Title: Pilot signals for synchronization
Inventor: SONG YOUNG JOON
IPC: H04B1/7115
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: The frame words of the preferred embodiment are especially suitable for frame synchronization and/or channel estimation. By adding the autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions of frame words, double maximum values equal in magnitude and opposite polarity at zero and middle shifts are obtained. This property can be used to slot-by-slot, double-check frame synchronization timing, single frame synchronization and/or channel estimation and allows reduction of the synchronization search time. Further, the present invention allows a simpler construction of a correlator circuit for a receiver.

Title: SIMD arithmetic operation
Inventor: SYMES DOMINIC HUGO
IPC: G06F7/50
Filed: 2000-10-04
Abstract: An arithmetic single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) instruction is processed to add a promoted data word P of a first data word Rm to a second data word Rn to yield a result data word Rd value. The promoted data word is created by selecting non-adjacent portions of length A p3-p0 of the first data word based on a common shift amount (either 0 as shown or 8 indicated by dashed lines to use p3 and p1) and then either sign extending or zero extending these values to a second length B preferably twice the length of A to form the promoted data word. The addition of the promoted data word and the second data word is performed as a plurality of operations on portions of length B. There is also provided a means for combining a first portion of a first data word (a, Rn fig 3,4) with a second portion of a second data word (b[16+k:k], Rm fig 3,4) to form a result data word Rd.

Title: Selecting network system in a mobile terminal
Inventor: ARIMITSU KAZUHIRO
IPC: H04M1/72505
Filed: 2001-01-05
Abstract: Upon detecting that the signal level of a network to which a mobile terminal is connected has fallen below an acceptable level, the mobile measures the signal level of other networks. An alternative network is then selected based upon the measured signal level and some other available data about the networks. The other data may include the services offered by the networks, the connection costs or the power which would be consumed in connecting to them. The current network may instruct the mobile terminal to perform the signal level measurements, the result of the selected system being reported back to the network. The mobile terminal subsequently switches networks when requested to do so by the current network.

Title: Downlink power control method in a CDMA communication system
Inventor: MIYAMOTO YUKIE
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2001-02-07
Abstract: The transmit power P<SB>TX</SB> of a plurality of code division multiple access (CDMA) downlink channels is controlled in a base station within a control range between a nominal lower P<SB>MIN</SB> and nominal upper limit P<SB>MAX</SB> by TPC commands received from mobile stations requesting a change in the transmit power. In response, the base station changes the transmit power by a stepsize value P<SB>stp</SB>. If this hypothetically changed transmission power would take it below the nominal minimum then a comparison is made of the signal to interference ratio SIR and a specified threshold value T<SB>SIR</SB>. The transmission power is set below the nominal minimum if SIR>T<SB>SIR</SB> and is otherwise set to be equal to the nominal minimum P<SB>MIN</SB>. If the step would take the transmission power above the nominal maximum then the increase is allowed if the total power P<SB>TOTAL</SB> of the plurality of downlink channels is lower than a specified threshold value T<SB>TOTAL</SB> otherwise the transmission power is set to be equal to the nominal maximum. In a second embodiment the base station may be arranged to increment a count value K whilst the transmission power level is lower than the nominal minimum. The count value represents the length of time the transmission power is below the nominal minimum. The transmission power is maintained at the nominal minimum P<SB>MIN</SB> until the count value reaches a threshold value T<SB>K</SB> at which point it is determined that the quality of the channel is able to tolerate a further reduction in power and the current transmit power level is reduced. One advantage is that the base station is allowed to operate outside of its power control limits to maintain sufficient quality in downlink channels for mobile stations in near or far locations.

Title: Foldable stroller
Inventor: LAN RED
IPC: B62B7/06
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: A foldable stroller (see figure 2) includes a positioning member 3 disposed fixedly on one inclined lower rod 21 of a front wheel unit 2, and a guideway member 5 disposed fixedly on one inclined upper rod (42) of a handle unit 4. A resilient element (73 in figure 3) biases an abutment surface 716 of a sliding element 71 to engage a positioning surface 323 of the positioning member 3, thereby locking the handle unit 4 releasably on the front wheel unit 2. The abutment surface 716 and the positioning surface 323 are inclined with respect to the longitudinal directions of the upper and lower rods. Actuation of a connecting element 72 results in separation of the abutment surface 716 from the positioning surface 323, thereby permitting folding of the handle unit on the front wheel unit (see figure 8).

Title: Self-service terminal
Inventor: MCCALLUM MARK WILLIAM JAMES
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2001-10-12
Abstract: A Self service terminal (SST) such as an automatic teller machine (ATM) comprises a user interface and a surcharge application 54 for levying a surcharge on transactions which operates to vary the rate of surcharge applied. The surcharge application 54 may vary the rate of surcharged applied accordingly to a predetermined criterion. The surcharge application may provide maximum and minimum rates of surcharge to allow an operator to determine the range within which the surcharge will be varied. The surcharge application may automatically vary the rate of surcharge applied depending on the time at which a transaction is conducted. A method of levying a surcharge on a transaction at a self-service terminal comprises the steps of analysing the number of transactions executed in a recent time period and comparing this number with a predetermined criterion, and setting a surcharge rate accordingly.
