Title: Handover with carrier aggregation
Inventor: VELDE HIMKE VAN DER
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2010-04-12
Abstract: A cell and a carrier frequency of a wireless access network may be configured as a component carrier, and at least two component carriers may be aggregated for communication between a user equipment (4) and a source wireless access node (6a). The aggregated component carriers comprise a primary component carrier and at least one secondary component carrier. Handover of a user equipment (4) from a source wireless access node (6a) to a target wireless access node (6b) is assisted by selecting, at the source wireless access node (6a), a first carrier frequency to be configured as a primary component carrier for communication with the target wireless access node (6b) after handover, and selecting, at the target wireless access node (6b), a second carrier frequency to be configured as a secondary component carrier for communication with the target wireless access node (6b) after handover. An advantage of selecting, at the target wireless access node (6b), the second carrier frequency to be configured as a secondary component carrier is that the target wireless access node (6b) may have information relating to resource availability at candidate frequencies and/or cells.

Title: Frame structure and signalling for wireless broadcast system
Inventor: MOURAD ALAIN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2011-04-08
Abstract: The invention seeks to provide a more concise frame structure by sending configuration data with a repetition length rather than sending configuration data in every frame as is typical. In transmission of data in a wireless communication system, the data may be transmitted in frames, each of which comprises a data section carrying data streams, and a preamble section carrying configuration data items comprising configuration data for use in receiving one or more corresponding data streams. In what is described herein, different repetition lengths are set for different respective types of configuration item, each repetition length defining a number of frames that sequentially follow within a frame structure before the respective type of data item is repeated. Data is transmitted in a sequence of frames such that the configuration data items are transmitted according to the respective repetition lengths. Thus, a relatively short repetition length may be set for configuration data items that can tolerate only minimal delay, and a longer repetition rate set for configuration data items that may tolerate longer delays; this enables a saving to be made in the signalling overhead associated with the transmission of the configuration data items, whilst maintaining a good quality of service. Figure shows a L1-config signaling portion comprising constant data 202 and configuration 204. The configuration data items 204a, 204N are of different types with different repetition lengths n shown in the format Pnm.

The spherical probing head (5) is mounted at one end of the insulating element (9), and it has a spherical capacitive plate over its surface. The capacitive signal coming from the spherical capacitive plate is outputted through the signal conducting rod (7). The active shielding pipe (8) is driven by the signal converting and processing circuit (13) of the probing system to maintain equipotential with the signal conducting rod (7). and so the influence of parasitic capacitance and spatial electromagnetic interference can be eliminated.

Filed: 2011-08-03
Abstract: A method for measuring high-energy radiation, whether gamma, beta, alpha or neutrons via a moderator and converter. A low voltage (5     20V) is applied to electrodes in an ion chamber filled with a fluid such as He-3 capable of forming ions. An ion current signal is measured in response to a pulsed voltage. A leakage current may be measured at zero voltage and subtracted, or eliminated by pulsing voltage at positive followed by negative polarity and averaging. A gain of an amplifier may also be determined at a voltage ramp. Also described is that the voltage is optimized to the point on the voltage-current response curve providing balance between noise due to higher voltage and maximum current response.

Title: Balancing consumption of random data using multiple sources with different levels of entropy
Inventor: WALKER JAMES WILLIAM
IPC: G06F7/58
Filed: 2012-05-30
Abstract: When a request for random data is received, the level of randomness or entropy required is determined. If the request is associated with an event requiring a high level of entropy, the random data is obtained from a source with high entropy. Such an event may be the initialization of a secure operation. Otherwise the data may be obtained from a source with low entropy. Once a source with high entropy has been selected, the data continues to be supplied from a high entropy source. There may be more than two levels of entropy, which are associated with different events. The request may be sent by a virtual machine 110 to an entropy manager 145 controlled by a hypervisor 140 as the result of the start of a virtual trusted platform module 115.
