Title: Uplink message reduction in mobile communications
Inventor: VELDE HIMKE VAN DER
IPC: H04W76/11
Filed: 2006-10-03
Abstract: A method of reducing the size of an initial uplink message sent between a mobile terminal and a network element of a mobile communications network, wherein the size of an initial uplink message is reduced by omitting the public land mobile network and/or the tracking area identity in the message. In particular, if the cell (node B) broadcasts a single identity which is the same is that to be signalled by the UE then the UE sends a radio resource connection request message omitting the identity. If the cell broadcasts multiple identities one of which is the identity to be signaled by the UE, then the UE includes a pointer to the identity in the message. The invention allows faster transitions from the LTE-idle to LTE-active state in UTRAN networks.

Title: Gas sensor measurements using a voltage pulse
Inventor: DING YI
IPC: G01N27/419
Filed: 2007-11-15
Abstract: Performing a measurement using an electrochemical gas sensor by applying a voltage pulse across the measuring electrode pair and detecting the current through the measuring electrode pair during the voltage pulse (i.e. in the transient state, before the current decays to a steady state level). This method potentially allows for improved accuracy, particularly when measuring using sensors susceptible to ageing wherein the transient measurements are less affected by ageing (due to polarization effects) than steady state measurements. Various types of electrochemical gas sensors are disclosed including NOX, (including nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide), oxygen, O2, carbon monoxide, CO, water, H2O or sulphur oxides, SOX. The main embodiment described in measuring NOX concentrations, for example, in emissions from a combustion engine such as a vehicle exhaust. The voltage pulse has a duration/width in the range of 0.1 milliseconds to 10 seconds and a magnitude of between 0.1 to 1.2 Volts. The arrangement may further comprise applying a continuous voltage to a pumping electrode pair to at least partially remove an interfering species (such as O2) from the sensor.

Title: Rear wheel steering system.
Inventor: THURSTON-THORPE JEVON
IPC: B62D7/14
Filed: 2008-06-26
Abstract: A rear wheel steered vehicle comprises at least one pair of steered front wheels (120 see fig 3) and one pair of rear wheels (130 see fig 3) which are fixed to the vehicle in such a manner that they can be turned away from a straight ahead position by at least one actuator (330, 330' see fig 2). The vehicle includes a control system which is arranged to control the operation of the or each actuator (330, 330') and so in turn control the angular position of the rear wheels (130) relative to the straight ahead position. During normal operating conditions the rear wheels (130) are steered as a function of the steering of the front wheels of the vehicle such that the front and rear wheels work together to reduce the turning circle of the vehicle. Under certain vehicle operating conditions the control system is configured to cause the actuator (330, 330') to move the rear wheels (130) to the straight ahead position, or to maintain the rear wheels (130) in the straight ahead position if already there, independent of the steering of the front wheels (120). The control system comprises an electronic control unit (300 see fig 3) which receives signals from sensors and a switch (340 see fig 3) associated with a sliding rear door (110 see fig 3) so that rear wheel steering does not occur at inappropriate times.

Title: Shaping condition deciding method, and shaping condition deciding system
Inventor: NAGAI YUICHI
IPC: B21D22/00
Filed: 2007-10-04
Abstract: Intended is to provide a shaping rate deciding method capable of deciding the shaping rate of a pressing apparatus properly and promptly. In the shaping rate deciding method for deciding the shaping rate of the pressing apparatus, a plate material is provided with a plurality of measurement points, and is pressed at a predetermined shaping rate by the pressing apparatus. Next, the distorted states (at points Q1 - QN) at the individual measurement points thus pressed are plotted in a shaping limit diagram containing a shaping limit line (FL) of the plate material, thereby to form a distortion distribution diagram. Of the points (Q1 -QN) plotted in the distortion distribution diagram, the point the closest to the shaping limit line (FL) is adopted as a specific measurement point. The shaping rate of the pressing apparatus is made lower than the predetermined shaping rate, in case the specific measurement point is located in an extended region (  e  2 > 0), but is made higher than the predetermined rate, in case the specific measurement point is located in a drawn region (  e  2   &  0).

Patent GB-2474877-A (GB)
Title: Adjustable safety barrier transmitter
Inventor: GRONLUND OLE
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2009-10-29
Abstract: A transmitter for a safety barrier actuates a source of electromagnetic radiation such as light emitting diode (LED) 10 intermittently. The intensity of emission varies in accordance with the amount of charge on a storage device, such as capacitor 40, which is set in a period when radiation is not being emitted. The charge can be set by a pulse width modulated waveform produced by microprocessor 70. The charge may be set between bursts of pulsed radiation and boosted during emission by applying a constant voltage. The potential created by the stored charge can be applied to the gate of a drive transistor 20 and while the charge store is being charged may be below a threshold required to cause emission. A feedback path including a receiver 80 can monitor the radiation emitted and be used to control its intensity. The transmitter can be used in a safety edge or barrier and detects the interruption of a light path between transmitter and receiver. Controlling the transmitter output power allows discrimination between radiation received along an intended light path and that, for example, from reflection.
