Title: Energy harvesting generator
Inventor: ATHERTON NIGEL
IPC: H02K7/18
Filed: 2010-04-30
Abstract: An electricity generator system comprises a conductor 5, a magnet 7 and conversion means to convert motion of the magnet to electricity. Motion of the conductor relative to the magnet induces a current in the conductor and the induced current in the conductor causes motion of the magnet via the magnetic field created by the induced current. Magnet 7 can be a permanent magnet; be cylindrical, rectangular section or spherical; and have diametric poles and more than two poles. Magnet 7 may be mounted on bearings 25, on a flexible member (fig 8, 51) or a spring (fig 9, 55) and be free to move within a casing (fig 3, 8). Magnet 7 and conductor 5 may be not physically coupled. The means to convert motion of the magnet to electricity may be a coil 9 surrounding or partially surrounding (fig 4, 27) the magnet whose motion induces a current in the coil. The relative motion of the conductor 5 may be continuous or oscillatory and the motion of the magnet may be rotational, linear, or oscillatory. A coupling (fig 1, 9) may couple the magnet to the conversion means. The generator may be used for a motion detector for parts of an engine or for traffic where the conductor 5 is provided by vehicles.

Title: Using relay nodes to store and transmit mbms data
Inventor: HOWARD PAUL
IPC: H04W28/02
Filed: 2011-08-19
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for transmitting data to terminal devices in a wireless telecommunications system are described. The data may be user-plane data associated with a repeating Multimedia Broadcast / Multicast Services (MBMS) session which is to be transmitted using MBMS over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) techniques in a network comprising at least one relay node supported by a donor base station. The scheme involves delivering the data from the base station to the relay node in advance of a scheduled transmission to terminal devices at a first time, and transmitting the data from the relay node to a terminal device at the first time. The relay node is further arranged to store the data in a cache. The relay node may then retrieve the data from the cache in advance of a scheduled transmission to terminal devices at a second time, and transmit the retrieved data to a terminal device at the second time. Thus the relay node is able to play a role in supporting a repeated MBSFN transmission at both a first time and a second time, while only receiving data from the base station once. This saves on the resources that would otherwise be used in delivering data for subsequent transmission from the base station to the relay node
