Title: Providing information relating to a location of a user device in a cell configured as a mobile cell
Inventor: TIETZ ROBERT
IPC: H04W4/20
Filed: 2012-07-05
Abstract: A system 1 is disclosed in which a communication node provides information relating to a location of a user device 4 in a communication system. The communication node (e.g. Donor eNB (DeNB)) 5 associates with a Relay Node (RN) 3 for providing the user device 4 with access to the communication system via a cell operated by the relay node 3. The communication node obtains an indication of whether or not said cell is formed by a Mobile Relay Node (MRN) configured as a mobile cell and provides, when the cell is configured as a mobile cell, information indicating that the cell is configured as a mobile cell to a further communication node. A Location Services (LCS) client 13 may request location related information for a target user device 4 from a LCS Server 11.

Title: Preventing propagation of a system failure caused by faulty instructions in a distributed environment
Inventor: MILANESE NICOLA
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2012-11-29
Abstract: A sequence of instructions is executed 102 on a first client in a client-server distributed system. The instructions are provided to multiple clients by a management control server, and relate to maintenance actions, such as software patches. If a failure is detected 104 on the first client as a result of carrying out the instructions, the client will generate a warning message 106 which includes a means of identifying the faulty instructions. A message is sent 108 for informing a second client in the environment. The message may cause the second client to determine if it carries the same instructions, and, if so, whether they have been executed or installed. If they have not, the faulty instructions are prevented from operating on the second client. If they have, and no error has occurred, the message from the first client is dismissed; if the same error has occurred, further messages are dispatched. This prevents the cascading distribution of the failure throughout the environment.

Title: Suspension system for the rotor of a linear actuator
Inventor: NEUHAUS BRUNO
IPC: F16C35/04
Filed: 2012-12-13
Abstract: A linear actuator has a stator with two stator coils 30 and pole plates 32 forming stator poles. A rotor is rotatably mounted to interact with the stator poles 32, the rotor comprising a hollow cup shaped permanent magnet 36 fitted to a rotor shaft 44 by coupler 38 and being supported by a bearing 28 located within the magnet, axially between axial ends of the permanent magnet 36. The location of the bearing, which may be a roller, needle, or ball bearing, at the approximate balance point of the rotor reduces risk of radial deflection. A single bearing or a combination of bearings may be used. An linear output shaft 20, which is co-axial with the rotor, is driven by the rotor through a screw connection 50. Thrust bearing 42 engages a spring preloaded thrust pad though a friction cup 56 which increases the holding force when the motor is not operating and a detent plate 34 may also be included to interact with the rotor poles.

Title: 3D sectorized path-loss models for 3D positioning of mobile terminals
Inventor: WIROLA LAURI AARNE JOHANNES
IPC: G01S5/02
Filed: 2013-08-16
Abstract: Indoor mobile positioning of a mobile device may be based upon WLAN Received Signal Strengths (RSS). Fingerprint data is collected which contain location estimate and RSS measurements from WLAN Access Points (APs). A mobile device is then able to estimate its position based on the RSS information it currently measures. However, this process is complicated by the existence of floors within a building. A method is proposed where position information and RSS information at that position are obtained. The method further comprises generating or updating a 3D sectorized path-loss model at least based on the position information and the received signal strength information, wherein one or more path loss parameters for a 3D sector are updated. The information derived from the 3D sectorized path-loss model, together with RSS information received from WLAN APs by a mobile device, is used to determine an estimate of a position of the mobile device.

IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 2012-02-17
Abstract: A virtual body model of a person is created with a small number of measurements and a single photograph and combined with one or more images of garments. The virtual body model represents a realistic representation of the users body and is used for visualizing photo-realistic fit visualizations of garments, hairstyles, make-up, and / or other accessories. The virtual garments are created using stitching plans for the garment and also from layers based on photographs of real garment from multiple angles. Furthermore the virtual body model is used in multiple embodiments of manual and automatic garment, make-up, and, hairstyle recommendations, such as, from channels, friends, and fashion entities. The virtual body model is sharable for, as example, visualization and comments on looks. Furthermore it is also used for enabling users to buy garments that fit other users, suitable for gifts or similar. The implementation can also be used in peer-to-peer online sales where garments can be bought with the knowledge that the seller has a similar body shape and size as the user as well as being used in manufacturing the garment chosen.
