Title: A double film bulk acoustic resonator with electrode edge alignments that provide improved Q or coupling coefficient
Inventor: BURAK DARIUSZ
IPC: H03H9/17
Filed: 2012-09-13
Abstract: The   àØootprint    of a film bulk acoustic resonator may be reduced by dividing the resonator and stacking the two constituent resonators to form a double film bulk acoustic resonator (DBAR) with the two resonators in electrical parallel. The effective parallel resistance Rp and the electromechanical coupling factor are reduced in such a stack, but these can be improved by laterally offsetting the electrodes in various configurations (figures 5-9) to suppress excitation of spurious lateral modes and to restrict the active region of the device to a zone above the acoustic isolator 52, which may be an air-gap or an acoustic mirror. The electrodes may be of an apodized polygonal shape (figure 4B).

Title: An Interference control mechanism using frequency carrier deactivation in an in-device co-existence scenario
Inventor: IMMONEN ANTTI OSKARI
IPC: H04B1/52
Filed: 2012-01-30
Abstract: Controlling communications conducted in multiple frequency bands so as to decrease an interference level between the communications. When an interference situation caused between a first set of communications (e.g. Uplink (UL)) performed on at least two different frequency bands (e.g. used for cellular wireless) and a communication (e.g. Downlink (DL)) performed on another frequency band (Industrial, Scientific and medical (ISM)) is determined, a frequency carrier deactivation processing is conducted so as to deactivate either one of the carriers of the at least two frequency bands of the set of (e.g. UL) communications. The deactivation processing may comprise an autonomous denial (inhibiting a transmission on the selected carrier for a predetermined time) on the UE side or an interference reporting with deactivation on the eNB side. Aspects of the invention include the UE sending an interference report message to the eNB in which the interference causing frequencies (e.g. pair of frequencies of the UL1 and UL2 connections (carriers)) are reported. On the basis of this interference report, the eNB 20 conducts deactivation processing for stopping a communication on one of the UL communications.

Title: Method, apparatus and computer program for operating a user equipment
Inventor: MOISANEN MATTI
IPC: H04W8/20
Filed: 2013-04-02
Abstract: A method for operating a user equipment (UE) in inter RAT handover, especially in the case of GSM to E-UTRAN handover. The method begins by determining that the current valid authentication for the UE, generated with a radio network operating with a first radio access technology (RAT), is not a mutual authentication between the UE and the network operating with the first RAT (102). In some networks, like GSM, only the UE is authenticated to the network, the network is not authenticated by the UE. In response, the UE takesaction to prevent the valid authentication from the first RAT from being used to authenticate with a second RAT that utilises mutual authentication (102). The UE action may include indicating, in a tracking area update message (TAU), that the UE does not have a valid security context, despite having a current GSM security context.

Title: Identification apparatus and method
Inventor: GOH YEE WOON
IPC: H04W4/00
Filed: 2013-05-02
Abstract: A method of using a machine readable unique ID code of a physical ID object in place of using (or having to enter) a password for accessing a videogame console user account. The unique ID code of the physical ID object s10 is associated with the password of a first user in the videogame console network s20, that allows, once the association is made, future logins to be based on presenting the unique ID code of the physical ID object. One particular embodiment is related to logging in multiple users/players concurrently to a videogame console such that the owner of the videogame console can log in by entering his/her username and password s30 and a guest/friend can also login by presenting their physical ID object s40, s50. Once logged in the system can track user activities of both users, e.g. while playing multiplayer games, and credit each users respective account or profile with rewards (e.g. trophies/achievements) earned while playing the game for each respective user/player. Presenting the physical ID object avoids a guest/friend having to enter his/her password while in the presence of others using the controller and on-screen keyboard. While logged in to the videogame console using the unique ID code the guest/friend may have restricted access to the operating system. The unique ID code may be a fiduciary marker such as one printed on, affixed to, or displayed by the physical ID object. The unique ID code may comprise a QR code read by a camera associated with the videogame console. Alternatively the unique ID code may be supplied from an RFID chip of the physical ID object. A further embodiment is related to accessing virtual assets, such as in-game characters, while playing a videogame, by presenting a physical ID object with an associated asset ID, wherein the physical ID object is a model of the virtual asset that it provides access to (i.e. the physical ID object resembles the in-game character its associated asset ID code unlocks).
