controlling noise rise in a cell (1, 2, 3) comprises setting a maximum noise rise for a cell; allocating maximum noise rise for each mobile station (7, 8, 9) within the cell (3); measuring at a base station (NB3) the actual noise rise from each mobile station within the cell; and signalling the measured noise rise at the base station to a network (5). The cell is operating enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH). The contribution (20) to noise rise of EDCH signalling is determined and received signal code power (RSCP) at the base station (NB3) is measured. The RSCP measurement is decoded to determine contributions from mobile stations within (7, 8, 9) and outside (10, 11, 12) the cell (3); contributions from mobile stations within the cell are calculated; and the network (5) is notified of the measured noise rise. In another embodiment, the method comprises setting a maximum noise rise for a cell (1, 2, 3); allocating maximum noise rise for each mobile station (7, 8, 9) within the cell (3); measuring at a base station (NB3) the actual noise rise from each mobile station within the cell; and signalling the measured noise rise at the base station to a network (5). The cell operates enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH); and the contribution (20) to noise rise of EDCH signalling is determined; then a compensation value is applied to compensate for temperature induced noise (17).

Title: Method and system of network management and service provisioning for broadband wireless networks
Inventor: CHOU JOEY
IPC: H04L47/2491
Filed: 2005-07-29
Abstract: A method and system for network management and service provisioning for broadband wireless networks. The method and system employ a network management system (NMS) to manage nodes corresponding to base stations (BS) and subscriber stations (SS). A service flow database is used to store data relating to pre-provisioned dynamic service flows for subscribers having service agreements with a service provider for the broadband wireless network. Management Information Bases (MIBs) are hosted by the various BSs in the network, along with the SSs. The MIBs contain tabulated data that is used to define and provision dynamic service flows. The MIBs are structured to enable management of the MIBs via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messaging and SNMP agents operating on the SNMP managed nodes for the BSs and SSs. The provisioning technique associates sets of Quality of Service (Qos) parameters with corresponding service classes, enabling a set of QoS parameters for a given dynamic service flow to be identified by the corresponding service class.

Title: A system for detecting defects using eddy currents
Inventor: DALY ALAN
IPC: G01N27/90
Filed: 2008-02-15
Abstract: Eddy current instrument 10 comprises oscillator 20 supplying a drive signal to probe 40. A sensing device detects eddy currents in the test piece. The sensed signal is converted into an integer value using analog-to-digital converter 60. The integer values are added or subtracted 70, 80 to or from accumulators 71, 81. Accumulators 71, 81 provide a rolling average of a predetermined number of integer numbers. Flag controller 90 and buffers (72, 82, fig. 3) determine whether the generated integer numbers are added or subtracted 70, 80 to the running total or if no action is taken. Accumulator 71 produces a value proportional to the real component and accumulator 81 produces a value proportional to the imaginary component of the detected signal. Phase and amplitude data is calculated in order to detect the presence of a defect.

When operated whilst the latch is locked the first part engages the shuttle which moves from the rest position to a second actuated position in which it does not engage the second part and the latch remains retained by pawl. Preferably in the unlocked position the shuttle is biased to slide in a first direction (fig.5) by abutments (75, 77, fig.5) and torsion spring whereas in the locked position an electromagnet 72 selectively holds a link (68, fig.5) causing shuttle to pivot in a second direction upon operation of the handle (fig.6).
