Title: Initiating closed subscriber group (CSG) cell proximity determination/fingerprinting and/or reporting using cell ID/code
Inventor: CALLENDER CHRISTOPHER PETER
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2012-01-30
Abstract: Basestations in UMTS and LTE systems transmit identification (eg. PLMN ID) which may include elements such as mobile country/network codes (MCC/MNC). Some codes/IDs may be reserved for control signalling purposes. The invention proposes using a code/ID, preferably reserved, to identify test cells. When a user equipment (UE) logs on to a test cell with a test ID (A) it may begin logging CSG cells that it is proximate to and wherein log-in is successful (B). This log may be appended to a CSG whitelist or may be a separate list. Upon return to the test cell (ie detection of the test ID) (C), the UE may report its record of proximate CSG cells to the network (D).

Title: Anchor/Shifting tool with sequential shift then release functionality
Inventor: COGHILL ANTHONY S
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 2010-11-05
Abstract: The tool can run in and latch another tool such as a ball valve into a packer, for example. It has the capability of operating the valve while still engaged to the valve housing. Once the valve is operated and released a pressure test can be conducted while the tool is still engaged to the valve housing. After that a predetermined applied force allows release from the valve housing without the valve shifting mechanism still engaged. In a different configuration the tool can be a simple pulling tool to remove the valve housing without shifting it. The tool has a rotational lock to allow release from a packer by turning to the right. In another configuration it can be a latch tool for a production string that shifts the valve as it releases when the production string is pulled.

IPC: H04L27/34
Filed: 2014-05-07
Abstract: Embodiments provide multi-rate encoding and decoding of signals in multiple modulation formats, e.g. BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM. A transmitter 102 receives an input data signal at one of several data rates, e.g. a 50Gbps signal at one input port 107(1), or a 100Gbps signal by receiving 50Gbs at each of two input ports 107(1), 107(2) etc. Depending on the data rate, one or more of a plurality of forward error correction (FEC) units (202, figs 2 & 3) are activated to produce one or more streams of FEC encoded data, each encoder unit operating at the same data rate. Differential encoding operations are then performed and the encoded output stream is modulated for transmission. For the case of 16 QAM, a two-stage QPSK mapping process may be used (figs. 3A, 4). A multi-rate turbo differential decoder 114 receives the modulated signal, performs differential decoding and then activates one or more of a plurality of FEC decoder units (506, fig. 5).

Title: Blanking out of pulses in pulsed lasers for LDI mass spectrometers
Inventor: ANDREAS HAASE
IPC: H01S3/115
Filed: 2016-08-31
Abstract: A method for irradiation and ionisation of a sample on a mass spectrometer sample support by laser desorption (e.g. matrix-assisted laser desorption MALDI) is disclosed. The method comprises imparting a predefined direction of polarisation to photons using a polarisation rotator, guiding the light pulses to the sample support, causing the polarisation rotator to change the direction of polarisation at specific times, and using a polarisation sensitive component to blank out the changed pulses so that individual or groups of laser light pulses are prevented from causing ionisation at the sample support. Instead of interrupting the clocked sequence of the laser operation, laser light pulses are blanked out so that subse­quent light pulses do not have a higher energy density. An optical cavity is also disclosed having a high-reflectivity mirror, a partially transparent mirror and a laser crystal positioned in between, further comprising a polarisation rotator and a polarisation filter wherein the polarisation rotator is positioned directly adjacent to the partially transparent mirror. The polarisation rotator may comprise a Pockels cell and a quarter wave plate. The optical cavity is suitable for laser emission with adjustable polarisation.
