Title: Transmission of channel state information
Inventor: ROMAN TIMO E
IPC: H04B7/04
Filed: 2011-11-14
Abstract: Signalling information relating to Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMI) channel state information characteristics that the equipment determines to be highest priority for a downlink is transmitted via a radio communications uplink from a user equipment to a node of a cellular wireless network. The user equipment receives an indicator from the node indicating a preferred basis of the highest priority signalling information. The user equipment compiles the highest priority signalling information according to the preferred basis, and sends the compiled signalling information to the node. If the user equipment determines that the number of Multiple Input Multiple Output layers preferred for use for the downlink is one, then signalling information is sent in different messages indicating a first and second codeword respectively, the first codeword being selected to be a closest codeword to an intended Multiple Input Multiple Output channel state information characteristic, and the second characteristic is selected to be a less close codeword.

Title: Submersible structure for one or more tidal energy converters
Inventor: HEMSTED PHILIP JOHN
IPC: F03B13/26
Filed: 2012-05-16
Abstract: A submersible structure is adapted to host one or more tidal energy converters (TECs), the structure including one or more sea-towable, barge-shaped hulls. Each hull can host one or more TECs; these are typically installed onto the structure after the structure has been sunk to the sea-bed in its final deployment position. Sea-towable, barge shaped hulls can be rapidly and reliably towed to the deployment position using standard commercial tugs and can then be sunk to the seabed, where their barge-shaped (i.e. flat bottomed) design makes them inherently stable, when sufficiently ballasted. Hydro-dynamic streamlining may be used to minimise the downstream turbulence generated by the foundation, thus improving power generation. Each hull may be constructed from standardised modules. Each hull may have a standardised socket for mounting a range of TECs. The position of each TEC may be adjustable. Navigation sensors may be provided to provide control inputs for descent/ascent. Power may be provided from rechargeable batteries.
