Title: Processo para localização de estação móvel em conexão com uma transferência de controle potencial, e, rede de comunicações celulares
Inventor: LABONTE SYLVAIN
IPC: H04B7/04
Filed: 1999-12-28
Abstract: "PROCESSO PARA LOCALIZAçãO DE ESTAçãO MóVEL EM CONEXãO COM UMA TRANSFERêNCIA DE CONTROLE POTENCIAL, E, REDE DE COMUNICAçõES CELULARES". Uma rede de comunicações celulares incluem diversas células (100) cujas estações base possuem ambas capacidades de antena de setor (104) e antena inteligente (110). Enquanto envolvida em uma chamada (200), as medições de intensidade de sinal (202, 204) de enlace inferior da estação móvel (114) são feitas em seu próprio canal de tráfego de serviço e canais de controle das células vizinhas. Estas medições são então ajustadas (210) por um ou mais fatores que consideram as diferenças operacionais e físicas entre antena de setor e antena inteligente. Por exemplo, as medições de intensidade de sinal podem ser apropriadamente ajustadas por diferenças medidas no ganho entre a antena inteligente e a antena de setor, valores recuo de potência de saída associados a antena inteligente e antena de setor de suporte dos canais de tráfego em comparação com os canais de controle, e atenuação de controle de potência aplicada aos canais de tráfego. As medições de intensidade de sinal de enlace inferior ajustadas resultantes podem então ser comparadas com cada outra (como deslocamento por qualquer valor de histerese imposto) para localizar mais precisamente a estação móvel e definir uniformemente, previsivelmente e precisamente quando é apropriado autorizar uma transferência de controle.

Abstract: Thin cellulose hydrate films, having a superficial density of less than 15 gms. per square metre, for example, 10, 8, 6, and even 5 gms. per square metre, are obtained by extruding cuprammonium cellulose solution under pressure through narrow slots of 0.05 mm. to 0.5 mm. width, drawing out to the desired thinness through a coagulating or precipitating bath of dilute caustic soda, passing by means of suitable rotating transport appliances through the necessary after-treatment baths, and if necessary, drying on a system of heated rollers.  The structure of cuprammonium cellulose solution issuing from the extrusion appliance may be led first through an air gap of a few millimetres and then through a stretch of free precipitating bath amounting to several centimetres, after which it is allowed within this bath to run on to a drum of comparatively large diameter (e.g. 1 metre), to which it may be caused to adhere by endless bands, to prevent transverse shrinkage, and passed on to further treatment on subsequent transport appliances.  The coagulated film is preferably allowed to run on to a drum of large diameter at the point of entry into the first acid bath.  In an example, the solution comprises 7.2 per cent of cellulose, 7 per cent of ammonia, and 3.5 per cent of copper and the width of the extrusion slot is 0.15 mm.  The shaped solution passes first through air for 5 mm., and then freely through a 4.5 per cent soda lye for 16 cm. The partially coagulated film is supported on a rotating drum of 1 m. diameter during the remainder of the coagulation treatment, and then passed on to further treatment successively with water, 10 per cent sulphuric acid, water and glycerine.  The total stretch amounts to about 300 per cent, and the rate at which the film leaves the last bath, about 10 m. per minute.

Title: Microfabricated valves, pumps, mirror array and refracting structure
Inventor: UNGER MARC A
IPC: F04B43/04
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: A microfabricated structure is formed by layers 20,22 of elastomeric material having recesses or channels 23 formed in them either by moulding the layers with the recesses/channels in their surface or by incorporating a portion of photoresist material between the layers which is then removed. Between overlying layers in the region of the channels/recesses a thin membrane is formed which can be actuated so as to enter one of the channel/recess and so restrict or prevent flow in that channel/recess. A series of channels/recesses may be formed and the membranes actuated in sequence so as to provide a pumping action. The membranes may be actuated by fluid pressure in one of the channel/recess or by electrostatic or magnetic forces. The membranes may reflect light and a series of them may be provided to form a micro-mirror array. The elastomeric material may be capable of transmitting incident light enabling the invention to be applied to a refracting structure. The dimensions of the channels/recesses and the thickness of the membranes is in the micro-metre range.

Title: Failure detection in differential GPS
Inventor: KING THOMAS M
IPC: H04Q7/34
Filed: 2001-01-10
Abstract: A cellular network protocol which maintains the reliability of assisted GPS based positioning is taught. An Integrity Monitor (IM) informs mobile stations, their users, or networks of measurement quality and it warns them of failing and failed GPS satellites by isolating them from the effects of these failures. Whenever an unhealthy satellite is detected, its corresponding assistance data will be excluded for delivery or for position determination. In other words, there are two specific aspects to the Integrity Monitor (IM). For DGPS users, it predicts the reliability or quality of the DGPS corrections. For all users, it isolats the mobile position calculation from the effects of GPS satellite failures. The UDRE parameter, nominally output by a reference DGPS receiver, is used to communicate the DGPS quality information, and DGPS corrections are simply excluded for failed satellites. For autonomous GPS users, a special integrity message is required and defined to communicate the satellite failure status information.

Patent GB-2376584-A (GB)
Title: An adaptive predistorter using normalised errors
Inventor: MEADE STEVEN ANTHONY
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2001-06-15
Abstract: Residual distortion in a cascaded predistorter and amplifier combination 12,10 is measured by comparing the predistorter input S1 with a corresponding signal S2 derived from the amplifier output. In a Cartesian system, both the I and Q errors are normalised. In a polar system, the magnitude only is normalised. The coefficients of the predistorter 12 are updated in dependence on the measured errors. Normalisation of the errors renders the adjustment loop gain independent of the input signal amplitude, yielding predictable convergence. The loop gain may be increased if the amplifier distortion is large and reduced if the distortion is low. The predistorter 12 and its adaptive controller 24 are digital. The predistorter may use look-up tables.

Title: Method and means of characterizing a multiple port device
Inventor: BLACKHAM DAVID VERNON
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: A method and means of using a vector network analyser to characterise a device under test (DUT) comprises: measuring a transmission coefficient between a first and second ports and using this measurement to determine the actual transmission coefficient between the second and first ports. Error correction and normalization processing of measured transmission coefficients allow two reciprocal scattering parameters to be calculated from one transmission coefficient measurement. Characterizing a multiple port device can be hardware intensive and/or slow because of the number of sweeps a vector network analyser needs to make in different test configurations. However the present application reduces the number of test configurations required to fully characterise a device. As a result the test arrangement may reduce the amount of hardware required and/or make the test process faster.
