Title: Packet layer transparent packet switching network
Inventor: SANDSTROM MARK HENRIK
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2009-05-11
Abstract: Packet forwarding systems and methods allow packet-layer transparent, multi— stage packet forwarding among a set of network access points. Packet forwarding across networks utilizing the invention is directly controllable through the upper-layer nodes, e.g. routers, interconnected by such transparent packet forwarding networks. The systems and methods provide packet-layer routing, switching and forwarding look-up-table fee and transparent forwarding of label-encapsulated multi-protocol packet traffic among a set of routers. The invention enables flexible and efficient packet multicast and anycast capabilities along with real-time dynamic load balancing and fast packet-level traffic protection rerouting. The invention replaces the need for packet forwarding look-up-tables in a router interconnect network by a set of rules using which such network forwards packets directly based on their forwarding labels inserted in the packet headers by the routers exchanging packets through said network, thus simplifying network management and equipment implementation, and facilitating optimization of packet traffic flow across communications networks.

Title: Fluid flow control circuit for operation of an actuator
Inventor: FISHWICK JAMES
IPC: F15B13/042
Filed: 2008-07-11
Abstract: A fluid flow control device such as a volume booster has an inlet, an outlet and an exhaust port all for an operating fluid. A pilot inlet receives a pilot pressure signal which operates a valve stem actuator via a piston. The valve stem is operable to open a supply valve between the inlet and outlet and, separately and independently, to open an exhaust valve disposed between the outlet and the exhaust. In a further position both the valves are closed. A first fluid leak path is provided between the valve stem and the supply valve for allowing fluid to leak through the supply valve chamber when the supply valve is open and a second fluid leak path is defined by the exhaust valve for allowing fluid to leak through the exhaust valve chamber. The leak paths provide for a force balancing arrangement that allows the valve stem to move easily and the piston to be reduced in size. The arrangement allows a quick exhaust to flow through the device instead of using a separate component. It also allows the device to provide a regulated flow of fluid to the actuator.

Title: Power control in an inter-band multi-carrier capable device
Inventor: IMMONEN ANTTI OSKARI
IPC: H04L5/00
Filed: 2012-05-14
Abstract: Measures for enabling per-carrier power control for inter-band multi-carrier capable devices, such as for example inter-band carrier aggregation (CA) capable devices. Such measures may for example comprise calculating a desired cumulative output power value for a combination of at least two uplink carriers of a terminal device, said two uplink carriers operating on different bands, setting an output power value for each of the at least two uplink carriers of the terminal device based on the calculated desired cumulative output power value, and providing, for the terminal device, a power control instruction for the at least two uplink carriers at the terminal device in accordance with the output power values set for the at least two uplink carriers. A power level scheduling mechanism is achieved, by which individual uplink carriers (at individual transmitters) at terminal devices are assignable such that intermodulation distortion (IMD) is at least mitigated The calculation operation takes into account a limiting intermodulation factor in/of the terminal device, i.e. a factor which defined the most stringent requirement for output power consideration. Such a limiting intermodulation factor relates to the limiting linearity factor, i.e. a factor being effective for the nonlinearity in active and/or passive components of a device transmitter, receiver or a transceiver.

Title: Real space mapping of ionic diffusion and electrochemical activity in energy storage and conversion materials
Inventor: KALININ SERGEI V
IPC: B82Y35/00
Filed: 2011-11-14
Abstract: A method and system for probing mobile ion diffusivity and electrochemical reactivity on a nanometer length scale of a free electrochemically active surface includes a control module that biases the surface of the material. An electrical excitation signal is applied to the material and induces the movement of mobile ions. An SPM probe in contact with the surface of the material detects the displacement of mobile ions at the surface of the material. A detector measures an electromechanical strain response at the surface of the material based on the movement and reactions of the mobile ions. The use of an SPM tip to detect local deformations allows highly reproducible measurements in an ambient environment without visible changes in surface structure. The measurements illustrate effective spatial resolution comparable with defect spacing and well below characteristic grain sizes of the material.
