Title: System for preventing cell overloading and a method of call processing
Inventor: LEE WON CHEON
IPC: H04W28/08
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: A system for preventing overloading of a cell determines a cell to be in an overloaded state if a number of available resources is below a threshold. A dedicated overload managing workstation 306 then selects at least one adjacent cell within a zone and transfers cell information to a radio network controller 302a-p. The radio network controller receives current resource availability for the selected cell and classifies cells in order from greatest to smallest available resources if more than one adjacent cell has been selected. A list of cell identities are prepared for adjacent cells having available resources above a second threshold, and at least one mobile station communicating in the overloading cell is transferred to an adjacent cell in the list. In a further embodiment, a method for processing a call comprises the step of constructing a bearer capability table at a radio network controller using a program loading data at a time of initialization.

Patent GB-2369931-A (GB)
Title: An Electro-Magnetically Operated Device
Inventor: WYGNANSKI WLADYSLAW
IPC: H01H51/22
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: An electro-magnetically operated device, for example for use as a valve to control fluid flow, in which a magnetisable armature 10, extends into an air gap between opposite permanent poles of a magnetic circuit 24, 26, and is movable, between two end positions adjacent the poles through an intermediate position towards which it is resiliently biased. The armature motion may be sliding in a guide, or pivoting. An electromagnet 32, 30, when energised, polarises the armature so that it is attracted to one or other of the permanent poles. Adjusting the air gaps between the armature and each pole to balance the resilience of the armature will produce a bistable characteristic in which the armature will always lie adjacent one or other of the poles, and can be switched to the opposite pole by reversing the energising current. Alternatively, a monostable characteristic is enabled by unequal air gaps. An embodiment is described where a wedge shaped armature rocks in a V-shaped gap between two poles (fig 11), and in a further embodiment, two V-shaped air gaps containing two armatures are back to back (fig 14). A separate invention is described, whereby a resilient magnetisable armature is sandwiched between two parts of a magnetic circuit, the resilient force generated by deflecting the resilient material from an undeflected condition to one side or the other.
