Title: Power control in an inter-band multi-carrier capable device
Inventor: IMMONEN ANTTI OSKARI
IPC: H04L5/00
Filed: 2012-01-26
Abstract: Measures for enabling power control in an inter-band multi-carrier capable device such as inter-band Carrier Aggregation (CA) capable device. Such measures comprise calculating at least one output power restriction value for a cumulative output power for a combination of at least two uplink (UL) carriers of a terminal device, the two uplink carriers operating on different bands, and signaling the calculated at least one output power restriction value to the terminal device. Power control for the at least two uplink carriers can be performed using the acquired at least one output power restriction value. The power control at the terminal device side is performed such that the cumulative output power for the combination of the uplink carriers is equal to or less than the output power restriction value. Power control may be employed in inter-band carrier aggregation if an intermodulation distortion (IMD) component (produced when multiple carriers operating on different frequency bands are combined) falls within a frequency band being used by a device, such as for downlink transmission, and would otherwise cause excessive desensitisation.

Title: Gasket and system for control of the temperature of an engine
Inventor: HUTCHINS WILLIAM
IPC: F01P3/02
Filed: 2013-02-13
Abstract: A head gasket 112 is arranged between a cylinder block 116 and a cylinder head 110 of an engine. The gasket includes at least one passageway arranged to fluidly communicate a cylinder block opening 145 with a cylinder head opening 130. The gasket is sized and arranged so that coolant passing through the passageway is selectively restricted by viscous drag whereas gas is able to pass freely through the passageway. Preferably, the passageway includes a control gap 120 that has a maximum height of 0.3mm so that coolant is restricted from passing by viscous drag when the coolant is cold, i.e. during a cold engine start, thereby allowing coolant to be quickly heated up to an operating temperature by the engine. Once heated to the operating temperature, the viscosity of the coolant is decreased and coolant can pass through the control gap. The gasket reduces the warm-up time of the engine. The gasket may comprise three or more layers 112a-c and may define more than one control gap. The control gap is defined, at least in part, by the cylinder head and/or cylinder block and can include perturbations (405, figure 5D) to increase viscous drag.

Title: Method and device for processing received data
Inventor: CAILLERIE ALAIN
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2013-05-16
Abstract: A receiver processes plural received copies of packets of the same data, each packet being encoded using a product code and comprising data blocks organized into rows and columns, each row and column having a respective cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error-detecting code. The processing detects erroneous row and column data from their associated error-detecting codes; identifies, in the packet, a potentially erroneous data block that belongs to a row and a column of blocks that both have been detected as erroneous; determines, in another copy of the packet, a non-erroneous data block corresponding to the identified potentially erroneous data block ; and replaces the identified potentially erroneous block by the determined non-erroneous block. Applications include wireless millimetre-type short-range networks where the multiple copies of packets overcome potential line-of-sight interference in e.g. robot control. A count of erroneous packets may be used to estimate channel link quality.
