Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate dynamic load balancing in a communications network. In particular, one or more mobile devices can send random access preambles on an uplink frequency paired to a downlink frequency employed to connect the one or more mobile devices to a base station. The base station can determine if an uplink frequency load imbalance exists based upon the random access preambles. The base station can transmit an indicator on an acquisition indicator channel to at least one mobile device wherein the indicator includes a command to transition to a new uplink frequency. The mobile device can switch uplink frequencies in response to the command.

Granted: 2014-02-04
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de mesure de la vitesse initiale (V0) d'un projectile (6) ou analogue, et un procédé pouvant être mis en oeuvre au moyen de ce dispositif. Le dispositif comprend un canon ou un tube de lancement en tant qu'élément de guidage creux (1); un générateur de signal (4) qui est relié électriquement par un élément d'acheminement de signal à au moins un coupleur d'émission (2) afin d'activer le canon ou le tube de lancement (1); et une ligne de réception destinée à transmettre les signaux mesurés au niveau d'au moins un coupleur de réception (3), à un dispositif d'évaluation (5). La distance entre le coupleur d'émission (2) et le(s) coupleur(s) de réception (3) est variable et peut être sélectionnée de façon individuelle en fonction de la sélection de mode au niveau de l'élément de guidage creux (1). Le positionnement du coupleur de réception (3) par rapport au coupleur d'émission (2) dépend de la méthode de mesure préférée. Lorsque la vitesse est mesurée après le passage du projectile (6), le coupleur de réception (3) est disposé entre le fond de projectile et le coupleur d'émission (2), alors que le coupleur de réception (3) est disposé entre la pointe de projectile et le coupleur d'émission (2) lorsque la mesure de la vitesse (V0) a lieu avant le passage du projectile 6. En conséquence, lorsque les deux méthodes sont combinées, au moins deux coupleurs de réception (3) sont intégrés et le coupleur d'émission (2) est ensuite placé entre les deux coupleurs de réception (3). Le champ électromagnétique du canon ou tube de lancement (1) vide est mesuré sans projectile (6), à l'avant du projectile (6) ou à l'arrière du projectile (6), ou de façon combinée. La détermination de la vitesse initiale (V0) s'effectue alors en fonction des signaux mesurés.

Abstract: A lid for a beverage bottle includes a lid body that is fastenable onto the bottle and an actuation dial that rotates on the lid body. The actuation dial rotates a rotating spout while permitting the spout to move axially by teeth sliding in channels. As the spout is rotated, it moves on threads within the lid body to provide the axial movement. A gasket within the spout bears against a plug of the lid body when the spout has been moved to the closed position. The gasket is free of the plug to form a fluid passageway from the bottle through the lid body and the spout when the spout has been moved to the open position. The gasket includes a seal ring bearing on a fluid flow tube of the lid body to prevent leaks.

Abstract: Multiple downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) carriers can enhance wireless communication between nodes and user equipment (UE).  Among the carriers, it is beneficial to have some special, by configuration designated carriers to provide synchronization, system information, paging, data and control for multi-carrier enabled UEs. Thereby, overhead system information can be reduced. For instance, synchronization and paging for a certain cell are not provided on all carriers. A carrier can provide backward compatibility for single carrier UEs for access, synchronization, broadcast, and new control region within the data region of the legacy terminals.    Coordination between nodes for selecting anchor carriers that mitigate interference and for transmit power control for non-anchor carriers provide further network performance advantages.
