Title: Controlling operation of an oscillator in a basestation of a cellular communications system
Inventor: CARTER ALAN
IPC: H04B1/59
Filed: 2007-02-02
Abstract: A basestation in a cellular communication system corrects frequency errors in signals 5 generated within the basestation. The frequency errors may be corrected on the basis of signals transmitted by one or more other basestation within the network. As an alternative, the basestation may request information from one or mobile devices that are also able to detect transmissions from other basestations. An oscillator in a basestation is controlled by detecting signals transmitted by at least one other basestation, estimating a frequency error between a signal generated within the basestation and the detected signals transmitted by at least one other basestation and controlling the operation of the oscillator to minimize the error. Consequently timing information from the other basestation is used to compensate for any frequency inaccuracies and a low cost oscillator is possible.

Title: Conversion of mathematical statements
Inventor: SOKLAKOV ANDREI NIKOLAEVICH
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 2005-09-19
Abstract: A method for computer-assisted conversion of mathematical statements from one data format to another and an apparatus for carrying out the method are particularly useful for computer recognition of visual images of mathematical statements. There are difficulties in converting a mathematical statement perfectly from, say, a hand-written document into a mathematical computer code, especially if scanning and recognition software is used. Errors may also occur where electronic documents are transmitted over noisy communications channels. To overcome these difficulties, the method comprises inputting to a computer a mathematical statement expressed by a binary relation operator in a data file in the first format; passing the file through a recognition means to convert the file with the statement to a different data format; partitioning the statement into mathematical blocks using the binary relation operators; checking a mathematical block against at least one other block using the analytic manipulation means; identifying errors found by the checking; and reporting the errors.
