Filed: 2016-05-13
Abstract: Supporting more efficiently access to an unlicensed communications channel includes parameters in a Downlink Control Information, DCI, message sent from an eNB (101) to a User Equipment, UE, (103a). The eNB is arranged to configure a Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) uplink channel wherein at least one symbol of a sub-frame is blanked to create a gap during which the UE can perform a Listen Before Talk, LBT, procedure and wherein the eNB is further arranged to configure a Maximum Channel Occupancy Time (MCOT) period during which a channel of the unlicensed radio resource may be occupied. The DCI message includes information relating to at least one of: (i) the position of the gap; (ii) a remaining duration of the MCOT period which is available to the wireless communication device; (iii) an instruction for the wireless communication device to switch from a Category 4 to a Category 2 LBT procedure; (iv) an instruction for the wireless communication device to postpone a Category 4 LBT procedure following a previous LBT procedure failure. A Category 2 LBT procedure is always preferred for LAA uplink as it helps a UE to grab an unlicensed channel with a higher probability compared with other categories.

Title: Removal of switching discontinuity in a hybrid switched mode amplifier
Inventor: JOHN L MELANSON
IPC: H03F3/217
Filed: 2016-11-21
Abstract: A signal processing system produces a load output voltage VOUT as a difference between the load voltages at first and second output terminals. A first processing path 26 generates a first load voltage signal by processing a first signal derived from an input signal e.g. by a power converter (fig 4). A second processing path processes a second signal derived from the input signal and comprising information of the input signal absent from the first load voltage to generate a second load voltage signal, e.g. by linear amplifier 60. The second signal is combined with the first load voltage filtered by a high pass filter which may comprise capacitor 52 and parasitic resistance 52. The load voltage VOUT may be generated from the first and second load voltages using first full bridge switches 64, 66, 68 and 70. Capacitor 52 may be connected to the input of the second processing path using second full bridge switches 54, 56, 58 and 59 which may be switched contemporaneously with the first bridge switches to minimise voltage discontinuities caused by switching the first bridge.

Title: Dynamic sensing of the top of cement (TOC) during cementing of a well casing in a well bore
Inventor: KRISHNA M RAVI
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2015-03-20
Abstract: A well casing is cemented in a well bore in a subterranean formation by pumping cement slurry down into the well casing so that the cement slurry flows up into an annulus surrounding the well casing. While pumping the cement slurry, the position of the top of the cement slurry in the annulus is sensed, and the rise of the sensed position of the top of the cement slurry in the annulus is recorded as a function of time. The recording is analyzed to evaluate the cement job. For example, the analysis may indicate a problem addressed by adjusting a cement plan for a future cement job, and the analysis may indicate a need to repair a location of the set cement by perforating the well casing at the location to be repaired, and pumping cement slurry down the well casing to fill the location to be repaired.
